  • Practitioner Mr. Wang Lianqing from Jixi City, Heilongjiang Province Died as a Result of Persecution

    Mr. Wang Lianqing went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. He was arrested by policemen and detained at the Muling Mine Security Office. Han Congjia (male), beat Mr. Wang brutally, to the point that he had a mental breakdown. Eighteen days later he was released, but he could not work or live normally. He was totally different from the compassionate, rational individual that he was before. No one knows what kind of torture he suffered when he was detained those eighteen days. Sometimes, when people wished to talk to him, he would not say anything and sealed his mouth. On July 18th, 2006, as he was walking along the street aimlessly, Mr. Wang Lianqing was hit by a car and died.

  • Memories of My Fellow Practitioner Cheng Hanbo

    I am a practitioner from Jiamusi who has been forced to be homeless. Today, I browsed the Minghui/Clearwisdom website and learned that Cheng Hanbo was persecuted to death. I can hardly believe this is true. I saw her picture and could not help crying. In 2001, I was detained in a forced labour camp. Around the end of September, practitioners were forced to sit and watch TV. I noticed Cheng Hanbo was also there. Our eyes met and we made a silent agreement not to cooperate with such a persecution.

    One of my friends has been held at Shijiazhuang City Forced Labour Camp merely because of his belief in Falun Dafa and "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." The forced labour camp holds over twenty Falun Dafa practitioners. The guards force them to work intensively. They have to work about 13-14 hours per day, and then work overtime to earn money for the guards. The most frequent work is to process various boxes, cartons and containers, including the containers for the "Five-Ram Cake," gift boxes for the Jinyuan Hotel, gift boxes for the Hebei Hotel, sacks for "Three Deer Milk," napkins for "Five Grains Ritual Field," containers for "Huiyuan Juice," carry-out boxes, cartons for the drugs from Huabei Pharmaceutics and Shenwei Pharmacy, and lids for some oral medicines, etc.

  • Ms. Wang Yuhong Has Been Persecuted by Jiamusi City Forced Labour Camp in Heilongjiang Province for Six Years

    The forced labour camps use many persecution methods. The rooms are shared by four or five people and are very unpleasant. Only half of a wooden scoop of water is provided every morning. The toilet is inside the room and has no cover. The windows are kept shut even in the warm weather. The smell inside the rooms is terrible, and there is not enough oxygen. Everyday, some practitioner got fastened to the bedside, window, or metal chairs because she was caught doing the Falun Gong exercises. At the beginning, violence was used to make practitioners give up their beliefs. Later, they attempted to trick and deceive practitioners to achieve their purpose.
