• Exposing the Crimes Committed by Prison Guards in Nanhu Forced Labour Camp in Anhui Province

  2007-03-28
  The Jiaozhi Division of Nanhu Forced Labour Camp in Anhui Province is detaining more than 30 Falun Gong practitioners. The officials of the labour camp have one guard to watch over each practitioner, putting practitioners under surveillance 24 hours a day. The practitioners are beaten, deprived of sleep, forced to stand for long periods, confined in a solitary compartment, and made to put on tightened hats. The prison guards recently organised "helpers" to forcefully brainwash and "transform" practitioners, using extreme pressure, and completely isolate and watch over them. Practitioner Mr. Lu Qinghai was confined in a solitary compartment and forced to put on the tightened hat for a long time because he firmly believes in Falun Dafa and refused to cooperate with the unreasonable demands of the guards.

• I Have Been Sent to Labour Camps and Brainwashing Classes Four Times in the Past Eight Years

  2007-03-27
  In August 2003, I was forcibly taken to a labour camp. I was often deprived of sleep and was put in solitary confinement. I was asked to recite the six articles of public security. After making me suffer for years, they made me sign the “Four Statements.” I felt very bad about myself. In April 2006, when I was back in my hometown to distribute materials, I was reported by someone who did not understand the truth of the persecution. I was arrested and sent to Lianzhou Detention Centre and then to a labour camp. As I had a high blood pressure, I was refused to be taken in. The “610 Office” sent me to Sanshui Brainwashing Class for the fourth time. In the following months, I did not cooperate with the persecution and they started using violence to torture me.

• Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Officials of the Guangdong Province Railroad System Engage in Deceitful Propaganda and Persecution of Falun Gong

  2007-03-26
  On February 1st, 2001, the Ministry of Education instructed every education institution and school to organise and to launch the Anti-Falun Gong Petition Signature collection activity, with the goal of getting a "Million Signatures" among the nationwide education system, and to use this to poison the minds of hundreds of millions of young students. When some students did not want to sign, the teacher in charge would use every means including threats and inducements, to force the students to sign, and failing to comply would result in expulsion from school. At the same time, they organised large-scale Cultural Revolution-style attacks on Falun Gong and the founder of Falun Gong with big banners, posters, and propaganda pamphlets. Chen Zhili even put anti-Falun Gong material into the elementary and high school teaching material and test questions for all grades, even college entrance and graduate students' examinations.

• An Older Lady Tells of the Persecution She Suffered in Sichuan Province

  2007-03-25
  After the Chinese Communist Party started to persecute Dafa, we were not allowed to practise together. My husband did not allow me to practise at home either. I could not understand. Why would such a wonderful practice be forbidden? I decided to speak out for justice for Dafa in Beijing. I was arrested in Beijing. In the regional office, the police asked where we came from. We did not say anything. Then they started to beat us. I still refused to tell, and then they took off my clothes. At last I only had on an undershirt. It was a cold winter day. They asked me to hold a stone lion up. One policeman said, "If you can hold it up, you will be released." Another officer, tall and mean said, "What do you say?" Then he slapped me. It felt like my eyeball had fallen out from the beating. I slowly pushed it back into place. My whole face was swollen, but I did not feel any pain.
