• Hengshui City Detention Centre Chief Viciously Beat Dafa Practitioners

  2003-12-03
  After that, the detention centre guards kept mercilessly beating practitioners one by one for a whole day (except lunch time). At that time, I counted that only three among all the 28 Falun Gong practitioners had not been beaten mercilessly. The other 25 were all savagely beaten by Geng Zhanwu, then by Guo Yangying and Li Jinliang. The next morning, Geng ordered policeman Gao to brutally beat Ms. Liu Shujun, breaking her ribs. A female practitioner (Zhang Yongli's mother, who was in her 50s) vomited after the brutal beatings, but her hands were still cuffed behind the back. As a result, she urinated in her pants. After a female practitioner was beaten for a while, I began to count the beating sound of the police baton. When the policeman stopped, I had counted 396 blows.

• Behind the Distorted Facts of Zou Gang's Murder Case

  2003-12-02
  Not too long after CCTV aired this show in 1999, an elderly woman who had been my neighbour for many years told me that she knew Zou and his family. She said, "Zou has never practised Falun Gong. None of his neighbours have heard anything even if he did. It does not make any sense. I do not understand how they could insist on TV that he practised Falun Gong." I also learned that Zou had a twin brother who was mentally ill, single, and lived with his father. It was a fact that Zou killed a person, severely injured another, and mildly injured a third. It is not clear whether the cause of his mental disorder is physiological, hereditary, or due to other reasons, but we do know that it has nothing to do with Falun Gong. Many people who knew Zou well have never believed the lies that CCTV broadcast.

• Kaifeng City Detention Centre Guards Force Practitioners to Meditate on Snow-Covered Ground in Freezing Weather

  2003-12-02
  Shortly after 8:00 P.M. on February 8, 2000, guards at the Kaifeng City Detention Centre in Henan Province yelled, "Falun Gong! Come out and practise your exercises!" It was freezing cold, with bone-chilling winds. Policemen poured basins of water on the snow-covered ground and then forced practitioners, barefoot and dressed only in underwear, to meditate on the ground. Some were even forced to sit on the snow bank by a wall. The guards didn't even spare practitioners who were having their periods.

• Shuanghe Labour Camp in Heilongjiang Province Purchases 80 Torture Chairs

  2003-12-02
  They allow persecutors to take turns to hound those who have not given up their beliefs. Sometimes, they harass the practitioners until late into the night, and the practitioners are not permitted to interact with anyone else during that time. They supervise the practitioners 24 hours a day, and force them to watch videos that defame and slander Dafa. If the practitioners refuse to cooperate, they are tortured using various tools, such as metal torture chairs, until they give in. This summer, the Shuanghe Labour Camp purchased 80 of these chairs.

  On June 29, 2003, the "News Overview" programme broadcast on Dalian's TV Station reported on the situation of Falun Gong practitioners imprisoned in the Dalian Forced Labour Camp.

We and Falun Gong practitioners are like 'brothers.' There is absolutely no such thing as persecution here." The TV station also showed the staff in the labour camp singing, dancing, and playing in a yard that was full of flowers and grass. Is this really the truth? The following will unmask the staged kindness of the Dalian labour camp staff.

• Wuxue City Prison Hospital Administer Brutal Force-Feeding to Dafa Practitioner

  2003-12-01
  Mr. Liao Yuanhua was arrested in 2000. After he was detained in Wuxue City prison for more than one year, he was sentenced and sent to Shayang, where he suffered inhuman abuses. In October 2003, when some officials visited Mr. Liao in the prison hospital, they showed him fliers describing the inhuman abuses he and other Falun Gong practitioners suffered. Mr. Liao read through the flier carefully and said, "These things are all true; it was even worse than what the flyers describe." While pointing to policemen Xiao and Xiong who were monitoring him, he said, "It was they who did this." When Mr. Liao raised his feet to show the visiting officials the burned skin on his feet, policeman Xiao fiercely struck his feet to prevent him from doing so. Xiao accused Mr. Liao, "It was your fault; you leaked information about all of this. Otherwise, how would people know all the details?"

• Lecturer From Beijing's Central Institute of Nationalities, Presses Charges against Chinese Authorities

  2003-12-01
  As clearly stipulated by code 41 of the Constitution and code 254 of the criminal law, no person or organisation has the right to penalise, indict, or file a complaint against any citizen that file appeals. Yet, the involved administration authorities unreasonably withheld my complaint and as a legal plaintiff, and I was personally subjected to persecution by them as well. They used vicious means to harm my body and nervous system, and they tried to hound me to death or to the point that I suffered mental collapse. To quote their words, a person like me must "either be killed or made mentally disordered." It was not me who is the criminal, but these people of the concerned administration authority.

• Sentenced to 19-Year Prison Term, Shandong Dafa Practitioner Ms. Luu Guiling's Life Hangs by a Thread

  2003-11-30
  The police transferred Ms. Luu the following day, September 21, to the Jinan provincial female prison where she was subjected to all kinds of torture, including forced brainwashing. At this time, Ms. Luu Guiling had been on a two-month hunger strike. The prison staff tortured her daily through cruel force-feeding. They poured unidentified drugs into the liquid food, which further damaged her health. Ms. Luu was a perfectly healthy person. What is her physical condition now? Ms. Luu's body is now only skin and bones, her muscles are atrophied and her lips are cracked. She has lost her strength and ability to move or speak! Her life is in danger! Even though her circumstances have turned worse, the prison guards frequently harass her family at home. They know no shame and extort money from them, causing them much distress.

• Torture Instead of Healing Leads to a Fifty Percent Death Rate for Practitioners at the Public Security Hospital in Jilin Province

  2003-11-30
  When I heard that Liu Chengjun was admitted to the Public Security Hospital located in Jilin Province, I became very anxious. I remembered my own persecution experiences, having spent just four days in that hospital. I personally saw how the aim of the so-called "hospital" was basically not to cure or help Falun Dafa practitioners but instead was exactly the opposite. The persecution of Falun Gong practitioners was taken a step further there. I thoroughly came to understand the essence of the evil authorities in their attempt to create a news blockade, the intensity of their aggravated persecution, and their fabrication of lies.

• Dafa Practitioner Cruelly Force-Fed for 50 Days in Hewan Forced Labour Camp

  2003-11-30
  During this period, he was still forced to get up at 6 am and climb up and down the stairways continuously without rest until about 10-11pm each day. Police in the camp didn't treat him as a human being and didn't care whether he would survive their abuse. After being force-fed for 50 days, his family was finally allowed to see him. He was in such bad shape physically that they could hardly recognize him. His mother and wife both wept uncontrollably; it was unbearable for them to face him directly.
