Informing the World About Labour Camps, Detention Centres, Prisons, and Hospitals in Mainland China

2006-05-07

In March of 2005 at Wanjia Forced Labour Camp, all inmates, including Falun Gong practitioners, were ordered to have their blood drawn and tested. They said that they were testing us for infectious diseases. Everyone had a full test tube, which was the width of a thumb, filled with our blood. Every test tube was numbered. During the procedure, the prison hospital director was very aggressive and at the same time afraid that anyone might refuse. Thinking back, I'm speculating - was this in reality to build a database for live organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners?

Her private part was still bleeding.

Some Thoughts on the CCP's Bloody Persecution in Concentration Camps

2006-05-07

I was shocked after reading reports that exposed those Chinese Communist Party (CCP) agents who were harvesting organs from living Falun Dafa practitioners at the Sujiatun Concentration Camp in Shenyang. Although I was shocked, these findings came as no surprise. In 2002, when I was unconstitutionally detained in the so-called "Legal Education Programme" (a brainwashing centre) I heard from the doctors there about harvesting human organs and some other horrible stories. I didn't pay too much attention to these stories then. Based on the doctors' discussions and on those from the "helping and educating" people, I could see that the CCP is capable of doing anything during this persecution of practitioners who firmly believe in Dafa.

Xicheng Detention Centre in Beijing Secretly Relocated Practitioners in 2001

2006-05-05

"In 2001 thousands of practitioners were being arrested every day and were detained in all the detention centres in the Beijing area.

Military doctors came every day to run physical tests, measure blood pressure, and carry out force-feedings. Every few days, there would be a group of very firm and healthy practitioners being secretly relocated. We were told that they were sent to the Northwestern area for tree planting and "re-education," and yet, once they were gone, there was no more news about them, dead or alive."

2006-05-05

"When I read the article "Comments on the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Response to the Sujiatun Concentration Camp" on Clearwisdom.net, I recalled a fact on how the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp deceived reporters.

An insider disclosed that some reporters would come after the "two conferences.""
