• Elderly Dafa Practitioner Ms. Liu Meizhen Tortured to the Brink of Death at Liaoning Province Women's Prison

  2007-04-03
  On March 9th, 2007, the family members of 66-year-old Falun Dafa practitioner Liu Meizhen received a call from the Liaoning Province Women's Prison to take Liu Meizhen home. At that time, Ms. Liu was already extremely weak due to the torture she endured, and was unable to walk. The horrific environment at the prison had worsened Liu Meizhen's already-poor health. Because she could not control her bladder, the prison guards called her family and asked them to bring more toilet paper. She also lost several teeth and could not eat the cornbread and pickled vegetables at the prison.

• Falun Dafa Practitioner Mr. Zhang Hongquan of Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province Persecuted to Death

  2007-04-03
  I was heartbroken when I read the news that Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Zhang Hongquan was persecuted to death in Mudanjiang City Prison. Yet another Falun Dafa practitioner has lost his life in the persecution carried out by the Chinese Communist Party. Mr. Zhang was stripped of his clothes and put in freezing water for several hours in winter. He walked unsteadily ever since then. The guards incited the prison inmates to beat him severely. When I saw him, he was unable to move one of his hands due to the beating, and his hands were full of blood blisters. Later, he went on a hunger strike with no food or water for 10 days to protest the persecution. The prison doctor sent him to the prison hospital and force fed him with concentrated salt solution. His suffering from the force feeding was so great that he vomited continuously.

• The Persecution at Kaiping Women's Forced Labour Camp in Tangshan City, Hebei Province

  2007-04-02
  I am a Falun Gong practitioner and I was arrested by the police and sentenced to three years forced labour. To protest the unjust persecution I started a hunger strike. Six days after I started the hunger strike, I was force-fed with heavily salted water. Every time they did it, I threw up. It was so salty and painful. On the ninth day, I was force-fed twice and threw it all up. After I threw up the first time, Yan Hongli said "It doesn't matter if you do it again, the camp has enough salt for you!" and she told a criminal prisoner to seal my mouth with her hand. But after the next force feeding, the brine still came out from between her fingers. They were scared and kept far away, and didn't try it again until my lips turned black and my face turned pale.

• Seven Practitioners from Beijing, Hebei, Shandong and Hunan Provinces Died as a Result of the Persecution

  2007-04-02
  Ms. Bai went to Beijing four times to appeal for justice for Dafa. In October 2000 she was arrested and sentenced to four years in prison. After Ms. Bai's family members sent 15,000 yuan to the authorities, the sentence was changed to suspended for three years, meaning she could serve the term outside of prison. Ms. Bai was released and returned home in August 2001. During her nine months of imprisonment, the authorities had severely tortured her mentally, which led to her hands constantly shaking. The police officers continued to harass her even after she returned home. The authorities extorted money from her husband during her imprisonment. The entire family has been under severe mental harassment. The relentless pressure of the persecution eventually led to Ms. Bai's death on February 2nd, 2007.

• A Practitioner Recounts the Brutal Persecution by Police in Shenqiu County, Henan Province

  2007-04-02
  On October 12th, 2000, police arrested me because I would not give up practising Falun Dafa. The police head, Lu Feng, ordered me to write a "Repentance Statement." I refused to write the "Repentance Statement," so they sent me to the detention centre. During the interrogation, Lu Feng brutally tortured me and dispatched someone to monitor me. He forbade me from sleeping. The police called this torture the "enduring eagle." After a long time of torture, one's mental state collapses, and feels worse than death. The police saw me reciting Dafa articles and added a shackle weighing 19 kilogrammes (42 lb.) on me. I wore it for one month. This is the heaviest shackle in the jail, usually put on criminals to be executed. When I once spoke to another practitioner, they added another handcuff to the shackle. Beating practitioners is common in jail.

• Dafa Practitioners Brutally Tortured at the Langfang City Police Station and Detention Centre in Hebei Province

  2007-04-01
  Officers from the Langfang City Police Station have tortured Dafa practitioners in many inhuman ways. Then the policeman took me into that room, and put me on a big metal chair. A young policeman came toward me while holding a high-voltage electric baton. It was rectangular shaped with two needles. When he put the needles on my body, it made a crackling noise. It felt like two big needles went through my body at once. He shocked everywhere on my body; when it got to spots like my armpits and below, the pain was really almost impossible to bear. This inhuman torture continued for two whole days and nights.
