  On July 4th, several police officers broke into the home of Ms. Yao Haixia, a Falun Gong practitioner in Shijiazhuang, and arrested her. They ransacked her home and took away two notebooks and two computers. Ms. Yao Haixia, over 30 years old, has been harassed and persecuted several times since the persecution of Falun Gong began in 1999. Whenever there was a so-called sensitive day, officers from the local police station and staff members from the neighbourhood committee would call her or go to her home to harass her. This was immensely stressful for her husband, who is not a practitioner. In 2001, Yao Haixia was arrested and held in a detention centre in Inner Mongolia.

• Covert "Rules and Regulations" Reveal Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Crimes

  2008-08-01
  So-called "reform through education centres" are actually brainwashing centres. They operate outside of the Chinese judicial system. The centres were specifically established to brainwash Falun Gong practitioners. These brainwashing centres, which are controlled by local "610 Offices," have been established throughout China. In almost every city, the CCP established brainwashing centres with names like "Holiday Villa" or "Legal Education Centre" or "Legal Education School." Real life examples of Orwellian doublespeak, these names are carefully crafted to cover up the real purpose of the centres. The staff at the brainwashing centres deprive practitioners of their freedom and torture them physically and mentally.

• Liaoning Province Huludao Detention Centre Officials Conceal Their Crimes with Lies

  2008-07-31
  In February 2008, I was arrested and sent to the Huludao Detention Centre. I did not cooperate and refused to follow the regulations. I went on a hunger strike in protest the persecution. Han Bing, a female guard, ordered several female inmates to watch me around the clock. I was not allowed to talk or sleep. They forced me to eat. If I did not eat, they cursed and humiliated me. Any practitioners on a hunger strike were force-fed twice a day by the guards. Male inmates were ordered to tie the practitioner to a metal chair, bind the hands and feet to the chair with wire, force the head up, and insert a tube into the nose. Because of this brutal treatment, practitioners' nasal cavities and oesophagi bled, and their stomachs were swollen due to the large amount of food forced down.
