• The Cruel Persecution at the Shuiyin Homeless Centre in Guangzhou City

  2003-11-18
  They transferred me to the Homeless Centre located on Shuiyin Street, in the Tianhe District of Guangzhou City. Most of the policemen there were very wicked. Inside the Homeless Centre, I heard crying and the noise of electric batons shocking people all day long. The policemen frequently sprayed red-pepper water on people. They refused to give the babies milk or water and when the babies cried due to hunger, they sprayed red-pepper water into the room where the babies and their mums were jailed. They constantly detained many practitioners at one time. Sometimes there were over fifty practitioners detained at once.

• Shen Xiaodu, Grandson of the China Democratic League Founder Tortured with Intense Heat at the Xinhua Forced Labour Camp

  2003-11-18
  Because Shen Xiaodu never gave in, he was then taken to the brick kiln of the 4th Group of the 4th Brigade [hottest kiln at the Xinhua Forced Labour Camp]. First, they put him in the "Cold Gate" (which is above 40 C, 104 F). Then, they put him in the "Middle Gate" (which is above 60 C, 140 F). When Shen Xiaodu did not give up, he was put in the "Fire Gate" (which is above 80 C, 176 F). Shen Xiaodu still refused to give in. The "Fire Gate" that he was put in was not a regular one; it had just been opened. The temperature was extremely high, and the bricks were still glowing.

• Ruthless Torture of Falun Dafa Practitioners in Banqiao Forced Labour Camp

  2003-11-17
  Mr. Zhang Wensheng was also forcibly held in a brainwashing class for several days. Criminal inmates kept his eyes open with a match so that he was unable to blink. He was continuously beaten in an attempt to force him to swear never to practise again. His body was swollen and he could not walk. He had to be helped to the bathroom. Under such pressure, he was forced to recant his belief. He was beaten again before an official meeting designed to further humiliate and reinforce that the practitioners had recanted their belief. On September 10th, Zhang Wensheng refused to write a summary of serving his terms and was tortured further and deprived of sleeping.

• Brutal Brainwashing in Wuhan Women's Prison

  2003-11-17
  Two prisoners pressed her down and another one squatted behind her back, grabbing her hair and pulling it down, in order to take the photo by force. Because she refused to recite the prison rules, she was tortured with the method of "digging the wall" for two days. Since she was detained in the 4th Section of No.1 Division, she was often deprived of sleep and was not allowed to use the toilet, as a punishment for refusing to write statements renouncing and slandering Falun Gong.

• Three Years of Hardship and Torture Cannot Change Practitioners' Hearts

  2003-11-16
  After ten days of this, they no longer asked me anything, but routinely tied me up very tightly as soon as I had finished working each day. When I was half-hung, there was no point of support for my whole body other than my tiptoes. This time, after tying me for several days, they said they would let me go to sleep as long as I did not awaken earlier than they did. One day, I was beaten just because I had gotten up before them to fold my blanket. Another time, because I had been caught talking, the person on duty and the prisoners stuffed a dirty rag in my mouth, sealed it with tape, then beat my face and mouth, which became red and swollen. The person on duty also threw some hard-soled boots at my head.

  2003-11-16
  Once the torture starts the victim's arms instantly become red and swollen, and afterwards the victim is bruised and lacerated, or even crippled. While torturing Falun Dafa practitioners these police officers shout ferociously, "It is ordered from above, and we can use all sorts of methods and measures to deal with you Falun Gong practitioners. If all of this fails, we can just simply drag you out and... [shoot you]"

• Recent Information on the Persecution of Falun Dafa Practitioners Mao Changqing, Li Jianguo, and Tian Yuxi from Henan Province

  2003-11-16
  Several police officers held him down and pried his mouth open. During the force feeding some people also tickled his armpits in order to force him to comply. The three practitioners appealed the unjust sentence. The Wancheng district court did not hold any new trial but soon issued an order to "maintain the original judgment." The Wancheng District Court did not follow Chinese law in sentencing these Falun Dafa practitioners; instead, it followed the order from Jiang's regime and sentenced the practitioners at will.

• Government Departments and Officials Responsible for the Death of Falun Dafa Practitioner Ms. Liu Tongling

  2003-11-15
  She soon showed symptoms of heart disease, vasculitis, etc. When her family members were finally able to see her -- after great effort -- they found her extremely thin and weak. Her family members pleaded to take her out for medical treatment. However, the drug rehabilitation centre replied, "She will be allowed to go out to see a doctor only when her life is in peril." On October 12, 2003, only a month after she was sent to Harbin City Drug Rehabilitation Centre, Liu Tongling was unjustly tortured to death.

• Gruesome Account of Abuse Female Dafa Practitioners Endure in Harbin Drug Rehabilitation Centre

  2003-11-15
  Those Dafa practitioners who were tortured to the brink of losing consciousness were finger printed by prisoners pressing their hands on the pre-written "transformation statements." This is how this Drug Rehabilitation Centre reached the "above 90% transformation ratio" in three days. Prisoners carried the unconscious practitioners out of the basement. After they came to, they were punished by having to squat and were cuffed on the bed and then dragged to the basement for additional torture. Some of the ways they used to torture Dafa practitioners are too horrible to describe.

• Crimes Committed Against Innocent Female Dafa Practitioners in the Beijing Police Hospital

  2003-11-15
  All the prisoners here had one foot chained to the bed. Everyday they were unlocked only for a toilet break in the morning. Police tried to force practitioners to wear the shackles by themselves. Yuan Lin and her cellmates 56 year-old Ms. Wang Guangying and 62 year-old Ms. Qi Bingshu (both from Hefei City, Anhui Province) and one other practitioner refused to wear the shackles. They insisted that they are innocent and that their detention is illegal. The police on duty led by the head guard threatened, "Since you refused to do it yourselves, we are going to chain you for three days and three nights!" The police chained everyone in the room by their leg and handcuffed their hands with two additional handcuffs.

• Behind the Façade of the Staged Singing and Dancing in Henan's Shibalihe Forced Labour Camp Lies Savage Torture

  2003-11-15
  The police at the labour camp seriously violate the law by opening and withholding practitioners' mail and packages that their families send. Practitioners do not have the freedom to correspond. They are not even allowed to wear watches. Practitioner Chen Yujing's family sent her a watch and other gifts, which were all withheld. The police can cancel practitioner's visiting hours at will, and visiting family members are turned away...On the day when the practitioners were locked up, viciously beaten and hemorrhaging from the savagery, in the courtyard, the labour camp criminals were made to sing and dance for the video taping of a sham happy scene for TV propaganda: showing the "tender loving nurturing" by the labour camp during the transformation of the practitioners, and the "wonderful life" the practitioners have while in the camp.

• More About the Death of Falun Dafa Practitioner Jilin Province Ms. Li Shuhua and the Devastation of Her Family

  2003-11-14
  When the families saw her body, it did not look like she died of hunger at all. Even though her face had a lot of make-up on it and her clothes had been changed, they still could see that there were bruises on one side of her face and there was broken skin on two places on her face. One side of her skull was caved in and there were some lumps on the back of her head. Besides that, she was extremely thin. After dissecting her body, the coroners found over 5 kilograms of blood in her abdominal cavity. The blood hadn't congealed and it was still liquid. The coroner claimed that the blood was menstrual blood. Anyone with any medical knowledge would know that this was a lie intended to deceive the family. The family doubted the reason given as the cause of her death, so they wanted to take some pictures of her body. The Public Security Bureau not only refused to allow the family to take pictures of her, but also had the police watch her body until her cremation.
