• Exposing the Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners in Wumaping Prison, Sichuan Province

  2007-07-24
  The prison has solitary confinement areas, and the "Assembly Division" has big and small cells where many people have been tortured to death. It is indeed a hell and is used to "destroy the bodies, wreck the souls, and extinguish human nature." According to those inmates who have been detained in the prison for years, 50 per cent or more of those sent to the solitary confinement areas or the big and small cells were tortured to death. If one luckily came out alive, he often suffered internal injuries and died several months later. The big or small cells were designed like a water dungeon. Each is a small pit, about one metre below the ground. It has a concrete bed and frozen water. The victims were thrown on the concrete bed without any cover. If the victims cried out from the extreme pain, those in charge would add more freezing water, and the crying would immediately stop.

• Examples of How the Police "Arrest" Falun Gong Practitioners in Wuhan City, Hubei Province

  2007-07-24
  In March 2004, Jin Zhiping, the chief of the Qiaokou Police Precinct, led other officials to secretly arrest Falun Gong practitioners Huang Zhao and Liu Ning at their home and search it. Huang Zhao was tortured to death within 24 hours at the Qiaokou Police Precinct office. The police blocked all information about this. Even Huang's family was not informed. Liu Ning escaped from the police office and told her parents that she had been arrested. At that time, none of them were informed about Ms. Huang's death. Her father immediately went to see Jin Zhiping at the police precinct office and asked for her. Jin was astonished: "How do you know Huang is here?" Jin then deceived her father by saying that she was fine. Actually, she had passed away days earlier. After two weeks, the police could no longer cover up the case. Finally, they informed Ms. Huang's family that she had died, but lied and said that she had committed suicide.

• Non-Practitioner: Policemen from Pingshan County Public Security Department in Hebei Province Brutally Tortured My College Classmate, Mr. Ren Yinhai, in an Attempt to Coerce a Confession

  2007-07-22
  My college classmate, Mr. Ren Yinhai, is an associate doctor and the vice president of the Pingshan County Epidemic Prevention Station. He is well established in his career and has received awards for his research and professional papers. He was one of the best students among our classmates in college. For a while I did not hear from him. When I asked other classmates and learned that because he practised Falun Gong, he was being persecuted, I sincerely wanted to know about his situation in detail, so I went to see him. Although I do not practise Falun Gong, I know that all Falun Gong practitioners are good persons because I know several practitioners. This is why I know about Falun Gong, and also know about the severe persecution against Falun Gong.

• A Falun Gong Practitioner's Letter to Her Husband from a Brainwashing Centre

  2007-07-21
  Dear Lei: How are you? Ever since I began practising Falun Gong, I learned the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance which have brought more harmony and joy to our home. However, when the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started to persecute us, it created a lot of unhappiness. Many times, I was arrested, detained, and sentenced to prison terms. What happened to me has brought hardships to you and our family. You and the children and relatives all suffered a great deal, including tremendous financial losses. All that is not supposed to be a burden for us to carry, but has been forced upon us by the Community Party. Someone may say, "If you don't practise Falun Gong, everything will be all right." However, when I turn it around, I ask, "If the Communist Party stops persecuting us, would I need to speak out for justice for Falun Gong?"
