  • "Pouring Into an Ice Pipe" -- A Torture at Wanjia Forced Labour Camp in Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province

In the winter, they open the window and strip off practitioners' clothing, and force them to sit on iron chairs with both hands handcuffed behind the back. The practitioners are forced to step on the ice-cold cement ground barefoot while water was poured on them. After the water freezes, their feet are frozen in the ice. The perpetrators call this punishment "Pouring Into an Ice Pipe." Sometimes, practitioners were handcuffed behind the back to the top of a two-metre-high bunk bed. Their feet were off the ground and the weight of the whole body fell on the wrists. At the very least, they went numb in both hands and fell unconscious; some were crippled in both arms from this torture. An elderly practitioner was hung up like this for three days straight, and eventually died.

  • First Hand Experience of Cruel Brainwashing at the Beijing Women's Forced Labour Camp (Part 6)

    There are about 130 people in each team in the camp, 90 per cent of whom are practitioners. There must be at least 1,000 practitioners in the camp, but they are never given the task of cooking. Only drug addicts, prostitutes, pimps, pornography vendors, and thieves can work in the kitchen. [Chinese buns are supposed to be fluffy and slightly sweet], but practitioners are constantly served with sticky buns, sour buns, salty buns, or rock-hard buns. Boiled vegetables taste like swill and constantly contain worms, bugs, flies, weed stems, and a residue of dirt on the bottom. Later the menu improved slightly and streaky pork or boiled pork skin was added to the menu twice a week but in meagre rations. In fact, many practitioners often don't get any pork at all. Occasionally fried eggs were added to the menu but meagrely rationed as well.

  • Facts about the Persecutors at Information Industry Department's No. 5 Research Institute in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province

    When the persecution of Falun Gong began, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regime forced the supervisors of the No. 5 Research Institute to put pressure on their management staff to execute the CCP's draconian policy. The management staff unwillingly carried out the cruel persecution towards the Falun Gong practitioners. Some practitioners went to Beijing to appeal to the government. If they were still employed at the Research Institute, they were threatened to be dismissed from their posts. If they were retired, then their pensions were reduced. For the first three months, they were given no income, and during the following six months, they were only given a total of 200 to 380 yuan, which is much lower than the basic amount needed to cover the average living costs for Guangzhou citizens.
  • First Hand Experience of Cruel Brainwashing at the Beijing Women's Forced Labour Camp (Part 5)

    When you, as a practitioner, are tortured to force you give up your belief, this is a test: Will you have anger inside your heart when you see that other detainees are showing off and dumping their leftover food into the rubbish bins on purpose or depriving you of your meals in front of your eyes while you don't have enough food to eat? Will you still be indifferent and care little about your physiological desires when you see in front of your eyes that other detainees are chewing and enjoying the charcoaled chicken and sausages on purpose brought from the shop inside the labour camp while you're not allowed to buy anything from there? Will your heart still be peaceful when you are forced to stay up all night long under the surveillance of the collaborators and the guards while others are sleeping soundly?
