• Falun Gong Practitioner Ms. Lu Guifang Dies as a Result of Torture in the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp

  2003-12-14
  In 2002, Dafa practitioner Lu went to Dalian City and was invited to a fellow practitioner's home. She was followed. Police arrested her, her husband and her son. Her husband was sentenced to three years of forced labour; her son to one year of forced labour; her sister-in-law was sentenced to three years of forced labour, and the women practitioners were sent to the Masanjia Labour Camp. It was the cold of winter during her detention at Yaojia Detention Centre in Dalian City. She paid the detention centre 300 Yuan for a quilt and bedcover, but never received them. The extreme cold prevented the 63-year-old woman from sleeping at night. She was also forced to work and sit on the bed in the day. They also physically and mentally tortured her.

• One of the Methods Adopted to Torture Falun Gong Practitioners -- Barbaric Forced Feeding

  2003-12-14
  "Policeman Li Jing was the orderly officer in charge of forced feeding one day in early July 2002. He required us to make a kind of paste. For each person, there would be 2 or 3 cloves of garlic, half a cucumber, 3 pieces of cabbage and some water. One of us said that Falun Gong practitioners would not be able to stand that since their stomachs were empty [from being on hunger strike]. But Li Jing shouted out ferociously, "They deserve that. Even if it kills them, it doesn't matter." None of us dared to speak out. Li Jing made a subtle threat, saying that we had to follow his orders 'or else,' and then left. The first one coming in was a young man in his 20's. After we fed him the paste, he held his stomach with his hands, and could not stand up nor sit down. His face turned pale, beaded with pea-sized beads of sweat. Seeing him suffering like that, my heart started to give. I started to regret this group of vicious predators and becoming a brutal henchman in the persecution of Falun Gong.

• Heilongjiang Province: Cruel Torture in the Harbin Drug Rehabilitation Centre

  2003-12-14
  The police at the Centre ask Falun Gong practitioners if they will continue to practise Falun Gong; if the practitioners answer yes, the police will direct a number of prisoners to beat them up. The police also force Falun Gong practitioners to do excessive amounts of work every day. Sometimes, in order to finish assignments on time, the practitioners have to work all night. Falun Gong practitioners are forced to go through brainwashing sessions every day. They are not given enough to eat and are not allowed to sleep. The steadfast practitioners receive even more vicious treatment; their legs are tied to the bed and they are hung up by their hands.

• A Happy Family Is Broken Apart by the Jiang Zemin Regime's Persecution

  2003-12-13
  August 3, 2001, the authorities started to harass his wife by forcing her to participate in the public trial for criminal death sentences, even though she was not a criminal nor given any criminal sentence. When she refused to attend, five policemen and other prisoners grabbed her hands, feet and hair and carried her to the courtyard and was pulled into a vehicle and carried to the public trial site. After the trial she was dragged to another big truck and forced to stand with criminals that were sentenced to death while it drove around the city as a form of public humiliation for criminals who were sentenced to death. The authorities plan to publicly implicate her with criminals sentenced to death was to cause her maximum fear and humiliation. When she was finally pulled off the truck she couldn't stand on her feet and her face was very pale. It was a severe shock to her self-esteem and spirit for being forced to stand alongside murderers that were to be sentenced to death.

• Violence and Torture in Shanxi Province Women's Forced Labour Camp

  2003-12-13
  The Shanxi Province Women's Forced Labour Camp purchased many videos made by the Chinese propaganda to slander Falun Gong. In order to gain praise from their superior, the police desperately enacted the evil policy that was made by former Chinese Leader Jiang Zemin against Falun Gong. The police are getting more and more vicious and hateful toward Dafa practitioners. They have stepped up brainwashing and are resorting to violence constantly. In order to force Dafa practitioners into renouncing their belief, the police torture practitioners in many ways such as beating, electric baton shocking, forced feeding with a stomach tube, being hand cuffed for extended periods, etc. Due to the authorities cover-up of their crimes, the evidence we have is only a small portion of the total crimes that have been committed.

• Liaoning Province: The Crimes of Dong'gang City Public Security Bureau Officer Wang Yunlong

  2003-12-13
  "If I don't get any money from you, I will throw you into prison." This is the most common phrase heard from Wang Yunlong, a Chief of the "Public Security" Bureau. After Mr. Liu was released in 2001, he revealed the persecution that Wang subjected him to, and filed a civil lawsuit against him. With a potential litigation looming, Wang responded by complaining to the Public Security Bureau, "If we don't send Liu Zhiyun back to jail, we cannot relax and play Mah Jong [a traditional Chinese gambling game played by four people.]...Wang started to harass Mr. Liu Zhiqing since 2003. Because Mr. Liu Zhiqing owned a restaurant, Wang "hinted" to him several times to pay a bribe, but Mr. Liu Zhiqing refused to comply with his illegal demand. On June 18, 2003, Wang abducted both Mr. Liu Zhiqing and Dafa practitioner Ms. Yang Chundi. Ms. Yang questioned Wang regarding the legality of the abduction and the lack of arrest warrant, but Wang answered jeeringly, "You want to see an arrest warrant? No problem. I will produce one later."

• Jiang Zemin's Regime Resorts to Brutal Means in Its Attempt to Brainwash Charles Li

  2003-12-12
  Experts on China issues have pointed out that forcing a person to give up his belief is the same as forcing him to give up his conscience and give up the dignity of being human. Forced brainwashing is annihilative, psychological persecution; the pain and aftermath is usually more cruel than physical torture. The Jiang regime likes to use psychological manipulation, while Jiang Zemin's persecution of Falun Gong has intensified and magnified this dark aspect. In fact, physical tortures are also used for psychological manipulation, and the goal is to force Falun Gong practitioners to give up their belief and right to practice.

• Jilin Province: Four Years of Atrocious Torture Recounted by Female Dafa Practitioner

  2003-12-12
  The police had arrested me six times since 1999, and caused my family a great deal of pain. Before the police threw me into the forced labour camp, they forced my husband to divorce me against our will. Hence, I had no home to return to after I was released and I became homeless. Later I moved into my mother's home and stayed with her and my young brother for a short period of time, but the police frequently came and harassed us. Sometimes the police would even break into my mother's home in the middle of the night, causing my mother and brother to live in fear and terror. In addition, the police fired me from work in 1999, because I appealed for Falun Dafa, and thus cut off my income. Later, my former employer granted me 150 yuan every month which was only enough to pay for the most minimal living expenses in the urban area of Jilin City.
