• An Open Letter to the Outside World from Practitioners Detained in the Second Prison in Shenyang City

  2006-10-14
  In May 2003, practitioner Huang Gang received strict treatment for doing the exercises. While there, he was beaten by inmates specified by guards. They opened his arms, stuck both his hands in two iron rings attached to the wall, and hung him up. At night, they tortured him with other tools. They held him down on the ground, handcuffed him with iron rings, and tightened them around his wrists. Each iron ring has an iron chain. They held both of his arms over his head, then stretched the two iron chains, causing his body to be stretched very straight and then they secured the chains to the wall. This torture lasted 17 to 18 hours and was extremely painful.

• Why Didn't the Rape Victim Ms. Liu Jizhi Show Up in Court?

  2006-10-14
  Zhuozhou City rape victim Ms. Liu Jizhi was deceived by two people from the Baoding City Procuratorate into not attending court for the trial of the policeman who raped her, He Xuejian. He was not sentenced for raping her, but for indecency instead, since there was no proof. Illiterate Ms. Liu had been told by an official, "You don't need to attend [court]. You are the victim and the government is filing the lawsuit for you. If you would like to get a lawyer we can help you to get one. If you don't hire a lawyer the government will get one for you."

• Details on the Persecution of Practitioners at Wuyuan Forced Labour Camp in Inner Mongolia

  2006-10-12
  Besides using forced labour to torture practitioners, they also force practitioners to attend "brainwashing sessions," where they use despicable, underhanded methods to persecute practitioners. Information about these crimes is tightly sealed, and even regular criminals or non-participating guards do not know what goes on inside. The more-than twenty practitioners imprisoned there are subjected to both physical and psychological tortures that are inhumane beyond words. They have been beaten with electric batons after midnight so that their cries and shouts are not heard. The guards handcuff the practitioner, put a motorcycle helmet on his head, and then shock him with several electric batons.

• Exposing the Torture of Practitioners in Hunan Province Women's Prison

  2006-10-12
  I have been detained in Hunan Province Women's Prison due to my belief in Falun Dafa. Practitioners are locked in solitary confinement for reading Falun Dafa articles, or doing the exercises, and their hands are cuffed behind their backs, with one arm over the shoulder. Sometimes their feet and hands are cuffed together. Guards with electric batons shock practitioners, or hang them from their handcuffed wrists, only allowing the tips of their toes to touch the floor. The solitary confinement cell is very small, and practitioners must eat, drink and go to the toilet in the cell.

• The Persecution Tore Apart My Family

  2006-10-12
  In Guizhou's Zhongba forced labour camp, Falun Gong practitioners are forced to perform slave labour for long periods of time. Food rations are poor quality and scanty. Imprisoned practitioners work from 8:00 a.m until 3:00 a.m. the next morning. Sometimes, practitioners have to work all night, and the same routine continues the next day. All this time, prison guards and inmates constantly beat practitioners. The extended work hours and prolonged sleep deprivation damaged my brain. Now, whenever I think hard, I feel dizzy and get a headache.
