  • Methods Used by Jilin Prison to Torture Falun Gong Practitioners (Drawings)

    As soon as a Falun Gong practitioner is detained in Jilin prison, he is sent to a zone in which there are around ten persons. Then he is sent to a sub-zone. At the sub-zone, the "educational instructor" assigns some prisoners to monitor this practitioner and "transform" him. Three to four prisoners work in shifts around the clock. Except when it is time to have meals, use the toilet, wash or sleep, the only thing the practitioner can do is "sit on a board." Sometimes, one is forced to do so until after 10:00 p.m. or even until midnight. Meanwhile, those prisoners who are responsible for watching him can beat and curse him at will.

  • Man or Beast? Revealing the Root of Forced Labour Camp Brainwashing

    The police's mentality is split. On the one hand, they have to employ their animal nature to brainwash the practitioners. Yet, on the other, they disguise the evil with a false front of human nature to lead practitioners astray. To sing the Same Song, they present their human nature for others to see. They force themselves to believe that beating up and yelling at people every day is a form of kindness done for the tortured person's own good. They think that by implementing the "law" (though in fact the persecution of Falun Gong is entirely illegal) they can avoid personal responsibility. In reality, however, they are very clear who is in contempt of the law. They cling to the communist heaven-on-earth illusion despite its inherent evil nature.
