• Tight Information Blockade Hides Dark Secrets of Daily Tortures of Dafa Practitioners at Dabei Prison

  2003-11-21
  After the "life and death" tortures, Dafa practitioners go through a torment called "hell's gate." The guards try to force Dafa practitioners to curse the Teacher and compel them to abandon Dafa. For those who refuse to do so, several police officers will forcefully hold and guide the practitioner's hand to sign a document denouncing Dafa. If someone still refuses, they tie the practitioner with rope and glue sticky notes with swear words against Teacher all over his body, and keep him awake for 24 hours. Several people would point their fingers at the practitioner and verbally attack Teacher.

• Female Prison Tries to Force Practitioners to Sign "Guarantee Letters" by Hanging Them Up and Breaking Their Fingers

  2003-11-21
  At the time the temperature outside was about -30o C (-22o F), and the police did not let her wear a winter coat or pants. They placed her near the biggest drafts, where it was coldest. While cursing, the police hurled snow at the practitioners and then complained about the cold, even though the policemen were wearing heavy woolen outfits. They tortured Chu Li by forcing her to sit on the "Tiger Bench." The police said to the practitioners, "Our treatment of Falun Gong is justified by internal documents, so being beaten to death will be counted as suicide. After somebody dies, we'll throw their body at the base of the mountain to feed wild animals, and nobody will ever know."

The extent of the persecution against her was so severe that even one policeman commented, "They are so heartless. This torture is too horrible to witness."

• The 110 Emergency Hotline Is Used as a Tool to Persecute Falun Gong

  2003-11-19
  After the police abducted one Dafa practitioner, the practitioner witnessed this scene: A 110 staff member's mobile phone rang suddenly and they realised that they were being notified of an emergency to which they would have to respond. The person in charge said, "Turn off the mobile phones and pagers, and do not let them know where we are. Arresting an escaped criminal is not the same as arresting a Falun Gong practitioner. Falun Gong practitioners do not fight back when they are beaten or sworn at, and we can arrest them any time. However, it could be life-threatening to have to arrest an escaped criminal. What if something should happen to us?"

• Dafa Practitioners Held Indefinitely by Shibalihe Women's Labour Camp

  2003-11-19
  While other non-practitioner detainees in the labour camp were widely praised or received reduced detention sentences for guarding or persecuting Falun Gong practitioners, the Falun Gong practitioners received extended terms of detention. The labour camp generally asks for one month extension of practitioners' terms from the Labour Education Bureau, but the latter usually gives at least three months extension or even longer. Many Falun Gong practitioners have had their terms extended from three to eight months simply because they refused to take part in exams aiming at attacking and defaming Dafa. There is no rule for such extensions at all; the labour camp simply did it at will using any random excuse.

• The Cruel Persecution at the Shuiyin Homeless Centre in Guangzhou City

  2003-11-18
  They transferred me to the Homeless Centre located on Shuiyin Street, in the Tianhe District of Guangzhou City. Most of the policemen there were very wicked. Inside the Homeless Centre, I heard crying and the noise of electric batons shocking people all day long. The policemen frequently sprayed red-pepper water on people. They refused to give the babies milk or water and when the babies cried due to hunger, they sprayed red-pepper water into the room where the babies and their mums were jailed. They constantly detained many practitioners at one time. Sometimes there were over fifty practitioners detained at once.

  Once the torture starts the victim's arms instantly become red and swollen, and afterwards the victim is bruised and lacerated, or even crippled.
