[Hebei] Recent Situations from the ShiJiaZhuang Women Labor Camp (the Fourth Labor Team)

Around the May 1st Holiday, some male police had beaten up detained practitioners for practicing Falun Gong. The police would beat up whoever tried to continue to practice Falun Gong. The practitioners' bottoms were bruised and lacerated so that they could neither sit nor lie down. They could only lie face down.á

Qiao Yunxia, a practitioner from Xingtai, got the most beatings, because she always took the lead to practice Falun Gong and go on hunger strike. One time, because of practicing Falun Gong, she was so tightly tied up with a police rope that the rope cut into her flesh. She continued to practice Falun Gong after she was untied.á

Xu Xiuzhi, from Baoding, 33 years old, had successfully unfurled Falun Dafa banners 6 times at the Tiananmen Square. She was directly sent here for the forced-labor education.

Zhao Xueping tried to continue to practice Falun Gong and was tortured to lose her consciousness afterwards by the police. She was then carried into her cell by other practitioners. After she regained her consciousness, she said, "How come I am here?" She forgot how she got in. However, Later when she practiced Falun Gong, nobody came to bother her.

In order to prevent practitioners from practicing Falun Gong, the labor camp arranged for two criminals to monitor one practitioner, even when the practitioner went to the restroom. Some practitioners promoted Dafa to the criminals and moved them to such an extent: when practitioners practiced Falun Gong, the criminals who were responsible for monitoring them would also follow them to practice Falun Gong; when the practitioners went on hunger strike, the criminals would also abstain from food to follow the practitioners. Sometimes, the criminals would reminder the practitioners, "it is time to practice Falun Gong."á

Those guards who the criminals were so scared of appeared so pitiful in the eyes of practitioners. One time, practitioners went to talk to the officials of the labor camp who were responsible for "educating" them, "We dare to appeal to the government to tell the truth. Do you dare? You could only deceive your supervisors and delude your subordinates. We behave ourselves nobly and openly. It is you who stick to a wrong course. If you continue to be like this, you will be genuinely eliminated." The officials had nothing to say but went away.

Now the practitioners' deeds have been changing the environment gradually. Since now that the labor camp adopts the 8-hour working a day, practitioners could take a rest during the weekends. They would not be bothered when learning the books of Falun Dafa. They no longer worked endlessly like before. Many practitioners wrote letters of appeal to request release so that they could continue defending Dafa outside.

Recently, some former practitioners who had formerly gone opposed to Dafa went to Beijing.á

Moreover, some practitioners in Beijing found out that some people has been lurking among practitioners to do damages by taking advantage of the practitioners' mentality for defending Dafa.
