• Experiencing First Hand the Selfless Realm of Persecuted Falun Dafa Practitioners

  2007-01-22
  In 2003, the forced labour camp tried to force us to give up Falun Dafa cultivation and ordered us to write the so-called three statements. Many practitioners refused to renounce Falun Dafa. The guards ganged up with the criminal inmates and pushed the practitioners to the concrete floor. They immobilised them using a metal bed as a torture device, handcuffed their hands behind their backs with one arm pulled over the shoulder (a torture called "carrying a sword on the back"). The handcuffs cut into the practitioners' wrists and their hands became bloody. Many practitioners almost became disabled from being handcuffed this way. To this day, some practitioners still have scars left on their wrists, evidence of the crimes committed against practitioners by the guards in the forced labour camp.
