  • Ten Types of Torture I Experienced During Imprisonment at Masanjia Labour Camp

    In 28 months, the perpetrators used over ten different methods to torture me including "Back lock" where one arm crosses the front of the body, while the other crosses behind the back, and the hands are locked together behind the back. The neck is tied to the feet with rope, making it impossible to raise the head. One's body cannot sustain such a position, and after over forty minutes, I was sweating all over, and my heart could not bear it any longer. I was only unlocked after they realised that I would die if the torture continued.
  • Ms. Dai Ying, Living in Europe, Recounts the Cruel Torture She Suffered in China

    On March 5th, 2000, I went to Beijing to appeal against the persecution. Police detained me in Futian District Detention Centre. In order to resist and protest the persecution, I went on a hunger strike and the police force-fed me. They put a very rigid tube into my nose until I bled. When the tube did not reach my stomach, they forced my teeth open with a screwdriver. Then they put a bamboo barrel with a very sharp end into my mouth with a lot of force. My mouth hurt immediately. After that, they force-fed me with food or condensed salt water. I felt like choking. After they finished the forced-feeding, I felt as if I had died.
  • A Letter Written by Mr. Wang Gang, Crippled from Torture, from Baoding Prison, Hebei Province

    During my ten days of solitary confinement, the people who watched me were not allowed to speak to me. They only gave me a little water. Sometimes they would not even allow the people who were watching me to speak or give me water. During this period, the prison director Gao Ying was personally responsible for torturing me. When the captain of my brigade wanted to visit me, he had to get permission from Gao Ying. They wanted to "transform" me using this method, or they would tie me to the bed for 15 to 30 days. That bed had metal corners, three iron bars on the wooden board, two foot shackles, and a very wide waist belt. Both of my hands were cuffed to the bed.
  • Who Is Responsible for Ms. Liu Kun’s Death?

    Ms. Liu has been persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party's various operational departments, the neighbourhood administrative office, and the residential commission. From 2000 to 2002, she was detained in the Longshan Forced Labour Camp and the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp in Liaoning Province. She was brutally tortured for a long time. Her face and entire body swelled up after being forced to sleep on the cement floor for a long time. She couldn’t open her eyes or mouth. Ms. Liu endured physical, mental and financial persecution for an extensive period of time, and her health deteriorated and so Ms. Liu Kun passed away.
  • Mr. Zhang Guodong Detained and on a Hunger Strike in Heilongjiang Province

    Mr. Zhang Guodong was arrested several times by police and only released after paying large fines. In May 2002, he was taken away again from work by police and his home was searched. He was not released until he had paid a 2,000-yuan (approximately 135 pounds) fine. Now Mr. Zhang has been arrested and detained again on unwarranted charges. His supervisors and family have demanded his release, but the Public Security Bureau are refusing, saying that it was the provincial authorities that had ordered the arrest. Mr. Zhang is protesting the persecution with a hunger strike, which is now in its fifth day. He is very weak.
  • The Persecution of Ms. Yu Xiulan in the Harbin City Women's Prison in Heilongjiang Province

    On December 1st, 2003, wardens dragged 25 practitioners who were firm in their belief in Dafa to the courtyard and let them stay in the cold. The Prison Director forced the practitioners to run. They beat the practitioners if they stopped running. They also cut the practitioners' hair short and rolled up their sleeves to expose their ears and arms to the cold air. Some inmates forced practitioners to lay on the snow. They took off the practitioners' winter coats and left them only in their undershirts and underpants. The weather was 10 below zero Fahrenheit. Just imagine the pain that the practitioners experienced out in the snow in their undershirts for eight or nine hours.
  • My 80-year-old Mother Died of Grief after the Police Lied to Her and Refused to Let Her See Me in Detention Three Times

    On February 4th, 2003, police burst into my home, raided it and sent me to a detention centre. I was imprisoned in this hell on earth for about half a year. During this period, my 80-year-old mother was left alone by herself without anyone to take care of her. My mother visited the police station to ask for my release. Police shouted insults at her and said "You have no hope of seeing your daughter, so there is no need for you to come back." On another occasion they said to her, ""Since your daughter practises Falun Gong, she refuses to acknowledge her family. She does not want you as her mother." After my mother returned home, she was so upset that she cried every day and became critically ill. She died soon after.

He had trouble walking because he was so weak as a result of severe persecution.
  • Guizhou Province Women's Forced Labour Camp Refuses to Let Guards Go Home in Order to Cover Up News of Atrocities

    Practitioners were frequently taken to isolated places, where selected individuals took turns driving them into the wall or iron beds by pulling their hands and deliberately tripping them. The perpetrators repeated this again and again for pleasure, while saying that they were 'giving lectures.' The practitioners were forced to stay longer if they did not cooperate. The brutal persecution of these female practitioners is constantly changing and it seems there is no end to the cruelty. Even a glance between practitioners incurs a beating. They also commonly rub an unknown drug on the practitioners at random.
  • Persecution Evidence from Falun Dafa Practitioners Detained at Shaanxi Province Women's Forced Labour Camp

    In August 2001, guard Liu Hong brutally tortured practitioners Wang Jie and Li Cuifang. They were compelled to submit to the "forced backbend" position. [Note: This is a very painful form of torture in which one arm is reaching down the back behind the head and the other hand meets it from the lower back. The hands are handcuffed together to cause unbearable pain] They were handcuffed with their hands up, in front of their chests, for a month. Sleep was forbidden. The handcuffs remained, even when they were eating or using the toilet.
  • The Bitter Experiences of Two Falun Dafa Practitioner Police Officers in Huanan County, Heilongjiang Province (Photos)

    There are two police officers in my hometown, the chief and the deputy chief of the local police station, Officer Sun Jihong and Officer Shang Xiping. After they began practising Falun Gong, they got rid of much bad behaviour typically seen in today's police force in Mainland China and became honest and kind. Since the onset of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) persecution of Falun Gong, both of them suffered severe persecution. Beijing police officers beat Sun Jihong to death. His wife, Yuan Hezhen, was tortured to death. It was recently learned that Shang Xiping has been sentenced to ten years in prison.
  • Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Officials Relentlessly Persecute a 60-year-old Kindergarten Teacher

    Six of us were sent to a detention centre. We were detained for 30 more days. Every day, we were forced to do much labour. We were also forced to strip 5 kilos of thin copper wires. There were animal droppings in our food. The vicious guards also ordered us to recite the detention centre rules. We did not cooperate with them. A member of the organisation department, Chen Su, interrogated me twice. He tried to force me to stop practising. I answered him, "My determination in Dafa cultivation is unwavering." They asked me to write the three statements. I did not cooperate.
  • The Persecution of Dafa Practitioners Mr. Sun Kuixun and Ms. Sun Huijun from Pingdu City in Shandong Province

    On September 5th, 2006, authorities from a detention centre sent more than ten police officers to Sun Kuixun's house. He was arrested and to protest he went on a hunger strike. The police directed workers to force-feed him. First they used scissors to force open his mouth, stuck in some pliers to hold his mouth open, and a doctor inserted a tube. Even though he knew that inserting the hard tube would cause severe pain, he still inserted it and pulled it out, and re-inserted it. After they inserted the tube, he was fainting and on the verge of death, so the authorities sent him to the emergency room. When Sun Kuixin first awoke in the emergency room, a leader of the team said, "You should be grateful that I did not kill you!"
  • Practitioner from Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province Recalls Being Mistreated Five Years Ago

    In late July 2000, I travelled to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa. I was arrested while riding on the bus from Tianjin to Beijing, and was interrogated for an entire day. Inside the Tianjin Detention Centre, when we did do the exercises, the guards beat us. There was no bedding, only rough wooden boards for sleeping. We were forced to eat mouldy steamed corn bread and a piece of dried vegetable. We are kind people and yet we were treated worse than criminals. To protest our detention, we went on a hunger strike. The guards force-fed us, which caused my teeth to become loose due to my mouth being forced open.
  • Sanshui Forced Labour Camp Refuses Relatives' Request for the Release of Falun Dafa Practitioners

    Ms. Jiang Jiayin, Ms. Jiang Lanlan, and Mr. Wu Xiyuan, practitioners in their fifties, were arrested and detained in Sanshui Forced Labour Camp for four months. Ms. Jiang's mother went to Sanshui Labour Camp to request the release of their relatives. She wore a T-shirt to the camp with these words written in large letters: "Wronged" and "Give me back my daughters Jiang Jiayin and Jiang Lanlan." On the back it said: "There is no crime in having a faith, stop the persecution." The T-shirt was violently stripped off Ms. Jiang's mother by labour camp guards. They then threatened her, "If you do this in any other place, you will be sentenced to several years in prison."
