Over 260 Falun Gong Practitioners Imprisoned at Wangcun Forced Labour Camp in Shandong Province
2007-04-14
Guard Luo Guangrong, 42-year-old, is an instructor of Division Eight and also one of the most vicious guards. He often roars in meetings, saying that others must do whatever he has told them to do, even if the thing he was demanding was wrong. He often handcuffs Falun Gong practitioners to the toilet window and doesn't allow them to sleep. Sometimes, he punishes practitioners by making them sit in the hallway, facing the wall, until midnight after a long day of labour. -
Ms. Yu Xianna Suffers Brutal Persecution in Wanjia Forced Labour Camp in Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province
2007-04-13In February 2006, practitioner Ms. Yu Xianna was tied up and tortured after refusing to write the "three statements" at the Wanjia Forced Labour Camp. Team leader Guo Qiuli tied Ms. Yu's hands behind her back with ropes. Then she was hung up by the rope on a metal bar in the storage room with both legs approximately half a metre above the ground. On the night of February 9th, Ms. Yu declared all her so-called "comments and opinions," spoken or written, to be null and void. As a result, guard Cong Zhili called her to the office and beat her up brutally. Cong used her fists to thump Ms. Yu's head; Yu's vision immediately blurred and she almost fainted. Cong then beat Ms. Yu's face using her hands. Cong's hands were numb, painful, and shaking uncontrollably when she finally stopped the beating. Then she forced Ms. Yu to stand and did not allow her to sleep. -
Saved by Calling Out "Falun Dafa Is Great" after a Car Accident, Mr. Jin Xinnian Is Arrested by Investigating Officers for Telling the Truth
2007-04-13On December 21st, 2006, around 4:00 a.m., Mr. Jin Xinnian was driving. It was foggy and the road was icy and slippery. On a right turn, he lost control of the car and slipped into a seven to eight metre deep pond that was used to hold industrial wastewater. Two tyres burst after the car fell into the pond. All the passengers (including Mr. Jin) fell into the pond. Two of them were injured and one passed out. At this perilous moment, Mr. Jin thought of Falun Dafa. Together with the other workers, he shouted "Falun Dafa is great!" While they were shouting, the wrecked car door opened. When the traffic police investigated the accident, they asked how the workers were able to open such a damaged car door. Mr. Jin told the police, "When I said 'Falun Dafa is great,' the door opened by itself." Because of this, the traffic police reported Mr. Jin and he was arrested. -

Over one thousand undercover police and armed police were among the crowd. Practitioners distributed free handouts that informed people about the true nature of Falun Gong among the crowd. It was quite risky. They could have been arrested if they were discovered. The police arrested some residents for reading the handouts. Several of them were sent to the Daqing City Detention Centre.

Recently Learned Facts of Persecution at Baoding Forced Labour Camp in Hebei Province
2007-04-12There was an incident in 2005, where the labour camp was confronting an "important investigation." Guards said that to deal with the investigation would take lots of money. But the labour camp was short of money at the time. In order to solve the problem, they took 200,000 yuan from the "persecuting Falun Gong fund." We have no idea how much this fund really has, but certainly it wouldn't be a small amount. Guards were heard saying that the 610 Office had a special fund for the "persecuting Falun Gong team," but the fund assigned to slave-labour production was comparatively much smaller, only ten thousand yuan in 2004 for a company detaining more than 50 practitioners. This means that guards could torture practitioners as much as they'd like without worrying about hurting them so much that the quota for slave-labour production could not be met. -
The Persecution of Practitioners from Dongli District in Tianjin City
2007-04-12Ms. Dong Guiying was arrested, detained, and locked up in a brainwashing centre about nine times between 2000 and 2006. Ms. Dong was forced to carry heavy beanbags at the Banqiao Women's Forced Labour Camp for over a month. As a result, she developed an abdominal lump and was released for medical treatment in April 2002. When she was home recovering from her illness in August 2002, a group of policemen broke into her residence late at night once again. They dragged and pushed her, and took her to the local police station. The policemen were planning to send her back to the labour camp. The policemen beat her to the floor, making her stomach hurt so severely that she was motionless. She was sent to the Dongli Chinese Medicine Hospital. Following surgery, she was diagnosed with second-stage ovarian cancer. -
Letter from a 15-Year-Old Girl to a Policeman -- To He Yu, Head of the National Security Team in the Liaohe Oil Field
2007-04-12This year I lost the chance to reunite with my family and enjoy Chinese New Year. My mother Cao Chunyan was arrested while she was working one month ago and is now detained in Xinglongtai Detention Centre. We are not in a mood for celebrating the New Year, and we worry about the safety of my mother every day and every night. On Chinese New Year's Eve, my grandfather and grandmother were in despair and their eyes were filled with tears. My father was anxious and silent. My younger sister, who is seven years old, and I held each other and cried. We missed our mother so much and no one was in the mood to eat. I fell asleep as I cried, and I dreamed that my mother was beaten by police with a baton. I was so scared that I cried. -
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Persecutes Falun Gong by Restraining Practitioners from Leaving China
2007-04-12The new passport law of the People's Republic of China (abbreviated as the passport law) was signed by Chinese President Hu Jintao and became effective in January 2007. Most people would think that the new passport law would loosen the control on Chinese people entering and leaving the country, but I found out that it is not this simple. A friend of mine submitted an application for a new passport and was given the following list of "Supplementary Documents required for Personal Travel Abroad" by the Port of Entry Authority of Hengshi City in Hebei Province. It is clearly written on the list that the applicant's local police station must submit documents showing that the applicant is not a Falun Gong practitioner. -

Belated News: Non-Practitioner Mr. Li Weiji Sentenced to Eight Years in Prison for Helping to Rescue Persecuted Falun Dafa Practitioners
2007-04-11I met Li Weiji in late August 2002 in China. He told me that his sister, Li Weixun, was severely persecuted for practising Falun Gong. He decided to return to China and rescue Dafa practitioners who, like his sister, were being persecuted. With help from two other practitioners, Li Weiji collected persecution evidence. He took me and another practitioner (whose lower spine was broken from a police beating) to the home of his wife's sister so we could write our persecution experiences. I was truly moved by his sacrificing everything in an effort to rescue practitioners. His wife's sister and her husband were later persecuted for keeping us at their home. I heard that Li Weiji was injured in a beating and was sentenced to eight years in prison.
