    Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Lu Chunyun from Liaoyuan City, Jilin Province, donated 60,000 yuan in 1998 to build an overpass. However over the last seven years the police have brutally tortured her for practising Falun Dafa and she is now emaciated. She was once tortured by a policeman who sat across from her and rubbed her ankles back and forth with his hard boots until the skin peeled off. He burned her legs with lighted incense, causing more than 20 large blisters. He poured lighter fluid from a cigarette lighter into a water bottle, lit it and burned her arms, again leaving her with large blisters.

  • Drug Poisoning - A Method of Torture Often Used by the Chinese Communist Party

    In order to quickly "reform" the practitioners, destroy the practitioners’ willpower and justify the persecution, the officials at detention centres, labour camps and prisons where practitioners are held against the law often resort to preposterous tactics. They secretly inject sleeping practitioners with unknown drugs or put poisonous drugs in their food, which results in general malaise, difficulty walking, stunted speech, rapid decline of reaction and memory, and organ damage. Some practitioners suffer from a complete mental breakdown or cannot wake up from comatose sleep and have disordered thinking.

Her husband has married another woman. Her child is still waiting for her to return home! The last time I saw her was around the end of October 1999 at a Beijing railway station. She was followed by the security police from Baishanshi. We both entered the toilet and the police guarded the entrance from the outside. When I left the toilet, the police were still guarding the door at the entrance. I did not know our brief meeting would be a farewell meeting.

Her face swelled from the beating and it was more than 10 days before she recovered. In December 2003, Ms. Yang refused to do forced labour and was dragged outside in the snow. She was forced to stand up or run around. This torture lasted for over 10 days.

They forced him to stop working and didn't allow him to find other work for six months. On September 30th police broke into Ms. Qu's home and took her away. 610 Office personnel handcuffed Ms. Qu to a metal chair, used electric shock to interrogate her, and then sent her to a detention centre.

A good-hearted person informed him and he was able to get away and remains on the run, homeless, to avoid being persecuted. Fuxiang's poor sick husband was left home alone.

One criminal hit me hard on my chest, stomach and back, kicked my genital area very hard, which made me scream.
  • Families of Practitioners Call on the International Community to Pay Close Attention to the Persecution of Practitioners in Shiling Jail, Siping City, Jilin Province

    When the family visited practitioner Mr. Wang Liansu, they saw that his right leg was obviously hurt; he couldn't walk properly. Sources from inside the jail revealed that it was a police guard that injured him, and it was because he refused to give up his belief that he suffered this mistreatment. But the head of the jail, Li Wendong, denied it, and said, "You can go sue wherever; it's not going to do any good." Mr. Wang is also restricted from going to the toilet; a lot of other practitioners are restricted as well. When Mr. Wang was first captured, he was shocked with electric batons on his private parts. It was excruciating. Now he cannot urinate. One cannot imagine the pain.

Mr Dou recalls: "The head of the labour camp saw the scar on my head and asked me about it. I said it was due to a beating. The next day collaborators were sent to threaten me, telling me that I had to say that the scar was due to a boil I had had on my head. Because of the fear in my heart I cooperated with them."
  • Stories of Practitioner Ms. Li Guangqin from Shandong Province During Her Imprisonment

    Ms. Li Guangqin was sentenced to two and half years in Shandong Province Women's Forced Labour Camp. Once a guard was verbally abusing a practitioner. To support the practitioner, Ms. Li Guangqin started to call out, "Falun Dafa is good." Other practitioners followed her and called out together. The labour camp guards wanted the practitioners to write a so-called "education summary" but no one wrote anything. When they wanted to take a practitioner away, Li Guangqin held onto the practitioner and stopped them. Two male guards were called in and forcefully took Li Guangqin and the other practitioner to a solitary confinement cell. Li Guangqin was handcuffed to a heating pipe for three days and nights.
