• Mr. Kang Hong from Chongqing City Is Suffering Severe Persecution

  2008-12-23
  Xishanping Forced Labour Camp authorities have stepped up their persecution of Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Kang Hong, putting his life in jeopardy. We urgently appeal to people from around the world to help rescue this kind-hearted person. Mr. Kang was arrested and taken to the Labour Camp around August 31st, 2008. He had to be carried into the camp, as both of his shins were fractured, making it difficult for him to stand, let alone walk. In mid-November, Mr. Kang screamed in pain all day long, flailing his arms around wildly. Knowing the dubious history of the hospital, it seems likely that the doctors injected powerful psychotropic drugs into Mr. Kang in an effort to damage his nervous system.

• Guards in Labour Camps and Prisons Receive Hefty Bonuses for Participating in the Persecution

  2008-12-23
  In Beijing, the centre of the persecution of Falun Gong, the Communist Party has used large sums of money to build new prisons and labour camps to hold practitioners. It has also maintained the persecution by paying huge bonuses to guards in order to reward and encourage their continued participation. During the 2008 Chinese New Year, the Beijing Women's Prison spent more than 100,000 yuan on fireworks. This huge sum came not only from central government funding, but also from practitioners' slave labour. It is quite possible that it included profit from live organ harvesting.

• I Long for Freedom

  2008-12-20
  When my two older sisters and I were arrested and sent to a detention centre, harshly punished, beaten, and forced to do hard labour, our father's hair turned grey overnight. When one of my older sisters, who was persecuted to the verge of death, was again arrested, our mother cried and shouted bitterly. She attempted to lie under the wheels of a car to stop her daughter's persecution. In a detention centre I was forced to do hard labour every day, and if I didn't finish my work on time, the guards deprived me of sleep. Only a small amount of hard rice noodles, which were cooked without any oil, was provided, and I saw insects floating in the muddy vegetable soup.
