• Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Officials Relentlessly Persecute a 60-year-old Kindergarten Teacher

  2006-10-16
  Six of us were sent to a detention centre. We were detained for 30 more days. Every day, we were forced to do much labour. We were also forced to strip 5 kilos of thin copper wires. There were animal droppings in our food. The vicious guards also ordered us to recite the detention centre rules. We did not cooperate with them. A member of the organisation department, Chen Su, interrogated me twice. He tried to force me to stop practising. I answered him, "My determination in Dafa cultivation is unwavering." They asked me to write the three statements. I did not cooperate.

• The Persecution of Dafa Practitioners Mr. Sun Kuixun and Ms. Sun Huijun from Pingdu City in Shandong Province

  2006-10-16
  On September 5th, 2006, authorities from a detention centre sent more than ten police officers to Sun Kuixun's house. He was arrested and to protest he went on a hunger strike. The police directed workers to force-feed him. First they used scissors to force open his mouth, stuck in some pliers to hold his mouth open, and a doctor inserted a tube. Even though he knew that inserting the hard tube would cause severe pain, he still inserted it and pulled it out, and re-inserted it. After they inserted the tube, he was fainting and on the verge of death, so the authorities sent him to the emergency room. When Sun Kuixin first awoke in the emergency room, a leader of the team said, "You should be grateful that I did not kill you!"

• Practitioner from Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province Recalls Being Mistreated Five Years Ago

  2006-10-16
  In late July 2000, I travelled to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa. I was arrested while riding on the bus from Tianjin to Beijing, and was interrogated for an entire day. Inside the Tianjin Detention Centre, when we did do the exercises, the guards beat us. There was no bedding, only rough wooden boards for sleeping. We were forced to eat mouldy steamed corn bread and a piece of dried vegetable. We are kind people and yet we were treated worse than criminals. To protest our detention, we went on a hunger strike. The guards force-fed us, which caused my teeth to become loose due to my mouth being forced open.

  Practitioners who refused to renounce Falun Gong were forced to stand in the corner facing the wall from 6:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. or 4:00 a.m. the next morning. Sometimes practitioners were forced to stand all night. Inmates took turns to monitor us around the clock. In this vicious environment, physically abused and injured practitioners were forced to clean the floor on their knees [because they no longer could stand after standing for long hours.] Fifty-eight-year-old Zhao Jinquan's ankles were so swollen that they became as thick as his calves.

  On September 13th, 2006, police arrested me and interrogated me. I was only allowed to sleep one hour every day. After several days, I was traumatised and exhausted. I could see no hope of getting out. I wanted the persecution to end, so I made up a false oral confession. After that I just fabricated things as I thought of them and gave the police several other false oral confessions.

Now I solemnly declare that the two guarantee statements I wrote in September 2006 are null and void.
