2013-05-07
Mr. Zeng Haiqi was a Falun Gong practitioner from Hunan Province, China. He was sentenced to prison for practising Falun Gong and died in prison on April 26th, 2013. His family received a call from Jinshi Prison on April 25th that he was dying from cirrhosis and renal failure. Mr. Zeng's family was puzzled, as he had been perfectly healthy ever since he started practising Falun Gong. When Mr. Zeng's family saw his body, they saw injuries all over it. His body was swollen. There were bruises on his upper body. There was blood on his genitals and on his buttocks. His family was outraged, “He must have died a most painful death!” His family demanded a thorough investigation, but the prison insisted on examining the body for 20 days first. -

Slave Labour at Liaoning Women's Prison—Products Exported to Korea, Canada
2013-05-07I would like to share on how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) profits by forcing Falun Gong practitioners to do slave labour while imprisoned. Liaoning Women's Prison makes products for the Shenyang Anna Garment Group and the Shenyang Zhonghe Clothing Co., Ltd. The clothing made includes skinny jeans, checkered shirts, shorts, and skirts. Everyone is forced to work 12 hours per day, from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. All three meals are to be eaten in the workshop. Completing their work quota is critical in order to avoid penalties, such as not being able to buy daily supplies, standing or squatting for long periods of time, or beatings. -

Torture, Beatings, Hard Labour and 16-Hour Workdays at Shuangkou Forced Labour Camp in Tianjin
2013-05-04The Shuangkou Forced Labour Camp in Tianjin has brutally persecuted Falun Gong practitioners for the last 14 years.

Officials at Tianjin Women's Prison: “No Medical Parole Unless She Is Dying”
2013-04-28Tianjin Women's Prison officials recently notified Ms. Ping Yurong's family that her lungs were filling with fluid. When the family requested that Ms. Ping be released for medical treatment, the prison officials said that they “will not consider granting medical parole unless she is dying.” According to medical experts, fluid on the lungs is serious and needs to be treated promptly. Ms. Ping's situation is worrisome because the conditions at the prison are poor and her condition is so serious. Because the prison authorities even bothered to notify her family, it is suspected that the prison is acknowledging that Ms. Ping is seriously ill. By notifying the family, the prison seems to be attempting to evade responsibility for her condition. -
