Even the Guards Call Guangdong Sanshui Women's Labour Camp a "Hell on Earth"

Guangdong Sanshui Women's Labour Camp is a place that even the guards call a "hell on earth." The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has the guards adopt all kinds of horrible and vicious methods, such as instigating criminals to abuse Dafa practitioners, not allowing sleep or toilet visits, and forcing practitioners to squat for unbearably long periods of time.

Sanshui Women's Labour Camp detains and persecutes practitioners and this information is not allowed to get out. Practitioners' letters to leaders of the labour camp are monitored strictly. When they do write, they are punished and their prison terms are extended. The letters sent out are checked to prevent them from expressing any dissatisfaction. Only letters praising the labour camp are allowed to be sent out. Letters coming in are also checked. For example, a letter about the death of the father of Fang Yi, a college physical education teacher, was held for two months.

When some practitioners told the wardens of the labour camp that forbidding sleep is violating the law, they answered, "How many people behave according to the law?" The police convict a person based on their thoughts: they deduct people's score and extend people's prison term if they are found to have "incorrect thoughts." They also extend a person's term based on false accusations. If practitioners refuse to be "transformed¹" at the end of their term, the guards take them to a brainwashing session to continue the persecution. If they still refuse to be "transformed," the guards take them back to labour camp again. This cycle of persecution goes on and on. Many people have developed disordered internal secretion. Some cannot bear the pain and cry loudly. Even the guards say this is a "hell on earth."

The practitioners have resisted the persecution. Because one practitioner refused to be "transformed," she was forced to keep her eyes open for one month. As soon as she closed her eyes, the persecutors pierced her eyelids and beat her. But she remained steadfast. She even developed the ability to sleep with her eyes open, which made them abort their plans to "transform" her, and the leader was replaced. The notorious former leader Sun was replaced by a slightly better person named Yang.

Now there are dozens of practitioners detained in Sanshui Women's Labour Camp Team No. 3, including:

Huang Wanxian, 28 years old, graduated from Central Arts College, from Fujian, was seized in Shenzhen, and sent to a labour camp in 2004 for three years.

Zhang Lijie, 39 years old, has an 8-year-old son. She taught English in college and later in civil aviation. She was sent to labour camp in May 2004 for three years.

Xue Aimei, 37 years old, from Nanshan, Shenzhen, studied finance and accounting in the U.S. In order to resist the persecution and "transformation," she has been on a hunger strike many times. Now she is detained in Group Three. The labour camp has detained her for three years, and her term has been extended for another three years.

Tian Huiying, 50 years old, from the Guangdong countryside, has been sentenced to a labour camp for two years. She has three children; the oldest is 14 years old. She was beaten black and blue by lawless wardens. She suffered a mental collapse and was detained in solitary confinement.

Wu Dongping is 50 years old, was formerly the principal of a kindergarten, and was sentenced to three years in a labour camp.

Chen Yandan was arrested when her baby was one year old. She was arrested in Baoan or Dongguan and sentenced to two years in a labour camp.

He Jiaoti, 20 years old, is the youngest person in the labour camp. She has no money. She did not even have any toilet paper. Guards do not allow others give her any. She was detained in small cell for writing a "solemn declaration" stating that she would resume the practice of Falun Dafa.
