• Non-Practitioner Couple Sentenced to Prison Because Wife's Older Sister Practises Falun Gong

  2006-08-09
  Presently in the women’s prison, there are 169 older people whose ages are from 60 to 74. They were sentenced to prison terms of 4 to 12 years. The women’s prison falsely tells outsiders that it implements humanity in its management, but actually the torture of the minds of Falun Gong practitioners is very serious. A Falun Gong practitioner who is 64 years old persisted in her practice, so the police tortured her by way of sleep deprivation. This eventually caused the blood vessels in the elderly lady’s brain to leak, causing hemiplegia and paralysis on one side of the body. According to the medical examiner’s appraisal, as well as the law, she qualifies for release in order to seek medical treatment, but the police didn’t release her until recently, giving all kinds of excuses.

  2006-08-06
  I was practising in a park on February 25th, 2000, when I was arrested and taken to a detention centre. At that time, many Dafa practitioners were kept there. They were punished by being forced to stand outside in the yard in the bone-chilling wind. They stood there for more than four hours. Their coats were taken away from them. Some practitioners wore only cotton shirts, some wore long under pants and some were forced to lie down on the concrete with their legs raised up in the air. The police even poured cold water on some practitioners’ trousers, soaking them and making it even colder. Some practitioners’ skin turned purple from being whipped by policemen using plastic tubing.
