3. [Jiangsu Province] Practitioners Inhumanly Tortured at the Jiangsu Provincial Forced Labor Camp
The Jiangsu Provincial Women's Forced Labor Camp in Jurong County is an evil site where Falun Dafa practitioners have been cruelly tortured. More than 600 female practitioners have been detained there and subjected to authoritarian brainwashing.
The practitioners who refused to renounce their practice were subjected to sleep deprivation and forced to squat while being harassed. Furthermore, they were beaten by there own "personal cangues" (1). These practitioners suffered myriad tortures, both mental and physical in nature. For example, in the freezing cold of winter they would be stripped down to their thin underwear, then the cangues would douse them with cold water, soaking them from head to feet. On the Chinese New Year in 2004, as the practitioner Ms. Gao Yulan was made to endure her third round of brainwashing, the cangues not only poured cold water all over her but also beat her, severely injuring one of her eyes.
