I later learned that the guards had tortured her with electric shocks to the point of unconsciousness. Ms. Sun Yanfang refused to renounce Falun Dafa. Guard Liu Baibing summoned her and brutally tortured her until she could not move her wrists. In spite of this, they still forced her to work.

    Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Zhang Bofeng was sentenced to a labour camp on December 20th, 2004.

They come up with a different excuse each time the family tries to see him, such as that the camp leaders are on a meeting, etc. It has been almost two years since his family members have seen Mr. Zhang, and they are very anxious. They don't even know if he is still alive. The camp staff have never given them a clear explanation of Mr. Zhang's situation.
  • I Was Arrested and Taken to Gaoyang Forced Labour Camp to Be Persecuted for My Spiritual Belief

    "Most of the people imprisoned in Gaoyang Forced Labour Camp were Falun Gong practitioners. There are also some non-practitioner detainees there, but not many. The atmosphere is especially intense. As soon as a person enters the camp, he/she feels it is ghastly and fearful, causing one to gasp for breath. I lived on the first floor. Five people live in each room. The window was nailed shut and the room was not ventilated. The smell was very strong from the toilets. We often heard guards beating and abusing people on the second floor. There were also the pitiful cries as the practitioners were beaten."

    Guard Zhang Guimei and Wang Zhufeng (warden) once tied practitioner Yuan Shufang (over fifty years old) to an execution bed for many days. They used the excuse of treating her illness to insert over ten electric needles into her face, head, hands and soles of her feet and then applied electricity, causing Yuan Shufang to foam from the mouth. Wang Shufeng and Feng Xiaochun (warden) shocked practitioner Ma Guirong (over fifty years old) with electric batons, causing her to be unable to walk or take care of herself. She could only lay on the ground after the beating.
  • Two Cases of Becoming Healthy after Practising Falun Gong, Then Dying Due to Persecution

    70-year-old Mr. Bai Ruyi had many diseases before he practised Falun Gong. He had hypertension, heart disease and liver dysfunction. In 1998 he started reading a Falun Dafa book. After one month, he stopped taking all his medications. After July 20th, 1999, when the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started persecuting Falun Gong, Bai Ruyi suffered from harassment, and police searches of his home. The police forced him to write a guarantee statement renouncing Falun Gong. The resulting guilt along with the policemen's harassment and threats caused Bai Ruyi to lose his environment for studying Dafa, and thus he became weaker and weaker. His liver diseases recurred; he vomited blood, and passed away on September 2nd, 2004.
  • Falun Dafa Practitioner Zhao Xin, 56, Persecuted for Seven Years in Jilin City

On November 7th, 2002, she cooperated with the Dongjuzi street committee of the Changyi District in Jilin City and deducted 2,000 yuan from my salary, and has not paid it back.
  • Harbin City Women's Prison Authorities Reward Inmates for Torturing Falun Gong Practitioners

    Harbin City Women's Prison authorities in Heilongjiang Province use inmates to persecute Falun Gong practitioners. Deputy prison warden Liu Zhiqiang incites inmates to monitor and torture practitioners. He rewards each inmate with five points a month that apply toward sentence reductions. Inmates who do heavy manual labour in the workshops only receive three or four points a month. Accordingly, the inmates unscrupulously torture and abuse the practitioners.
  • Exposing the Brainwashing Methods Used by Masanjia Forced Labour Camp

    I just came out of Masanjia Forced Labour Camp. The camp had tried all means to persecute me and make me give up Falun Dafa. When I was initially sent to the labour camp, the guards and the collaborators were very "nice" to me. They showed their particular "care" in their attitude of talking and how they treated me in daily life. Never be deceived by them. After a while, their true intentions were revealed. Each air particle in Masanjia is soaked with evil, and it makes people feel suffocated.
  • Stories of Slave Labour and Psychological Torture at Xin'an Forced Labour Camp

    Some practitioners were made to knit sweaters while the rest had to wrap disposable chopsticks and skewer bait fish. Wrapping disposable chopsticks is also hard work. The chopsticks came in large burlap bags. Practitioners had to carry the burlap bags to the third floor, about 100 metres. Each day over 100 burlap bags of chopsticks would arrive. Each bag of chopsticks weighed over 60 lbs. on average. Sometimes there was a shortage of people, and even an elderly practitioner near 60 years old had to carry these heavy sacks to the third floor. Every day practitioners had to wake up before 6:00 a.m. Immediately after they made their beds and washed, they were made to start the day's slave labour.
  • Women's Prison of Heilongjiang Province Extends Prison Terms for Those Who Learned Falun Dafa in Prison

    Authorities at the Women's Prison of Heilongjiang Province have extended the prison terms of more than a dozen inmates who became Falun Dafa practitioners while in prison. These inmates learned Falun Dafa after they came into contact with the practitioners who were imprisoned there since July 20th, 1999. Nevertheless, the authorities at the prison have not spared this special group of practitioners. One of the tactics the authorities use is to forgo the reduction of their prison terms. The second tactic used to persecute them is to extend their prison terms. The excuse for the extension is straight forward: "Because you practise Falun Gong!"
  • Medical Doctor Li Aijun Lost Her Freedom for Four and a Half Years

    Ms Li Aijun was a doctor at the Xiyuan Hospital in Beijing City. In late 2000, Li Aijun was forced to leave her job and become homeless for more than one year because of the persecution. Unfortunately, she was arrested by the police in early 2002, and was then dismissed by her employer. Under such high pressure, she was "transformed" by brainwashing. However, she soon realised that the transformation was wrong. So she declared that her deeds done under pressure were null and void, and chose to continue to practise Falun Gong. As a result, she was sentenced to nine years imprisonment and has been detained in the Beijing City Tiantanghe Women's Jail for four and a half years.
  • Four Falun Dafa Practitioners from Xinjiang, Hebei, and Henan Provinces Were Persecuted to Death

    36-year-old Niu Dehui went to Beijing to appeal to higher authorities in January 2001. He was arrested by the police in Beijing and returned to his home town on October 16th. He'd only been home for an hour when he was arrested and detained again. Finally Niu's family found someone who helped them, and they were then allowed to visit him after he'd been detained for a month. When they went to the police station a few months later, someone told them, "I heard that he was sentenced to two years at the Daquangou Forced Labour Camp where he was tortured to death on April 27th, 2002."
