• Account of the Events that Led to the Death of Falun Dafa Practitioner Mr. Zhou Wuliang of Hunan Province in 2001

  2007-03-04
  Mr. Zhou Wuliang, who was over 50 years old, was well liked and respected by the community. In late February 2001, nearly all of the Falun Dafa practitioners from Anhua County were arrested and taken to the Anhua County Brainwashing Centre, where they were imprisoned and persecuted. It was during this period that Mr. Zhou was beaten to death by the police in the brainwashing centre. The police, however, claimed that Mr. Zhou Wuliang had committed suicide by jumping off the building. The so-called investigation from the authorities never happened.

• Elderly Practitioners Received Brutal Treatment in Fushan Town, Shandong Province in 2000

  2007-03-04
  They gathered up sixteen thugs. Two of them beat each Falun Dafa practitioner. They started to torture us at noon. First they used a heavy catalogue to beat us all over our bodies. Then they forced us to stretch out our arms and hold them horizontally while they placed two large steelyard weights on each of our arms. They put other weights on top of the steelyard weights and also put wooden boxes on our heads. If the box on our heads dropped, they would beat us to the floor and then kick us hard. Afterwards they still got us up and forced us to stand with the box on our heads. They asked while beating us, "Do you still want to practise?" We all firmly said, "Yes!"

• The Persecution I Experienced in Beijing's Legal Training Centre

  2007-03-04
  When I was first taken here by Beijing policemen, several armed police officers took me to a cell. An armed police officer monitored me around the clock. I protested the incarceration with a hunger strike. In the first few days, several armed police ordered a doctor from the nearby Tuanhe Hospital to force-feed me. They called the force-feeding "being responsible for your life." The secret police observed me through the door to see if I was fearful, nervous, tired or anxious. Since I was calm, a few days later the secret police showed up. They tried to trick me and convince me with their evil theories and to threaten me. I knew that as a Falun Dafa practitioner I cannot be convinced or tricked by them, no matter how nice they pretended to be, or how tough they looked.

• The Crimes at Dalian City Forced Labour Camp in Liaoning Province

Falun Gong practitioners are among these people and forbidden to talk to others. They live in terror and loneliness all day long.

• The Brutal Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners at the Kaiping Forced Labour Camp in Tangshan, Hebei Province

  2007-03-03
  If practitioners held a hunger strike to protest the persecution, they would be subjected to brutal force-feeding. The tormentors handcuffed practitioners' arms behind their back, to a chair. Several people would hold the practitioner's head and insert tubes through their nose. Then they would feed, little by little, some black material from a small container; all the while chatting with each other. It takes 40 minutes to finish the forced-feeding, which is more painful than delivering a baby. Moreover, in the winter, they would place practitioners in rooms with the windows open and only allow them to wear one sweater. Practitioners often have to sleep on the ground on a cold wooden board.

• First Hand Experience of Cruel Brainwashing at the Beijing Women's Forced Labour Camp (Part 9)

  2007-03-02
  I was persecuted for not renouncing Falun Gong from that day in July 1999 when the Chinese Communist regime banned Falun Gong. Because, seven years ago, the former head of the Chinese Communist regime, Jiang Zemin, gave the order "to destroy them physically, starve them financially and destroy them mentally and spiritually," I lost my basic right to earn a living and live a normal life. I was harmed physically and mentally. Because of the rule "guilt by association," my family and relatives suffered and still suffer from this persecution.

• The Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners by CCP Members at Huanan Institute of Technology

  2007-03-01
  On February 1st, 2001, the Department of Education sent a notice requiring all schools to initiate signature campaigns that targeted Falun Gong. The "million signatures" movement was first spread through the national education system; it was used to influence hundreds of millions of adolescent students. Some students would not sign any petition that was against Falun Gong, so the teachers tried to coerce the students into signing their names under threat of expulsion. Meanwhile, posters, banners, and propaganda attacking Falun Gong and its founder were posted everywhere on school campuses. Chen Zhili also had defamatory content added to high school and elementary school textbooks and various post-secondary school entrance exams.
