Evidence Suggests Ms. Wu Hong Died as a Result of Torture
2007-01-19On 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. -

2007-01-18Practitioners 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.

Exposing the Hypocritical Tactics of the Langfang Brainwashing Centre
2007-01-18Han 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.

Persecution of Practitioners in Shiling Prison, Siping City, Jilin Province - (Part 1)
2007-01-17The 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." -
