The Persecution of a Female Dafa Practitioner by the police in Linjiang City
2001-11-04They put heavy handcuffs and shackles on her, with her hands and feet locked together so that she was unable to sit, stand, or lie down. Also, her 3,000 Yuan RMB in cash (equivalent to 6 months of income for an average Chinese worker), cell phone, and pager were all seized. Then she was sent to No. 2 Division of the Changchun City Police Department where she endured brutal beatings. -
The Disingenuous "Work and Rest Schedule" of the Heizuizi Labor Camp in Changchun City, Jilin Province
2001-11-04The "Work and Rest Schedule" in that labor camp is only a facade, used to show inspectors or visitors from the outside. That way people from the outside never know about the real situation in the labor camp. This trick is often used by Jiang Zemin and his followers in order to manufacture and spread lies. -
Revealing the Conditions at the Shuanghe Labor Camp in Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province
2001-11-04The guards are well fed, but practitioners can only eat bread made with very crude flours. Sometimes the bread had already molded. The food for practitioners is extremely bad and lacks nutrition; sometimes it is even rotten. The result of eating this kind of food is that the practitioners suffer from severe malnutrition. The guards also cheat their superiors when they come to check: they have the cooks prepare some good food, and tell them to lie about feeding practitioners the good food, with vegetables and meat in every meal. Sometimes the guards bring some watermelons and tomatoes and sell them to practitioners at very high prices. Moreover, the vegetables that practitioners grow themselves are sold to them at very high prices. -
Press Statement Regarding Recent Intensified Persecution in Changchun City, Jilin Province
2001-11-04And what is the ultimate objective of all this torture and humiliation? It is all to extract a signature on a "guarantee" letter saying that the signer will not practice Falun Gong again. Sign the letter and you can be released with no injuries and go home. Refuse and you will likely lose your job, lose your home, be separated from your family, be held in prison, and be tortured, to death if necessary. Why such a glaring difference in outcome between signing and not signing? It seems like such a ridiculous effort for such a small thing. But it is because the piece of paper represents something much more. For the current Chinese regime, as with all totalitarian regimes, victory lies in crushing the human will so one will blindly follow the wishes of the Party or the leader. No one should have to renounce their faith to regain their freedom. -

Exposing the Atrocities of Masanjia Labor Camp (Part II)
2001-11-03During a late night, while I was being punished to bend over, brainwashed practitioner Yang Lin and Yue Shuaimo (released by now) both forced me down by pressing on my back. My legs ached so much as if they were broken. Sweat rolled down my head. There were also other practitioners being punished in the same room. The brainwashed practitioners kept a close watch on me and on other practitioners, and would hit us if there were any slight changes in our squat positions. The punishment usually lasted from day to night, and proceeded to the morning after. Night after night we were not allowed to sleep. -
Talking About Falun Gong with a Leader of the "610" Office
2001-11-03After having a friendly talk with them, the young man from the Department of Organization frankly told me what he really thought, "Actually, I read Zhuan Falun before the start of the persecution. I didn't find anything wrong. It was a very good book. If Falun Gong was not attacked as an XX [slanderous word omitted], I myself would have learned it." -
The Persecution of Falun Dafa Practitioners in Zhaoyuan County, Heilongjiang Province
2001-11-03A six-year-old child lives next door to a practitioner. Every day he fears the police will arrest his mother because the police have often interrogated his family members, asking if their neighbor was practicing, or if there were people visiting the neighbor. Why instill terror in the heart of an innocent child? This serious violation of human rights receives condemnation from more and more kind-hearted people. -

The 610 Office Moves from Backstage to the Forefront and Shows Its True Viciousness
2001-11-03Previously, the 610 Office operated in the background, and most people had either never heard of it or had only vague impressions of it. This organization tended to stay behind the scenes and direct others to carry out its orders. Since the orchestrated, self-deceiving production of the self-immolation at Tiananmen Square was staged on the Chinese New Year this year, the 610 Office has come to the forefront in the persecution. The 610 Offices at all levels in every area seem to be competing with each other to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners, completely revealing their true, evil nature. -
The Vicious Persecutors Also Target Falun Gong Practitioner’s Family Members in an Attempt to Step up the Persecution.
2001-11-03One practitioner's relative was very unhappy with the persecution of Falun Dafa. One day, some policemen came to his home, harassing him again. When he condemned their illegal acts, one policeman argued, "They (practitioners) shouldn't ignore their relatives' feelings. What we are doing is all for their good." This relative immediately refuted this by saying, "Who actually lacks consideration for the family? You have tapped our phone calls and searched for them at home, time and again. How could they call back or come back home? If they came back, wouldn't that offer you the chance to take them away? You keep saying that what you are doing is for their benefit. Is this the way you treat them for their own good?" The police, unable to find any words to defend themselves, left in anger. -
