Masanjia Labor Camp

The Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC)’s hearing on April 14 on systematic torture commonly used in Communist China’s detention facilities was sobering and disturbing.

A Chinese female rights activist said police threatened to leave her in a male prisoners’ cells to be gang raped—not the first report of such abuse.

Around Christmastime 2012, a letter from a prisoner exposing abuses at Masanjia Labor Camp in China became an international sensation and also a mystery. Who wrote the moving letter? A new book tells the letter writer’s story.

The Masanjia Women’s Labor Camp was supposed to be closed down, but now it simply has two names.

A survivor of sexual abuse by gangs of male prisoners tells her story and reveals how the Chinese regime had set up a special cell block for tormenting women sexually.

Sexual abuse has been a constant part of the repertoire of tortures developed at Masanjia to force Falun Gong practitioners to give up their spiritual beliefs.

Chinese regime media outlets that are controlled by former Communist Party leader Jiang Zemin went into overdrive to deny the allegations published in Lens magazine of torture in Masanjia labor camp. An investigation would bring to light Ziang’s own involvement and sinister legacy related to Masanjia and other forced labor camps in China—more than 300 of them.

Falun Gong practitioners who suffered torture in the Masanjia Labor Camp in China’s Liaoning Province present evidence of the torture they suffered—rebutting official propaganda.

Communist authorities say they are investigating claims of torture at Masanjia Labor Camp, following media exposure, but the investigators are the ones who carried out the abuse.
