6. [Shenyang City, Liaoning Province] Facts of the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp's Persecution of Practitioners

I am a Falun Dafa practitioner who was released from the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp several months ago. I saw with my own eyes the darkest side of this vicious place, and would like to expose how Dafa practitioners are brutally tortured there.

During every year-end, the policemen at the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp increase their torture to try to "transform" Dafa practitioners who refuse to give up their belief. They summon police officers from various areas (Benxi City, Fushun City, and Dalian City) to torture practitioners. Practitioners are forced to fold their legs, which are then tied in that position. They are handcuffed in a "forced backbend" position [This is a very painful form of torture in which one arm is reaching down the back behind the head and the other hand meets it from the lower back. The two hands are then cuffed together causing unbearable pain.] They are forced to stand, squat and are hung up in the air for long periods of time. All the division directors are very cruel, especially Director Wang Xiaofeng, Assistant Director Wang Suzhen of Division One, and Subdivision Directors Ren Hongzhan, Huang Haiyan, Xu Feng, Shi Yu, Zhang Chunguang, and Cui Hong. They ferociously beat practitioners. Many practitioners are tortured to the brink of death. Those who still refuse to give up their belief in "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance," are placed in solitary confinement in a small room located on the top floor. Practitioners are handcuffed and shackled on the iron bench in the room. They are given only two steamed buns per day and allowed to use the restroom twice a day.

Many practitioners are injured, crippled or suffer a mental collapse from the torture. In the winter of 2002, a woman named Huang Guifen, about 50 years old was "transformed" after suffering from severe torture. She later regretted her decision. Director Xue Feng led a group of policemen to hang her up in the air and beat her with a leather belt, which left her arms crippled. In order to prevent her family from finding out what happened to her, they disallowed them to visit. She was placed in a small, dark room on the first floor. That was the last that I heard of her, and do not know of her current situation..

7. [Changchun City, Jilin Province] Practitioners Liu Wen and Wang Jingbo Are Tortured at the Chaoyanggou Forced Labor Camp

Mr. Liu Wen was detained at the Second Division of the Chaoyanggou Forced Labor Camp in Changchun City, Jilin Province. As a result of the ill treatment he received in the labor camp, he was diagnosed with tuberculosis over a year ago. Recently, his tuberculosis reached an advanced stage. When his family went to visit him, he was wearing a mask, and needed to be carried out by another person. Although his family has repeatedly requested his release, the labor camp will not to release him because Liu refuses to write a Repentance Statement.

Mr. Wang Jingbo was detained at the Fifth Division. He has been suffering from scabies due to the torture he has endured in the labor camp. His entire body is covered with canker sores, and he can hardly walk. Even when he was in this condition, the policemen still beat him ruthlessly, saying that he walked to slow. His family found out about his condition and has repeatedly appealed to the higher authorities, requesting his immediate release and punishment of the perpetrators. At last, the Head and the Commissioner of the labor camp apologized to his family, but refused to release him. Wang Jingbo has now lost the ability to walk.

8. [Jilin Province] Practitioner Wu Keli is Deformed by Torture at the Jilin Second Prison

11. [Laixi City, Shandong Province] Facts of the Persecution of Practitioner Pang Xueying

Ms. Pang Xueying, from Nanshankou Village, Malianzhuang Town, Laixi City, Shandong Province, is 63 years old.

In the winter of 2000, Pang Xueying and seven other practitioners took a bus to Beijing to appeal to high-level authorities on behalf of Dafa. When the bus arrived at Zhanhua County, a government official named Dong Shaokao and a policeman arrested and detained all of them at the Zhanhua Police Station. Later they were taken back to Malianzhuang Town, where they were put in one room with other detained practitioners, totaling over a dozen, and were monitored 24 hours a day. They didn't have any food to eat. One day, they were forced to stand outside in the yard for the whole afternoon. Fourteen days later, Pang Xueying was released only after her son paid the authorities 700 yuan.

In June 2001, Pang Xueying and another practitioner went to Wujiacaobo and Xujiancaobo to hand out truth-clarification materials and hang up banners that read "Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance." They were arrested by the police and sent to the local government. Their homes were illegally searched, and many Dafa books, exercise tapes, and Teacher's Dalian Lecture tapes were confiscated.

The next day, they were sent to the Dashan Detention Center in Qingdao. They were detained there for over a month. Shortly after their release, truth-clarifying materials were found in their village. The police suspected them of handing them out and arrested them again. They were sent directly to Wangcun Forced Labor Camp in Zibo City. A physical examination showed that Pang Xuying had a stomach disease, so the labor camp didn't accept her. The policeman however, told her that she had been sentenced to three years of forced labor and that she would be forced to work hard. Pang Xueying was detained there for 40 days. Only after Pang Xueying's son spent 200 yuan buying dinner for certain authorities did they release her.

During the Spring Festival in 2002, Pang Xueying went to her son's for the holiday. When she returned home, she discovered that the police had been there and had confiscated her Dafa books.

When Zhao Haiying's 12-year-old daughter, Zhao Borong, came home from school for lunch, the policemen took her to the Xinhua Street Police Station and later the Huadian City Police Department. After the police failed to deceive her into cooperating with them, they then sent her to her grandmother's house. The 12-year-old child was heartbroken to see her mother taken away from her.
