(Clearwisdom.net) In Heizuizi Women's Forced Labor Camp in Changchun City, Jilin Province, the wardens have had Ms. Li Xiuhong tied up around the clock for eight months in order to prevent her from practicing the Falun Dafa exercises. Her family is deeply worried about her health and mental condition and believes this torture endangers her life.
The labor camp knows that Ms. Li will practice the exercises if they don't tie her up, which would encourage other imprisoned practitioners to do the same. Their reasoning is that, if they release her, the practitioners in her area would be encouraged to continue their practice. The wardens have stated that they would release her if she would promise not to practice the exercises or read the Fa for ten days. However, this "deal" is questionable, since the Chinese government organizations don't even follow the laws and regulations they set for themselves. The wardens also ordered her family to try to persuade her to stop practicing Dafa because her health has declined rapidly due to the torture (the labor camp won't stop the torture unless she gives up her practice). Her family insists that her poor health is caused by the torture in the labor camp rather than her practicing, so the family has refused to do what the wardens want.
Li Xiuhong, 35, is a practitioner from Tonghua in Jilin Province. She was arrested at around 4:00 p.m. on April 23, 2008, by two officers from Jiangshang Police Station in the Erdao District, and her home was searched. On June 10, she was taken to Heizuizi Women's Forced Labor Camp.
On the morning after she arrived at the labor camp, she tried to practice the exercises but was stopped by the wardens and was shocked with five electric batons simultaneously for that entire day. The brutal torture injured her physically and mentally, and she was on the verge of death.
The following month, the wardens hung her by her handcuffs for 12 hours each day and tied her to the bed for another 12 hours at night. One month later, her health had declined, but the wardens still left her tied up around the clock, and this torture has continued to this day.
Because she is tied up, others have to feed her and empty her chamber pot. She even has to depend on others to change her menstrual pads. She has also not been allowed to bathe, which creates a foul odor.
In November 2008, her family was told by Yan, the head of the group, about the condition that Li Xiuhong was in and that she would become disabled if the tie-up torture continued, because she had been tortured in that manner for more than six months.
On January 19, 2009, when the family saw her in the labor camp, Ms. Li was extremely weak and barely able to stand. The family reported her situation to Ma and Tian, the directors of the labor camp. In early February 2009, the wardens of Li Xiuhong's group informed the family that she was very skinny, that she was only able to consume one meal per day, and that they were about to force-feed her.
According to the regulations for forced labor camps in China, electric batons and long-term tie-ups are forbidden except for inmates involved in prison breaks or other serious matters. The persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners at the Heizuizi Women's Forced Labor Camp is brutal and inhumane and shows a disrespect for life and the law. Li Xiuhong is one of thousands of practitioners tortured in labor camps as a result of the Chinese Communist Party's policy of persecution of Falun Dafa.
We call for international human rights organizations to speak out and urge the Chinese Communist regime to stop the persecution of Li Xiuhong and release her immediately without conditions. We also hope that righteous people will help stop the persecution taking place in Heizuizi Women's Forced Labor Camp. We want to inform those in charge at the labor camp that they will soon have to pay for their criminal behavior. We would also like those who know more details about the labor camp's persecution tactics to join us in exposing the criminal behavior.
