Later, she was brought back by Wuhan University and sent to Yangyuan Brainwashing Center. Yu Wenqing suffered from constant harassment, from the heat from the sun, and from sleep deprivation. The police put unknown substances in her food, giving her a bad headache, chest and abdominal pain, whole body edema, and muddle-headedness.

7. [Jiamusi, Heilongjiang Province] Jiamusi Forced Labor Camp Enslaves and Maltreats Dafa Practitioners

Jiamusi Forced Labor Camp personnel fed the detainees with chicken feed. Though not for long, the labor camp started to cook with black flour and mildewed green flour. Many people were poisoned and had diarrhea. Dafa practitioner Bi Jiaxin was poisoned, had diarrhea, and was malnourished. She was sent home when she became critically ill and she later died.

Since March 10, the forced labor camp has been feeding detainees steamed bread made with black flour and salt water, causing many to have diarrhea, and stomachaches, some could not eat, but their work quotas were not reduced. In order to save money, the labor camp reduces spending on the prisoners' meals. They are cruelly tormenting Dafa practitioners.

Police officer Li Xiujin was on duty on March 23, and she increased everyone's quota. People worked from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Li shouted, "This is the order from brigade chief He Qiang. There is no way you can rest without finishing the work! You are here, not at home."

Dafa practitioner Huang Jie can only walk with great effort and his vision is often blurry. Li said, "You can't rest, you must work!"

He was arrested in Baoding on March 7, 2004 and detained at Pingshan County Detention Center. Recently, Pingshan County "610 Office" sentenced him to 3 years of forced labor.
