• Mr. Wang Xiaobin from Shaanxi Province Died as a Result of the Persecution at Forced Labour Camp

  2007-11-02
  Mr. Wang Xiaobin, 40 years old, was a farmer and Falun Gong practitioner in Shaanxi Province. He was imprisoned twice in Zaozihe Forced Labour Camp. When he was released in November 2005, he discovered that his mother had passed away. He became mentally disordered and died in April 2007. Since 2004, the labour camp has put every newly-imprisoned practitioner into a solitary cell without a window. Three drug addict inmates monitor one practitioner in one cell. None of the four is allowed to communicate with others outside. The small cell, the darkest place in the camp, is locked 24 hours a day. The four eat, sleep, and use a toilet in this very smelly, small cell. Practitioners are only permitted three hours of sleep a day and the rest of the time have to sit on a small stool reading books that slander Falun Gong.

• The Persecution of Group 5 in Shijiazhuang Forced Labour Camp

  2007-11-01
  Falun Gong practitioners have been imprisoned and persecuted in Group 5 of Shijiazhuang Forced Labour Camp since 2000. Those in charge have used violence in brainwashing practitioners and tortured them both mentally and physically. The so-called "transformation" by the Chinese Communist Party is, without exception, violently forced on practitioners. In order to encourage wardens to be more violent, an internal policy that awarded the wardens a minimum of 800 yuan for each practitioner they "transformed" was enacted. For transforming the "focused" practitioners, the award can be over a thousand or even over ten thousand yuan each. In October 2004, Qie Lili was tortured and brainwashed with the "flying eagle" torture. She was deprived of sleep for 10 days and at the end she showed the symptoms of a heart attack. She went on hunger strikes several times to protest the persecution but was brutally force-fed every time.

  2007-10-31
  An October 11th, 2007 news item on the Minghui website [Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net] shocked and deeply saddened me--the death as a result of torture of Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Wang Yuhuan.

As a result she was arrested, beaten and tortured many times. A good person who believed in the principles of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance" was tortured to death by the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP), simply because she exposed the facts of the persecution of Falun Gong.

• Crimes Committed at Moganshan Forced Labour Camp in Zhejiang Province

  2007-10-30
  Practitioner Guo Caiqin is 60 years old. Because of her determined belief in Dafa, on July 6th, 2006, she was sent to Moganshan Forced Labour Camp. Several drug addict inmates are assigned to monitor each practitioner. At the beginning, there were "conversations" where practitioners were pressured into giving up Falun Gong. If that did not work, practitioners were forced to watch video tapes or listen to tapes with the volume turned to the maximum. They were also forced to sit on a bench all day. Every day, practitioners were forced to get up very early in the morning and go to bed very late at night. If practitioners did not cooperate, they were forced to take an unknown drug. If they refused to take the drug, it was secretly put in their food. When Guo Caiqin found out that the inmates were putting drugs in her food, she went on a hunger strike to protest. Five drug addicts force-fed her with frozen bread. Her nose was bleeding and her teeth were loosened.

• Experiences of Persecution at the Fanjiatai Prison in Hubei Province

  2007-10-29
  Hundreds of Falun Gong practitioners have been brutally persecuted at the Fanjiatai Prison, Hubei Province. Practitioners were tortured separately at the prison, especially prior to April of 2002. If practitioners themselves do not tell about their persecution experiences, others will not know about it. For example, practitioner Mr. Fang Longchao was detained alone. No practitioner detained after 2002 ever saw him. I asked an inmate who once monitored Mr. Fang, "What did Fang Longchao do every day?" He said, "He did not do anything. Every day he was made to stand by the window, from after he got up until when he went to bed. His legs were swollen like an elephant's legs." I then asked, "He did not have any activities?" He said, "What kind of activities? He had to urinate in a cup and then drink it."
