Torture

• Memories of My Fellow Practitioner Cheng Hanbo

  2007-02-05
  I am a practitioner from Jiamusi who has been forced to be homeless. Today, I browsed the Minghui/Clearwisdom website and learned that Cheng Hanbo was persecuted to death. I can hardly believe this is true. I saw her picture and could not help crying. In 2001, I was detained in a forced labour camp. Around the end of September, practitioners were forced to sit and watch TV. I noticed Cheng Hanbo was also there. Our eyes met and we made a silent agreement not to cooperate with such a persecution.

• The Truth Behind the Pretty Gift Boxes

  2007-02-04
  One of my friends has been held at Shijiazhuang City Forced Labour Camp merely because of his belief in Falun Dafa and "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance."

  The forced labour camps use many persecution methods. The rooms are shared by four or five people and are very unpleasant. Only half of a wooden scoop of water is provided every morning. The toilet is inside the room and has no cover. The windows are kept shut even in the warm weather. The smell inside the rooms is terrible, and there is not enough oxygen. Everyday, some practitioner got fastened to the bedside, window, or metal chairs because she was caught doing the Falun Gong exercises. At the beginning, violence was used to make practitioners give up their beliefs. Later, they attempted to trick and deceive practitioners to achieve their purpose.
