【新唐人2012年12月27日訊】美國的《俄勒岡人報》12月23號報導了這樣一個故事,一個價值29.99美元的墳墓玩具包,給俄勒岡居民朱麗葉•凱斯帶來了一個意想不到的萬聖節。在人造骨骼,泡沫墓石和蜘蛛網之間,凱斯發現了一封來自中國勞教所的求救信。信中發出真正令人驚悚和震撼的一聲呼救。
這封英語夾雜著中文詞彙的信沒有署名,信一開頭就請求:「先生:如果你偶然間購買了這個產品,請幫忙轉送這封信給世界人權組織。這裡處在中共政府迫害之下的數千人將永遠感謝並記住您。」
信中說,這個墳墓包是在瀋陽馬三家勞教所二所八大隊製造的。那裏的人被迫一天工作15小時,沒有節假日,動不動就遭到酷刑折磨,打罵體罰虐待,而且幾乎沒有收入。
信裏最後一段說,那裏關押的都是被非法判刑1到3年的人,其中很多是法輪功學員,他們遭受比其他人更多的懲罰。
震驚的凱特把信的原件放上了臉書,開始傳遞這個求救的消息。故事被美國奧勒岡州主要報紙《俄勒岡人報》(The Oregonian)報導後,聯邦移民海關執法局(ICE)下屬的國土安全調查部門,已經啟動對這個案件的調查。
為求證信中提到的馬三家勞教所到底是一個怎樣的地方,《新唐人》特別採訪了幾位曾經被馬三家勞教所關押,後來輾轉來到海外的法輪功學員。
曾被馬三家勞教所關押的法輪功學員 代麗國:「我是99年被送往馬三家被迫害的,它做那個手工藝都是出口的,它那個手工藝品,都是各種塑化的,它還有毒。我們做的是聖誕節的,還有編織毛衣。從早上5點起床,一直到晚上11點。」
曾被馬三家勞教所關押的法輪功學員 郭玉君:「除了讓你上厠所可以站起來,剩下整天都是坐著,就給他加工那些活,因爲那個時候活也很多。沒有休息日的,而且吃的也不讓你吃好的,但是我們是沒有得到錢的。」
除了被長時間奴役勞動,法輪功學員們因爲不願意放棄信仰,被馬三家勞教所加倍迫害。
曾被馬三家勞教所關押的法輪功學員 亞輝:「我在五分隊的話,有法輪功學員沒有轉化的,被迫害的很嚴重的,他那個手已經被大刑上了,手銬銬了多少天,那個筋已經沒有知覺了,沒有勞動能力,但是每天也要被逼著出去,他們還讓抬那種幾十公斤重的麻袋。」
郭玉君:「那有一個叫鄭桂容(音)的,她現在迫害死了。因爲她不轉化,白天就懲罰她,做她轉化工作,晚上就讓她加班縫毛衣,有的時候一宿不讓她睡覺。」
這幾位法輪功學員都說,被關押期間,她們被切斷和外界的聯繫,一旦試圖求救被發現的話,求救者會受到嚴厲的懲罰,甚至從此下落不明。
這些迫害,馬三家勞教所並不是個案,北京和長春等地的法輪功學員都證實,他們被關押在調遣處和勞教所期間,都曾被強制做奴工,同時受到洗腦和酷刑,一旦有人向外界求救,勞教所甚至用「連坐」的方式,懲罰所有被迫勞動的人。
原長春市索佳科貿有限公司經理 受迫害法輪功學員 常世革:「他們真的是在那裏頭已經遭到了讓人無法忍受的痛苦,所以才會用這種不是辦法的辦法來求救。既然國際社會已經曝光了,勞教所可能也會徹查這件事情。我希望海外的正義人士,媒體,組織都站出來,制止這場迫害。」
美國法典第1,307節19條,禁止進口「來自外國罪犯勞動,強迫勞動和(或)契約勞工」的產品。出售這個產品的Kmart公司的母公司「西爾斯控股公司」發表聲明說,他們將調查這個案件,一旦發現中國合作公司使用強迫勞動,將終止合同。

An SOS Letter in a Halloween Decoration Kit
December 23, The Oregonian reported a graveyard kit worth
US $29.99 brought surprise to an Oregon lady, Julie Keith.
Among artificial skeletons, tombstones and spider webs,
Keith found a plea letter from the Chinese labor camp.
The letter issued a thrilling and shocking cry for help.
This letter of Chinese mixed with English bore no signature.
It read, “Sir: If you occasionally buy this product, please
kindly resend this letter to the World Human Right Organization.
Thousands people here who are under the persecution
of the Chinese Communist Party Government will thank and remember you forever."
The graveyard kit, the letter read, was made in unit 8,
department 2 of the Masanjia Labor Camp in Shenyang, China.
“People who work here have to work 15 hours a day
without Saturday, Sunday break and any holidays.
Otherwise, they will suffer torturement,
beat and rude remark. Nearly no payment."
The last paragraph of the letter read,"People who work here,
suffer punishment 1-3 years averagely,"
“Many of them are Falun Gong practitioners…
They often suffer more punishment than others."
Shocked, Keith posted this letter to Facebook and
spread this plea for help.
The Oregonian wrote,"After the Oregonian informed
the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement about
the letter, ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations
began looking into the case."
What’s Masanjia like?
NTD Television interviewed a few overseas Falun Gong
practitioners who were previously detained in Masanjia Labor Camp for practicing Falun Gong.
Falun Gong practitioner Dei Liguo: “I was persecuted
in Masanjia in 1999.
They produce handicrafts for export.
All handicrafts are plasticized and toxic.
We made products for Christmas, we also knitted
sweaters from 5 in the morning to 11pm."
Falun Gong practitioner Guo Yujun:
“You were only allowed to stand up to use the toilet.
You sat for rest of the day.
We worked over time, there was tons of work.
There was no weekend or break.
The food, if any, was not good.
We did not get any money."
In addition to over time slavery, Falun Gong practitioners
suffer doubling the persecution in Masanjia labor camp for unwilling to renounce their faith.
Falun Gong practitioner Ya Hui: “I was in unit 5.
There was a Falun Gong practitioner who refused to transform.
He was very seriously persecuted.
His hands were so cruelly tortured by handcuffs for days
that tendons had no feeling and he could not work any more.
But he was still forced to carry sacks weighing over
several dozens of kilograms everyday."
Guo Yujun: “A lady with a name that sounded like
Zheng Guirong died of persecution.
Because she would not convert, they punished her
by conducting transformation work on her during the day and had her stitch sweaters overtime at night.
Sometimes she was not allowed to sleep for the whole night."
These Falun Gong practitioners all indicated that during
detention, contact to the outside was completely cut off.
Once the intent to seek for help is found out about,
the help seeker is severely punished, and some even disappear.
These persecutions in Masanjia labor camp
were not isolated cases.
Falun Gong practitioners from Beijing and Changchun
confirmed that slave labor, brainwashing and cruel torture also took place in other labor camps and during detention.
Once the intent to seek help was revealed,
the labor camp would even punish everyone in the camp.
Chang Shige, a persecuted Falun Gong Practitioner
from Changchun City: “They have endured such intolerable pain and this unbelievable approach was thus taken.
Now it’s exposed to the international community,
the forced labor camp may have also started a thorough investigation into this matter.
I hope the righteous people, overseas media and
organizations will all stand up to stop the persecution."
The Oregonian reported,"Title 19, section 1307 of U.S.
Code generally prohibits the importation of all items ‘mined,
produced or manufactured’in any foreign country
by convict labor, forced labor and/or indentured labor."
Sears Holdings Corporation, which operates Kmart,
the company that sold the kit,
stated in a release that business termination will result
if use of forced labor is confirmed upon investigation.
