• A Practitioner Recounts Three Years of Persecution In Masanjia Forced Labour Camp (Liaoning Province)

  2007-03-13
  At one point, I was persecuted to the point that I could not take care of myself, but I refused to be "transformed." They took me to another room for new methods of torture. Guard Liu Yong hung me up for several days. One day he said, "Let's do some physical exercises." He pulled on my arms until he dislocated the joints. They burned my nose and my hair, and used cigarettes to burn my hands. They used wires to hold my mouth open and inserted cigarette butts and dirty papers into it. They used needles to puncture my back, hands, arms and head. They hung me by my hands and tied my legs and feet. They used iron wires to tie my knees. It was an unbearable torture, but I withstood it.

• The Torture and Harassment I Suffered at the Hands of the Communist Party of Huangyang, Henan Province

  2007-03-12
  My name is Li Cuiying and I am 56 years old. Since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its head Jiang Zemin launched the persecution of Falun Gong on July 20th, 1999, I have been arrested four times without any legal process. I was arrested because I wouldn't renounce my belief and I appealed for justice for Falun Dafa and our Teacher [Teacher Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa]. I was tortured inhumanely. Once, when I was in detention with other practitioners, police put heavy ankle shackles on five of us and shackled us together. The shackles were so heavy that even a slight move would cause tremendous pain. We were forced to wear those shackles all day and night, even when we slept or relieved ourselves, for six weeks.
