  • Evidence Suggests Ms. Wu Hong Died as a Result of Torture

    On January 7th, 2007, Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Wu Hong's body was cremated. The police claim that Ms. Wu Hong was severely injured when she "jumped from a moving vehicle" on the way from a brainwashing class to a detention centre. During the time she was being treated in the hospital, many Falun Dafa practitioners visited her, and discovered that her skull had been fractured, but her surface skin had no scratches or cuts, disproving the claim that she jumped from a moving vehicle. Normally when a person jumps from a moving vehicle, the skin would be badly scratched or cut. Ms. Wu Hong had no breaks in the skin at all, but all her injuries were internal. These were very possibly caused by brutal beatings that were done in such a way so as not to cause visible injuries.

Mr. Yang's relatives talked to the gate guard for a long time and eventually were allowed to go to fifth floor for a talk with the director of the Department of Political Affairs. The director saw Mr. Yang's mother-in-law and immediately went into a fury, "How dare you come here! I'm not letting you see him no matter what!"

The relative said, "Wang Bo had previously said something against her will on CCTV [Central China Television], but those were not her real thoughts.

On another occasion, a guard handcuffed him behind his back against a tall heating pipe and forced him to stand on tiptoe in a handcuffed position.

  • Persecution of Practitioners in Shiling Prison, Siping City, Jilin Province (Part 2)

    Practitioners who protest with hunger strikes are force-fed. Force-feeding is one of the tortures that destroys practitioners' wills and brings more suffering than one can imagine. It actually is one of the most brutal, cruel, and deceitful torture methods. They use it to torture practitioners and deceive the outside world. Practitioners that are force-fed are all in terrible condition. Their mouths, throats, and intestines are injured. After having been force-fed for a while one suffers constant internal pain. It feels as if one's intestines are being torn apart.

  • Exposing the Hypocritical Tactics of the Langfang Brainwashing Centre

    Han Zhiguang has been the Head of the Langfang City 610 Office since July 20th, 1999. He repeatedly incited his subordinates to commit crimes. To deceive the practitioners into cooperating, however, he always put himself forward as a kindhearted person. He sent numerous practitioners to forced labour camps. He was cited for his so-called "merit" in persecuting Falun Gong. He is known to have used a particularly vile form of persecution: those who had been coerced into renouncing Falun Gong would be released only when they had betrayed two fellow practitioners.

  • Persecution of Practitioners in Shiling Prison, Siping City, Jilin Province - (Part 1)

    The staff at Siping Shiling Prison, from the top to the bottom levels, put much effort into the goal of "destroying practitioners physically," unless they renounce their belief in Falun Gong. Yet, they show a completely different image to the world beyond the prison gate. When a Falun Gong practitioner is first transferred from another prison to Siping, they give the practitioner the impression of having escaped the brutality experienced in other prisons. However once they discover that the practitioner cannot be "transformed," they show their brutal side. They then use all kinds of torture methods to the point of "physical destruction."
