Over-zealous Work Unit Sets Up Its Own Jail for Practitioners

Oct. 20, 2000

Last November, I was detained for one month by the police department in Qingzhou City and then illegally detained by my work-unit because I went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. In February of this year, my work unit illegally established a "Compulsory Transformation Confinement". The work unit leaders assigned special personnel to control this center and allowed them to fire anyone if they identified that he/she had any problems or issues related to Falun Gong.

I escaped from their control one night and went to Beijing to defend Dafa again. I was arrested and sent to the police department in Qingzhou. They shackled my hands and hung me from a tree branch so that my feet could barely touch the ground and all the weight of my body rested on my hands and shoulders. After three hours of hanging, my hands became swollen like steamed bread. After one month's detention, I was detained for another month in "Compulsory Transformation Confinement" by my work unit. Later, when I went on hunger strike, they carried out orders from "higher officers": forced-feeding by inserting a tube into my nose, tying me to the bed all day long and not untying me even when I had to use the bathroom.

On June 16 this year, I was illegally detained by my work unit again. To protest their illegal conduct, I broke the window and used some broken glass to cut my wrist. Under such circumstances, my work unit closely kept the information secret, fooling other workers and did not allow my family to visit me. They transferred me to three other locations because they were afraid that my mother and sister would find out about my situation. Later, the City government praised my work unit for what they have done to me.
