    The brainwashing centre in Linyi City, Shandong Province, publicly known as the "Law System Education Centre," has been viciously persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners. Practitioners held there have been tortured with brutal methods including sleep deprivation, severe beatings, force-feeding with salt water (applied to those who went on hunger strikes to resist the persecution), and constant torture by several people at the same time. All of the practitioners were arrested and their families were fined anywhere between three thousand to five thousand yuan.
  • The Persecution I Experienced at Heilongjiang Province Women's Prison

    Due to my practising Faun Gong, the authorities arrested me in May 2002 and sentenced me to 11 years in prison. On June 6th 2005 I conducted a hunger strike to protest the extension of my term. On June 9th the police conducted force-feeding on me. The prison doctor inserted a stomach tube into me and had a major part of the tube inside the stomach, which caused me stomachaches and gastrectasia. In the mean time, she also used a metal mouth opener to force open my mouth, which caused injuries to my teeth, upper jaw and tongue. The same tube was used on four to five practitioners in a short period of time. There was no disinfection process, but it was merely rinsed with running water.

  • Investigation Lead: Memory Evoked by the Crime of Live Organ Harvesting Performed on Falun Gong Practitioners

    On the morning of January 1st, 2001, large buses filled with Dafa practitioners were dispatched from the Tiananmen Police Station. Armed police stood next to the windows inside the buses. Close to noon, after a long time of driving, the buses arrived at the gate of a detention centre. All of the practitioners were held in rooms, about 20 per room. Someone knocked on all the doors and said, "Young people, come out." One young woman practitioner inside our room, between 20 years and 30 years of age, looked at the rest of us, stood up and said, "I'm young, I'll leave first." Why did they call for young people to come out first? This thought flashed across my mind.

  • Some Details Surrounding the Death of Yang Xiaojie, Who Died from the Torture Suffered in Hebei Province Fourth Prison

    Mr Yang Xiaojie had practised Falun Dafa for many years. He had benefited both physically and spiritually. Knowing that Falun Dafa does not harm any person or country, he decided to step forth to say a fair word so that more people would know the truth about the persecution. However, he consequently was sentenced to eleven years in prison. In prison, police used all means trying to force him to give up his belief, conscience, and basic principles as a human being. Yang Xiaojie went on a hunger strike to protest the injustice. Prison officials force-fed them with milk mixed with a high concentration of salt. Yang Xiaojie had stomach bleeding and vomited blood. Although he was hospitalised, Yang Xiaojie passed away in January 2006.
  • Mental Torture and Murder in the CCP's Persecution of Falun Gong - Part 4 (Photos)

    Jiang Zemin's regime persecutes Falun Gong practitioners not only to physically torture them but also to destroy their ethics. Kong Fansun, a director of "Legal System Education and Training Centre" in Hebei Province, said to practitioners who were "reformed" that, "Practitioners who can torture and scold others are really transformed." "Reformed" people have to show that they value lying, betrayal, cruelty and inhumanity to certify their absolute betrayal of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." That procedure of "reform" actually reforms a person into a ghost. To those people who have dignity, the "reform" is killing their spirits. They suffer much more than physical death.
  • The Seven Year Long Tragedy and Suffering of My Family

    The persecution my husband suffered was just brutal. They began at the knees, whipping upward until they reached the neck and shoulders. Belt buckles were used to beat my husband's back. He was soaked in blood and sweat and his flesh was raw. The pain was unimaginable. Then they asked, "Do you still say you cultivate?" My husband answered "yes." Then, they continued to beat him brutally. My husband's entire back, buttocks, and thighs were one bloody mess. All flesh was exposed, and his entire body was covered with blood. The prisoner kicked my husband's left side very hard and his rib broke. The pain had passed the level he could tolerate. He had no other choice left and against his will, he said in a low voice, "Will not cultivate."
  • Jiang Zemin's Visit to Rongcheng City Sparks Increased Abuse of Local Practitioners

    On the morning of May 8th, 2006, Jiang Zemin, former leader of China and instigator of the persecution, visited the Xixiakou Corporation in Chengshan Town. The Xixiakou Corporation CEO requested the local policemen to arrest and mistreat Falun Dafa practitioners. At 5:00 p.m. on May 7th two security guards were placed at each Falun Dafa practitioner's home, and no one was allowed to leave. At around 8:00 a.m. on May 8th policemen and security guards stormed into the homes of Falun Dafa practitioners. They tried to deceive the practitioners to go out on a tour, and then lied again and said they wanted to take the practitioners to harvest vegetables on Heilu Island. If practitioners refused to go with them, they would drag and force them.
  • Falun Gong Practitioners at the Changlinzi Forced Labour Camp Enslaved and Tortured by Brigade Captain Zhao Shuang

    I was detained in the Fifth Brigade of the Changlinzi Forced Labour Camp on February 17th, 2004. While I was performing forced labour, an instructor waved a piece of paper in front of me, saying, "the "guarantee letter" you wrote isn't right." Taking a quick look at it, I replied, "If it's no good, why don't you tear it up?" The instructor used two electric batons to shock me until the batteries went dead. There were black spots and blisters all over my body, from my neck to my thighs. Then, accompanied by the sound of their laughter, Zhao Shuang pinched my testicles through a plastic bag, causing me unbearable pain.
