Exposing the Zhongba Women's Forced Labor Camp's Cruel "Transformation" Methods (Guizhou Province)
(Clearwisdom.net) I am a Dafa practitioner from Guizhou Province. During
the eight years of persecution at the hands of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP),
I have been illegally arrested and detained many times. When I was
in the Zhongba Women's Forced Labor Camp in Guizhou Province, I was beaten to
the point of being being severely injured and was black and blue all over my
body. The perpetrators exploited my under-aged son to "transform" me.
My son attempted suicide three times under such agony. I have been illegally detained in the Dayingpo Police Station, Wudang
District Police Station and Baihuashan Detention Center before and after 2000.
When the police raided my home, they confiscated thousands of yuan,
which belonged to my husband's workplace. On August 27, 2001, while I was working, three policemen grabbed my hair,
punched my back with their fists, and dragged me into a car. I was taken to the
Zhongba Women's Forced Labor Camp in Guizhou Province and sentenced to three
years. During the time in labor camp, I personally experienced and witnessed all the
methods of torture the perpetrators used on Dafa practitioners. In April of
2003, the labor camp formulated an evil plan to systematically
"transform" steadfast Dafa practitioners. There were several small
rooms that were completely sealed and Dafa practitioners were sent to each
individual room. Other than the guard and inmates who participated in torturing
the Dafa practitioners, nobody was allowed near any of these rooms. People were
not allowed to discuss anything they heard or witnessed in those rooms, as
otherwise they would be punished and their sentence would be extended. Dafa practitioners were forced into slave labor, had to memorize the prison
regulations by heart, were forced to stand for long periods of time, and were
sleep deprived for a long time. Also, the officers instigated the criminal
inmates to beat and curse Dafa practitioners at will. In addition, Dafa
practitioners were forced to write the so-called three statements.
The perpetrators tortured Dafa practitioners mentally and physically until they
wrote the so-called "three statements." In May of 2003, I was forced into a small room next to the guards' office.
There were eight inmates divided into two teams and they took turns torturing
me. They forced me to stand at attention, kept beating me on my chest and
kicking my private area, and dragged me around in circles. They also forced me
to run back and forth; they forced me to lower my head and stare at a high spot
without blinking my eyes; they used thick books to beat my head; deprived me of
sleep and used needles to poke me; they emitted toxic fumes in the small room,
almost choking me to death. When the perpetrators were tired, they took a rest
and then began the next round. I was tortured for more than forty days. I was
completely black and blue, my wounded flesh felt like it was decomposing and my
legs felt like wood because they were swollen to the point that the skin was
stretched and shiny and was seeping pus and fluid. Another fellow practitioner was tortured for fifty days and they extended her
sentence for five more months. The police instigated these inmates to use any
means to "transform" Dafa practitioners. If they
"transformed" practitioners, their sentences would be reduced; if they
were empathetic toward Dafa practitioners, their sentences would be increased. One fellow practitioner suffered a mental collapse after the torture; the
perpetrator still tortured her on a daily basis. I often heard her crying and
agonizing moaning. The perpetrators also tortured us mentally. They exploited my under-aged son
by forcing him to persuade me to "transform". At the time, my son was
still in high school and was unable to bear the pain, which lead him to attempt
suicide three times. I was in severe mental agony. After the last unsuccessful
suicide attempt, I told my son: "Life is precious, if you do not cherish
your life, I cannot help you." I put down my attachment of sentimentality
and the tribulation went away. He no longer attempts suicide. When I was in a semi-coma after torture, the perpetrators forced me to sign
my name on a statement they had written. After I regained consciousness three
days later, I quickly declared that I do not acknowledge such
"transformation." Posting date: 8/6/2007 |
