  • Exposing the Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners in the Chaoyanggou Forced Labour Camp

    The Falun Gong practitioners in the newcomer group were managed by several criminals designated by the guards. They were forced to take off all their clothes before the two hundred detainees, and their clothes and luggage were searched. The Falun Gong practitioners were also forced to admit to the crime of "disturbing social order." Otherwise, it resulted in them being tortured. The Falun Gong practitioners also would undergo torture until they were "transformed" as required by the designated criminals. The torture methods included: remaining in a standing position for long periods of time, "taking a shower," sitting on a bench for long periods of time, and squatting while facing a wall for long periods of time.
  • My Experience of Being Persecuted with "The Same Song"

    On December 31st, 2003, I went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Dafa and unfurled a banner that read, "Falun Dafa is Good." I was then sent to a Detention Centre where I was sentenced to one year of forced labour. I was then detained in the Chatou Forced Labour Camp, where I suffered from various types of torture such as physical punishment, humiliation, and psychological persecution. Among the tricks used to brainwash Falun Gong practitioners, they forced Falun Gong practitioners to sing, "The Same Song." If you refused to sing this song, it would be construed as being confrontational. Those who were "transformed" by force had to sing this very song.
  • Persecution Records from Beijing Women's Forced Labour Camp and Beijing Women's Prison (Part 2)

    After the Chinese New Year, a new official came to my prison team. She told me her thoughts when she monitored me, "All these years, the higher authorities asked us to 'reform' practitioners. After many years, I realized that we should educate and save people, yet we are persecuting you. You are actually very outstanding. We found that once you give up the practice, it is as if your spirit is destroyed. Therefore, some kind police officers on our team do not want to 'transform' you. But because they did not cooperate with the requests from officials, they were transferred to other teams without Falun Gong practitioners. Those who remained are all vicious."

  • Brainwashing at the "Legal Education Centre" in the Weiningying Forced Labour Camp

    The most critical brainwashing methods of the Centre are used. For example, the practitioners are forced to watch TV news, write "homework," take tests and recite 36 laws and regulations each day. They are also forced to watch a Dafa-slandering TV series and sing propaganda songs. Guards gave "law classes" that mostly slander Dafa. Zheng Tao wrote questions after the lecture for practitioners to take back to their room to discuss among themselves. Each practitioner is forced to give his standpoint, which is recorded by the completely brainwashed group head. The answers must conform to the brainwashing standards the Centre considers to be correct.
  • Two Incidents Showing the Inhumanity of the Chinese Communist Party

    In a remote district of Chenzhou City in Hunan Province, there was a young fellow who reached eighteen years old and wanted to join the army to serve the county. At his first physical exam, he easily passed all the tests because he had a very good body and was 6-feet tall. However, during the final exam, which was a political exam involving an investigation of the political background of his family members, he failed, and was considered to be "unqualified" for military service. The reason for his failure was that his aunt practises Falun Dafa.

  • Persecution at Beijing Women's Labour Camp and Beijing Women's Prison - Part 1

    Lawless officials in Beijing have been recruiting and mobilising police from different areas in China to go to Beijing to aid in the persecution of practitioners that travel there to expose the persecution about Falun Gong. The local guards invented inhuman and cruel methods of torture for practitioners that are steadfast in their beliefs. They categorised the secret and vicious torture of practitioners as "education," "reformation," and "salvation." Every practitioner who has ever been detained in the labour camp has suffered under these repugnant tortures.

    According to inside information, Hezhuzhi Women's Labour Camp in Changchun City forces Dafa practitioners to make products as a means to persecute them.

The practitioners have to get up at 5:30 a.m., go to work right after breakfast and work until 8:00 p.m. They are forced to work for nearly 13 hours a day. The poisonous fumes given off from the glue make it difficult to breathe and are damaging to their health. The products are exported to Asia, Europe, America and Australia and are tainted with Dafa practitioners' blood and tears.

  • "The Same Song" of Demons and Collaborators

    "The Same Song", the show and the song, are wicked. It paints a peaceful picture for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regime and is used as a tool by the evildoers to attack the spiritual side of Falun Gong practitioners. In labour camps, Falun Gong practitioners were forced to learn this song. Whenever a Falun Gong practitioner was transformed, the first thing he/she was forced to do was not to write any repentance or the pledge not to practise Falun Gong, but to sing this song together with former practitioners who had turned against Dafa, as well as the police.
  • Guards at Beijiao Jail of Shijiazhuang City Viciously Torture Dafa Practitioners to Disability

    The guards there use all kinds of cruel means to torture Dafa practitioners. The police have isolated all the steadfast Dafa practitioners and kept them under special surveillance.

As a result, several Dafa practitioners were injured.
