Officer Liu Zhongmei brazenly yelled to practitioners, "Our responsibility is to persecute you to death."

  • Please Follow Closely Harbin University Practitioner Mr. Zhao Yan's Situation

    "I became very anxious when I heard the recent news that Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Zhao Yan was arrested and will have to stand trial. While Falun Dafa was being slandered in the media, Mr. Zhao remained firm in his beliefs. The detention centre police stationed at the university continually harassed us. They confined us to "brainwash" all of us against Falun Gong. The police also persecuted him while he was imprisoned in the detention centre simply because he practised publicly with other practitioners. I can scarcely remember how many tribulations he has had to endure."

  • My Organs Were Examined at a Labour Camp in 2001

    "I had two physical examinations while detained at a labour camp at the beginning of 2001. I was handcuffed and taken alone in a police vehicle by guards to Guangzhou City Military Region Hospital in Guangdong Province. My liver, gallbladder, and kidney were x-rayed. Without knowing the medical results, I was taken back to the camp. Today, as I recall my physical examinations when I was in the labour camp, I always felt that there was some unspeakable purpose in those examinations. I don't know for sure whether they had something to do with harvesting organs from living practitioners or not."

Four police officers handcuffed Xiao Deng with her arms behind her back and tried to force her to kneel down. When Xiao Deng refused to do so, they held her four limbs and pushed her on the ground. They kept slapping her face and viciously beat her throat, making her throat swell and until she was unable to speak. When they still didn't get what they wanted, they changed to another torture.

  • Ms. Zhang Lixin's Persecution Experiences in the Jilin Women's Prison

The prison officials told me, "All Falun Gong practitioners who come here must write "three statements" (to renounce Falun Dafa). No sleep is allowed if these are not finished. If you still refuse to write, all prisoners will be forced to do long-term standing with you. You will be beaten and verbally abused by the prisoners until you write all three statements." I patiently told them, "Falun Gong teaches one to cultivate the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance. We are innocent."
