• Elderly Practitioner from Jilin Province Tells of Persecution Experience

  2006-08-06
  I was practising in a park on February 25th, 2000, when I was arrested and taken to a detention centre. At that time, many Dafa practitioners were kept there. They were punished by being forced to stand outside in the yard in the bone-chilling wind. They stood there for more than four hours. Their coats were taken away from them. Some practitioners wore only cotton shirts, some wore long under pants and some were forced to lie down on the concrete with their legs raised up in the air. The police even poured cold water on some practitioners’ trousers, soaking them and making it even colder. Some practitioners’ skin turned purple from being whipped by policemen using plastic tubing.
