Torture

  • The Last Photo of Her Life (Photo)

    One day in July, I went to visit the family again. Ms. Wu was happy but her condition had deteriorated. Pus formation had spread throughout her calves, and a copious exudate oozed from her legs below the knees; her abdomen had distended to the bottom of her sternum. A foul odour permeated the whole room. I asked her if we could take a photo of her to send to Clearwisdom.net, and she agreed. Thus she left behind the last, a sad and evocative, photo in her life.
  • The Horrors in the Jiaozhou City Psychology Rehabilitation Hospital

    The hospital is perhaps among the top centres used for the persecution of Falun Gong, when compared to other similar mental hospitals. Falun Gong practitioners detained there are strictly isolated, not allowed to be visited by families, and are forcibly drugged with toxic substances that detrimentally affect the central nervous system, until their so called "transformation" is achieved. Only then will the Assistant Secretary in charge of politics and law work and the Politics and Law Commission authorize the release.
  • Falun Gong Practitioners Used as Slave Labour in Shuanghe Female Forced Labour Camp

    Sixty-year old women also had to do this work if they refused to give up practising Falun Gong. On purpose, the camp forced the practitioners to do the "pouring pesticide" job, which was the dirtiest and most hazardous one. We could hardly see each other through the haze of pesticide dust in the shop, where practitioners' eyes were frequently scorched. With no water to drink in the hot summer, in addition to hunger and fatigue, some practitioners fainted.

Li Yueming and the 16-year-old practitioner raised the banner together and shouted, "Falun Dafa is great!" and "Return Teacher's good name!" Later, police tried to savagely snatch the banner away. The boy rolled the banner around his body to avoid having the police seize it.
