They shocked Falun Gong practitioners often to the extent that their hands and feet were full of blisters and bleeding. Within these several years I have lost two family members.

    The Jinan Women's Prison authorities capitalise on the hard labour that Falun Gong practitioners are forced to do, while at the same time practitioners are tortured for their belief in "Truthfulness, Benevolence, Forbearance." The work conditions and environment at the prison are very poor. Practitioners are forced to get up at 6:00 a.m. and begin work at 7:00 a.m. Although the prison says that practitioners only work until 10:00 p.m., in actuality, they are not allowed to stop working until as late as 2:00 a.m. If they do not finish the assigned quota, the prison guards then force practitioners to bring their work back to their cells and don't let them sleep until they are done.

  • Once Severely Persecuted and Tortured, Mr Qiao Renxi Now Forced to Become Destitute and Homeless

    During his detention, the policemen in the Chaoyanggou Labour Camp inhumanely persecuted and tortured Qiao Renxi. They hammered toothpicks into his fingers and cut off the part that was outside the fingers so that the toothpicks couldn't be taken out. This caused every finger to experience excruciating pain and fester from the wounds. Eventually he lost feeling in his fingers. The police took off his shoes and put his feet on the edge of the triangular iron bar, with one policeman hanging himself up by clutching the crossbeam of the house and forcefully stomping on his feet and grinding down. This made him nearly lose consciousness. They took wooden boards and slashed at his back and legs with them, causing cuts and bruises up and down his body. During his stay in the labour camp, he contracted scabies, which made him feel extremely painful and itchy.
