• Seven Falun Gong Practitioners from Tianjin Arrested While Assisting an Imprisoned Practitioner's Family

  2010-03-30
  On March 4th, 2010, seven Falun Gong practitioners were arrested by local police while looking after three children whose parents were not able to care for them. They were then detained at the Wuqing Detention Centre. Practitioner Ms. Wei Lianhua was arrested in 2008. She was sentenced to four years in prison and is currently being held at Tianjin Women's Prison. After his wife was prosecuted, Ms. Wei's husband went through tremendous hardship: he lost all hold on reality and was not able to recognise anyone. He would walk around without any clothes on, did not eat or sleep, and was prone to physical violence with anyone he saw. He was sent to a mental hospital.

• Falun Gong Practitioners Beaten and Forced to Take Unknown Drugs in Jiangsu Women's Forced Labour Camp

  2010-03-30
  I have witnessed the cruelty and ruthlessness of the guards in that forced labour camp. Practitioner Ms. Zhang Fengying was healthy before the persecution. While she was in a forced labour camp, guards claimed she had high blood pressure and forced her to take drugs, which afterwards resulted in open sores on her skin. Other practitioners became swollen after taking the same drug. The guards still ordered the drug offenders to administer the drug. Ms. Zhang Yuhua, a physician, was tortured with the "flying the airplane" technique in the yard. They also grabbed her by her hair and hit her head on the floor, pinched her neck, and kicked her, resulting in many scars on her neck.

Falun Gong cured my illness, but you came to my house to bother me repeatedly. Why didn't you come when I was sick?" The police officers had nothing to say and eventually left.

• Falun Gong Practitioner Subjected to Force-Feeding at the Shenyang City No. 1 Detention Centre, Liaoning Province

  2010-03-29
  I was arrested with other practitioners in August 2009. A policeman informed us that if we wanted to practise Falun Gong, we could just do it at home. Then he said, "As soon as you write a guarantee statement that you are not going to practise Falun Gong anymore, I'll let you go home." I refused to write such a statement. I started a hunger strike. Police tied me to a bench with the belts across my chest, thighs, and legs. They tied them so tight that I could barely breathe. They inserted a force-feeding tube into my trachea through my nose, which made me cry out in pain. They then stuffed something into my mouth so that people wouldn't hear me. They were afraid that I could not breathe, so they left a small gap for air to enter my mouth. They started force-feeding me, and I felt very sick.

• 63-Year-Old Mr. Mei Chunfu Dies as a Result of Persecution

  2010-03-28
  Mr. Mei went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong in October 1999. The police arrested and detained him in the Qi County Detention Centre. The guards tortured him with tightening the ropes and ankle shackles; they punched and kicked him, locked him up in a small cell, and deprived him of drinking water. Because Mr. Mei persisted in practising his faith and did not accept the brainwashing, the guards locked his shackles together with handcuffs, which meant that he could not stand up or sit down, and he had to stay in a very painful bent position. In 2004, Mr. Mei was sentenced to three years of forced labour in the Kaifeng City Forced Labour Camp. The persecution left him ill and weak. After his release, the police never left him in peace, and kept harassing him at home. Mr. Mei never fully recovered, and died in 2009.

  The labour camp subjects practitioners to forced labour. The older practitioners are sent to the sweet shop to wrap sweets, and have to meet a high hourly quota.
