My Brother Was Tortured to Death Within Ten Days at Gangbei Prison
2013-10-07After being held in prison for 11 years, I was released on medical parole on April 26th, 2013 because of ill health. On arriving home, I was told that my younger brother, Mr. Li Xiwang, died ten days after he was taken to Gangbei Prison. I was told that my brother suffered what is called the “anchor torture.” In this torture method the person's legs are kept straight and fixed, held upright by iron pipes, while the hands are shackled to the ground. The back is arched and the legs are immobile. My brother was anchored for over ten hours (the maximum time one can endure this torture method is two hours). He was found dead at midnight. -
Falun Gong Practitioner Suffers Permanent Nervous System Damage from Forced Administration of Drugs in Prison
2013-10-07Mr. Dong Yanfa, 55, used to suffer from heart disease, but he became completely healthy after practising Falun Gong. In July 1999 the Chinese Communist regime violated the country's own constitution and deprived its people the freedom of faith by launching the brutal persecution of Falun Gong. Mr. Dong was since arrested and detained in the Ji'an City Detention Centre five times for persevering in practising Falun Gong. Two police officers forced an unknown drug into his nose. He lost all feeling in his lower body and even lost the ability to speak. He now has limited use of his body and to this day he continues to suffer from the damage caused by the drugs. -

Falun Gong Practitioners Continue to Be Detained and Tortured in Dalian Rehabilitation Centre
2013-09-24The Dalian Rehabilitation Centre, formerly known as the Dalian Forced Labour Camp, has released several of its detainees. However, Falun Gong practitioners are still being held in the centre and tortured. Although the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) claims that it is shutting down the forced labour camp system, practitioners are still being persecuted in other locations such as brainwashing centres and prisons. Since 2008, the Dalian Forced Labour Camp in Liaoning Province has been notorious for the methods of torture it uses on practitioners. To cover up its crimes and continue persecuting practitioners, officials at the camp changed the name to the “Dalian Rehabilitation Centre.” -

The Brutal Torture I Endured at Masanjia Forced Labour Camp
2013-09-24I was arrested in 2005 for posting materials exposing the persecution of Falun Gong in public areas. I was later taken to Masanjia Forced Labour Camp in Liaoning Province. I refused to do slave labour and was thus frequently tortured by the guards, who were very brutal. I began a hunger strike to protest the persecution. Guards pressed hard on my hands, which were shackled to the bed, and forced a tube into me every day. I was in excruciating pain. After a while, my nose, eyes, and face became swollen and they could not push the tube into my nose. Instead they inserted the tube directly into my throat. After force-feeding, I was hung up in a slanted position. -

Witnessing Prison Guards Persecute Practitioners to Insanity
2013-09-17I was shocked to learn on the Minghui website about a talented Qinghua University student named Ms. Liu Zhimei. She was persecuted to insanity in a prison under the Chinese communist regime. I witnessed other practitioners being persecuted while I was imprisoned over the last few years. One was 60-year-old Ms. Chen Xiaoyue. Due to the intense persecution, Ms. Chen was “reformed” [forcibly renounce Falun Gong] by the communist regime and gave up her faith in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. The police then forced her to help reform other practitioners and torture them if they refused to cooperate. Ms. Chen was later diagnosed with "manic psychosis." -
