• An Overseas Chinese Appeal for the Rescue of Ms. Tao Yi and Mr. Bao Jianwei

  2008-05-23
  Several days ago I was surprised to hear that schoolteacher Ms. Tao Yi and her husband, Mr. Bao Jianwei had been arrested by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) authorities in China. I felt grief and indignation, and my conscience wouldn't allow me to remain silent. I was once a colleague of Ms. Tao Yi's, and I remember her being extremely amiable. The students also liked her very much. Several years ago Mr. Bao Jianwei was imprisoned for over three years for practising Falun Gong and speaking out for justice.

• Accounts of Persecution at the Zhongba Forced Labour Camp, Guizhou Province

  2008-05-22
  In the detention centre, if your family paid out money, then you might be given a used toothbrush. If not, then you had to share a toothbrush with 10-20 prisoners, or you wouldn't even have one. Next, everyone must recite the prison regulations. Those with an education and able to read had to memorize them within a week. Those with no education had to recite them in two weeks. If not, the prison guards would deprive you of sleep and force you to recite them all night long. If you refused to recite, the cell head would beat you brutally and sent you to the guards. The guards would put you into a torture position called "riding a motorcycle" (putting you in shackles and then handcuffing you under the shackles). This bends your back at a right angle, and your are unable to straighten up to walk or to sleep. This would last for three to four days, or sometimes even a week or two.

• Bearing Witness to the Cruelties Committed at Masanjia Forced Labour Camp

  2008-05-20
  First I wish to tell you about the heavy forced labour practitioners have to perform. Every day, practitioners have to work for 17 hours. The labour is generally making handicrafts, with most of the products being artificial flowers. Between August and September, we were forced to cut garlic or peel ginger for more than 10 hours a day. Many practitioners' skin broke open and festered. We made the flowers in our cells, which included spray painting. Most of the sprays are toxic, which affected our breathing. Those doing such work also had headaches, vomited and were fatigued.
