The Evil Guangzhou City No. 1 Forced Labour Camp in Guangdong Province
2007-05-08The next day I started a hunger strike against their unlawful persecution. At noon on the third day they pulled me out for force-feeding. They used two sets of handcuffs to handcuff each of my hands on a long bench. They deliberately pulled the handcuffs very tight, making them cut into my flesh. I was in such excruciating pain that my whole body trembled. Five of them sprang on me and tied me up. First, they used cotton strips to tie up my arms. Then they twisted my arms to the back. Two of the monitors used all their strength to pull my arms to make them come close together. Then they tied my arms together in the back. They also tied up my legs and forced my legs into the lotus position (both feet on top of the thighs). My arms had very deep wounds, as did my back. I could not move nor raise my hands -- they simply hung down. -

2007-05-08Ms. Zhu Guilin, 43, has been detained in Baimalong Forced Labour Camp since 2004 and has suffered brutal torture. She has now served her so-called "forced labour term" but the labour camp still refuses to release her. Prisoners often beat Zhu Guilin. In July 2005, because she didn't stand up to do the morning calisthenics, the prisoners dragged her out and beat and verbally abused her, right in front of the guards. Another time she was beaten until she lost consciousness. On April 9th, when her family visited her, they saw that she was covered with wounds everywhere, on her face, her head, elbows, knees, legs, and so on. There were three burns on her hands. Several places on her body had festered. -
Shackled to an Iron Chair for Fifty Days at Panjin Prison in Liaoning Province
2007-05-08On August 18th, 2006, I was transferred from Wafangdian Prison to Panjin Prison. After August 20th, I was shackled to an "iron chair" and force-fed twenty-four hours a day. The iron chair is made of thin, irregularly-shaped steel bars that are welded onto a steel plate. One's chest and thighs are bound by two pieces of eight-centimetre-wide steel scrap, and the hands are cuffed onto the chair. In addition, one's feet are locked up by two steel bars that are connected. There are a total of five locks. Only one's head can move. One sits on three steel bars. In fact, sitting on the "chair" means sitting on three steel bars. As a result, one's buttocks will be torn very soon; one's neck, lumbar and coccygeal vertebrae will be injured to different degrees. -

Corrupt Daqing City in Heilongjiang Province Police Conduct Mass Arrests Before Holidays
2007-05-07From April 21st through 26th, 2007, Daqing police shamelessly arrested practitioners in broad daylight. The Daqing Police force is in reality a criminal organisation and the public is quite aware of this. They collude with gangs and traffic in drugs, guns, ammunition and counterfeit money. They also opened bordellos, secretly support prostitutes, roam the streets, and commit crimes. They are the reason for social instability, and are a disruptive force in people's lives. When arresting practitioners, they disregard procedures, do not explain anything, or identify themselves. After practitioners were arrested, a policeman said, "If you give me 20 thousand yuan, I will set you free tonight. Or, you could give me a second-hand car instead." -
