• Eyewitness to the Brutal Treatment of Falun Gong Practitioner Ms. Li Xiuying at Heizuizi Forced Labour Camp in Changchun City

  2007-08-17
  I saw a woman lying on the ground. Her shirt was unbuttoned, and her bra was ripped loose and barely covering her breasts. Her trousers were also pulled loose, and she wore no shoes. It looked like she had been dragged on the ground for a long time. She was lying on her back, motionless, with her pale face turned to one side. Her hair was a mess. We could tell that she was still alive only from her slightly moving abdomen. Several guards were making dirty jokes and laughing at the practitioner on the ground. Liu Hu even kicked her and cursed, "Fake death." According to a prison guard, the woman was a Falun Gong practitioner from Tonghua City. I saw her name on a bulletin board: "Ms. Li Xiuying."

• Tianhe Detention Centre: a Place of Brutal Persecution in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province

  2007-08-15
  Every morning, when the gate opens, the cold winter blows in. The prison warden sits in a chair followed by thugs in red vests with guns in their hands. When the warden waves his hand, the head of the cells will run to him with the labour completion report from the prior day. The warden will then call out names. Those who did not finish their work are subjected to whipping. The thugs will use full force and strike the victims with one end of a long gun. You can only hear the sound of strikes and horrendous screams. The victims' bottoms often are beaten black and purple with blood all over. Falun Gong practitioner Wang Jinhua was subjected to such torture. She had difficulty walking afterwards.
