• Falun Gong Gave New Life to a Retired College Professor - the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Persecution Drove Her to Mental Collapse

  2006-08-10
  I remember that on TV, the government propaganda said, "Falun Gong destabilises society and is harmful to practitioners' mental and physical health, we must eradicate Falun Gong in three months." In China in the past several years, tragedies like this one have happened over and over to many families and individuals. But everyone should ask himself a hard question, "Who is destabilising society? What is harmful to people's health? A healthy Falun Gong practitioner was reduced to a bedridden mental patient who needs constant care for daily living. How could they blame Falun Gong for harming people's health?

• Falun Dafa Practitioners Brutally Beaten and Enslaved by the Changsha Women's Prison

  2006-08-10
  According to prison regulations, the older people above the age of sixty are forbidden from participating in labour work, but the older Falun Gong practitioners are still forced to work. Besides peeling nuts and packing tofu, Falun Dafa practitioners under the "Transformation and Re-education Team" also had to make mats and weave clothes. They worked, ate, drank, excreted and slept together in the prison cells, which held more than ten people. This was both unhygienic and inhuman. Due to the humidity being very high in the room, all the bed sheets were damp. The practitioners were unable to get any rest because of the extreme temperatures during the winter.

• Non-Practitioner Couple Sentenced to Prison Because Wife's Older Sister Practises Falun Gong

  2006-08-09
  Presently in the women’s prison, there are 169 older people whose ages are from 60 to 74. They were sentenced to prison terms of 4 to 12 years. The women’s prison falsely tells outsiders that it implements humanity in its management, but actually the torture of the minds of Falun Gong practitioners is very serious. A Falun Gong practitioner who is 64 years old persisted in her practice, so the police tortured her by way of sleep deprivation. This eventually caused the blood vessels in the elderly lady’s brain to leak, causing hemiplegia and paralysis on one side of the body. According to the medical examiner’s appraisal, as well as the law, she qualifies for release in order to seek medical treatment, but the police didn’t release her until recently, giving all kinds of excuses.

• My Experience of Being Arrested and Persecuted by the Dehui City Police Department

  2006-08-08
  In early March, a practitioner and I were arrested in our home by police and taken to a hotel used to persecute practitioners. Several policemen tortured me. They pulled me up from the ground, pushed me into a big chair and handcuffed my hands behind the back of the chair. I refused to cooperate with them and they started to pour water into my mouth. Two of them used a hard object to forcibly pry open my mouth. One person made an effort to pull my handcuffs downward and pulled my hair. Due to extreme pain, I started to stamp my feet, and then they tied my feet to a chair and continued persecuting me. During this period, they would pause for a while when they felt tired. Meanwhile, a policeman wrote down a list of false charges against me.
