  In 2004, police came to my workplace and deceived me into going to their police station.

They next pressed a metal club against my abdomen and secured it to my chair. At the same time they twisted my arms backward through the horizontal bars on the chair's back and tied my hands to the chair.

• Falun Gong Practitioners Relentlessly Persecuted Under the "Healthy Influence of Education"

  2010-11-19
  Under the facade of kindness, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has come up with a new method of persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. In September 2010, the police held a "Legal System Education Session" (actually a brainwashing centre) to "transform" [forcibly renounce Falun Gong] Falun Gong practitioners. They used a method called the "Healthy Influence of Education." Living conditions are slightly improved than a detention centre, however, the fundamental objective is still the same-- the authorities still try all means to force Falun Gong practitioners to write statements to give up practising Falun Gong, and they threaten to send practitioners to detention centres and to sentence them to prison if they refuse to co-operate.
