• Doctor Cao Chunqiang Dies after Beatings and Forced Labour

  2011-03-13
  Doctor Cao Chunqiang used to have his own clinic in the Sanhekou Community in Longmen Town. Because he practised Falun Gong, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) personnel kept harassing him, forcing him to close the clinic in May 2004 and find other work. In 2006, police arrested him. Seven officers beat and kicked him brutally, severely injuring his head, ear, and genitals. Police said he was arrested for practising Falun Gong, and giving people materials exposing the persecution of Falun Gong. His left ear festered, and his other injuries were not treated. Police had him do forced labour in a detention centre for 18 months, then took him to the Xinhua Men's Forced Labour Camp. In 2007, the authorities had to release him due to his ill health. Mr. Cao died of liver cancer on January 4th, 2010. He was 37 years old.

  2011-03-13
  Ms. Wang Jinfan has been persecuted repeatedly by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) since the start of the persecution in July 1999. She was sentenced to more than ten years of imprisonment in 2002. She recounts: "Police broke into my home on July 16th, 2000. They ransacked the place, confiscated Falun Gong books and took me to the police station. Officer Chen used a torture method called "carrying a sword on the back" in which one arm is forced up and over the shoulder and the other is forced up behind one's back. Then the two are tightly linked with handcuffs. He slapped my face dozens of times until my face swelled. He dragged me to the centre of the room and kicked my back really hard. He grasped the handcuffs, lifted me up, and swung me. All my weight was on my wrists. I couldn't stand the excruciating pain and cried out. It felt like my right arm was dislocated. My wrists bled from the handcuffs."

• Violent Persecution in the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp, Liaoning

  2011-03-12
  I went to Beijing to appeal for an end to the persecution of Falun Gong in 2000, and was arrested and sent to the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp in Liaoning. This particular forced labour camp is notorious for its human rights violations. While I was there, I saw all too much evil. Falun Gong prisoners had to get up at 5:00 a.m. We had to work in the workshops, making flowers, sweaters, crafts, and cotton clothing for export. We were exposed to harmful chemicals every day. We worked long days, until 10:00 p.m., and sometimes past midnight. One practitioner named Su Juzhen was tortured to death. They would not let her sleep at night and forced her to squat for long periods of time.
