Practitioners Brutally Treated at Shuangkou Forced Labor Camp in Tianjin City

Feb. 17, 2006 |   By a Falun Dafa practitioner from Mainland China

(Clearwisdom.net) The Shuangkou Forced Labor Camp of Tianjin City brutally persecutes and enslaves illegally detained Falun Dafa practitioners. Each division of the forced labor camp extends labor hours from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. or midnight, and those practitioners who fail to work fast enough often have to work continuously for seven to ten days without a break. Every night they only get two to three hours of sleep.

In each division, there are some practitioners who refused to write the so-called "homework" or "exposing and criticism." The forced labor camp applied "Strict Monitoring" and ordered the "Personal Cangues" (persons designated to supervise practitioners' behavior) to follow these practitioners all day long. Practitioner Mr. Ma Jian has been on a hunger strike to protest the persecution. He has been on the hunger strike for almost seven months.

Following the order from the education staff of the second division, Zheng Junhong (male, police badge number 1224075), police officers Li Hua (male, badge number 1224214) and Meng Zhaosheng (male, badge number 1224100) used electric batons to beat practitioner Mr. Chang Tianxiang, with the purpose of forcing him to work longer hours.

Practitioner Mr. Yan Junling, held in the second division, was diagnosed as having hepatitis, with jaundice and tuberculosis. The authorities refused to release him for medical treatment, neither did they isolate him away from other practitioners, totally disregarding other people's health.

Guard Wang Ju (male) brutally beat practitioner Mr. Feng Yaochen and broke the bridge of his nose, but did not allow him any medical treatment. The guards have already lost their human conscience.

Practitioner Mr. Zhang Guoqing from Wuqing District was arrested and taken to the Damengzhuan Police Station one night in December 2004. He was shackled to the basketball backboard for half a night, freezing cold. Then the chief of the police station, Dong Haifeng (male), ordered eight police officers to hold him down on the ground and tie his hands behind his back. Dong then used an electric baton to shock him. Mr. Zhang was taken to the first division of the Shuangkou Forced Labor Camp of Tianjin City, and later transferred to the third division that is designated for strictly monitoring Falun Dafa practitioners. Every day Mr. Zhang was forced to sit for twenty-two to twenty-four hours and was not allowed to sleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, he was beaten and kicked. He was forced to do strenuous labor until January 2006, when he was finally released.

On January 20, 2006, a day designated for visits in the second division of the forced labor camp, practitioner Li Donglian and another practitioner came to deliver Falun Dafa materials to a practitioner in the forced labor camp. They were reported by someone and were immediately arrested. The police found the materials after a body search.
