• Brutal Forced-feeding: "Saving" Lives at the Daqing Detention Centre and Labour Camp

  2005-12-17
  Force-feeding is a horrifying experience. At Daqing Detention Centre, the process of the first forced-feeding administered to every Falun Gong practitioner who was involved in the September 23rd arrests was videotaped. They use it as "evidence" to report to the 610 Office. Watching the practitioners' struggling, vomiting, bleeding and screaming during force-feeding, the perpetrators often mock, make fun of or even beat them up.

We can say that you died from disease."
