Practitioners Assaulted in Suihua Forced Labor Camp

July 2, 2008

(Clearwisdom.net) Suihua Forced Labor Camp in Heilongjiang Province has been classified as a "Model Forced Labor Camp" by the Communist regime. It is a dark, evil place where Falun Gong practitioners are persecuted. There are about two hundred people incarcerated there, of which more than seventy are practitioners. They are spread out amongst 5 groups of prisoners.

On April 11, 2008, the practitioners who were transferred from Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp to Suihua Forced Labor Camp were made to sign "guarantee letters" on the night of their transfer. Liu Jingzhou was forced to take off all his clothes and was badly beaten up by the guards who used rubber batons on him. In the end, the rubber batons were used with such force and for so long, that they were broken. The guards then alternatively splashed cold water and hot water on Wu Hongzhu. Next they wrapped a plastic bag over his head. Finally, Wang Haiyan was hung up.

At the end of April, the practitioners that had signed the guarantee letters sent a letter to the labor camp to renounce the guarantee letters. Jiang Weimin was beaten up as a result.

The guards compel practitioners to sing CCP songs and if they refuse, the practitioners are beaten up. As a result Wang Chunyu and Jiang Weimin were beaten up. For refusing to sing, Zhang Xilai was hung up in such a way that only his toes were in contact with the ground. To increase his pain, they hung a pail of water on his neck and they tortured him this way for two hours.

The guards even refused to let the practitioners talk amongst themselves. They did not allow the family members to bring supplies to the practitioners. They refuse to investigate if any of the criminal inmates physically assault the practitioners. On May 27, criminal Zhang Shenzhu knocked three teeth out of practitioner Cui Jinggui's head, but the warden refused to look into the matter.

In addition, the warden is withholding all the news and will not allow the practitioners to know about the happenings in the outside world.
