Huge Lies and Shocking Brutality - A Veteran Police Officer Speaks Out Against the Persecution

I'm a veteran police officer working in Lishui County, China. All these years, I've witnessed the handling of many Falun Gong cases. I have a deep impression of Falun Gong practitioners' tolerance, goodness, and righteousness, which from another perspective leaves me the strong feeling that a huge lie is deceiving the Chinese people. The persecution of Falun Gong made me realise the power of the truth of Falun Dafa. My numbed and unconcerned heart finally woke up. The righteous thoughts and righteous actions of Falun Gong practitioners aroused my conscience. After long and intense consideration, I have finally decided to tell people some facts that I know, so that people who have been deceived by the Party's one-sided propaganda might wake up and stop negating and persecuting Falun Dafa.

In June of 1999, Jiang Zemin and Luo Gan established the 610 Office, an organisation of terror that is above the Constitution and the law. This organisation isn't subject to legal constraints and assumed the privilege of directly manoeuvring the national administrative authorities, media agencies, state power and other Chinese Communist Party (CCP) terrorist mechanisms. Jiang personally plotted and made the persecutory Falun Gong edict, "ruin [practitioners'] their reputations, bankrupt them financially, and destroy them physically." He boasted, "I just don't believe that the Party can't beat Falun Gong!" and aimed to "eradicate Falun Gong in three months."

When everything was ready, on July 20th, 1999, the persecution of Falun Gong was launched nationwide. All radio stations, television stations and the press, more than 2,000 media under the control of the CCP went into high gear to slander and defame Falun Gong. Jiang and Luo used the most rigorous organisational structures to arrest Falun Gong practitioners. They implemented a tiered system of control: open arrests, secret abductions, home searches, fines, frame-ups, implication, work unit supervision. They rewarded reporters, used spies, wiretapping, brainwashing and other methods to threaten, suppress and control Falun Gong practitioners. They adopted cruel tortures, injections of dangerous drugs, intimidation and bribery, detention and interrogation, forced labour, unlawful sentencing, electric shocks, burning with red-hot metal rods, rape, piercing and other gross mental and physical abuses to torture Falun Gong practitioners, to force them to "reform" and publicly renounce their belief.

The following are facts about how the authorities from the "610 Office" in Lishui, Nanjing City have persecuted Falun Gong.

1. In 2000, when the "610 Office" held a brainwashing session in Donglu, they hung Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Liu to a girder for a whole day. Later they locked her in a small cage so that she could neither stand up nor sit down, but had to bend halfway inside. She was kept this way for several days.

They tried to violently brainwash female Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Wu. They shocked her on the abdomen with electric batons, tied her arms to a stick and forced her to be on her knees on the concrete floor outside the door. During scorching-hot days, they exposed her cruelly to the sun for the whole day, resulting in her losing her skin to sunburn. When they saw that Ms. Wu was still determined in practising Falun Gong, the "610 Office" authorities then abused her more viciously. They sent her to an insane asylum and injected her with anti-psychotic drugs. They ordered a doctor to pierce her mouth with a metal hook, making her mouth bleed incessantly. She didn't give up and so they continued to shock her. After that, they tied her up on the bed with her four limbs stretched out. They didn't let her go to the restroom, with the intention that she would die in bed. After one day they found that she hadn't died. They then crazily shocked her all over the body, which left multiple scars. Ms. Wu fell into coma several times. Her weight decreased from 140 jin [70kg] to about 80 jin [40kg]. The "610 Office" authorities were afraid that their evildoings would be exposed, they thus spread rumours that, "Wu is psychotic."

2. In December of 2000, Ms. Li was arrested for distributing factual materials about Falun Gong . Police officers handcuffed her behind her back and forced her to confess to the source of the materials. They kicked her to the ground and trampled on her face and chin, shouting, "Torturing to death is acceptable and can be counted as suicide."

In 2001, Ms. Li was arrested by persons from the "610 Office" and was sent to the Fenghuangjing Brainwashing Centre" in Honglan. The head of the "610 Office" ordered her to slander her Master and Falun Dafa. Ms. Li refused. They then beat her with a wooden club. When they were tired they then pinched her and pierced her with a needle. After that, they locked her in a water dungeon with water the depth of 20 centimetres. She had to relieve herself inside and was deprived of food and fluids. She was locked in there for two months.

3. In 2000, Ms. Peng was illegally detained for one month because she went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. In the summer of 2001, about ten police officers broke into her home to arrest her. Her husband asked them to show them proper documentation. The police officers didn't pay attention to him but tried to arrest Ms. Peng. Ms. Peng jumped down from the second floor. She broke her thighbone and ankle. When Ms. Peng was lying on the hospital sickbed, the police officers watched her all day long. When she returned home for recovery, the police officers often harassed her. Before she completely recovered, at about 12 p.m. one day in May 2001, the "610 Office" agents leading a group of policemen broke into her home. It was raining heavily. These persons rushed to Ms. Peng, pushed her on the ground, handcuffed her and dragged her into a police car. She did not even have her shoes on. Ms. Peng was sent to the police station that night. Later, she was sent to the Fenghuangjing Brainwashing Centre. She was locked in there for over one hundred days, which severely traumatised her, mentally and physically.

4. On March 4th, 2005, under orders from the "610 Office," more than twenty police officers arriving in four police cars broke into Mr. Zhu's home. Mr. Zhu was an over-50 year-old farmer in Donglu and was determined in practising Falun Gong. They forcibly arrested him and his wife Ms. Wang and sent them to the Fenghuangjing Brainwashing Centre. Since nobody harvested the rapeseed and wheat, Mr. Zhu's family suffered a heavy financial loss.

5. On March 13th, 2005, Ms. Jia, a 54-year-old Falun Gong practitioner, was arrested on her way to sell her produce. They sent her to a brainwashing centre and left her 2-year-old grandson at home by himself. The vegetables in her greenhouse were rotten because nobody took care of them.

6. On March 18th, 2005, Ms. Cao, a Falun Gong practitioner, about 40 years old, was arrested by agents from the "610 Office" when she was shopping. She was detained in a brainwashing centre for one month.

7. On March 30th, 2005, a Falun Gong practitioner, Ms. Wang, in her 70s and retired, was arrested on the street.

8. On April 22nd, 2005, six policemen carried Ms. Hang into a police car as she was rescuing a patient. She was then locked up in a brainwashing centre because she refused to give up practising Falun Gong.

9. Ms. Wu is a retired doctor Falun Gong practitioner in her 60's. On April 22nd, 2005 when she was shopping at an office [supply] store carrying her 3-year-old grandson, four police officers suddenly confronted her. They duped her, "You are accused of stealing. You must go with us!" They thus forcibly pulled the child out of her arms, dragged her to a police car and sent her to a brainwashing centre. The child was so shocked that he didn't talk for one week. Dr.Wu's mother-in-law, who was over 80 years old and was living with her, lost her care. Her family was severely interfered with.

10. "610 Office" agents are still persecuting Falun Gong. In the last several years several dozen Falun Gong practitioners in Lishui were sent to prison and suffered inhuman persecution. Falun Gong practitioners try to be good people. There is nothing wrong with that! The label given Falun Gong practitioners is a total lie. The practitioners endure huge suffering and pressure while they clarify the truth about Falun Gong with peaceful and kind hearts. They never fight back when they're beaten or sworn at. More and more kind people realise their righteous actions and broad mindedness. Many people are moved by their righteous actions and great compassion and tolerance.

As a veteran police officer, I have exposed these facts, which are however just a tiny bit of all the facts of this persecution.

I believe that Falun Gong's wide dissemination around the world, the overseas Falun Gong practitioners' strong appeals to stop the persecution, and the Chinese people's conscience having been aroused by the blood and tears of Falun Gong practitioners in China. All these sacrifices and efforts of Falun Dafa practitioners will finally wake up the numb and unconcerned hearts.

I hope that Chinese people whose minds are heavily poisoned by the "Party Culture" will get to know the facts of this persecution. I hope they will be able to tell right from wrong, good from bad, truth from falsehood, and make a clear-minded choice on this great event.

I believe that the power of righteousness and compassion will surely triumph over evil. In all history, the persecution of a righteous belief has never succeeded. The righteous power of Falun Dafa will for certain eliminate all the forces of the evil CCP and will resurrect the resplendence of Chinese people's culture and history.
