Torture, Death Cases, Organ Harvesting

  • My Experiences in Three Forced Labour Camps

    On October 23, 2000, I went to Beijing to appeal to higher authorities on behalf of Falun Dafa with three other practitioners. At 10:00 p.m., we were arrested in a hotel. Our cash was also confiscated. When one practitioner walked toward the doors to leave the lobby, police officers caught him, pushing him to the ground and beating him. The practitioner's nose was bleeding, and his clothes were torn. We were detained and the other practitioners protested the detention. Officer Feng poured boiling water on them, and they were scalded badly. Later on we were detained in Zhangshi Forced Labour Camp. We worked as slaves until 10:00 p.m. or later.
  • Persecution Intensifies in Liaoning Province after the Truth of Organ Harvesting Broadcast via Tapping into the Cable TV Network

    On August 26th, 2006, only six miles away from the Sujiatun District, Liaoning Province (the secret concentration camp that witnesses claimed harvested organs from living Falun Dafa practitioners), the truth of this horrible crime was broadcast to the area by practitioners who successfully tapped into the local cable TV network. Local people said they watched the programme exposing the persecution for about an hour and a half. The day after, Central Public Security Bureau officials started a large-scale harassment of local Falun Dafa practitioners. At least ten Falun Dafa practitioners were arrested, and practitioners were forced to have their fingerprints taken.

  • The Persecution of Practitioner Ms. Gao Deyu, in Her 60's, from Sichuan Province

    In February 2004 National Security Division guards raided my home and sent me to a detention centre. I held a hunger strike the following day to protest the persecution. Guards told a doctor to force-feed me. I refused to cooperate with them and they didn’t succeed the first time. During the second attempt, agent Liu called the city 610 Office and said, "We can’t force-feed Gao Deyu. She may be dying!" Zhang at the 610 Office said, "Go ahead and force-feed her! I’ll back you up if she dies from it." I lost consciousness from the pain. I faintly recall them feeding me with something, and it smelled like drugs. After the feeding, they pulled out the tube, and the 2.2 ft. tube was dripping with blood.
  • The Persecution I Suffered at the Nanning City No. 1 Detention Centre in Guangxi Autonomous Region

    On October 27th, 2004, several police officers from the National Security Team arrested me off the street. They had previously broken into my home and searched it when no one was at home. This time they "showcased" searching my home. One police officer carried a video recorder; one had a conventional camera and a third one had a digital camera. They sent me to Nanning City No. 1 Detention Centre. Inmates have to do daily slave labour until late at night. We were forced to make shoe insteps. If we could not finish the quota, we would have to work overnight. Many times we could only sleep one to two hours. The police agents often arrived with batons in hand to check the product quality. Some police officers poured water and salt on our injuries after they had beaten us.

  • The Persecution Falun Dafa Practitioners Are Suffering in Jidong Prison

    Practitioner Sun Jianzhong was sentenced to seven years in the prison. In December 2002, the 610 Office arrested and tortured Sun Jianzhong. On many occasions guards used telephone wires to shock Sun Jianzhong until he lost consciousness. They then woke him up with cold water and repeated the torture. Sun Jianzhong went on a hunger strike while in the detention centre, so the guards pried his mouth open with a pair of pliers and force-fed him. The guards also ordered prisoners to force-feed him with urine. They tortured him until his left side became paralysed.

Mr. Kong's eyes were so swollen after the beating that he could hardly see to walk down the road. He had to hold onto the wall to find his way. All his fingernails were burned with cigarettes and fell off. His ankles were bruised and bleeding from heavy shackles. His feet were so swollen that he could hardly walk.
  • The Brutal Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners in Jiangsu Province (Part 3)

    Practitioner Ms. Zhou Fenglin, 32 years old, was arrested at home on December 27th, 2000, by police. To protest the arbitrary detention Ms. Zhou launched a hunger strike. She was put on the "Forbidden Board" for nine days and hung up for 17 nights. The "Forbidden Board" is the most severe punishment, used exclusively to torture death penalty prisoners. The victim is handcuffed and shackled tightly to a wooden board, so that she cannot move, not even when relieving herself. This punishment is so cruel that after only several hours on the board, most people would rather die than be tortured in this way. Ms. Zhou passed away around midnight on January 9th, 2001.

They were refused a visit so they went to the division head's office and said to him, "Yang Jianpo is on the brink of death and doesn’t fit the requirements of a prison detainee." The division head said, "I have to ask my superiors. If my superiors don’t let you see him, you should go home and stop bugging me." But the family would not leave and eventually Yang Jianpo's daughter was allowed to see her father. She saw her father lying on a bed, barely breathing. Yang Jianpo saw her and said, "Remember, your dad didn’t do anything wrong. I absolutely will not eat. I will appeal with my body. I didn’t commit any crimes!"

In order to protest the persecution, Mr. Gao Tianhong has been on hunger strike since September 2006. He has been force-fed. He is as thin as a skeleton, and his life is in critical condition.

  • Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners in Guangxi Province

    Ms Zhang Yulan is a 65-year-old Falun Gong practitioner. Officials and police harassed her at her home many times after the persecution began on July 20th, 1999, trying to force her to give up Falun Gong. The lawless officials coerced Zhang Yulan to go to Longtan Village Office in 2002 to sign documents and be fingerprinted. They brainwashed her for half a day. The following year, in 2003, they brainwashed her again for another half-day. On April 11th, 2006, Zhang Yulan was reading Falun Gong books with some other practitioners when some officials jumped into her backyard and arrested them. The same group of officials harassed her again at home on June 13th, 2006.
