  • Police in Shanghai Refuse to Allow Hong Kong Resident Ms. Zeng Aihua to Meet with Her Lawyer

She has been detained in the Pudong District Detention Centre in Shanghai for more than six months, charged with the "crime" of "spreading Falun Gong materials." At the beginning of October 2006, the Pudong District Procuratorate sent her case back to the Pudong Police Department because there was not enough evidence. Currently, the police from the Pudong District are trying to stop the lawyer from meeting with Ms. Zeng.
  • Repeatedly Harassed, Elderly Practitioner Ms. Li Chaorong, from Beiliu City, Guangxi Province, Reported Missing for Several Days

    73-year-old Ms. Li Chaorong is from Guangxi Province.

Her harassers include officials from the Beiliu City Public Security Bureau, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Political and Judiciary Committee, the 610 Office, the Songhua Police Station, and the Beiliu City Detention Centre.

  • Crimes Committed by the Chinese Communist Party in Sanmenxia City, Henan Province against Dafa Practitioners

    Because Ms. Zhang Zhunli practised Falun Gong, police officers from the Shan County Police Department beat her to death. According to her family, when they arrested Ms. Zhang, she was very healthy and had no illnesses. Within two days of her arrest, she was covered with injuries from being beaten. In the end, she lost consciousness and they threw her out of a window from the second floor. They said that she jumped and committed suicide. The police officers made up a false scenario and transported her body to the Shan County No. 2 Hospital for emergency treatment. But in fact they transported a dead body.
  • Brainwashing Centre in Suining County, Jiangsu Province Tramples Justice by Persecuting Good People

    So-called "attending class" at the brainwashing centre is to force practitioners to listen to, watch and read propaganda against Dafa and to sing Chinese Communist Party songs. So-called "doing exercises" is to get the practitioners out of the cell at 6:00 a.m. and have them run two laps in the yard first. Then they are forced to walk military style, with their legs extending straight out and lifted at a 45 degree angle. If one cannot do it well, he is whipped from behind. If practitioners refuse to comply, the punishment can range from being beaten to being dragged into the "repentance room" where one would be handcuffed for up for 48 hours. The brainwashing centre forces practitioners to do hard labour planting vegetables.
  • Third Appeal Letter Requesting Legal Assistance from Ms. Wang Bo's Grandmother

    My daughter Liu Shuqin, son-in-law Wang Xinzhong and their daughter Wang Bo were arrested, beaten and taken to forced labour camps many times for refusing to renounce the practice of Falun Gong. Liu Shuqin lost control of her bowels due to torture; Wang Xinzhong could not move his back because of the beating and even young Wang Bo was sentenced to three years of forced labour and finished college under close police supervision. They were arrested again on July 27th, 2006. So far, they have been detained for over four months. To our dismay, it is impossible to find a lawyer who would ask for a non-guilty verdict when representing Falun Gong practitioners.

  • How the 202nd Squadron at the Shijiazhuang Forced Labour Camp in Hebei Province Persecutes Practitioners

    The 202nd Squadron was the centre for detaining and torturing practitioners. Those primarily responsible were: Bian Shuqiang, Zhang Li, and Dong Guoxin. They utilized various methods to fiendishly torture us, such as repeatedly airing anti-Falun Gong propaganda forcing us to view drawings slandering Falun Gong, using sleep-deprivation, forcing us to squat for long periods of time, shocking us with electric batons, hitting us with sticks, barbarically force feeding us, and forcing us to overwork so as to damage our health.
  • Misleading News Published to Defame Falun Gong

    Zhao Liangying, the author of the defamatory article, is a reporter for the Hubei Daily newspaper. It's ironic that the Ministry of Justice declared Zhao Liangying as a model of "Law Popularization and Individual Advancement" for his actions in defaming Falun Gong and inciting hatred. Nowadays when people in China talk about the CCP, they say, "I know what shamelessness is, but shamelessness like this is unprecedented."

  • Stop the Brutal Persecution of Dafa Practitioners at the Masanjia No. 2 Women's Forced Labour Camp

    On August 30th of 2006, a group of Masanjia No. 2 Women's Labour Camp guards moved into the labour camp. They began using various torture methods on steadfast practitioners in order to try to turn them against Dafa. The most unbearable method is "the big hang-up", with one hand cuffed to the upper rung of a bunk bed ladder, and the other hand cuffed to the lower end of the bed head. Both arms are stretched out, one high and one low. The person cannot stand up or sit. Both legs are bound. It is excruciating. During this time, one is forbidden to eat or go to the toilet. Some have no choice but to defecate in their trousers. Practitioner Wang Guiping was hung like this for 30 hours.

In November 2004, he was detained in the Ninghe County Detention Centre and was forbidden any visits from his family. There is no news on his current situation.
  • "Reform" Through Violence at the Jilin Province Women's Prison (Illustration)

    For steadfast practitioners, the guards order inmates to torture them with a method called "the Big Hang-up" while also brainwashing the practitioners. The practitioner's hands and feet are tied to four poles of a double-bunk bed, making the practitioner hang in the air in a U shape, between the upper and lower bunk, and her body weight rests completely on her wrists and ankles. Her buttocks don't reach the lower bunk, and her hands and feet cannot reach the upper bunk. She is only untied for eating. Many practitioners can barely hold a spoon after the blood circulation to their hands are cut off for so long.
  • The Brutal Persecution of Mr. Li Yansheng at Baoding Prison in Hebei Province

    In October 2002 in Baoding Prison, Mr Li Yansheng was hung up by handcuffs and was punched and kicked to try to force him to give up his belief in Falun Dafa. In March 2003, his cell mates took turns hitting him on his thighs. Mr. Li then had difficulty walking. Wang used a cigarette butt to burn Li Yansheng's toenail. Sun Quanyou used a live 2000-volt electric wire to shock his neck and face many times. In April 2004, inmate Luo Xuepei violently pressed on Mr. Li's knee joints until they were dislocated and his ligaments were torn.
