A Prisoner's Testimony: Division Leaders Forced Us to Persecute Falun Gong Practitioners
2008-04-16
I was sentenced to a Shandong Province Forced Labour Camp. Under orders from guards I participated in the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. Certain other inmates and I used different ways to persecute the practitioners, including having them face a wall for a long time, beating and kicking them, as well as beating them with batons. For doing this, guard Sun Fengjun promised to reduce our terms. So whatever they ordered us to do, we did it. If we did not follow their orders, they would beat us and extend our terms. All the persecution that happened to the Falun Gong practitioners was according to orders from the division leaders. We know that Falun Gong practitioners are good people. -

Exposing the Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners in Shandong Province No. 1 Women's Forced Labour Camp
2008-04-09From my own experience, I knew that imprisonment in a forced labour camp was just like entering a demon's den. Besides insolent guards, there were one or two inmates assigned to monitor and torture practitioners. The inmates cooperated with the guards to carry-out brainwashing, involving instilled falsehoods and absurdities, in attempts to force practitioners to "reform." If these measures were counter productive, the guards would strike out by themselves. For example, division head Sun Juan would kick the older practitioners' naked calves with her shoes on. If you asked, "Isn't beating people not allowed here?" She would answer flagrantly, "Is this beating you? What I did was to educate you." She often declared openly and shamelessly, "We often denigrate you practitioners or even beat you. Why don't we do the same thing to passers-by on the street or others but only to you? It is because we love you." -

In this building there are iron chair torture apparatus, thick, double-layer curtains, and several separate rooms. Five of the persecutors put Ms. Li in an iron chair and restrained her hands behind her back. They force-fed her about 500g of liquor and a bottle of mustard oil. They also put lit cigars into her nostrils and tried to force her to smoke. They did this several times, so Ms. Li was force-fed nearly 1,000g of liquor and one and a half bottles of mustard oil. Her mouth was tied tightly with a towel, causing her lips and mouth to crack and break. -

WOIPFG: An Investigative Report on the Persecution of Falun Gong by the Chinese Communist Regime Under the Banner of Preparing for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games
2008-04-08One year before the Beijing Olympics, the Chinese Communist regime has intensified its persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. Based on official documents from Chinese authorities and reports from persecuted victims, the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG) has gathered ample evidence to show that the Chinese Communist regime never intended to improve its human rights practices by hosting the 2008 Olympics. The regime has actually taken advantage of the Beijing Olympics and used it as a justification to further persecute Falun Gong. -
Practitioners Forced to Undergo Brainwashing and Monitoring in Guigang District, Guangxi Province
2008-04-07Practitioners were forced to view videos that slandered Falun Gong. There were over 100 such videos and a book that defamed Falun Gong. The police also searched practitioners' homes for Falun Gong books, materials and their sources, destinations where the materials were sent, those who taught Falun Gong, whom they practised with, and those who still practised Falun Gong. Each practitioner was monitored by two people. Practitioners' places of employment had to provide money and people to watch these practitioners. It is said that the cost of monitoring one person is ten thousand yuan. If the workplace could not provide people, the 610 Office would do it. They recorded every detail of practitioners' daily lives. They went wherever the practitioners went. Practitioners were not allowed to contact anyone outside of this military camp. -

They unjustifiably denied Ms. Teng's family their visiting privileges many times. They didn't dare to make the trial public. They didn't directly notify her family when the trial began or reveal who was in charge of the trial. Furthermore, they provided a fake schedule of the trial to her family. -
Mr. Wang Zenghu from Dingzhou City, Hebei Province Unjustly Held at Suning Detention Centre
2008-04-06On February 25th, 2008, Mr. Wang Zenghu, a Falun Gong practitioner, was reported to the police for distributing CDs exposing the persecution of Falun Gong. In March 2002 police officers had ransacked an internet cafe that Mr. Wang Zenghu and his friends invested 160,000 yuan in. Their reason was that while it was being monitored, there were some people browsing the Clearwisdom.net [a Falun Gong website]. The police asked them which computer was used to browse Clearwisdom, and they couldn't answer, so the police took away twenty-six computers. In April 2003, the police demanded 10,000 yuan as a fine before they would return the computers. One computer's hardware was stolen, and there was a brick left in the machine instead. Since computers are upgrading very fast, the returned computers were like garbage by the time they were returned, leading to the closing of their business. -
