  • Falun Gong Practitioners Are Still Being Brutally Tortured at the Tangshan City Forced Labour Camp

    Falun Gong practitioners are still being tortured at the Tangshan City Forced Labour Camp in Hebei Province. On March 18, 2004, practitioners detained there held a group protest calling for the police to stop the physical abuse and respect the human rights of practitioners. Instead of respecting their request, the labour camp police launched another round of brutal persecution and torture of practitioners. Guards twisted one man's hands behind his back, and then used a rope saturated with water to tie him very tightly. At the same time, they raised his hands up to the back of his head. Each rope torture session lasted for about 15 minutes and this man was in his 60's.

    52 year old Ms. Li Guifen, 69 year old Ms. Wu Guoying and 57 year old Mr. Deng Zuxiong suffered from intense police harassment; seriously infringing their freedom; closely monitoring and pressurising them to renounce Falun Dafa; to even ransacking their homes and extorting money from them. This led them to develop illnesses, and under the great pressure each one passed away.

  • Dujun Cement Plant Prison in Guizhou Province Brutally Persecutes Falun Dafa Practitioners

    The Dujun Cement Plant Prison in Guizhou Province requires everyone to write a pledge to give up practising Falun Gong. If practitioners refuse, they are beaten and tortured using such tactics as forcing them to squat for a long time and the "Death Bed". The "Death Bed" requires handcuffing the victim's hands and feet to the four corners of a bed. The victim is unable to move or use the toilet. After being restrained this way for a long time, the person's hips become sore, the back stiffens, and the pain becomes unbearable.

Ms. Zeng Huanzhen died as a result of all this inhumane treatment in December 2004.
  • Three More Falun Gong Practitioners Pass Away as a Result of the Persecution

    The three practitioners died as a result of harassment and interference in their lives. Had the persecution of Falun Gong not happened, they would most likely still be alive today. They were people from all walks of life and three different provinces in China, but they all had one thing in common - they had been deeply touched by the profound nature of Falun Dafa and experienced powerful life-changes, so they would not renouce their faith. They sadly all died as a result.
