  • Heinous Crimes against Women Falun Gong Practitioners at the Shibalihe Women's Forced Labour Camp

    I am a Falun Gong practitioner sentenced to forced labour. When I was sent to Shibalihe Women's Forced Labour Camp I saw the words, "Rescue, Educate and Influence [through love and care]," the slogan the labour camp brandishes. While being held at Division 3, however, I experienced various tortures in this hell on earth! The guards use base and cruel methods to "reform" Falun Gong practitioners. The administrators of the labour camp don't hold back on their barbarism.

Officer Wang Guijun beat Liu Zhenguo, whose mouth was left bleeding. Mr. Liu's eyes were blackened, and his chest hurt badly.

The labour camp authorities sent him to the Guta District Hospital and left him with his family and the hospital staff. The next day, fearing their deeds would be exposed, they dispatched six police officers. They broke into the home of Miao Jianguo's parents and took Miao Jianguo from his parents' home, although he was near death at the time. They continued to detain him in Jinzhou City Forced Labour Camp.

  • The Persecution of Practitioners in Jiangxi No. 2 Forced Labour Camp

    In May 2003, the guards assigned criminal inmates to monitor me. Every day, they only allowed me to take a five minute break three times, only three minutes to use the toilet each time. If I took more than three minutes, I was pulled out of the toilet even if I was not finished. I had to listen repeatedly to recordings that slandered Falun Dafa. They handcuffed me to a bed, put headphones over my ears, and forced me to listen 16 hours a day. If I refused to listen, they ordered a group of inmates to physically abuse me. They allowed me to sleep about four hours per day.

  • Torture Methods Used at Jinzhou Forced Labour Camp Part 2 (Re-enactment Photos)

    A very cruel torture method used in Jinzhou Forced Labour Camp is squeezing the eyeballs and genitals. The guards lock the practitioner in an iron cage with both hands cuffed to the iron bars of the cage. A guard holds the victim's head from outside the cage and presses the victim's eyeballs very hard with both thumbs. The victim is in extreme pain and loses his sight for over half an hour. The guards also burn practitioners' fingers and squeeze hard on their genitals.
  • The Inside Story of What Happened at the Jiamusi City Xigemu Women's Forced Labour Camp in 2002

    The practitioners had to sit on little stools, with four spiral nail poles protruding above the surface, to watch propaganda that defamed Falun Dafa, from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. The practitioners were forced to sit with their backs straight, two hands flat on their kneecaps and legs bent at a 90-degree angle. Several guards rotated, patrolling day and night with rubber and wooden clubs. As soon as they saw that someone's posture was not correct, they beat them with the club. As a result of sitting on the little stool for an extended period, some practitioners' buttocks were severely bruised and torn by the protruding spiral nail poles.
  • Practitioner Nie Feiyao Recounts His Experience in Forced Labour Camp in Changsha City

    Mr. Nie Feiyao was arrested twice for distributing leaflets exposing the persecution. He was sent twice to Hunan Province's Xinkaipu Labour Camp for "transformation". He suffered horribly there. After his release he was mentally ill. When he was more focused and clear-minded, he managed to outline the horrific experience he faced inside the labour camp. Judging from his current condition and physical appearance, it seems likely that the labour camp injected him with drugs that damaged his nervous system.
