• The Vicious Crimes Committed by Chen Shougang and Luan Jinghe at Mudanjiang Prison in Heilongjiang Province - Part 2

  2007-05-23
  Force-feeding is one of the most merciless and painful tortures afflicted on Falun Gong practitioners, a life-and-death experience for those who are weak from hunger strikes. First, the officials immobilise the practitioners with handcuffs and shackles; then a prison doctor and/or guards violently cram a thick tube down through the nose into the practitioner's stomach. Sometimes the tube enters the trachea and causes a lung infection. They repeatedly pull the tube out and re-insert it and stir it around inside the practitioner's stomach "for fun," severely damaging the nasal cavities and the gastrointestinal tract. Then they pour a mixture of highly concentrated saline solution and corn porridge into the tube, which results in inflammation of the practitioner's stomach. This torture causes tremendous pain and sometimes leads to death.

• State Security Agents Demanded That I Be an Informant

  2007-05-23
  In July 2003, members of the 610 Office talked to me. The main point was to demand that I become an informant and spy by taking pictures and monitoring the activities of Falun Gong in Germany. I kept silent during the talk, thinking that I would not do those things. I booked an airline ticket and left China as soon as I could. On July 27th, 2003, I arrived safely at Berlin, Germany. When I called home to China several days later, the line did not sound right. It was confirmed later that my home phone in China was being monitored.

• The Brutal Torture of Practitioners in the Harbin Women's Prison in Heilongjiang Province

  2007-05-23
  The guards have selected many notorious criminal inmates to monitor practitioners. Practitioners are also not allowed to make purchases in the prison store; their money are in possession of the monitors. If practitioners do not cooperate they are brutally beaten and verbally abused. The guards do not directly communicate with practitioners, they communicate through the criminal inmates. If the monitors are not monitoring the practitioners, their merit scores are reduced. The inmates therefore beat or abuse practitioners regularly to show that they are "on the job."

• Exposing the Crimes Committed inside Gansu Province Women's Prison

  2007-05-22
  Gansu Women's Prison officials supported a group of criminal inmates who brutally beat and closely monitored practitioners. Their daily task was to try to force practitioners to write the "four statements" and the so-called "thought report." If the practitioners refused to cooperate, the other inmates would slander Dafa and ruthlessly abuse practitioners with beatings and curses. They would also spit at them, shock them with electric batons, handcuff and hang them, and deprive them of sleep. Practitioners would also be forced to stand against a wall with their heads down, backs against a wall, and with hands up, or they would be hung upside down.
