  • Chinese Communist Party Members Cause Death of Mr. Li Jucai - CCTV Lies to Frame Falun Gong

    Li Jucai tried to appeal to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regime and tell the benefits he experienced through Falun Gong practice, and that they should stop persecuting Falun Gong. The lawless officials intercepted him before he arrived at his destination. Local officials constantly harassed Li Jucai, intervened in his employment and forced the loss of his job. Because Li Jucai was a member of the CCP, officials threatened him saying, "We’ll expel you from the CCP and fire your son from his job if you continue to practise Falun Gong." Li Jucai collapsed, and his family rushed him to the hospital. Revival efforts failed and he passed away in November 1999. China Central Television (CCTV) aired the fabricated news of his death saying, "Li Jucai died because he refused to take medication for practising Falun Gong when he was sick!"

In 2004, she was tortured to death in Qiqihar Forced Labour Camp (formerly known as Shuanghe Forced Labour Camp). In the labour camp, Wang Guofang was tortured while in handcuffs, had the bottom of her feet burned with machines that emit heat, and was starved for days simply because she refused to give up practising Falun Gong. The labour camp was afraid that her family members would hold them accountable for her death, so they took the body to a hospital in Qiqihar City and created false evidence, claiming that Wang Guofang died from cardiac arrest.

  • The Torture I Suffered in Baishan City Detention Centre

    They tortured me on the "death bed" for five days. My body was seriously weakened and I was hard to recognise. I carried very heavy shackles. When they started to force-feed me, the criminals all came together. They consider torture and killing entertainment. The prison police really enjoyed the criminals force-feeding me. The criminals knocked me down and held me down firmly. Then six or seven criminals used their thumbs to firmly press my ribs, they pinched my crotch, stepped on my hands, twisted my belly and forcefully squeezed my head. The criminals pried open my mouth in turn, inserted the plastic bottle into my mouth and corked my mouth with a toilet cleaning rag. Then another criminal would take a turn to force-feed me. I nearly suffocated several times.
  • Jilin Province Prison Guards’ Outrageous Treatment of Practitioners: Stabbing Their Ribs, Freezing Them, and Hanging Them Upside Down

    In the Nanshan Detention Centre prison guards ordered other prisoners to "transform" those practitioners who firmly believed in Falun Dafa. They beat the practitioners until they fainted and then revived them with cold water and continued beating them. These beatings left practitioners’ faces covered with blood and their mouths filled with blood. The cooperating prisoners used combs to scratch practitioners’ sensitive areas, including fingernails and toes. They used pointed wooden sticks to stab practitioners’ ribs. Some were stabbed until they bled. In the winter, they stripped off practitioners’ clothes, forced them to squat down on the floor of a toilet, and poured cold water on them over and over.
  • Recent Incidents of Persecution in the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp

    Approximately 200 practitioners are jailed in the Second Women’s Section. The police guards use a special tool to abuse practitioners during force-feeding in particular. It is a round tool, augmented by two sharp ends. When force-feeding, the guards insert the sharp ends between the practitioners' front teeth and try to pry their mouths open. Some practitioners’ teeth have been broken and some practitioners’ lips have been torn. Ms. Cui Defen was tortured to the point of extreme weakness. She could not walk unaided, but the guards still forced her to do labour. Since she walked slowly, guard Zhao Jinghua beat her severely and locked her up for three and a half days. Zhao handcuffed her to a metal pipe in a room with her face against the pipe. She could not bend down or stand up.

Everyone listened quietly. The presiding judge said, "Thank you!" Later, he seemed to realise something and quickly said, "You dare to publicise those things to us! The court is adjourned!"

While sitting on the stool, practitioners must keep their backs straight, have both hands on their knees, and stare at a blackboard at the front of the room. They are not allowed to move or speak. Anyone who moves or speaks is severely beaten.
