• Women's Prison in Shandong Province Uses Unknown Drugs on Practitioner Meng Lijun

  2007-05-18
  Ms. Meng Lijun suffered all sorts of torture at the hands of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), because she practised Falun Dafa. In 1999, in a detention centre, police handcuffed one of her hands and hung her from some metal wiring, leaving her feet barely touching the ground. She was hung like that for three or four hours. Her face, hands, and feet all changed colour. One young policeman came and put a charge of electricity into the metal wiring from the electric baton he held. When Ms. Meng was taken down, she couldn't stand and felt nauseas. Over the years Ms. Meng was arrested many times and in 2005 she was sent to prison. Police put unknown drugs into her food and water. She had swelling all over her body and suffered from amnesia.

• The Party Persecutes My Father, Calligrapher Gao Zongzhen, and My Entire Family

  2007-05-17
  At school, because of lies propagated by the CCP, teachers and students were all very harsh to me, saying that I was the daughter of a Falun Gong practitioner. In order to realise personal political gain, many vicious policemen often came to my home to harass us. They used both "harsh and soft" methods to try to manipulate my mother to help them persuade my father to give up his belief in "Truth, Compassion and Tolerance." They threatened my mother by saying, "Gao Zongzhen (my father) has practised Falun Gong. It will become very difficult for your entire family to find any jobs in the future. Your children won't be able to go to school or find a job either. If you can ask Gao Zongzhen to give up Falun Gong, we will ensure his job in the future; and the family won't be effected, either."

• The Hidden Brutality at Weining Forced Labour Camp in Benxi, Liaoning Province

  2007-05-15
  Weining Forced Labour Camp in Benxi City is a place where the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) dictatorship carries out its brutal policies. Every newly arrived practitioner is "cared for" by the guards upon arrival, who pretend to be kind and warm. They constantly air videos that slander Falun Gong and praise the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Two "brainwashing" personnel watch the practitioner all the time, even when he goes to the toilet. If these methods don't work, they will threaten him. "If you don't change your mind, we will transfer you to Dabei Prison." If none of these tactics work, then they will act more brutally. They prohibit practitioners from sleeping and send the practitioners to the "severe treatment team" and put them on a "dead person's bed" to stretch their limbs. A healthy person can be damaged to the point of a mental breakdown from this treatment.
