(Clearwisdom.net) I was detained in the Heizuizi Women's Labor Camp in Jilin Province, and I would like to write down my experiences there to expose the police's crimes.
There are seven teams at the Heizuizi Women's Labor Camp in Jilin Province, and over one thousand Falun Gong practitioners are detained in six of the seven teams and so-called "Group Training". I was detained at the seventh team. The police officer who was in charge of the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners was called Li Shoufen. She routinely verbally abuses the practitioners and forces us to write "experiences" and "reports" based on their evil propaganda and lies. When we refuse, they then torture and physically abuse us, even the elderly practitioners. Falun Gong practitioners have to suffer through brainwashing and slave labor. In addition to beating the determined Falun Gong practitioners herself, Li Shoufen also incites former practitioners who went astray to do the same. Several of them watch one determined Falun Gong practitioner 24 hours a day to keep them from sleeping for several days at a time. The practitioners are given two small buns and a small amount of pickled vegetables daily. They are forced to listen to the twisted propaganda from the labor camp. This is so-called "working on your mind". If a practitioner does not give in, then she will be sent to the "Group Training" team.
In "Group Training", determined practitioners are put in the "small cell" and watched around the clock. They do not allow sleeping for long periods of time. The police use all kinds of torture methods to try to destroy the practitioners’ determination. They will receive a 500-Yuan bonus for every practitioner who gives up her belief.
Falun Gong practitioner Zhao Sumei was pushed to give up the practice by the fourth deputy team leader Zhang Guimei since day one, but Zhao Sumei has steadfastly refused. Zhang Guimei poured hot tea on her face and kicked her on the left side of her chest over ten times. On the same night, policemen handcuffed her to the bed, with both arms raised up high. She could not sleep all night.
At 1:30 pm on March 24, 2006, guard Wang Zhufeng called Yuan Sufang to the team leader’s office. The leader Zhang Guimei, Li Xiaohuan and guard Wang Zhufeng circled around Yuan Sufang. They cursed and beat her, and then dragged her into a small cell. Yuan's four limbs were fixed on the bed. Then, Wang Zhufeng and Zhang Guimei tortured her with electric needles, saying that they were trying to "cure" her. Guan Wei held her head down, and doctors Wei Yun and Dong Wei held her limbs down. Wang Zhufeng, Wei Yuan and inmates dragged her to the doctor’s office, her clothes torn as a result. Wang Zhufeng and Weiyuan took her clothes off and fixed her four limbs to the table and bed with belts and handcuffs. Dong Wei stuck over ten needles into her acupuncture points and then increased the voltage. Yuan Sumei's body and head started to shake violently, and she had intense pain in her ribs, as though they were being broken. She was foaming at the mouth. The pain was intense beyond description. Even today her right wrist still has the marks from the handcuffs. The muscles in her hands were twisted and disfigured. They tortured her four times this way.
After all the torture, Yuan Sufang's hands shook so badly that she could not work making feather butterflies. Seeing this, guard Wang Zhufeng dragged her off the bed and beat her again. Then Wang tied her up to the death bed. Yuan Sufang’s condition got to be so bad that she was released 4 days later. Her limbs lost feeling, and she could not take care of herself for three months. The muscles atrophied as a result.
At 1 p.m. on November 25, 2005, guard Wang Zhufeng called Yuan Sufang to the team leader’s office. Team leader Zhang Guimei forced her to write a report. Ms. Yuan said, "I did not do anything wrong, so I have nothing to report." Zhang Guimei beat her to the floor and sat on Ms. Yuan’s neck, one hand holding her head down and another hand covering her mouth. Then Zhang Guimei, Wang Zhufeng and Feng Xiaochun tied her to the death bed again. Ms. Yuan started a hunger strike to protest the persecution. In the early afternoon of November 29, Ms. Yuan started suffering from severe stomach pain. Guard Guan Wei then let her go back to her cell.
On December 13, 2005, Falun Gong practitioner Wang Xuezhu did not submit a report on some political issues that she was forced to write. Feng Xiaochu slapped her in the face twice and shocked her neck and face with an electric baton, causing pain and swelling. Ms. Yuan asked Ms. Wang Xuezhu whether Wang suffered electric shock. Just because of that, Yuan was called to the director’s office the next day at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Guard Feng Xiaochu slapped her face three times. Guard Wang Zhufeng shocked her face, neck and hand using an electric baton. She was accused of "saying things she should not say and asking questions she should not ask." She was denied the right to buy food. Her term was extended by 45 days.
Falun Gong practitioner Wang Ting is a Ph.D. student from Changchun University of Technology. She was detained in the Heizuizi Women's Labor Camp in Jilin Province since December 12, 2005. She was directly sent to a small cell at the Fourth Team. Wang Ting was on hunger strike for two days to protest the persecution. On the third day, she was called to the director’s office. Guard Guan Wei asked her whether she would eat. She answered "No". Guan replied "You will be responsible for your words, then." Team leader Zhang Guimei, Guard Guan Wei, Wang Zhufeng took her back to the small cell. Zhang Guimei handcuffed her hands and legs on the beds, with the four limbs outstretched. She was asked again, but she answered that she would not eat. Zhang Guimei used the electric baton to shock her legs and then hands. Then they force-fed her. On the second day Wang Ting started to eat, but Zhang Guimei forced her to write the "five statements" [Separation, Repentance, Renunciation, and others to denounce Falun Gong]. She refused. Zhang Guimei ordered them to keep her tied up to the death bed. She had to urinate into a container on the bed. Sometimes she was not covered with anything. Ten days later she was released, but she could not work for over a month.
On January 29, 2006 Falun Gong practitioner Zhao Sumei voiced New Year's greetings to Master out loud while she was standing in line to wait for breakfast. Because of this, she was tied to a bed for six days by Guan Wei. Her left hand was cuffed to the bed frame, and she had to relieve herself on the bed.
From the beginning of April to April 11, Wei Yan forced Yang Hongmei and Chang Suwen to take drugs to reduce their blood pressure, 6 to 9 pills each time. Ms. Yang and Ms. Chang became very weak and bedridden because of the overdose.
