• Fellow Practitioners Who Didn't Give Your Names: Where Are You?

  2006-05-08
  Another practitioner and I went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong in December 2000. We were arrested and jailed at the Haidian Detention Centre in Beijing. On New Year's morning, 2001, the police loaded Falun Gong practitioners onto buses and we were sent to the northeast area. One bus held 50 practitioners. Endless numbers of white buses travelled one behind each other along a curving mountain highway. The police said, "It is a secret where you are being sent. All we can tell you is you are going to the northeast area." (Translator's note: People usually call the three Chinese provinces of Heilongjiang, Liaoning and Jilin the "northeast" area).

• Mr. Jia Jingwen's Black Hair Turned Grey within Three Months of Persecution at Jinzhou Forced Labour Camp

  2006-05-08
  "One day at end of July 2004, the police arrested me and sent me to Jinzhou Forced Labour Camp. Because I refused to follow their orders to get my hair cut and wear the prison uniform, they brutally beat me and put me into the "small cell for new arrivals." As soon as I arrived there, I saw a man with his hands cuffed behind his back, and wearing a helmet. He was very thin and had a grey beard, which almost covered his face. At first, I did not realise that he was my fellow practitioner Mr. Jia Jingwen. Although we had been close friends for over a year, I did not recognise him until I took a close look."

• Informing the World About Labour Camps, Detention Centres, Prisons, and Hospitals in Mainland China

  2006-05-07
  In March of 2005 at Wanjia Forced Labour Camp, all inmates, including Falun Gong practitioners, were ordered to have their blood drawn and tested. They said that they were testing us for infectious diseases. Everyone had a full test tube, which was the width of a thumb, filled with our blood. Every test tube was numbered. During the procedure, the prison hospital director was very aggressive and at the same time afraid that anyone might refuse. Thinking back, I'm speculating - was this in reality to build a database for live organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners?

• Some Thoughts on the CCP's Bloody Persecution in Concentration Camps

  2006-05-07
  I was shocked after reading reports that exposed those Chinese Communist Party (CCP) agents who were harvesting organs from living Falun Dafa practitioners at the Sujiatun Concentration Camp in Shenyang. Although I was shocked, these findings came as no surprise. In 2002, when I was unconstitutionally detained in the so-called "Legal Education Programme" (a brainwashing centre) I heard from the doctors there about harvesting human organs and some other horrible stories. I didn't pay too much attention to these stories then. Based on the doctors' discussions and on those from the "helping and educating" people, I could see that the CCP is capable of doing anything during this persecution of practitioners who firmly believe in Dafa.

• Xicheng Detention Centre in Beijing Secretly Relocated Practitioners in 2001

  2006-05-05
  "In 2001 thousands of practitioners were being arrested every day and were detained in all the detention centres in the Beijing area. Most of the practitioners did not reveal their names or addresses, and each of them was given a number. Military doctors came every day to run physical tests, measure blood pressure, and carry out force-feedings. Every few days, there would be a group of very firm and healthy practitioners being secretly relocated. We were told that they were sent to the Northwestern area for tree planting and "re-education," and yet, once they were gone, there was no more news about them, dead or alive."
