  • Practitioner Shocked with Electric Batons, Leaves with the Help of Kindhearted People

    This is one female practitioner's experience in Hebei Province. She had gone to Beijing over four years ago to tell people, who had been misled by the government propaganda, the facts about Falun Dafa and expose the persecution about Falun Gong. The authorities had arrested and taken her to a Shunyi County police department in suburban Beijing. She was cruelly shocked with electric batons and almost died from the torture, but left with help from a kind-hearted older police officer.

    During the last six years of brutal persecution and torture of Falun Gong practitioners, my husband Rao Zhuoyuan and I both stood steadfast in our belief.

The CCP destroyed a harmonious family that many others admired before.
  • How the Jilin Province Education System Persecutes Practitioners

    CCP officials in Jilin Province have ordered the administration of all colleges and universities to persecute all practitioners in the system, including taking them to brainwashing centres and trying to "reform" them. Those practitioners who refused to write "guarantee statements" were suspended from their employment using various excuses. This seriously violates related laws and regulations and has created chaos in the colleges and universities. For example, the "policy" of Northeast Normal University is that, in order to adhere to superior's "orders," the university management suspends practitioners from their teaching positions or related duties and forbids practitioner students from attending school.

  • Wang Bo Recounts How the CCP Deceived, Brainwashed, and Used Her, Part 4

    "In fact, the CCP has brainwashed the young generations like this since it came into power. It forces you to surrender unknowingly! It stops you from realising that you should protect your rights! It forbids you from speaking up! It forbids you to have a different opinion! I realised later that according to the CCP's book, protecting the CCP is not "getting involved in politics," but if you do not agree with the CCP, you are "getting involved in politics." The Chinese people have been scared deeply by all the various political movements [of the Communist Party] during the past years."
  • Wang Bo Recounts How the CCP Deceived, Brainwashed, and Used Her, Part 3

    "Later my father witnessed that the torture of practitioners in the brainwashing centre became more and more brutal. One practitioner was deprived of sleep. They were so sleepy that they fell to the floor. Consequently their mouth and teeth were injured. They even wrote sentences slandering Dafa on a practitioner's clothes. There have been many cases like this. My father found himself being deceived. Later, he managed to escape from the brainwashing centre. Fearing that I would escape too, they tightened their monitoring on me."

  • Cruel Persecution of Practitioners at Sichuan Province's Nanmusi Women's Forced Labour Camp

    With encouragement and support of the guards, drug addict criminals thought of many wicked ideas to persecute practitioners. They locked up practitioner Ms. Geng Xiaojun in a dark place and hung her up for one day and night before letting her down. When they saw that she still refused to cooperate, they crossed and folded her legs together, and used a rope to tie her legs in this position for over ten hours. Ms. Geng was only released when she lost consciousness from the torture.
  • Wang Bo Recounts How the CCP Deceived, Brainwashed, and Used Her, Part II

    "In early 2001, at Shijiazhuang Forced Labour Camp, we practitioners did the Falun Gong exercises as a group. The guards thought that I had organised the activity. They didn't treat me the same way they did other practitioners. The others were subjected to physical and verbal abuse, and handcuffed at will. They faked kindness towards me. This form of persecution is quite shameless, because while they lull you into trusting them, they persecute you. You are unaware of their true intention, and eventually they'll put you in a position where you feel better off dead than alive."
