• Guards and Inmates Collude to Mistreat Falun Dafa Practitioners in the Wangcun Forced Labour Camp in Shandong Province

  2007-06-09
  Prison guards took another Falun Dafa practitioner to a special torture room. Guard Li Gongming (male) cuffed this practitioner with his arms tightly crossed (left hand cuffed to the right corner of a bed and right hand to the left corner), which made the practitioner suffer excruciating pain, and he could not move at all. Because his lower back was twisted, he was unbalanced, but he could not stand or crouch down; it was unbearably painful. Whenever the practitioner cried out, guard Liu Lin (male) would stuff his mouth with rags and kick his buttocks violently. The practitioner was tortured this way for over two hours.

• Chongqing Women's Prison Persecutes Falun Gong Practitioners

  2007-06-08
  Practitioners are watched around the clock by two monitors each during the day, and two at night. The monitors report on the practitioners to the prison ward head. After breakfast, they force the practitioners to watch videos and materials that slander Falun Gong in an attempt to stop the practitioners from practising Falun Gong. If practitioners are not "transformed" after one or two months, the monitors make them read materials that slander Falun Gong until ten or twelve o'clock at night. Practitioners who are not "transformed" after two months are subjected to brainwashing tactics until two o'clock in the morning. The prison monitors also beat practitioners and give them a hard time. If the practitioners continue to follow their beliefs, they are subjected to brainwashing sessions until four o'clock in the morning. Everyone must then get up at six o'clock.

• Young Artist in Shandong Province Becomes Homeless for Persisting in His Spiritual Belief (Photo)

  2007-06-07
  Falun Dafa practitioner Zhou Ning is an outstanding teacher in the Shandong Special Education Polytechnic Institute. He suffered repeated persecution and eventually became homeless.
