    East City Detention Centre in Beijing was suspected of torturing a female Dafa practitioner to death in November 2001.

Due to my persistence in Dafa cultivation, I was put into a cell at the East City Detention Centre on November 5, 2001, and learned from the inmates there that a female Dafa practitioner had just been persecuted to death.

Another officer stopped him, saying, "Don't leave any evidence [because her face will show the torture]." I realized they were afraid of having their crimes exposed.

  • Murder, Disfigurement, Torture and Enslavement: Longshan Forced Labor Camp Commits New Crimes in Order to Qualify as a "Provincial-Level" Camp (Photos)

    A civic-level forced labour camp insanely and inhumanely tortures Falun Gong practitioners in order to accumulate "achievements" so as to meet the upgrade criteria. This clearly demonstrates that under Jiang's policy to annihilate Falun Gong, brutally persecuting Falun Gong practitioners not only becomes a criterion for promotion for personnel in public security, procuratorial organs, people's court and judicatory organs, but also a criterion for the promotion in status for forced labour institutions.

I was arrested and a policeman put my feet into a washbasin of very hot water (which is not the thing to do and will aggravate the frostbite and cause severe injury).
