Recent Arrests and Extortion of Falun Gong Practitioners by Gucheng County Police in Hebei Province
2006-08-26
In March 2006, the 610 Office started another round of persecution against Falun Gong practitioners. Police arrested practitioners, sent them to forced labour camps, and extorted money from them. According to an inside source: "The director of the police department assigned quotas to each subordinate section and police station. We dared not touch the real criminals, so we decided on Falun Gong practitioners to make up the numbers. It was easy to do and profitable, since we could hold them until they forked over the money. When the police department ran over budget, they would arrest 30-40 Falun Gong practitioners and get 200-300 thousand yuan." -

Brutal Persecutions in Kaiping Forced Labour Camp
2006-08-25A building in the camp was built for the purpose of jailing Falun Gong practitioners. On one occasion, camp director, about twenty male guards, and the female guards in charge of practitioners brought a bag of "constraining belts," a bag of handcuffs, and electric batons to the building. They rushed into several rooms, tried to pull practitioners out of their rooms, and beat and cursed them. When we heard the sounds of beating, cursing, and electric shocks from other rooms, we understood that the practitioners in the other rooms were being seriously beaten again. The sounds of crying, screaming and cursing all mixed together. Practitioners were beaten so that their heads were cut and bloody. Blood splattered all over the hallway and in the rooms. -

The Humiliation and Suffering I Endured During My Detention in Beijing's Tuanhe Forced Labour Camp
2006-08-24I started practising Falun Dafa in 1996, and benefited physically and mentally from the practice. I held the position of manager at a well-known foreign company in Beijing prior to the regime's ban of Falun Dafa. I worked hard and my achievements were outstanding. My superiors had great trust in me. Later, during the persecution against Dafa practitioners, my company forced me to resign due to pressure from the Communist regime. The police arrested me five times because I appealed for Dafa, did the Falun Gong exercises in public and exposed the persecution. My most traumatic incidents took place after the last arrest. My experiences are a demonstration of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) fanatic wickedness and evilness. -
