2006-08-25
On February 25th, 2006, National Security Team officers broke into Ms. Wen Qingfang’s home and took her to a detention centre. During the detention, Ms. Wen carried out a hunger strike to protest the persecution. On the eighth or ninth day, the deputy director of the detention centre, and the detention centre doctor, led four to five inmates to hold down Ms. Wen, and forcibly injected her with an unknown drug using an IV. Twenty minutes later, Ms. Wen started to show adverse reactions to the drug. Her internal organs, as well as her arms and legs, all became extremely painful. Ten minutes after the bottle of IV was injected, Ms. Wen couldn’t move her right leg, and had pain so extreme that she could not speak coherently. Seven or eight days later, her right leg atrophied and she had no feeling in her right foot. -

The Humiliation and Suffering I Endured During My Detention in Beijing's Tuanhe Forced Labour Camp
2006-08-24I started practising Falun Dafa in 1996, and benefited physically and mentally from the practice. I held the position of manager at a well-known foreign company in Beijing prior to the regime's ban of Falun Dafa. I worked hard and my achievements were outstanding. My superiors had great trust in me. Later, during the persecution against Dafa practitioners, my company forced me to resign due to pressure from the Communist regime. The police arrested me five times because I appealed for Dafa, did the Falun Gong exercises in public and exposed the persecution. My most traumatic incidents took place after the last arrest. My experiences are a demonstration of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) fanatic wickedness and evilness. -

Falun Dafa Practitioner from Chengdu City Recounts Being Tortured to Disability and Near Blindness
2006-08-23In September 2002, prison officers hung up exhibits that defamed Falun Dafa and forced us to read them. If we refused to read them, we would be severely beaten. Bai Lirong beat me so hard that I nearly became blind. As of now, I am still unable to see clearly. My face was bruised and swollen. My upper teeth were smashed and I lost three of them. After the beating, the guards forced me to stand outside until 7:00 p.m., and then locked me up in a cell, which was small, dark, damp, without ventilation, and smelled of mildew. It was the worst cell, and five to eight Falun Dafa practitioners were locked in it. We were all subjected to multiple forms of cruel torture. I gradually lost my ability to walk, had oedema and scabies all over my body, my hands and feet were cold, and I had difficulty relieving myself. -

2006-08-23Mr. Yang Zhanjiu, a Falun Dafa practitioner detained in Shilingzi Prison is now disabled from the tortures. The bones in his heels were smashed and he was sent to a hospital for treatment.

However, he was sent back to the prison again. The bones in Yang Zhanjiu’s heels were removed. The nerves in his legs are dead. As a result, he can’t walk, nor can he take care of himself. His family members requested many times that he be released on bail to get medical treatment. The prison, however, refuses without reason. -
Beijing Falun Gong Practitioners Call for the Rescue of Cao Dong and Niu Jinping
2006-08-22We are Falun Gong practitioners and friends of Mr. Cao Dong and Mr. Niu Jinping.

Older Dafa Practitioner Ms. Liang Shufan Passed Away Due to the Persecution
2006-08-22Ms. Liang Shufan, 59 years old, went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Gong, and was arrested. She was tortured twice in a brainwashing centre and had one thousand yuan extorted from her. In November 2000, Ms. Liang Shufan went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa again.

Ganjingzi District Court in Dalian City, Liaoning Province Plans Show-Trial for Mr. Xue Xinkai and His Mother
2006-08-22According to an accurate source, Ganjingzi District Court of Dalian City, Liaoning Province, recently made plans to bring Dafa practitioners Mr. Xue Xinkai and his mother Sun Shuyun to trial at 9:00 a.m. on July 18th, 2006. This source disclosed that all arrested Falun Gong practitioners are given so-called "court hearings," but it is well known that these hearings are only superficial. The prison terms given to Falun Gong practitioners have been already decided, but simply not yet announced at the time of the hearing, so in reality the judge merely plays out the procedure. So long as a hearing is held, the judge's duty is completed. -
Qingqing Hopes Her Mother and Uncle Will Return Soon
2006-08-22My uncle (my mum's brother) and mum were arrested and have been held by the Chinese Communist Party for more than five months. My grandma and granddad take care of me now. Do you know how my uncle and mother were arrested? The police handcuffed them while they were at work, then they ransacked our whole house. I can't see my mother or uncle at all now. Later on I heard my mum yelling down the staircase, "Why are you arresting me? Release me!" Four people carried her down the stairs. When they reached the first floor, they dropped her. Then they carried her outside. My eyes were full of tears that started to quickly fall. I kept calling, "Mum, Mum!"
