They forced me to watch TV programmes slandering Dafa. They found some former practitioners who had gone against Dafa to tell me lies. Guards wrote a "guarantee statement to stop practising" for me attempted to force me to sign and fingerprint it. I didn't follow their orders. A group of guards then held me down.

  • Jilin Province Prison Management Bureau's Central Hospital Uses "Inmate Care" to Torture Prisoners

    Since 2000, the Central Hospital of Jilin Province's Prison Management Bureau has instigated the "inmate care" personnel to commit horrendous crimes against prisoners in need of medical attention and Falun Gong practitioners. The "inmate care" personnel were very quick in understanding the intentions of the camp guards, prison doctors and nurses. Towards those inmates they did not like, they would inject the entire length of the syringe needle into the buttocks. They also competed with each other for the fun of injecting inmates in various ways to inflict pain. Sometimes they would repeat intravenous injections back and forth several times although the injection was successful on the first try. Sometimes they would first bang the needle against the wall and then inject it into the patients' buttocks. This way the needle tip became crooked and would pull out flesh when it was withdrawn.
