  • Despicable Tactics Used in Baimalong Women's Forced Labour Camp in Zhuzhou City, Hunan Province

    Guards at Baimalong Women's Forced Labour Camp used despicable tactics to torture practitioners in attempts to brainwash them. In early July 2006, to cover up their crimes of brutally torturing practitioners, the labour camp held a so-called "assisting education" conference, which was broadcast on TV. They invited several families of the tortured practitioners, who suffered mental trauma as a result of the brainwashing. The labour camp distorted the facts to deceive people and cover up their crimes. The truth is that they tortured practitioners to the edge of death. On the surface, they used those family members to present their efforts as good work.

  • The Persecution of Ms. Han Guirong from Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province

    After July 22nd, 1999, police exerted pressure on my husband to make me renounce Falun Gong and prevent me from appealing for Falun Dafa. They threatened to withhold my husband's paycheck and confiscate his apartment. Constable Han Shaojie and Police Chief Zhou Xianting had several meetings with my husband. Each time they coerced him into providing "guarantee statements" to try to force me to give up practising Falun Gong. Due to the pressure and the malicious persecution, my husband deserted Dafa and used divorce as a means to try to frighten me into giving up cultivation. Since I had no job and owned no home, what awaited me after the divorce was homelessness and destitution

  • Suspicious Physical Check-ups and Blood Tests in Beijing Women's Forced Labour Camp

    In 2003, I was arrested in Beijing when explaining the facts about Falun Dafa, and sentenced to two years of forced labour, served at the Beijing Women's Labour Camp. After being released from the camp, I was shocked to read the reports about the Communist Party's live harvesting of practitioners' organs for profit! I immediately recalled the physicals we were forced to undergo two to three times a year inside the camp. They may have been for organ harvesting purposes. They gave me three major physicals when I was at the camp in less than two years. They would always test our blood as well, telling us the purpose was to "check for hepatitis."
  • Practitioner Ms. Cui Hongyan from Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province Is Arrested

    At about 8:00 a.m. on November 1st, 2006, practitioner Ms. Cui Hongyan was arrested by police from Tieren Public Security Sub-bureau and Youyi Community Police Station in Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province. Recently, more than 30 of Ms. Cui's relatives filed a petition to the appropriate judicial department, challenging the legality of her arrest. They reasoned that her practice of Falun Gong was a right to personal belief guaranteed by the Constitution. They argued that sentencing her to prison was illegal. Tieren Public Safety Sub-Bureau and its officers were therefore illegally arresting good citizens, which is clearly against the law.
