How Are the Political and Judiciary Committee and 610 Office in Laizhou City Building a "Harmonious Society"?
2005-10-30Mr. Zhao Facheng and Ms. Ren Zhifang, Falun Dafa practitioners were arrested and detained by the 610 Office for distributing leaflets exposing the persecution on May 4th, 2005.

610 Office Has Falun Gong Practitioners Tortured at Shengli Oil Field Hospital's Mental Illness Department
2005-10-28At the Shengli Hospital some staff members have used the mental illness department to torture Falun Gong practitioners over the past six years.

Using medication to torture practitioners, they hope to "transform" them into real mental patients. These doctors forced practitioners to wear white clothes and white hats while some nurses forced them to take drugs and receive injections every day. They wanted to destroy practitioners' bodies with the unidentified drugs. -
