• Warden at the Huairou Detention Centre Threatened to Send Me to Northwest China, Never to Come Back Again

  2006-05-28
  Over five years ago I was detained at the Huairou detention centre in Beijing. Because I would not tell them my name, the ward threatened to send me to northwest China and that I would never come home again if I refused to tell my name. Only now do I realise that this was not just a threat, it was for sure. None of the arrested practitioners would tell their names and addresses, since we knew from classified documents of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) that whenever a Falun Gong practitioner appealed, the spouse of the practitioner would be fired and fined 8000 to 10000 yuan, and from the officials in his/her workplace to the police department and police substation, all would be punished.

• Indications of a Secret Northwest Prison and Organ Harvesting Centre

  2006-05-26
  In 2001, a young and pretty female practitioner from Pingdu was transferred to the labour camp where I was detained. She was in her 30s, and she remained firm in her belief. In 2003, when it was time to release her, a police vehicle came to pick her up -- usually, family members or the local police pick up the practitioners. Yet, police picked up the practitioner from Pingdu, still handcuffed. She was divorced and had no family members. Policewoman Li Ying later told me, "Do you know where she was taken to?" It seemed like the policewoman wanted to tell me something but did not dare to. She paused for a while and said, "She was not taken to her home, that's for sure."
