• Dafa Practitioners Held Indefinitely by Shibalihe Women's Labour Camp

  2003-11-19
  While other non-practitioner detainees in the labour camp were widely praised or received reduced detention sentences for guarding or persecuting Falun Gong practitioners, the Falun Gong practitioners received extended terms of detention. The labour camp generally asks for one month extension of practitioners' terms from the Labour Education Bureau, but the latter usually gives at least three months extension or even longer. Many Falun Gong practitioners have had their terms extended from three to eight months simply because they refused to take part in exams aiming at attacking and defaming Dafa. There is no rule for such extensions at all; the labour camp simply did it at will using any random excuse.

  For the slower workers, they would use what's called thinking re-education (or brainwashing) to prolong physical punishment. Sometimes the punishment could last until 4:00 a.m. in the morning and then they would not be allowed to sleep. For those that did not finish their work, they had to bring their unfinished work back to the dormitory to finish it. Usually they had to work until sometime between 2:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. in the morning in order to finish it.

• The Cruel Persecution at the Shuiyin Homeless Centre in Guangzhou City

  2003-11-18
  They transferred me to the Homeless Centre located on Shuiyin Street, in the Tianhe District of Guangzhou City. Most of the policemen there were very wicked. Inside the Homeless Centre, I heard crying and the noise of electric batons shocking people all day long. The policemen frequently sprayed red-pepper water on people. They refused to give the babies milk or water and when the babies cried due to hunger, they sprayed red-pepper water into the room where the babies and their mums were jailed. They constantly detained many practitioners at one time. Sometimes there were over fifty practitioners detained at once.

• Ruthless Torture of Falun Dafa Practitioners in Banqiao Forced Labour Camp

  2003-11-17
  Mr. Zhang Wensheng was also forcibly held in a brainwashing class for several days. Criminal inmates kept his eyes open with a match so that he was unable to blink. He was continuously beaten in an attempt to force him to swear never to practise again. His body was swollen and he could not walk. He had to be helped to the bathroom. Under such pressure, he was forced to recant his belief. He was beaten again before an official meeting designed to further humiliate and reinforce that the practitioners had recanted their belief.

• Three Years of Hardship and Torture Cannot Change Practitioners' Hearts

  2003-11-16
  After ten days of this, they no longer asked me anything, but routinely tied me up very tightly as soon as I had finished working each day. When I was half-hung, there was no point of support for my whole body other than my tiptoes. This time, after tying me for several days, they said they would let me go to sleep as long as I did not awaken earlier than they did. One day, I was beaten just because I had gotten up before them to fold my blanket. Another time, because I had been caught talking, the person on duty and the prisoners stuffed a dirty rag in my mouth, sealed it with tape, then beat my face and mouth, which became red and swollen. The person on duty also threw some hard-soled boots at my head.

  Once the torture starts the victim's arms instantly become red and swollen, and afterwards the victim is bruised and lacerated, or even crippled.

  Several police officers held him down and pried his mouth open. During the force feeding some people also tickled his armpits in order to force him to comply. The three practitioners appealed the unjust sentence. The Wancheng district court did not hold any new trial but soon issued an order to "maintain the original judgment." The Wancheng District Court did not follow Chinese law in sentencing these Falun Dafa practitioners; instead, it followed the order from Jiang's regime and sentenced the practitioners at will.

• Gruesome Account of Abuse Female Dafa Practitioners Endure in Harbin Drug Rehabilitation Centre

  2003-11-15
  Those Dafa practitioners who were tortured to the brink of losing consciousness were finger printed by prisoners pressing their hands on the pre-written "transformation statements." This is how this Drug Rehabilitation Centre reached the "above 90% transformation ratio" in three days. Prisoners carried the unconscious practitioners out of the basement. After they came to, they were punished by having to squat and were cuffed on the bed and then dragged to the basement for additional torture. Some of the ways they used to torture Dafa practitioners are too horrible to describe.

• Crimes Committed Against Innocent Female Dafa Practitioners in the Beijing Police Hospital

  2003-11-15
  All the prisoners here had one foot chained to the bed. Everyday they were unlocked only for a toilet break in the morning. Police tried to force practitioners to wear the shackles by themselves. Yuan Lin and her cellmates 56 year-old Ms. Wang Guangying and 62 year-old Ms. Qi Bingshu (both from Hefei City, Anhui Province) and one other practitioner refused to wear the shackles. They insisted that they are innocent and that their detention is illegal. The police on duty led by the head guard threatened, "Since you refused to do it yourselves, we are going to chain you for three days and three nights!" The police chained everyone in the room by their leg and handcuffed their hands with two additional handcuffs.
