The Persecution I Experienced in Beijing's Legal Training Centre
2007-03-04
When I was first taken here by Beijing policemen, several armed police officers took me to a cell. An armed police officer monitored me around the clock. I protested the incarceration with a hunger strike. In the first few days, several armed police ordered a doctor from the nearby Tuanhe Hospital to force-feed me. They called the force-feeding "being responsible for your life." The secret police observed me through the door to see if I was fearful, nervous, tired or anxious. Since I was calm, a few days later the secret police showed up. They tried to trick me and convince me with their evil theories and to threaten me. I knew that as a Falun Dafa practitioner I cannot be convinced or tricked by them, no matter how nice they pretended to be, or how tough they looked. -

The Crimes at Dalian City Forced Labour Camp in Liaoning Province
2007-03-03The situation in the Dalian City Forced Labour Camp is horrible. To maintain an intimidating atmosphere, the guards will find any excuse to torment someone once in a while.

The Brutal Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners at the Kaiping Forced Labour Camp in Tangshan, Hebei Province
2007-03-03If practitioners held a hunger strike to protest the persecution, they would be subjected to brutal force-feeding. The tormentors handcuffed practitioners' arms behind their back, to a chair. Several people would hold the practitioner's head and insert tubes through their nose. Then they would feed, little by little, some black material from a small container; all the while chatting with each other. It takes 40 minutes to finish the forced-feeding, which is more painful than delivering a baby. Moreover, in the winter, they would place practitioners in rooms with the windows open and only allow them to wear one sweater. Practitioners often have to sleep on the ground on a cold wooden board. -

First Hand Experience of Cruel Brainwashing at the Beijing Women's Forced Labour Camp (Part 9)
2007-03-02I was persecuted for not renouncing Falun Gong from that day in July 1999 when the Chinese Communist regime banned Falun Gong. Because, seven years ago, the former head of the Chinese Communist regime, Jiang Zemin, gave the order "to destroy them physically, starve them financially and destroy them mentally and spiritually," I lost my basic right to earn a living and live a normal life. I was harmed physically and mentally. Because of the rule "guilt by association," my family and relatives suffered and still suffer from this persecution. -

Some students would not sign any petition that was against Falun Gong, so the teachers tried to coerce the students into signing their names under threat of expulsion. Meanwhile, posters, banners, and propaganda attacking Falun Gong and its founder were posted everywhere on school campuses. Chen Zhili also had defamatory content added to high school and elementary school textbooks and various post-secondary school entrance exams. -
