  After the interception of Changchun television station's broadcast with footage exposing the persecution of Falun Gong in March 2002, the 610 Offices from top to bottom were in a frenzy and arrested Dafa practitioners as they combed through the city. Because Meng Qinglin refused to denigrate Dafa he was forced to sit on a tiger bench for 12 hours at the Changchun sub-bureau, and was detained for more than a year. After he was released from prison, his little granddaughter was already born and several months old. His family members could not even recognise him. He was emaciated, pale, and could hardly walk because of numbness in both legs. He needed a magnifying glass to read. This caused his family members a great deal of stress and anxiety.

• The Persecution of Practitioners in Chengdu City, Sichuan Province

  Ms. Zhou Leju is in her 70s. Her husband was an intellectual and was persecuted to death during the cultural revolution. Ms. Zhou started to practise Falun Dafa in 1998, her illnesses disappeared and she became healthy again. When the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began the persecution of Falun Gong, she became fearful because it reminded her of the persecution her husband suffered before his death. As a result, she stopped practising. Soon after, her diseases recurred. She realised the benefits she had received from practising Falun Dafa and so started practising again. Police closely followed and monitored her. They searched her home many times and prohibited her from living with her daughter.

• Crimes Perpetrated Against Falun Gong Practitioners at the Brainwashing Centre in Langfang City, Hebei Province

  2007-06-22
  During the past several years, practitioners who were sent there by force had their personal freedoms taken away. The brainwashing centre flooded them with twisted ideology and humiliated them. Other persecution methods included long periods of forced standing and sleep deprivation. Those who persisted in practising Falun Gong were treated more harshly and threatened with being sent to forced labour camps. The practitioners were beaten and verbally abused, and guards flicked the practitioners' eyeballs to keep them from sleeping. They also used toxic oral and intravenous drugs that damaged the nervous system. When practitioners went on hunger strikes to protest the persecution, they were force-fed with a tube inserted into their stomachs. The prison personnel also put drugs into the food and drinking water when they carried out this brutal torture.
