  • Account of the Brutal Persecution I Suffered at the Hands of Officials at the Jilin Custodial Station

    "My name is Li Cuiling. I went to visit a Falun Dafa practitioner and the police were in her home. They arrested us both. They sent us to the Jilin Custodial Station. During the three days I was detained there, I didn't eat or drink. I adopted the hunger strike method to show my protest. They force-fed me. Force-feeding is a very cruel torture method. I struggled very hard. The prison doctor, who wore leather shoes, kicked my face. They poured a thick saline water and corn flour solution down the tube. I felt nauseous and suffocated, and I vomited. They use this torture method to try to force Dafa students to give up their belief in Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance."

  • WOIPFG: An Investigation Report on the Death Camp in Sujiatun, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province (Part I)

    According to our initial investigation, there truly exists a large "organ market" in Sujiatun, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, China. It is a systematic procedural practice, which includes building the death camp, detaining the "suppliers" (living Falun Gong practitioners), matching Falun Gong practitioners' organs with people who need them, surgically removing the organs, eliminating the victims' bodies and setting up the hospitals that use these stolen organs. Without any legal procedures, Falun Gong practitioners are taken to the Sujiatun death camp without anyone's knowledge. They are in complete isolation. Their bodies are cremated after their organs are harvested.
  • Interview with Charles Lee: CCP Stops at no Evil in Its Persecution of Falun Gong, Part 2

    "They forced me to work, also a form of physical and emotional punishment. It is customary in Chinese prisons for the inmates to be subjected to forced labour. Detainees have to obey unconditionally, as refusal to obey would lead to immediate severe punishment. At first they didn't make me work because they wanted to make me give up my belief in Falun Gong by forcing me to attend brainwashing sessions. Later they saw that I was not going to give up my belief, so they tried to make me admit guilt and work along with the inmates. They said that all capable criminals must work. I didn't acknowledge the label "criminal," so I refused to work. They made me stand. If I moved they kicked me and verbally attacked and humiliated me in front of everyone."

  • Sadistic Torture of Falun Dafa Practitioners at Heilongjiang Province Women's Prison

    The Heilongjiang Province Women's Prison presents a civilised façade to hide its insidious and malicious nature. The three ward heads often transfer inmates from the workshop to the cells and order them to torture Falun Dafa practitioners. They said, "There are more than enough inmates at the workshop." Zheng Jie said to the practitioners, "If you guys die, we'll throw you over the wall and report that you died from natural causes."
