  • My Brother Was Tortured to Death Within Ten Days at Gangbei Prison

    After being held in prison for 11 years, I was released on medical parole on April 26th, 2013 because of ill health. On arriving home, I was told that my younger brother, Mr. Li Xiwang, died ten days after he was taken to Gangbei Prison. I was told that my brother suffered what is called the “anchor torture.” In this torture method the person's legs are kept straight and fixed, held upright by iron pipes, while the hands are shackled to the ground. The back is arched and the legs are immobile. My brother was anchored for over ten hours (the maximum time one can endure this torture method is two hours). He was found dead at midnight.
  • Falun Gong Practitioner Suffers Permanent Nervous System Damage from Forced Administration of Drugs in Prison

    Mr. Dong Yanfa, 55, used to suffer from heart disease, but he became completely healthy after practising Falun Gong. In July 1999 the Chinese Communist regime violated the country's own constitution and deprived its people the freedom of faith by launching the brutal persecution of Falun Gong. Mr. Dong was since arrested and detained in the Ji'an City Detention Centre five times for persevering in practising Falun Gong. Two police officers forced an unknown drug into his nose. He lost all feeling in his lower body and even lost the ability to speak. He now has limited use of his body and to this day he continues to suffer from the damage caused by the drugs.
  • Mr. Cao Jingyu Dies After Enduring Seven Years of Imprisonment

    Mr. Cao Jingyu, from Wuhan City, Hubei Province, was imprisoned for seven years for his belief in Falun Gong. He was tortured and force-fed during the incarceration. He was forced to do slave labour during the day and subjected to physical punishment at night. Upon his release, agents from the local 610 Office (an organisation of special agents just for persecuting Falun Gong) continued to harass him at home, and his health deteriorated further.

  • Falun Gong Practitioners Continue to Be Detained and Tortured in Dalian Rehabilitation Centre

    The Dalian Rehabilitation Centre, formerly known as the Dalian Forced Labour Camp, has released several of its detainees. However, Falun Gong practitioners are still being held in the centre and tortured. Although the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) claims that it is shutting down the forced labour camp system, practitioners are still being persecuted in other locations such as brainwashing centres and prisons. Since 2008, the Dalian Forced Labour Camp in Liaoning Province has been notorious for the methods of torture it uses on practitioners. To cover up its crimes and continue persecuting practitioners, officials at the camp changed the name to the “Dalian Rehabilitation Centre.”
  • Outstanding Teacher Taken To a Brainwashing Centre in Laizhou City, Shandong Province

    Mr. Zang Kuidong, an outstanding teacher from Laizhou City, Shandong Province, was arrested on May 28th, 2013, for distributing materials explaining the facts about Falun Gong and was detained for 15 days. Upon returning home he was no longer allowed to teach his classes and was taken to a brainwashing centre by the local 610 Office (an organisation of special agents just for persecuting Falun Gong) and police on July 2nd.
  • The Brutal Torture I Endured at Masanjia Forced Labour Camp

    I was arrested in 2005 for posting materials exposing the persecution of Falun Gong in public areas. I was later taken to Masanjia Forced Labour Camp in Liaoning Province. I refused to do slave labour and was thus frequently tortured by the guards, who were very brutal. I began a hunger strike to protest the persecution. Guards pressed hard on my hands, which were shackled to the bed, and forced a tube into me every day. I was in excruciating pain. After a while, my nose, eyes, and face became swollen and they could not push the tube into my nose. Instead they inserted the tube directly into my throat. After force-feeding, I was hung up in a slanted position.
  • More Information about Mr. Yang Zhonggeng's Death in Police Custody

    Mr. Yang Zhonggeng, 38, was a Falun Gong practitioner from Ruian City, Zhejiang Province. He was arrested on June 24th, 2013, and is believed to have been beaten to death within 4 days after his arrest, on June 28th, by police. When Mr. Yang's family viewed his body they noted that it was covered with bruises and one of his legs was black and blue. An autopsy was performed and the medical examiner said that Mr. Yang did not die as a result of physical trauma. Mr. Yang's internal organs were removed and refrigerated for further investigation. His body was cremated. Although it appeared without a doubt that Mr. Yang was beaten to death, nobody dares to admit it.

    Young Wang Xin had two older sisters. The younger sister died from shock when the police broke into their home, while the older one was forced to leave school and stay at a forced labour camp for two years. Wang Xin was sent to a detention facility, and he wailed and cried every day, telling the adults, “I just want to go home!” Wang Xin is the Wang family's only son. His parents owned a small shop, and both practise Falun Gong. After the persecution began, the parents were arrested, and the family lost their source of income.

  • Witnessing Prison Guards Persecute Practitioners to Insanity

    I was shocked to learn on the Minghui website about a talented Qinghua University student named Ms. Liu Zhimei. She was persecuted to insanity in a prison under the Chinese communist regime. I witnessed other practitioners being persecuted while I was imprisoned over the last few years. One was 60-year-old Ms. Chen Xiaoyue. Due to the intense persecution, Ms. Chen was “reformed” [forcibly renounce Falun Gong] by the communist regime and gave up her faith in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. The police then forced her to help reform other practitioners and torture them if they refused to cooperate. Ms. Chen was later diagnosed with "manic psychosis."
