• First Hand Experience of Cruel Brainwashing at the Beijing Women's Forced Labour Camp (Part 4)

  2007-02-18
  After the persecution started, I went to appeal on July 21st, 1999. My employer, the Foreign Trade Ministry of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), tried to force me to give up cultivating Falun Dafa, so that I could be "on the same page" as the CCP. My family also tried to convince me. My oldest brother was the most active of my three older brothers. My father, a history teacher, cooperated with him. Once, they suddenly locked me up in a room and tried many ways to force me to give in. My father used many historical stories about how people had been wrong. My oldest brother is a provincial civil minister. He is in charge of persecuting Falun Gong in that province. He knows clearly the CCP's plan to eradicate Falun Gong. They thought they could save me from disaster and stop me from ruining my reputation and losing profit or ruining my family.

• Atrocities at the First Shandong Provincial Jail

  2007-02-17
  For a long time, the "jail orientation team" at Division 11 was especially used for persecuting practitioners. The guards used criminals to carry out the forceful "transformation" of practitioners. If they did not give up their belief, they were beaten or abused and subjected to all kinds of physical punishment. They were not allowed to sleep for 24 hours or go to the toilet. Practitioner Mr. Zhuang Shijun always rejected the "transformation," so they tortured him physically for a long time. They forced him to sit on a hard wooden stool with ridges and to squat on his heels for a long time. They did not allow him to sleep or even yawn. If he did, they beat him.

• First Hand Experience of Cruel Brainwashing at the Beijing Women's Forced Labour Camp (Part 3)

  2007-02-16
  Mail is private, and laws forbidding others from opening, withholding, or destroying personal mail are common worldwide. But inside the Chinese labour camps, guards can violate this law at will. They have become the first readers of all Falun Dafa practitioners' mail. If they think a particular letter will not "help" a practitioner's brainwashing they will withhold the letter and never tell the practitioner about it. Sometimes they black out certain sentences in a letter before giving it to the recipient. The only contents they allow practitioners to read are those they think can help the practitioners to accept the brainwashing, such as family members not able to bear the pressure under the persecution, asking practitioners to give up, children missing their parents, a husband wants a divorce, their elderly parents are sick, etc.

• First Hand Experience of Cruel Brainwashing at the Beijing Women's Forced Labour Camp (Part 2)

  2007-02-15
  They watched me around the clock and made sure I did not fall asleep or take a nap. They took turns brainwashing me, and they also made me watch videos that slandered Teacher and Dafa. One shift was before midnight and the other shift was after midnight. They loudly claimed that I was "psychologically controlled". In order to confuse me and create self-doubt, they kept saying it over and over, and the guards said it repeatedly at all meetings. On the other hand, they watched my every move, facial expression and mood. They seized on the slightest subconscious move I made to prove their point, that I was manipulated and possessed. After this experience I understood why and how some people had a mental collapse.
