The following are what I personally witnessed inside Team 304 of the Shijiazhuang City Labor Camp in Hebei Province:

Falun Dafa practitioner Song Guoxing conducted a hunger strike to protest his illegal detention and forced brainwashing classes. During nine months while on hunger strike he came close to death several times. His body was covered with scars and his lower jaw was dislocated due to the force feedings. Song Guoxing said when he was alive, "The force feeding personnel put a lot of salt in the milk powder they used and forced me to swallow things they fished out of the garbage can."

Falun Dafa practitioner Zhang Minxiao was hung up in a room from the day he arrived at the Team 304. Labor camp police officers, Wang Liqing and Jiang Qingchun issued orders to tape Zhang Minxiao's mouth shut and repeatedly shock him with high voltage electric batons.

Mr. Zhang, a practitioner from Cangzhou City, was tortured for more than one month and not allowed to go to the restroom for very long periods of time.

In winter of 2000, Director Meng Qingzhong of the detention center at Botou City, Hebei Province, forced several female practitioners to stand in the snow with bare feet and be hung up by their hands. Then he used electric batons to shock their faces, necks and breasts. All ten female Dafa practitioners resolutely refused to give up practicing Falun Dafa, so Meng Qingzhong shocked their genital areas until the electric baton ran out of power. Before leaving he kicked them some more. After Meng left, these female practitioners were left hanging there in the cold wind and snow.

One labor camp police officer tied practitioner Fu Qimou onto a metal bed for several days to punish him for not being able to finish his work assignment on time. Fu Qimou was shocked with electric batons and forced to swallow two big bowls of human feces.

Zhu Zhongyong is a younger practitioner. When he arrived at the Team 304, the police officers ordered that Zhu be sworn at and beaten daily. Under the intense pressure Zhu Zhongyong suffered a mental collapse. Labor camp officials then hung him up in a confined cell for several months. Mr. Zhu Zhongyong's mental collapse was caused by the persecution from the labor camp officers, but police from the labor camp turned around and said that his mental disorder was due to practicing Falun Gong.

I was arrested five times and illegally detained at the detention center for eight and a half months before I was transferred to Team 304 of the Shijiazhuang Labor Camp. In the camp, twenty to thirty police officers tried to brainwash me. They refused to allow me to sleep and used all kinds of physical punishment to force me to give up practicing Dafa. After not achieving their goal, they started to slander Dafa and Teacher in front of me every day.
