A Seven-Year-Old Girl's Wish
2006-11-20When I was a little over one year old, my mum left me. My dad said I would often wake up in the middle of the night and look for her. When I was three, dad took me some place and told me I could see mum there. I was very happy. I saw many people wearing black clothes and I later learned they were police officers. They took dad and me to a place and I saw mum although we were separated by a thick pane of glass. I saw that she was very thin. She started crying as soon as she saw me, and she was very sad. We talked through a phone and I asked mum, "Why are we calling each other when we are so close?" mum laughed. Later I was told the place where we visited mum was a prison. -

Darkness Lurks in the Zhejiang Province Women's Prison
2006-11-20I myself have lived through the brutal terror inside the special "classroom." There was a varying number of "guards" who were selected from the most hard core criminals. I suffered through several savage beatings at their hands. Sometimes all five beat me at the same time and I started to bleed from the head. Since I would not betray or criticise Falun Gong, several of them grabbed my hands and pounded them against the table, causing my hands to bleed and swell up. They also cursed us and verbally abused us. They sometimes did not allow me to drink water for two days at a time, or they gave me only a very small amount of water. I suffered terribly, being so thirsty. -

Mr. Huang Min Tells of the Cruel Tortures He Suffered in Forced Labour Camps for Five Years and Seven Months
2006-11-18In September 2001, I was transferred to Yushan Forced Labour Camp. They used violence in order to make me renounce Falun Gong. The prison guards had four inmates brutally beat me on an average of six rounds a day. When they realised that beating would not work, they resorted to different means of torture. They kept hitting my wrists and finger joints with a pair of forceps until all the soft issues and tendons were badly swollen. In addition, they hit me on my ankles and toes, the areas that are more sensitive to pain. They made a hammer out of copper wires and used it to hit my head until there were bumps all over my head. Finally they poked my fingertips with large sewing needles until my fingers bled profusely.
