• Jiang Zemin's Regime Resorts to Brutal Means in Its Attempt to Brainwash Charles Li

  2003-12-12
  Experts on China issues have pointed out that forcing a person to give up his belief is the same as forcing him to give up his conscience and give up the dignity of being human. Forced brainwashing is annihilative, psychological persecution; the pain and aftermath is usually more cruel than physical torture. The Jiang regime likes to use psychological manipulation, while Jiang Zemin's persecution of Falun Gong has intensified and magnified this dark aspect. In fact, physical tortures are also used for psychological manipulation, and the goal is to force Falun Gong practitioners to give up their belief and right to practice.

• Jilin Province: Four Years of Atrocious Torture Recounted by Female Dafa Practitioner

  2003-12-12
  The police had arrested me six times since 1999, and caused my family a great deal of pain. Before the police threw me into the forced labour camp, they forced my husband to divorce me against our will. Hence, I had no home to return to after I was released and I became homeless. Later I moved into my mother's home and stayed with her and my young brother for a short period of time, but the police frequently came and harassed us. Sometimes the police would even break into my mother's home in the middle of the night, causing my mother and brother to live in fear and terror. In addition, the police fired me from work in 1999, because I appealed for Falun Dafa, and thus cut off my income. Later, my former employer granted me 150 yuan every month which was only enough to pay for the most minimal living expenses in the urban area of Jilin City.

• The Forced Labour Reeducation Organisations of Shandong Province Actively Promote the Use of Slave Labour for Profit

  2003-12-12
  From February 17 to March 1 of 2003, an 11-member delegation from the Labour Reeducation Bureau of Shandong Province (including Director Li Tinglu) conducted a survey in ten labour camps in Jiangsu Province, Zhejiang Province and Shanghai City. The findings of the survey were unveiled in a survey report. According to the report, "The labour camps of these areas have very actively engaged in forced labour production and have made remarkable profits. The forced labour production has not only provided financial support to the labour camps' operation, but has also brought material benefits to the police staff." The labour camps in the three areas "enjoy positive financial status. Personal incomes of police officers are substantially higher than that in Shandong Province. The bonus for each police officer in Shiliping Forced Labour Camp is always about 20,000 yuan every year."

• The Brutal Tactics Used by the Wanjia Forced Labour Camp Prison Guards to Torture Falun Dafa Practitioners

  2003-12-10
  Practitioners have to endure forced hard labour beyond the tolerable limit. The major task is to fabricate and sew car seat cushions, which makes the practitioners' hands swollen. Another task is to stick eyelashes onto dolls. Each person is assigned 13 dolls a day. Several hundred eyelashes have to be stuck to each doll, one by one, with tweezers. This task gives practitioners headaches and causes eyestrain. Another task is to repair cloth, batches of defective linen, by mending. Each person is assigned 40 metres of linen cloth, and the repairs must be completed before sleeping. Sometimes one has to work until 11:00 p.m. to complete the job. They must get up at 5:00 a.m. each morning, and only 10 minutes are allowed for each meal. The rest of the day is spent working. Prison police Zhang Po said they have to make a 200,000 Yuan profit.

• Violence, Forced Labour and Deception in the First Women's Labour Camp of Shandong Province

  2003-12-09
  Every day, Falun Dafa practitioners were forced to work in the workshop or in their cells. The most frequent type of work supplied by the labour camp was to make ribbons for some factory in Changyi City, Shandong province, Christmas gifts for the Jinan City Arts and Crafts Factory; medicinal packages for the Jinan Donggang Printing Plant; pencils and coloured pens for the Jinan Youai Pen Factory, vases for an undetermined factory, as well as quilts for export. The labour camp took advantage of this type of slave labour to accumulate huge amounts of money. Not only did the guards get a very generous bonus and benefits, but a five-story, fully-equipped and decorated building was constructed between the beginning of 2000 and autumn of 2001, when the most Falun Gong practitioners were detained in the labour camp. The work generated for the imprisoned practitioners detained is endless.
