Nanjing Women's Prison Coerces Dafa Practitioners' Family Members to Sign "Contracts" Justifying Their Persecution
2007-02-07In order to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners, the Nanjing Women's Prison coerced their family members into signing "helping and educating" contracts. When the guards tortured practitioners, they would say, "It's your family members who have entrusted us to educate you." The guards especially like to shock the practitioners with electric batons until they fall unconscious. Some practitioners have become partially disabled as a result. Some have developed limps, and others have developed a hunchback and cannot walk normally. -

Memories of My Fellow Practitioner Cheng Hanbo
2007-02-05I am a practitioner from Jiamusi who has been forced to be homeless. Today, I browsed the Minghui/Clearwisdom website and learned that Cheng Hanbo was persecuted to death. I can hardly believe this is true. I saw her picture and could not help crying. In 2001, I was detained in a forced labour camp. Around the end of September, practitioners were forced to sit and watch TV. I noticed Cheng Hanbo was also there. Our eyes met and we made a silent agreement not to cooperate with such a persecution. -
