  • Behind the Façade of the Staged Singing and Dancing in Henan's Shibalihe Forced Labour Camp Lies Savage Torture

    The police at the labour camp seriously violate the law by opening and withholding practitioners' mail and packages that their families send. Practitioners do not have the freedom to correspond. They are not even allowed to wear watches. Practitioner Chen Yujing's family sent her a watch and other gifts, which were all withheld. The police can cancel practitioner's visiting hours at will, and visiting family members are turned away...On the day when the practitioners were locked up, viciously beaten and hemorrhaging from the savagery, in the courtyard, the labour camp criminals were made to sing and dance for the video taping of a sham happy scene for TV propaganda: showing the "tender loving nurturing" by the labour camp during the transformation of the practitioners, and the "wonderful life" the practitioners have while in the camp.
  • Brutal Crimes Are Being Committed Against Dafa Practitioners in Jilin Prison

    Staff member Li called me for a talk, and I told him that I had been tortured. He yelled at me "Who tortured you? Who witnessed it? If you don't accept our management, we will force you to!" I told commanders Zhao Jin, Wang Jiankong and Chen Xin about being tortured. They said that using force in prison is certain, and threatened me not to tell anyone...Currently there are more than 100 Dafa practitioners detained in the Jilin prison. Another 200 plus Dafa practitioners are being detained in the Changchun Tiebei Prison.
  • More About the Death of Falun Dafa Practitioner Jilin Province Ms. Li Shuhua and the Devastation of Her Family

    When the families saw her body, it did not look like she died of hunger at all. Even though her face had a lot of make-up on it and her clothes had been changed, they still could see that there were bruises on one side of her face and there was broken skin on two places on her face. One side of her skull was caved in and there were some lumps on the back of her head. Besides that, she was extremely thin. After dissecting her body, the coroners found over 5 kilograms of blood in her abdominal cavity. The blood hadn't congealed and it was still liquid. The coroner claimed that the blood was menstrual blood. Anyone with any medical knowledge would know that this was a lie intended to deceive the family. The family doubted the reason given as the cause of her death, so they wanted to take some pictures of her body. The Public Security Bureau not only refused to allow the family to take pictures of her, but also had the police watch her body until her cremation.
  • Savage Torture in the Women's Team of Dalian Forced Labour Camp

    There were 130 practitioners illegally detained in the women's team of Dalian Forced Labour Camp. From 5:00 in the morning until 8:00 in the evening, they were forced to perform slave labour every day. The Chinese law concerning forced labour stipulates that shifts cannot be more than 6 hours per day. At the same time, policemen there subjected practitioners to various types of savage torture in order to force the steadfast Dafa practitioners into giving up Falun Gong.
  • Female Practitioner's Personal Account: "Falun Dafa Cured My Terminal Disease but the Persecution Devastated My Body"

    Because I refused to give up my faith in "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance," I was under close surveillance. Later on, I twice solemnly stated to the deputies that I believe in "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance," yet I received more hideous tortures. They shocked me with electric batons to the point that I fell unconscious to the floor with my body twitching and twisting. They tried to force me to give up my belief. In the process they mentioned Jiang often. They told me, "Jiang Zemin told you not to practise Falun Gong already and you better follow orders. If you practise you break the law. How can an arm overpower the leg?"
  • Vile Torture Used on Dafa Practitioners on a Daily Basis in Dalian City Labour Camp

    In the first few weeks in Dalian Labour Camp, the guards tried to destroy us with heavy labour. They ordered me to take rocks (picked out from the coal) back to the mine shaft. They required me to move 120 wagons full of rock each day and they said I had to run. I collapsed on the first day, because I was too weak, but I had to do the same heavy labour the next day. Sweat poured out of my body. I was covered with salt crystals from the sweat. I felt dizzy under the baking sun. But I tried to be strong and never lowered my head.
  • Catalogue of Gruesome Cruelties Used In The Harbin "Drug Rehabilitation Centre"

    The basement, which holds over one hundred people for work during the day, becomes one of the main places for persecuting Dafa practitioners at night. One only has to say the word "practice" and they will be dragged into the basement and beaten up. Once this is done, all their hair is cut off. Sometimes the hair is entirely cut off leaving the scalp exposed. Other times, they cut off all but one strand of long hair. The policemen's shouting, the noise of the electric batons being used to shock people, and the criminals' cursing, kicking, and beating people (sometimes using square clubs) makes the dark and damp basement even more ghastly and horrifying.
  • Exposing the Crimes of the Third Detention Centre in Changchun City

    Why is force-feeding considered brutal and intentional torture? Please think about it. Why is nearly saturated salt water used? Why were practitioners force-fed on their first day of hunger strike? According to medical regulations, people have to be checked for certain diseases before feeding, such as flu, heart disease, and inflammation of lungs and stomach, which are diseases that prohibit feeding. However, the police never check practitioners' health. The head of the management division, Han Xinguo, shouted: "You are not going to the hospital even if you are dying from the force-feeding".
  • Ten Dafa Practitioners Face an Illegal Trial with Righteousness in Anhui Province

    During the trial, fully armed police filled both inside and outside of the courtroom. The "610 Office" specifically arranged news media to come interview, attempting to cook up more news to slander and frame Dafa. However, the ten practitioners were very steadfast and righteous in the courtroom, despite the fact that they were not given a fair hearing. They shouted in unison "Falun Dafa is great! Falun Dafa is a practice! Restore the reputation of our Teacher!"
  • Elderly Woman Goes Blind Due to Appalling Conditions in Shuangcheng Brainwashing Centre

    Female practitioner Ms Wang Benying was of old age. She became blind because of the long detention. The guards said, "There are no vegetables and the food is not nutritious, thus people will become blind. Hurry up and write a 'Guarantee Statement'. Only if you state that you give up with Falun Gong will you be released." Ms Wang Benying's family wasted no effort to get her released for medical treatment, but without positive results. The guards refused to release her. One of the guards named Wang Peng said, "We will not be held accountable if someone leaves the room on her last breath and died outside the door."
  • Dafa Practitioner's Business Devastated by Xingyang City Police

    On July 5, 2000, a gang of policemen suddenly burst into the book shop run by Zhang Xiaorong's husband Li Qinjun and asked him: "Are you still practising Falun Gong?" "Yes," answered Li. So they forced him to where his wife and another 6 practitioners were detained, and put him under detention for 8 months too. Li's son had to take turns staying in different relatives' homes during that period.
  • The Lawless Officials Who Persecute Falun Gong Are Despised by the People

    In the beginning, when Jiang Yongjian first came to Taoxu Town and started his term as Party Secretary, he had said viciously, "If any officials are found out to be corrupt, I will cuff his hands [meaning throw him into prison]." Just before he finished his term, his own "hands" were cuffed because of rampant corruption. The one who had made a great effort to label himself as a "clean" official eventually became a prisoner of his own doing.
  • Police from Mudanjiang City Recently Kidnapped Over a Hundred Dafa Practitioners

    Since the end of October, Aimin District Public Security Sub-bureau, Mudanjiang City, has been frantically arresting Dafa practitioners. At present the situation is urgent. It is known that over 100 people have been arrested, and many of them had been arrested illegally several times before. Now most of these Dafa practitioners are imprisoned in Mudanjiang Detention Centre located at Xinglong Town. Because the perpetrators do not wish to have their deeds exposed, they have blocked all reporting of this event. The situation inside the detention centre is not clear.
  • Beijing West District Detention Centre Tortures Dafa Practitioners

    They then shocked her head and the other side of her body. Upon seeing that she was not frightened, the police brought buckets of cold water and poured it down the front of her clothes. She was so cold and leaned forward, so the police pulled back her collar to pour water down the back of her clothes. Finally, they poured a bucket of cold water onto her head. She was trembling badly from the cold. She condemned the police for their behaviour. The police interrogated her for over two hours and sent her to the cell after midnight. They did not allow her to sleep and refused to let her change out of her soaked, freezing clothes.
  • 21st Dafa Practitioner Tortured to Death in Daqing Forced Labour Camp

    Zhang Mingzhu was also one of the disciplinary guards directly responsible for the murder of another practitioner He Huajiang. Because Zhang was highly "accomplished" in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners, he was promoted to Assistant Brigade Leader of Daqing City Forced Labour Camp. Zhang once declared, "There is no legal consequence for killing [Falun Gong practitioners]." Daqing City Forced Labour Camp is currently sealing the records about Mr. Lu's death. When asked about Lu Bingshen's death, the response was the following: "Mr. Lu Bingshen died of heart attack."
