Exposing the Crimes at Shenzhen City No. 2 Labor Camp in Guangdong Province
(Clearwisdom.net) Judging from its outward appearance, Shenzhen City No.
2 Labor Camp looks like a school with modern facilities, but it is in fact a
terrible den of evil. The labor camp authorities here established a "Falun
Gong Special Administration Office" [abbreviated "Special
Administration Office"] for the sole purpose of persecuting Falun Gong
practitioners. Officials do not go through legal procedures to sentence a practitioner to
forced labor nor do they hold a trial. In addition, they forbid practitioners
from appealing their sentences. The officials simply run through brief
administrative procedures with the police. A police chief or even a local police
officer can deprive a practitioner of his freedom by sending him to a forced
labor camp based on a series of made-up charges. Physical Torture The environment in this camp is filled with great tension and hypocrisy.
Several thousand people are held there. The camp is run in a semi-military
style. Detainees usually go through several months of military training after
their arrival and do military drills, regardless of the weather. The detainees
also work long hours each day to make products for export, bringing the camp
tremendous profit. The detainees' living space is crowded, and the food is
terrible. Steadfast Falun Gong practitioners are placed with other detainees. Li Hangzhou, Su Yijie, and other guards at Shenzhen No. 2 Labor Camp
subjected practitioners to brutal persecution under orders from the 610
Office and the head of the labor camp. The guards order criminal inmates to monitor practitioners around the clock
to make sure they cannot do the Falun Gong exercises. They also make the
practitioners work long hours or watch Dafa-slandering videos. They have a
secret torture chamber where the prisoners who are retired artillery soldiers
and former special agents torture practitioners through sleep deprivation and
long-term standing in an attempt to destroy their will. Guard Li Hangzhou ordered inmates to push practitioners to the floor and tie
their arms behind their backs. They held the practitioner down by putting their
feet on his shoulders. Then they pulled his arms up from behind as high as they
could go. They then tied the practitioner's chest, arms and handcuffed hands
together with rope, making it difficult for the practitioner to breathe.
Following that, they made the practitioner sit in the full lotus position and
used rope to tie the practitioner's ankles and pull the feet towards the hips as
much as possible. The practitioner was then tied firmly. They then pushed the
practitioner's head down until it reached his knees and they connected his feet,
legs and bowed neck with a rope and tightened it as tightly as possible. The
practitioner's body formed a triangle-circle shape, an excruciatingly painful
position. Furthermore, the inmates and guards verbally insulted Dafa while
pouring cold water on the practitioner's face and burning the soles of his feet
with cigarettes. They yanked the practitioner's nose upward until blood gushed
out and also pinched the male practitioners' foreskin. Practitioner Mr. Xu Tianbao, whose former name was Xu Qitian, was
illegally arrested in 2002. He was savagely tortured and sent to the
No. 2 Forced Labor Camp where he is still being held. The guards handcuffed him
to a long bench in a very painful position while blasting slander into his ears
with two loudspeakers. His ears bled and later became infected. Ever since then,
pus and other fluid often come out of his ears. Despite his insistent requests,
the labor camp officials only gave him superficial anti-infection treatment. Xu
Qitian completely lost the hearing in his left ear. He now suffers from
dizziness and headaches as aftereffects of the torture. The camp officials still
deny him medical treatment. Brainwashing The "staff members" and "reformed" practitioners at the
area of the "Special Administration Office" can engage in various
sports and entertainment activities; their mobility is unlimited. Doctors and
camp officials treat them them with extraordinary care when they experience any
slight discomfort. Their family members, friends, and work supervisors can visit
them. In the evening they can watch TV, sing songs, read books, and "study
the Fa." They live in spacious upstairs rooms and are served
good food. "Reformed" practitioners can meet and talk with each other.
Former practitioners who completely cooperate with the labor camp officials are
released within a short period of time and can return to work. The camp
officials try to create dramatically different conditions for practitioners who
are determined and for those who have "reformed," in an effort to
destroy the will of the steadfast practitioners. In this environment people
conduct themselves with false kindness and carry out "reform" work. The camp officials met with little success when they tried to
"reform" practitioners through violence. They racked their brains and
resorted to the Communist Party's book of psychological war tactics accumulated
over the past several decades. They studied the hobbies of Falun Gong
practitioners and tried to make a "breakthrough" by targeting the
practitioners' fundamental attachments. They even promised the practitioners
that they would be able to "study the Fa" after they
"reformed." Their tactics had some effect on practitioners with strong
human attachments, as these practitioners think "reforming" is the
right thing to do. Some practitioners even have the misconception that
"reforming" is a necessary step on their cultivation path. The
"Special Administration Office" would never create a true cultivation
environment for Dafa practitioners. Their goal is to deceive the practitioners
and to achieve a high "reform" rate. The officials targeted some practitioners' pursuit of comfort and their
admiration of veteran practitioners and practitioners with advanced academic
degrees. They brought some collaborators who have PhD or Master's
degrees and who were veteran practitioners or volunteer assistants at practice
sites to reiterate how they had once been determined in Dafa practice, how they
had appealed for Dafa, and how much tribulation they experienced yet they still
could not free themselves. Their tribulations grew worse and they realized they
had gone astray, so they decided to follow their "gut feelings" and
switch to another cultivation method. After they had voluntarily
"reformed," their troubles were reduced and the pressure was gone, the
path of cultivation became more and more smooth, they feel better and better as
they went along, and they now feel great about themselves. They lied, saying
that one can transcend humanness and truly practice cultivation on a high level
only through "reforming." The officials also ordered a group of collaborators and guards with legal
knowledge to argue with and verbally attack determined practitioners. They took
passages from Zhuan Falun and twisted the meaning by
interpreting out of context. They continuously asserted tremendous pressure on
determined practitioners for a long time. Several determined practitioners were sent to another labor camp to be
physically tortured because they had resisted brainwashing. Su Yijie, head of
the Special Administration Office, sarcastically said these practitioners were
"drinking a forfeit for refusing a toast." The camp officials also transferred determined practitioners to other labor
camps because they are afraid of their crimes being exposed and the effect of
steadfast practitioners on "reformed" practitioners. Practitioner Guo
Xiongbing, who had once "reformed," realized his mistake through
studying the Fa. He wanted to withdraw his guarantee statement and
went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution. His determination shocked
the evildoers. The camp heads told the Special Administration Office guards that they could
do anything to "reform" a practitioner. They also threatened the
guards with loss of their jobs if they couldn't force the practitioners to
renounce Falun Dafa. These camp officials also make "reformed" practitioners write
essays to slander Dafa. Then they spread these lies to people who don't know
anything about Dafa saying, "This-and-that practitioner has reformed,"
in order to incite hatred against Dafa.
