• Additional Information about the Murder of Elderly Falun Gong Practitioner Peng Guangjun at the Beijing Tuanhe Forced Labour Camp

  Mr. Peng Guangjun was an elderly Falun Gong practitioner who lived in Huairou District, Beijing. He was sent to the Tuanhe Forced Labour Camp and after a day of incarceration was sent to hospital, pronounced dead that same day. The authorities were adamant in trying to hide the fact that Peng Guangjun had been beaten to death. An official threatened his family "to give up investigating the cause of Peng Guangjun's death" after they requested an autopsy, "If you don't want to obey the government's arrangement, we'll make all your family members jobless so that you all will be unable to make a living."

• Guangzhou City Police Blind Ms. Wang Haiyan's Right Eye While Beating Her (Photos)

  2004-09-25
  In November 2002, Wang Haiyan was sent to Guangzhou City's Chatou Forced Labour Camp. I met her there for the second time. I saw her for the first time when she went to Beijing on July 20, 1999, to appeal for Falun Gong. At that time, her eyes were beautiful and shining. When I saw her in the forced labour camp however, she looked totally different. She was being held up by two people, and she could not see out of either eye. Her right eyeball was sunken and had shrunk, even the black pupil of her right eye had completely turned white. She had great difficulty walking and was unable to look after herself.

• "I Have a Different Opinion"

  2004-09-25
  I think these practitioners are courageous, kind-hearted and honest. These are virtues a person should have. They should not be captured and detained. Look at today's society. When people get into trouble, in order to protect themselves, they always tell lies! Nowadays, you don't trust other people any more, no matter how good they sound. This society is hopeless if it continues to be like this! So I really admire the spirit of Falun Gong. Not everybody can follow "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance!"

  Torture method: Police officers bind Falun Gong practitioners' arms behind their backs, pull their arms upwards by the hands, and tie each end of the rope around the opposite shoulder. Next, they make them sit with their legs crossed on top of each other, then tie their legs to keep them in that position. The torturers even pull their knees together until they are only less than seven inches apart.

  In March 2001, guards at the Longshan Forced Labour Camp in Shenyang City started the systematic persecution of Falun Gong practitioners so as to "forcibly reform" them, a euphemism for brainwashing.

Female prison guard Wang Jinghui said, "You don't want to be reformed? Then your stay here won't be comfortable!"

She also exposed the Chinese legal system's cooperation in the persecution.

• Types of Torture Practitioners Are Subjected to in the Second Detention Centre and Forced Labour Camp in Changchun

  2004-09-23
  This is a type of torture that the Chinese police and prison guards frequently resort to when interrogating practitioners (about where they obtained the materials containing the facts about Falun Gong, and who helped produce them). The torturers would seal a practitioner's head with a plastic bag to suffocate him while punching and kicking him, or shocking him with high-voltage stun batons. The feeling of being suffocated is horrific.
