• Exposing the Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners in Shandong Women's Forced Labour Camp

  2009-05-19
  There are nearly four hundred Falun Gong practitioners detained in Shandong Women's Forced Labour Camp at present. The guards have used every means to torture Falun Gong practitioners. They mixed unknown drugs into practitioners' food. After eating the food, practitioners developed dizziness, fatigue, facial contortion, and had difficulty controlling eye movement and body movement. Some even lost their senses and became disoriented. The guards forced practitioners to do intensive labour for extended hours. Practitioners work until 12:00 a.m. every day. In 2009, they tripled the practitioners' workload. At the end of the day, some practitioners are so exhausted that their hands and arms are numb.

• Ms. Ma Bingjuan's Narration of Torture in Heilongjiang Province Women's Prison

  2009-05-17
  I was taken to the Heilongjiang Province Women's Prison on September 27th, 2003. Every morning, from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., we were forced to run laps without a rest except for one toilet break. After two days of running, my legs became so sore that I could barely walk. On the third day, I knew I was innocent and, as a practitioner, should not be treated like that. I refused to run and cried "Falun Gong is good." Wang Xiaoli, the deputy chief of the training centre in the prison, dragged me out of the line, pushed me into a corner, forced me to squat facing a wall, and whipped me fiercely with surgical tubing. I protested that the beating was illegal, but she continued whipping me and said, "I will beat you."

  2009-05-15
  Mr. Liu Yongjin was sentenced to seven years in Taian prison, and sent to Ward V because he had not "transformed." It was said that in solitary confinement, the prison arranged a dozen or so inmates to guard him. They watched him closely around the clock, and allowed him to sleep for only two to three hours a day, and eat just two small buns (one half each morning and evening and one at noontime) for his meals. Even water was rationed. With his body already badly weakened, Mr. Liu was forced to march in military steps for four hours a day in the prison courtyard. The duration of his solitary confinement has long exceeded that permitted by the prison regulations, but the police officers keep extending it because he refuses to give in.
