Exposing the Brutalities at Huanxiling Forced Labour Camp in Jilin City, Jilin Province
2007-06-01
Shocking with electric batons, beating with spiked clubs, and kicking and punching is the torture method police used the most. One day at the beginning of March 2001, Li Yingpeng was suddenly called to the office and was shocked with electric batons for half an hour for no reason. During the massive torturing on March 11th, 2001, 37 practitioners of the 50 practitioners on the fourth floor in the Education Team were tortured by more than a dozen police with electric batons and spiked clubs. Bai Jingzhi had fractured ribs. Jiang Mifeng and Song Wenming had their backs injured from the torture. -
Baimalong Forced Labour Camp in Hunan Province Responsible for the Arrests of Visitors to Practitioner Ms. Liu Dan
2007-06-01On May 16th, 2007, four relatives attempted to visit detained prisoner Ms. Liu Dan in Baimalong Forced Labour Camp. A guard working at the camp refused to let them visit that day, because they had seen Ms. Liu the previous week. The relatives argued but were referred to the head of the camp. The official refused visits and accused Liu Dan's relatives of finding people to destroy and expose Majialong Forced Labour Camp. The Shifeng District Police Station was called to take Liu's four relatives and friend away because they had no identification. Mao Xiangtao was detained for five days. Tang Fengying and Liu's friend were each jailed for ten days. -

Art Studio Students Miss Their Teacher Mr. Zhang Yinfu
2007-05-31Tragically, art teacher Mr. Zhang Yinfu was arrested by the public security bureau on April 21st. That night, teacher Zhang finished teaching and chatted with one of his student's parent at 11:00 p.m. when he left his studio. The next morning, the students came to school but their teacher was not there. Teacher Zhang's office had been ransacked and left a mess. Several investigators came to question other teachers (hired by teacher Zhang). At this moment everyone asked, "Where is teacher Zhang?" Finally the news came out that public security was investigating teacher Zhang as a Falun Gong practitioner. No wonder teacher Zhang is so kind, for he practises Falun Gong. Falun Gong is the practice of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. The department persecuting teacher Zhang is the Bao Ming Detention Centre Xinan Neighbourhood Security. -

The Chinese Communist Party Is Hiding Its Second Verdict Against Cao Dong from the Public
2007-05-31In May 2006, Dafa practitioner Cao Dong met with the European Parliament's Vice President, Mr. Edward McMillan-Scott. As a result, he was arrested. Mr. Cao was charged with "colluding with overseas anti-CCP forces" and "accepting an illegal interview." On February 8th, 2007, he was sentenced to five years of imprisonment. After the sentence, Mr. Cao's defence lawyer made a statement that "the trial decision does not conform to the facts" according to new evidence he collected. In order to cover up their crime of depriving Chinese citizens of their basic human rights, the judicial system operated by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) ignored the voice of justice and malevolently insisted on convening a second trial in private. -

Police in Changchun, Jilin Province Rampantly Arrest Practitioners and Search Their Homes
2007-05-30Since March 2007, many practitioners in Changchun have been arrested, persecuted, and had their homes searched by the police and Public Security Bureau agents in their local districts. It seems that every two or three days several practitioners are arrested. Dozens of practitioners have recently been taken into custody. The police go to a practitioner's home and then deceive him or her into opening the door for them. If that ploy is not successful, they use a locksmith to break into the home, the police search it, and confiscate any Falun Dafa materials and related items and arrest the practitioner. -
The Suffering of a Mother
2007-05-30I have searched hard for the proper words but I don't seem to be able to find any that accurately describe the feelings of a mother for her children. Her son Zheng Zhicheng was sentenced to three years in 1999 because he practises Falun Dafa. At the end of 2002, he was sentenced to three more years. Her son-in-law Wei Danquan was forced to retire from the army after the persecution began. His home was frequently ransacked, and he was monitored and detained many times. In 2003, he was sent to a forced labour camp. Seeing their son and son-in-law mistreated so terribly, her husband could not bear the trauma and passed away. Can you imagine what she must be feeling? -

Cases of Falun Dafa Practitioners Being Persecuted in Tieli City, Heilongjiang Province

On June 1st, 2006, he was transferred to Hulan Prison in Heilongjiang Province, where he continuously suffered persecution.

They also threatened, "You'll be beaten every day if you don't yield." Practitioner Sun Yuemin was forced to wear a torture instrument called "big branch stick" that weights 44 lbs, is 50 centimetres long and 2 inches wide, and has steel rings on both sides.

Calling for Help -- Rescue My Sister, Falun Gong Practitioner Zhou Meihua
2007-05-29My sister Zhou Meihua lives in Dalian, Liaoning Province in mainland China. In March 2007, she was arrested because she was distributing leaflets exposing the persecution. She was imprisoned in a forced labour camp and has been tortured, including being beaten by police. Within just a month of imprisonment, Meihua looked like a different person. She was very thin and weak. Her hair was cut short and she was in camp uniform. Her face was bathed in tears. Her hands were red and swollen and some of the skin had peeled off. My mother suspected it was as a result of torture. When she asked what had happened, the guard answered that my sister is "too stubborn." -
A Young Chinese Practitioner's Essay: Mother's Love
2007-05-29My mother is a Falun Gong practitioner. When I was one-and-a-half years old, mother was forcefully taken to a detention centre or prison time and time again, and I had to live with my father and grandmother. Mother conducted a hunger strike, refusing food and water for ten days. The labour camp guards inserted a tube through mother's nostrils to force feed her; the guards filled highly-concentrated salt water into my mother's stomach, and the salt water burst from mother's nasal cavity and oral cavity. Mother's stomach was so swollen that she tossed on the bed due to the pain, without closing her eyes all night long. Fearing responsibility for my mother's death, the labour camp agreed to release her. When my near-death mother saw me, she opened her cracked mouth and smiled. -

2007-05-29The methods that Liu Shaoshi, director of the Weiningying Forced Labour Camp in Benxi, Liaoning Province, uses to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners are extremely sinister and ruthless.
