In contrast to the volunteers' kindness to prisoners of war, the U.S. military has committed numerous crimes of mistreating volunteers in the Korean War. Many neutral military photojournalists have witnessed first-hand how the Volunteers have strictly abided by the Geneva Convention on Prisoners of War and given preferential treatment to prisoners; they have also witnessed the brutality of US imperialism in taking revenge and treating our captives with beatings, heartshots, ears cutting, and even hanging!
The so-called United Nations forces of the 16 countries led by the United States have seriously violated the Geneva Prisoners of War Convention, brutally persecuting the captured volunteers, forcing them to perform manual labor, and forcing them to listen to the "words" of the US agent Chiang Kai-shek.
At the meeting, the spies stipulated that everyone should memorize the "precepts" and repeat the contents of the "precepts," and that if they were wrong, they would be beaten and injured; the agents forced them to write "blood books" again and again, taking the captured personnel into the secret service's interrogation room one by one, cutting the fingers of each person's left hand with a blade, and then dipping the blood flowing out with a brush, and then forcing them to hit their own handprints with their right hands.
After wu chengde, director of the political department of the 180th division of our volunteer army, was captured, he was tortured to the bone by them, he was only in his 30s at the time, but due to the inhuman abuse of the American side, his hair fell out in half. Agent Jiang of the United States once installed two loudspeakers in the cell where he was held in solitude, and shouted in the loudspeakers every day: "Wu Chengde, quickly confess." "He was kept awake day and night, and he was tortured. A captured volunteer named Li Wei asked at a seminar organized by the secret service: "You say that the United States is not an aggressor, so why is the United States still occupying our Taiwan?" Because of this sentence, the agents dragged him to the torture room on the spot and beat him to death.
A captured man named Ma Zhitang, after a discussion, quietly said to one of his fellow victims that "he can no longer bear this crime", and the agents immediately beat him up when they heard it, and the next morning, everyone found that Ma Zhitang had been hanged in the toilet by the agent. In a prisoner-of-war camp in the United States, there were more than 5,000 volunteers captured, and in less than a year, more than 100 were brutally killed by the enemy by various methods. In order to conduct medical experiments, the United States also dissected our captives as animals. Some of our wounded and sick prisoners, before they could breathe, were dug out of their hearts and livers by the enemy, or peeled off pieces of skin for experimentation, and then swept up the bloodied corpses with grass and thrown into the ravines.
Shortly after the signing of the Korean armistice, the two sides exchanged prisoners of war. When our captives crossed the Panmunjom walkbridge, they took off all the clothes, shoes and socks issued to them by the United States and threw them under the bridge, wearing only a pair of shorts and bare-chested. They said: "We suffered so much from these dog bastards in the prisoner of war camp that we only sent everyone a new set of clothes before we came back, trying to tell us to save face for them."
General Du Ping (front left), director of the Political Department of the Volunteer Army, greeted the return of our captives at the reception station: "You have finally returned to the embrace of the motherland, and the motherland cares for you like a mother, and I hope that you will rest well and take care of your health."
After returning from the captive volunteers, they were warmly welcomed by the actors of the Yue Opera Troupe of the General Political And Labor Troupe.
The captives of the volunteer army said excitedly: "We have finally returned to the arms of the great motherland that we miss day and night."
The repatriated Korean People's Army prisoners and wounded were cordially cared for by our personnel.
In order to hear the complaints of our prisoners who returned, we specially set up a tent near the receiving station for reporters to listen to the complaints, so that the prisoners who suffered the most were poured out of their stomachs with bitter water, so that the atrocities of the United States abusing prisoners of war would face the trial of fair public opinion in the world. This is the case of the returned captives facing famous journalists around the world, accusing US imperialism of forcibly detaining the captives of the volunteer army to betray the motherland, and the American agents tattooing reactionary slogans on them.
The captured man, Song Zhongming, complained to neutral state functionaries and Chinese and foreign journalists about exposing the heinous crimes of US imperialism.
When the volunteers returned, they held shoes in their left hands and recounted their skilful struggles with the enemy in the American prisoner-of-war camps.
At the risk of their lives, our captured personnel covered the reactionary slogans tattooed by the enemy and tattooed the words "Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea."
Zhao Qingshan, a captured member of the Volunteer Army, was resolutely demanding to return to his motherland in a PRISONER-of-war camp in the United States, and the enemy cut off his right ear. On September 26, 1953, he broke through the control of the secret service and returned to the embrace of his homeland.
The blindfolded Korean People's Army prisoner named Kim In-won (front left) was gouged out by the U.S. military, which is ironclad evidence of the enemy's mistreatment of our prisoners of war.
Alain Weinington (second from left), a reporter for the British "Workers' Daily" and Bechadi (front left), a reporter for the French newspaper "Humane", visited Hu Zuyin (first from right), a captured member of the Volunteer Army, and others, and the enemy cut off their limbs because they had minor injuries. Journalists have exposed the inhumane crimes of US imperialism to the world
