  • The Persecution I Suffered in the Banqiao Forced Labour Camp in Tianjin

    "When I entered the forced labour camp, it was as though I was entering an evil den full of monsters. For Falun Gong practitioners, there is a rule that new prisoners must suffer pain from the very beginning. The camp employed collaborators to talk to me. They came one after another. They also tried to force me to write the "Four-No" letter (no learning, no exercising, no speaking and no spreading of Falun Gong) and to recite the "Four-Rules" (posted on the wall) used to restrain prisoners. If you did not comply with their demands, they would deprive you of sleep, force you to stand for long periods of time, or force you to perform hard labour, sometimes until 1 or 2 a.m."

  • Exposing the Gross Abuse of Women Falun Gong Practitioners at the Guangxi Province Women's Forced Labour Camp, Part 3

    A practitioner remembers that Guangxi Women's Labour Camp is notorious for its rats. Inmates are afraid to stick their feet out at night, as the rats often bite people's toes. Many inmates' toes are injured as a result of rat bites. It is terrifying when you see rats jumping around along the bed frames, at times over your body, face, or head. A rat bit me during my first month there. At that time, I was forced to be in the study group, where I had to memorize the prison rules, do military training, watch brainwashing videos, write responses and do hard labour. I did not finish until 2 a.m.
  • Qinhuangdao Practitioner Mr. Hong Fei's Death After Being Arrested

    Mr. Hong had never thought that he would leave his parents forever after being arrested on March 7th, 2006. Police broke into Wu Wenjin's house and arrested two people inside. Because Mr. Hong was very weak, he was frightened and became physically incapacitated. However, the authorities still dragged him into the vehicle. On the way to the station they discovered that Mr. Hong was dying and could not be saved. They were afraid of being held responsible, so they threw him to the side of a road and used a quilt to cover him. Afterwards, Daonan Police Station officials lied and said that someone had reported his death.
