How Practitioners Detained in Shaanxi Women's Forced Labor Camp Resist Torture

Jan. 10, 2007

(Clearwisdom.net) On the morning of May 13, 2004, nine Falun Gong practitioners who were detained in the South Building at Shaanxi Province Women's Forced Labor Camp shouted together "Falun Dafa is good," and "Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance is good." The nine practitioners were Wei Xinrong, Zhou Yating, Luo Yan, ,Wang Xinlian, Chen Caiping, Wang Wenhua , Fan Shuilian, Xue Lijun and Chen Chun'e.

Staff of the forced labor camp brutally persecuted practitioners Zhou Yating, Chen Caiping and Wei Xinrong, forcing them to wear "restrictive clothing." Zhou Yating protested against the persecution and went on hunger strike for more than ten days.

May 13 (also April 8 of the lunar calendar), was Master's birthday. In order to express their determination in practicing Falun Gong and their gratitude to Master, practitioners yelled "Falun Dafa is good," "Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance is good," and "Happy birthday to Master." Their words shocked the evildoers and staff at the forced labor camp.

Practitioner Wang Xinlian was forced to stand for one day. She was also forced to write the so-called "understanding statement." On July 16, several police came to Wang and read out the so-called "notice." The notice stated that she was to be severely punished for ten days because she led other practitioners to shout words of truth. The police stuck the notice on Ms. Wang's bed. Wang Xinlian therefore went on hunger strike to protest the persecution.

On July 20, eight other practitioners who were also detained in the South Building, cooperated with Ms. Wang and collectively went on a hunger strike to protest the torture methods that the forced labor camp used in order to force practitioners to give up the practice. Similar incidents occurred before. When they worked past twelve o'clock at night, practitioners would stop working and collectively go on strike. The guards could not do much. The practitioners were therefore able to sleep shortly after twelve o'clock at night.

The collective hunger strike illustrates the power of practitioners. On July 26, the practitioners were transferred to the "education group" of the North Building. In the morning, no matter what methods the prison guards used, practitioners would not go out. The prison guards then asked practitioners to have breakfast, yet practitioners would not pay attention to them. The guards then started to persecute the practitioners.

The head of the police team, Pei Heng, took practitioner Xue Lijun to the office and asked her to drink milk. Xue refused. Pei then threw the container at Xue. On the next day, Xue's eyes were bruised. They then started force feeding her. Several drug addicts would press the practitioner down, and force open her mouth. The guards then inserted tubes into practitioner's stomach and also administered intravenous injections over and over again. At 9 a.m. of July 31, the wall facing the "education group" collapsed.

The instructor, police officer Li Zhen, was transferred to a new group that consisted of only practitioners. Two months later, she tripped and her leg was broken. We are here to warn the followers of the evil party to wake up, quit the Chinese Communist Party and repair the damage they brought to Falun Dafa and the practitioners. If they continue to follow the evil regime, they will have a tragic ending.
