Ms. Sun Chongzhen Exposes the Persecution She Suffered in Jinan City Women's Forced Labor Camp
(Clearwisdom.net) My name is Sun Chongzhen. I am a 41-year-old woman.
While I was clarifying the truth about Falun Gong at Liang Dian in
Junan County, Shandong Province on July 11, 2003, I was reported and arrested. I
was sent to Jinan City Women's Forced Labor Camp by a 610 Office
agent in Junan County on August 1, 2003. Since then I have suffered three years
of persecution at the labor camp. Right after the officers arrested me, while in the vehicle, they started
kicking and hitting me. During the ensuing interrogation, I refused to cooperate
and did not tell them my name and address [Note: Because of the
Chinese Communist Party's practice of implicating and harassing family members
and work units of Falun Gong practitioners, practitioners often refuse to give
their names when they are arrested, in order to protect their families and
associates]. They brutally kicked me and hit me again and forbade me to use
the bathroom. They sent me to the Junan Detention Center and stripped me for a
body search. On July 13, 2003, I was handcuffed and tied to a metal chair by agents from
the 610 Office. As I refused to cooperate with them, they brutally kicked my
legs and tried to force me to tell my name. I was tortured for three days. They
tried to force me to provide my fingerprints, and photographed me. When I did
not cooperate, they had criminal inmates hold my arms and kick me. Finally, a guard from the village where my mother lives reported my name and
I was sent to the Jinan City Women's Forced Labor Camp on August 1, 2003. The
Dadian Town head and agents from the 610 Office said, "You always say Falun
Gong is good and tell how you benefited from it. Now it's your chance to really
taste the benefits of practicing Falun Gong." The police bribed the labor camp to finish all the paperwork. They then
attempted to force me to sign the documents and fingerprint them. I did not
cooperate. Without any formal paperwork issued, I was sent into a demon's den.
The guards locked me in a small cell every day and forbade me to meet anyone.
They forced me to watch TV programs slandering Dafa. They found some former
practitioners who had gone against Dafa to tell me lies. Guards including Wang
Shuzhen wrote a guarantee statement and attempted to force me to
sign and fingerprint it. I didn't follow their orders. A group of guards then
held me down. Some of them pulled my hands to put my fingerprint on the
statement. After that, they forced me to do work for at least 12 hours per day.
Sometimes, they made me work overtime, until 1:00 or 2:00 a.m. On December 23, 2004, I refused to follow the order to do prison exercises.
Guard Sun Juan made a phone call to Division Head Liu Yuqin. Four guards,
including Deputy Division Head Sun Qunli tortured me in the file room. I
clarified the truth to them. Liu Yuqin slammed my head into a wall and I lost
consciousness. They then handcuffed me to a heating pipe with one hand up and
one hand down. When I came to, Sun Qunli said that I was faking it. I was handcuffed for six days and was forbidden to wash myself or wear warm
clothes. When I finally got a jacket, the guards would not unlock my handcuffs;
therefore, I could only put on one sleeve. When eating and drinking, I could
only use one hand. I asked for a pair of pants, but because I was handcuffed so
low, I couldn't pull the pants up. The pants only sat on my hips. When it was
cold my hands hurt and when they turned on the heat my hands were burning. The guards slandered Master, Dafa and me every day. These evildoers
persecuted me in this way for countless days. During the night of April 22, 2005, when the guards returned to the dorm from
a meeting, practitioner Du Yifeng would not cooperate with the guards by saying
"Present." Guards Sun Juan and Xiao Ying pulled Du Yifeng to a
solitary confinement cell. Du Yifeng shouted. The guards then forced everyone to
sit. I was worried about Du Yifeng and didn't follow the guards' orders. Guards
Geng Xiaomei, Sun Juan and Xiao Ying forced me to say practitioner Du was wrong
for not saying "Present." If I didn't comply, they would send me to a
solitary confinement cell and would prevent me from using the bathroom. I didn't
listen to them so they decided to pull me into a solitary confinement cell. I
held onto a bed and they couldn't pull me away. They called Division Head Liu
Yuqin and Tian E from the Management Division and two male guards. The seven
guards then handcuffed me to a heating pipe in the television room, with one
hand as high as possible and the other hand as low as possible. After being handcuffed for two days, I was experiencing additional
tribulations and had diarrhea. I asked to use the bathroom. I asked every time
the guards came by. Li Yu tried to take advantage of my request to force me to
cooperate with them. They didn't let me go to the bathroom until 8:00 a.m. the
next morning. Liu Yuqin didn't leave me alone after she had unlocked my
handcuffs. She wanted to see if I truly had diarrhea. After I returned [from the
toilet] they handcuffed me to the stairs for one day. After four or five days, Du Yifeng's and my feet were swollen and red. We
couldn't put our shoes on any more. Liu Yuqin forced Du Yifeng to read materials
slandering Dafa but Ms. Du tore them up. Liu Yuqing then locked Du Yifeng in a
bathroom and sent me to a solitary confinement cell. This time, another
practitioner named Deng Liangcun was also locked up and persecuted in a solitary
confinement cell for several days. On June 8, guard Geng Xiaomei made practitioner Chen Yuhua and me pack, and
go to the Fifth Division (the Strict Discipline Team). Guard Wang Shuzhen
ordered us to say "Present." I didn't say it. The guards searched our
things and threw clothes, napkins and papers all over the floor. Guard Liu Xia
held onto my clothes to search for Master's lectures and then confiscated all of
my daily necessities. There were eight practitioners in Group Three [in the Fifth Division]. None
of us cooperated with the guards. Sixty-year-old practitioner Liu Xiaorong
shouted, "Falun Dafa is good!" She was dragged into a solitary
confinement cell and locked in there for three days before she was transferred
to Group Eight. This time, criminal inmates were watching us. We were forbidden to open
windows or doors or turn on fans. We were forbidden to use the public bathrooms.
We were further forbidden to meet with anyone and were only permitted to wash
our clothes once a month. We had to pre-wash the clothes in our cell and others
rinsed them outside for us. Between June 8 and August 3, 2005, I only washed my
hair once. We were fortunate to have Master's protection during this evil persecution
and did not face any danger. We resisted the persecution and refused to wear the
prison uniform. Guard Wang Shuzhen incited the inmates to remove practitioners'
clothes. Practitioner Liu Jingmei threw the uniform in water. Guard Wang Shuzhen
took it out and urged the inmates to put it on Liu Jingmei. We went on a hunger
strike to protest the persecution. Four days later, the guards dragged me into the hallway. I shouted, "Falun
Dafa is good!" They couldn't stop me by gagging me with towels, so they put
their hands in my mouth and scratched me. My mouth was bloody. They held onto my
feet and dragged me to the prison doctor's office, to force-feed me. They tied
my hands and feet to a bed. I suffered so much during the brutal forced-feeding
that I vomited and made a mess on myself. Guard Wang Shuzhen pushed against my
abdomen with her legs, and with one hand pulled my hair and with the other
pressed down on my jaw. Deputy Division Head Wand Yuerao stepped on my genitals.
The pain almost made me lose consciousness. My stomach hurt after the force-feeding, and I began to vomit again. The
guards gagged me with towels, almost suffocating me. They pulled my hair out and
much of it was all over the floor. For the third time, Wang Shuzhen tied me to
the bed and pulled my hair toward the headboard and pushed my head down. She
force-fed me half a bowl of powdered milk along with two spoonfuls of salt. She
left the feeding tube in. The guards kept me tied up for a total of 28 days. Out
of the 28 days, I was tied up day and night for 11 days and I was only permitted
to remain in one position to sleep. Another time guard Wang Yuerao purposely gave me a hard time. I refused to
cooperate. She then forbade the inmates who were responsible for watching me to
sleep, along with me. The inmates were trying hard to reduce their sentences.
They tortured me brutally. It was another sleepless night. Early the next day,
guard Wang Shuzhen ordered me to carry a sewing machine. I didn't follow her
order so she cursed at me again. On October 21, 2005, the guards transferred me to Group Six and tortured me
ruthlessly. Practitioner Chen Yuhua and I were locked in the same northern cell.
Chen Yuhua went on a hunger strike. After four days she became very weak and was
dragged out to be force-fed. I never saw her or heard from her again after that. Guard Wang Shuzhen used the excuse of checking hygiene in the cells and
forced me to sit on a small stool 13 cm high and 10 cm wide without moving
around. She forbade me to use the bathroom. Sometimes people from the Procuratorate came to inspect. The
guards forbade me to say anything about the abuse. I spoke with those people
about the situation in the labor camp. They usually said, "You can write
letters. I'll resolve it." But after I spent a long time to finally write a
report, guard Wang Liping took it away. Another time, two new inmates were assigned to monitor me. We ate food from
the same bowl. They were suddenly told one day not to eat or drink any more. A
physical checkup was arranged for the next day. They were scared because they
knew that two inmates in Group Four had been released because of having
hepatitis. They thought they were being segregated and thought they had gotten
the disease themselves as well. I told them not to worry because if it were
truly the case, they wouldn't still be here. The guards then changed all the
utensils and made everyone take medicine for a week to prevent the disease, but
they told the inmates that it was for sunstroke prevention. I didn't take the
medicine. They cursed me again. The guards used the inmates to brutally persecute me so the inmates could get
their sentences reduced. The inmates did not let me move. If I moved they would
kick me and hit me ruthlessly. One day they tried to tear my clothes off to
force me to change into a prison uniform. I fought back and they weren't
successful. In retaliation they forbade me to wash my clothes or have a bowel
movement. Usually they let me go to the bathroom once a day. This time they
would not let me go for five days. At last, they were afraid of something
unexpected happening to me, so they let me go in a bag in my cell and took it
out. Not seeing the sunlight all day, without any freedom, listening to the guards
and inmates slandering Dafa every day, was such a suffering. The guards forbade
us to open the windows or doors. There were no fans in the summer. They tied us
up, kicked us, and verbally abused us and restricted our toilet use. Such
persecution and abuse! The guards threatened the inmates who monitored me not to
say anything to the outside world. Otherwise, they would have their sentences
extended. The parties mainly responsible for persecuting practitioners are as follows. The First Division: Liu Yuqin (Head of the Division), Sun Qunli (Deputy Head of the Division),
Sun Juan (Deputy Head of the Division) The Fifth Division: Wang Yuerao (Deputy Head of the Division), Yin Chuanfang (Deputy Head of the
Division) The First Division: Zhang Yongmei (Group Head of the Division), Tian E (Division Head), Niu
Xuelian (Director), Sun Xiufeng (Deputy Head of the Second Division), Xiao Ying,
Geng Xiaomei, Shi Yongmei, Wang Shuzhen
