Suggestions for the Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong in China (CIPFG)
2006-05-18I am a victim of Jiang Zemin and the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) persecution of Falun Gong. I was twice sent to forced labour camps and was detained for a total of five years. I have personally experienced the viciousness of the guards and witnessed how prison administrations covered their crimes when investigation groups arrived. They removed all brutally tortured practitioners, including ones on the tiger bench, ones cuffed on to the cement floor, and ones hanging on the heater pipes, to another place. -
Mental Torture and Murder in the CCP's Persecution of Falun Gong - Part 2
2006-05-18Following is the account from graduate student Zhao Ming at Trinity College in Dublin: "...They ordered me not to sleep for two days and coerced me to 'reform.' After I refused, they tied my arms, upper body, legs, and feet to the bed plank. Then they put a rope across my mouth and tied down my head this way ...They shocked me all over my body with at least six electric batons, each one capable of releasing tens of thousands of volts of electricity. It was tremendously painful. My ears were filled with the cracking of electric baton touching the flesh, and the air was filled with the scorched smell of flesh; each air particle was filled with violence and evil..." -
Large Groups of Falun Gong Practitioners Were Transferred from Beijing's Xicheng Detention Centre to Shenyang City At the End of 2000
2006-05-17On December 30th, 2000, I was arrested and sent to the Xicheng Detention Centre because I held a banner at Tiananmen Square. At that time, many practitioners were arrested. We refused to cooperate with the authorities and refused to tell them our name and address, and held a hunger strike to protest the unjust arrests, requesting to be released unconditionally. Everyone was numbered, and I was given No. 779. The police yelled, "If you don't tell us your name and address, we will send you to the northeast!" On January 6th, 2001 many practitioners were called to gather in the yard. One policeman said, "We are taking you to Shenyang in the northeast ...." I did not clearly hear the detailed location. -

Mental Torture and Murder in the CCP's Persecution of Falun Gong
2006-05-17Practitioner Luo Qingshu, in her 80s, was handcuffed and hung up for a long time at the Gongjiawan Legal Training School in Lanzhou City. She was coerced to write "guarantee statements." Her legs swelled and appeared translucent; she could not even remove her trousers and could not bend her legs. Deep and long cracks appeared on her thighs and calves; her hands looked like balls from the swelling and she could not bend her fingers. Once, she was hung up for 12 days nonstop. She was not allowed to sleep. Guard Qi slapped her face and screamed, "If you don't listen to the Communist Party and don't reform, I'll hang you up hundreds of times, skin you and pull out your tendons." -
The Custodial Station and the Public Security Hospital in Beijing Repeatedly Drew My Blood for Testing and Analysis
2006-05-17Recently, the knowledge that organs have been harvested from live Falun Gong practitioners in the concentration camps in Mainland China was exposed. I recalled that, even as they brutally tortured me, they were still very concerned about my health. It was only because the officers in the Custodial Station wanted to harvest my organs that they made such painstaking efforts to treat me "well." I totally refused to cooperate with them. I resisted the force-feeding, the drug infusions, and the blood and urine testing. In this way I narrowly escaped being killed in the concentration camp. -
