• Persecution Accounts from Shandong Province Women's Prison

  2011-01-20
  If a practitioner refuses to write "the five statements" to renounce practising Falun Gong at Shandong Province Women's Prison she is dragged to a small cell, where four or five criminal inmates take turns to pinch her all over her body. They attach papers on her with words that slander Falun Gong. They punch and kick the practitioner, and when she tears off the papers, they put the papers on her again and start another round of beatings, until the practitioner is exhausted. When the practitioner still refuses to write "the five statements," they press her against a table with her head twisted to one side so she cannot move her body. They grab her hand and try to force her to write. They also kick her private parts and chest.

• Children of Falun Gong Practitioners Discriminated Against at School

  2011-01-20
  When I was arrested by 610 Office agents (an organisation of special agents just for persecuting Falun Gong) in 2008, they also went to my daughter's school and tried to pressure the principal to call for a school-wide meeting to slander Falun Gong. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was resorting to implication and other coercive measures widely used during the Cultural Revolution to stir hatred among the masses. The 610 Office's intention was to poison the minds of students in my daughter's school, while at the same time discriminating against and isolating my daughter. The school officials did not carry out what the authorities wanted. For some time, the 610 Office sent out people to follow my daughter after school. They were trying to arrest any practitioners who would contact my daughter, but none of their tricks worked.
