  • Cases of Persecution at Masanjia Forced Labour Camp in Liaoning Province

    In 2005, as a protest, some Falun Dafa practitioners refused to perform forced labour and stayed in bed. Guards dragged them from their beds by their hair. If practitioners refuse to wear the prison uniform (because they are not criminals), they are punished by not being allowed to use the toilet. The following practitioners were punished for various breaches of prison regulations: Ms. Wang Hong was locked in a toilet until 1:00 a.m.; Ms. Wang Shulan, Ms. Liu Huarong, and Ms. Liu Guifang were beaten by police because they refused to wear the prison uniform. Several practitioners went on hunger strikes in protest. They were barbarically force-fed.

That very evening, she was taken against her will by the Shanghai State Security police. As early as September 2002, when police in Shanghai arrested Mr. Qu Yanlai, the Shanghai State Security police had intended to arrest Ms. Qu Yanyan, and colluded with Daqing City police to implement the plan. But beforehand some people exposed the plan to a member of Ms. Qu Yanyan's family, and her relative paid a large sum of money to Daqing City police to make them drop the plan.

  • Fifteen Common Methods of Torture Used at Xinhua Forced Labour Camp in Mianyang City, Sichuan Province

    One morning in April 2001, several other practitioners and I were studying the Falun Dafa teachings, sitting on the floor of a small classroom. I was reciting the teachings to them.

On the morning of April 9th, Zhu's mother, brother and sister-in-laws went to Baimalong Forced Labour Camp to visit her. Ms. Zhu came out with other people's support and was not able to walk by herself. There were bruises all over Ms. Zhu's head, hands, wrists, elbows, knees and legs. She was so emaciated that she was a bag of bones. Seeing her daughter like this, her mother couldn't help crying. A policeman in the reception room came forward to stop her mother because family members are not allowed to cry. But Ms. Zhu's mother still couldn't help her tears.
  • Ways That Benxi Forced Labour Camp in Liaoning Province Persecuted Falun Gong Practitioners, Both Physically and Mentally

    When the authorities realised that their attacks and verbal abuses of Dafa and the propaganda for the Communist Party had no effect on practitioners, they tricked their family members into coming to the camp and used them to try to influence the practitioners. The husbands, wives, children, parents, brothers, or sisters of the practitioner came to the camp and wept, complaining about their being abandoned by the practitioners. Sometimes the managers of the practitioner's company or his friends came and said that practitioners were being selfish, caring about only their own cultivation and not about their families. Who exactly broke up numerous families and caused family members to be separated or die? Was it not caused by the Party's persecution of these good people, who adhere to the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance?"

    On February 9th, seven policemen, went to Huang Jinling's home, arrested her, and searched her home without any legal permission. On March 21st, when Huang Jinling's sister visited her, Huang Jinling told her how she was tortured from March 5th to March 8th. She was tied to a metal chair for four days in the National Security Division. Her hands and feet were swollen from being tied for so long. The skin on her buttocks peeled off. It was at the end of her one-month detention. Why did they need to interrogate her with force? Apparently the arrest of Huang Jinling was revenge.
  • Eight Middle-Aged and Elderly Women Arrested for Practising Falun Gong Exercises in Private Home

  • Crimes Committed in the Second Forced Labour Camp in Shandong Province

    All practitioners sent to the camp are first subjected to forced brainwashing. The police guards force practitioners to watch videos slandering Dafa in an attempt to influence practitioners to give up their belief in "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance" and to write the so-called "guarantee statements" to renounce their belief. If practitioners refuse to cooperate, the police immediately exploit a variety of torture methods. They beat practitioners fiercely, force-feed them, hammer bamboo sticks under their fingernails, hang them in the "cross" position, put them on the death bed, deprive them of sleep, and pinch their flesh using metal clamps. The police invented the "metal clamp pinching" torture method on their own. I have personally witnessed how this cruel method caused practitioners excruciating pain.
