Please Follow Closely Harbin University Practitioner Mr. Zhao Yan's Situation
2006-05-01"I became very anxious when I heard the recent news that Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Zhao Yan was arrested and will have to stand trial. While Falun Dafa was being slandered in the media, Mr. Zhao remained firm in his beliefs. The detention centre police stationed at the university continually harassed us. They confined us to "brainwash" all of us against Falun Gong. The police also persecuted him while he was imprisoned in the detention centre simply because he practised publicly with other practitioners. I can scarcely remember how many tribulations he has had to endure." -

My Organs Were Examined at a Labour Camp in 2001
2006-04-30"I had two physical examinations while detained at a labour camp at the beginning of 2001. I was handcuffed and taken alone in a police vehicle by guards to Guangzhou City Military Region Hospital in Guangdong Province. My liver, gallbladder, and kidney were x-rayed. Without knowing the medical results, I was taken back to the camp. Today, as I recall my physical examinations when I was in the labour camp, I always felt that there was some unspeakable purpose in those examinations. I don't know for sure whether they had something to do with harvesting organs from living practitioners or not." -

Ms. Zhang Lixin's Persecution Experiences in the Jilin Women's Prison
2006-04-29My name is Zhang Lixin and I am 63 years old. I was a doctor. Because I practised Falun Gong, I was sentenced to ten years and detained in the Jilin Women's Prison from November 2002 up to today. The prison officials told me, "All Falun Gong practitioners who come here must write "three statements" (to renounce Falun Dafa). No sleep is allowed if these are not finished. If you still refuse to write, all prisoners will be forced to do long-term standing with you. You will be beaten and verbally abused by the prisoners until you write all three statements." I patiently told them, "Falun Gong teaches one to cultivate the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance. We are innocent." -

Jailed Ms Yang Lijuan Discloses Persecution
2006-04-28"The torture I endured was as follows: One man held my hair, the second man curbed my head upward with a towel, and the third man fed the mustard water into my nostril. I could not help coughing and vomiting. One of them wiped my face with a dirty rag and another man smeared my face with a mop after cleaning the floor. Midway through, he wiped the toilet with that mop and smeared my face again. After feeding me 100 millilitres of mustard water, they changed my back-cuffed posture. The handcuff dug into my flesh and I was then locked onto an iron chair, where I was unable to struggle. They also beat me about the head. During the forced feeding process, Di Shigang also ground my anklebone, which caused tearing pain, and he ground my calf bone using a steel pipe." -
