Calling for the Rescue of My Father, He Sanpu, Held at a Brainwashing Centre in Henan Province

2006-08-12

In July 2000, we asked many people before finding out that my father had been sentenced to two years of forced labour. My mother and I immediately went to the labour camp with some clothes for him. I then saw him for the first time since his disappearance. The detainees were doing heavy manual labour and turning over sand for casting iron. Then a man walked up to me. I looked at him carefully and finally recognised my father. He used to be strong and healthy, but at that point he was skin and bones. His hands were deeply bruised by the coarse sand. I lost control and cried loudly.

2006-08-12

Falun Dafa practitioner Ban Huijuan from Huadian City, Jilin Province became mentally disoriented after suffering prolonged persecution in Heizuizi Prison.

She had to be carried to the meeting place by two people and could no longer recognise her family. She spoke only broken words, and kept forgetting what she had just said as she continued to speak. By the end of the meeting, she still barely recognised her family. The guard said she was faking it.

Falun Gong Gave New Life to a Retired College Professor - the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Persecution Drove Her to Mental Collapse

2006-08-10

I remember that on TV, the government propaganda said, "Falun Gong destabilises society and is harmful to practitioners' mental and physical health, we must eradicate Falun Gong in three months." In China in the past several years, tragedies like this one have happened over and over to many families and individuals. But everyone should ask himself a hard question, "Who is destabilising society? What is harmful to people's health? A healthy Falun Gong practitioner was reduced to a bedridden mental patient who needs constant care for daily living. How could they blame Falun Gong for harming people's health?

Falun Dafa Practitioners Brutally Beaten and Enslaved by the Changsha Women's Prison

2006-08-10

According to prison regulations, the older people above the age of sixty are forbidden from participating in labour work, but the older Falun Gong practitioners are still forced to work. Besides peeling nuts and packing tofu, Falun Dafa practitioners under the "Transformation and Re-education Team" also had to make mats and weave clothes. They worked, ate, drank, excreted and slept together in the prison cells, which held more than ten people. This was both unhygienic and inhuman. Due to the humidity being very high in the room, all the bed sheets were damp. The practitioners were unable to get any rest because of the extreme temperatures during the winter.

2006-08-09

on March 13th 2000, police detained me in my local detention centre. Policeman Li Wei used his soles to slap me on my face. When he got tired from beating me up, he left to take a rest. Yan Wu then continued to slap me on my face. My teeth became loose and blood came out of my mouth. My whole face swelled and deformed. Yan Wu forced me to take off my trousers and used a shovel to hit my buttocks. Later the head of the shovel went loose and fell off when he beat me.

It was so painful that I rolled over on the ground.

2006-08-09

Several Falun Gong practitioners living in the countryside, who were the major breadwinners for their families, were sentenced to seven years in prison without any legal procedures. Before sending these Falun Gong practitioners to the Zhaozihe Forced Labour Camp, the police said that they would release them if they paid 40,000 yuan. How could these farmers have this kind of money when they even had difficulty making ends meet? They are still being detained and tortured in the forced labour camp.
