  • Practitioner Mr. Chen Donglin of Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province, Tortured in Hongze Lake Prison

    Practitioner Mr. Chen was sent to Hongze Lake Prison, where the prison had established tactics to "transform" practitioners. They first of all studied an imprisoned practitioner's background and then asked former practitioners, who turned against Falun Gong under brainwashing and torture (collaborators) to go to the practitioner's home to pretend to comfort his family members. The whole process was videotaped and then shown to the practitioner involved, in an attempt to "transform" that practitioner by taking advantage of his affection for his family. Then they ordered the collaborators to force the practitioner to watch slanderous DVD programes and share their "understandings."

His oesophagus was injured by the plastic tube inserted down his throat and he developed a dry cough and vomited blood. A guard even said, "If you do not insert it properly take it out and insert it again." With a plastic tube inserted down his oesophagus into his stomach for more than ten days, his oesophagus was damaged, and Liu was in a lot of pain. He was on the brink of death and could not be force fed anymore.
  • Current Situation of Some Practitioners in Jidong Prison (Hebei Province)

    The prison officials use many brutal methods to torture practitioners in order to try to make them renounce Falun Gong, such as shocking them with electric batons, forcing them to stay under the burning sun, beating them, and putting them in solitary confinement in cells without sunshine for several months. They have ordered the criminal inmates to surround and beat practitioners and threatened to beat them to death. Some practitioners were deprived of sleep for a long period of time. They also invited people who gave up the practice of Falun Gong to come to the prison to help force the practitioners to give up their beliefs.
