Older Falun Gong Practitioner Zhang Huiru's Experiences During Eight Arrests
2007-08-30
My name is Zhang Huiru, and I am 65 years old. After the persecution began, I told myself that I must appeal for Falun Gong and try to restore its reputation and that of my Teacher, Mr. Li Hongzhi, because I have benefited so much from the practice. I went to Tiananmen Square on February 11th, 2000, to appeal. A plainclothes police officer approached me and said he was a Falun Gong practitioner from Harbin. He asked me if I was also a practitioner. I said, "Yes." A police van arrived and police officers forced me into the van and took me to the Qianmen Police Station. I heard later that police officers were to be paid 50 yuan for each practitioner they arrested on Tiananmen Square. -

Women's Team Guards at the Mudanjiang City Forced Labour Camp in Heilongjiang Province Torture Falun Dafa Practitioners

Guards slapped practitioners, bashed their heads onto metal beds and against walls and metal rails. Sometimes they sat on the practitioners to beat them. They often poured a big bucket of water over the practitioner and her bed, and dipped a mop into the water and dragged it over practitioners' heads, faces and bodies. They forced practitioners to watch video programmes slandering Dafa. They shocked practitioners with electric batons. Guards used electric batons to shock those practitioners who refused to recite the prison rules and who persevered in practising the exercises. They shocked the practitioners over their entire bodies, in particular their private areas. A smell of scorched flesh filled the whole cell after the torture sessions. -
