• "Return My Mother!"

  2007-08-15
  "Return my mother!" This was the agonising outcry coming from the 16-year-old girl Beibei. Beibei's mother, Liu Shuxiang, was arrested several days ago because she practised Falun Gong. On July 17th, 2007, Liu Shuxiang started to distribute leaflets exposing the persecution of Falun Gong while waiting for a bus. Some bystanders who did not understand the truth reported her to the local authorities, and the local police took her into custody. Liu Shuxiang is currently being confined inside the Qiangdao Mountain Detention Centre on criminal charges. Beibei went to look for her mother everywhere, only to find out that the police abducted her even before she could board the bus at the bus station.

• Tianhe Detention Centre: a Place of Brutal Persecution in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province

  2007-08-15
  Every morning, when the gate opens, the cold winter blows in. The prison warden sits in a chair followed by thugs in red vests with guns in their hands. When the warden waves his hand, the head of the cells will run to him with the labour completion report from the prior day. The warden will then call out names. Those who did not finish their work are subjected to whipping. The thugs will use full force and strike the victims with one end of a long gun. You can only hear the sound of strikes and horrendous screams. The victims' bottoms often are beaten black and purple with blood all over. Falun Gong practitioner Wang Jinhua was subjected to such torture. She had difficulty walking afterwards.

• Mr. Sun Yaoting Sentenced to Xinmi Men's Prison in Henan Province

  2007-08-12
  On May 8th, 2007, Mr. Sun Yaoting was secretly sent to Xinmi Men's Prison without his family being notified. The prison refused to take him since he could hardly breathe or walk, after he was tortured at a detention centre. His relatives were ordered to pay for a physical examination. A medical parole would be arranged through the courthouse if he was too sick, but he would be sent to Xinmi Men's Prison if his condition was not that bad. His family didn't have the money to pay for the exam, so the Yanshi City Political & Judiciary Committee found several so-called experts to examine him. They reported that his tuberculosis was negative and not contagious. On June 13th, 2007, Sun was sent to Xinmi Men's Prison. He had to be carried into the prison.

On average, they were forced to work over 18 hours per day, and often past 3:00 a.m. They had no rights and no labour law protection.
