A Call for Conscience: Appalling Stories of Persecution
2007-04-07
There was a Falun Dafa practitioner Zhou from Liaoning Province who was detained in Chifeng Detention Centre. One night during the detention period, the police took her to an unknown place. The room was filled with torture devices and the police used these devices on her all night long. The next day when she was taken back, all who saw her were shocked and dumbfounded. Her skin was cracked and her flesh was gaping. Her buttocks had been shocked with electric batons and it looked burnt and charred. She could not sit or lie down on her back and could only lie on her stomach. Her hair had been pulled so hard that she was left with only tufts of hair on her head. -
Practitioners Tortured with "Stretch Torture Chamber" at Weiningying Forced Labour Camp in Liaoning Province
2007-04-07Since the persecution began on July 20th, 1999, about 1,000 Falun Dafa practitioners have been detained in Weiningying Forced Labour Camp. From 2005 to 2006, a special building was built to persecute practitioners, and thousands upon thousands of yuan went towards persecuting Falun Gong. Now about 18 to 19 practitioners are detained there and are monitored every day. The guards refuse to allow family members to meet with the steadfast practitioners. Heavy labour and starvation, plus torture, make it feel as though one day is one year. There is a small solitary cell called the "Stretch Torture Chamber," used to torture practitioners who have not been "transformed." One practitioner was stretched for over 100 days, and his face was swollen very large. When released, he was close to death and so was sent away. -

During the long period that he has been detained, Mr. Lu firmly resisted the persecution. He uses all kinds of opportunities to inform the criminal prisoners who monitor him about the true nature of Falun Gong, teaches them the principles of proper conduct, and answers their questions about different aspects of life. The criminal prisoners have come to truly respect and admire Lu Chunbin. He has been tied up, hung up with his arms behind his back, and brutally beaten. However, none of the methods and tactics used have worked against him. Thus, he was put in isolation and was detained there alone for a long time. -

Practitioner Ms. Sun Shuqin Recounts the Persecution She Experienced at Her Workplace, in a Mental Hospital and a Brainwashing Centre - Part 1
2007-04-05I went to the Beijing Appeal Office in October 1999 to inform people about the true nature of Falun Gong. I was stopped and asked if I was a Falun Gong practitioner and where I was from. I answered honestly so I was arrested. My mother received a phone call from my bank, asking me to write a statement promising to no longer practise Falun Gong. I refused to do so. At that time, there were many cases of arrests and layoffs of Falun Gong practitioners. Someone suggested getting a mental illness statement for me to save my job. The doctor at the hospital declared that I had “paranoid schizophrenia,” basing his findings on the fact that I would rather give up my job than promise not to practise Falun Gong. I went on a hunger strike to protest. The doctors inserted a feeding tube into my stomach to force-feed me with food and medicine. -
