  • Wuxue City Prison Hospital Administer Brutal Force-Feeding to Dafa Practitioner

    Mr. Liao Yuanhua was arrested in 2000. After he was detained in Wuxue City prison for more than one year, he was sentenced and sent to Shayang, where he suffered inhuman abuses. In October 2003, when some officials visited Mr. Liao in the prison hospital, they showed him fliers describing the inhuman abuses he and other Falun Gong practitioners suffered. Mr. Liao read through the flier carefully and said, "These things are all true; it was even worse than what the flyers describe." While pointing to policemen Xiao and Xiong who were monitoring him, he said, "It was they who did this." When Mr. Liao raised his feet to show the visiting officials the burned skin on his feet, policeman Xiao fiercely struck his feet to prevent him from doing so. Xiao accused Mr. Liao, "It was your fault; you leaked information about all of this. Otherwise, how would people know all the details?"
  • Lecturer From Beijing's Central Institute of Nationalities, Presses Charges against Chinese Authorities

    As clearly stipulated by code 41 of the Constitution and code 254 of the criminal law, no person or organisation has the right to penalise, indict, or file a complaint against any citizen that file appeals. Yet, the involved administration authorities unreasonably withheld my complaint and as a legal plaintiff, and I was personally subjected to persecution by them as well. They used vicious means to harm my body and nervous system, and they tried to hound me to death or to the point that I suffered mental collapse. To quote their words, a person like me must "either be killed or made mentally disordered." It was not me who is the criminal, but these people of the concerned administration authority.

Even though her circumstances have turned worse, the prison guards frequently harass her family at home. They know no shame and extort money from them, causing them much distress.
  • Torture Instead of Healing Leads to a Fifty Percent Death Rate for Practitioners at the Public Security Hospital in Jilin Province

    When I heard that Liu Chengjun was admitted to the Public Security Hospital located in Jilin Province, I became very anxious. I remembered my own persecution experiences, having spent just four days in that hospital. I personally saw how the aim of the so-called "hospital" was basically not to cure or help Falun Dafa practitioners but instead was exactly the opposite. The persecution of Falun Gong practitioners was taken a step further there. I thoroughly came to understand the essence of the evil authorities in their attempt to create a news blockade, the intensity of their aggravated persecution, and their fabrication of lies.
  • Dafa Practitioner Cruelly Force-Fed for 50 Days in Hewan Forced Labour Camp

    During this period, he was still forced to get up at 6 am and climb up and down the stairways continuously without rest until about 10-11pm each day. Police in the camp didn't treat him as a human being and didn't care whether he would survive their abuse. After being force-fed for 50 days, his family was finally allowed to see him. He was in such bad shape physically that they could hardly recognize him. His mother and wife both wept uncontrollably; it was unbearable for them to face him directly.

Other practitioners were trying to protect her from being taken away and demanded that the perpetrator be punished. Zheng Jie said ferociously, "In a moment, you will know the consequences!" A few minutes later, two male police officers came in. One of them was Gao Feng, the head of the prison's political division. They immediately began to beat the practitioners violently. A special group of 20 inmates who had been organized just to persecute Falun Gong practitioners also came in.

  • Heizuizi Women's Forced Labour Camp Attempts to Force Practitioner to Renounce Dafa in Vain

    In the labour camp, the "transformation rate" has a quota to be maintained at a 90% level. To achieve this, 7 or 8 policemen, instructed by their supervisor, tortured her to an extreme. However, their efforts to force her to renounce her belief were all in vain. Then, they took out pre-written "Agreement to Transform" statements for her to sign. She refused, of course. The group of policemen forced her down onto the ground, some grabbed her arms, while some pressed and held her legs. Two of them held her hand and forced her fingerprint onto the agreement.

  • Crimes Committed by Wang Shuchun from the Taian City "610 Office"

    For the purpose of greed and personal gain, Wang Shuchun incited his subordinates to exert all their efforts to persecute Falun Gong. Many kind policemen and heads of different organisations were forced to participate in this crackdown of innocent Falun Gong practitioners; out of ignorance, misunderstanding, and because of Wang's insistence, these people committed horrible crimes. Wang Shuchun also ordered various organisations and street administration offices to run a propaganda campaign to defame Falun Gong.
  • Falun Dafa Practitioner Ms. Liu Tongling Tortured to Death in the Harbin City Drug Rehabilitation Centre

    Her family asked, "How could someone die after just a few days in your place?" The police made excuses saying, "We did not want to detain her. It was Zhang Guojun from the "610 Office" of the Daqing Petroleum Administration Bureau who told us 'You have to keep Liu Tongling.'" When the police tried to keep the family from seeing her body and preparing it for a funeral, the family asked for written documentation stating who it was that forbid them to see the body and the police had to relent. Upon seeing her body, the family found her face was distorted, with bruises around her eyes. Her nose was broken from the brutal force-feeding and her mouth was decaying. There were dark bruises all over her body, deep marks on her swollen wrists, and obvious marks from electric shocks near her heart.
  • Practitioner Ms. Long Ying Suffers at Hands of Police in Baimalong Labour Camp

    The Jiang Zemin regime has been bloodily persecuting those who believe in "Truth, Compassion, Tolerance." As human beings, practitioners also have limits to how much their human bodies can sustain. As a result, it is no surprise that some practitioners have suffered severe mental trauma and mental collapse, or hurt themselves after being subjected to constant terror and torture in the forced labour camps. These incidences in turn expose the degree of the brutality and inhumanity of the persecution.
  • Secret Documents Released from Jilin Province Demand a 95% "Conversion Rate" by 2005

    Around November 10, 2003, Jilin Province organized a guarantor system for the practitioners in each department.

  • Cruel Torture at Jilin Jail Shows no Regard for Human Life

    Currently Jilin Jail is still very vicious in persecuting Dafa practitioners. One can hardly imagine how vicious the persecution is without these personal experiences. Jilin Jail mandate even instructs each police team that Falun Dafa practitioners should not be allowed to die in regular jail cells. All of them should be sent to the "small" or "strictly monitored" cells. In these cells, all deaths will be counted as a "suicide" or a "natural death."
  • Senseless Violence Against Falun Dafa Practitioners in Hunan Province

    After arresting Dafa practitioners, they tell their families, "Pay to get them out, otherwise, we will send them to the forced labour camp or to prison!" Oftentimes, about five or six Dafa practitioners are abducted at once, and their families are forced to pay for their release. The authorities never give the reason for these extortions or issue any receipts. Many Falun Dafa practitioners' families have had to suffer a great deal in order to scrape together or borrow the money, and they have travelled very long distances to pay the extortion fees to release their family members.
