2006-08-20It has been more than four months since Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Wang Xiaodong from Huadian City, Jilin Province was arrested at home while carrying water to his house. Because he would not confess to the police, they tortured him using methods that included force-feeding with petrol and a machine used to shake his head. The 610 Office planted fabricated evidence to take Mr. Wang Xiaodong to court, but the Huadian City Procuratorate rejected their requests three times for a lack of sufficient evidence. The 610 Office continued to collect so-called "criminal evidence" and after several delays the Procuratorate held a closed trial for Mr. Wang Xiaodong on July 6th. -

Recollections of Ms Yu Lianchun and Her Persecution Death at Jinan Women's Forced Labour Camp
2006-08-18I was very shocked a few days ago when I read the news on the Internet that Ms Yu Lianchun had been persecuted to death. In September 2000, when I was imprisoned at the First Women's Labour Camp Yu Lianchun was transferred to the Division where I was held. She looked very young even though she was nearly fifty years old. I was told that she was subjected to a lot of torture while she was at the First Division. She was beaten many times by the police and inmates because she refused to give up practising Falun Gong. She was only allowed to sleep four hours per day, and was not allowed to sleep until everyone else was asleep. She had to begin work at the warehouse before everyone else got up. She was forced to attend brainwashing classes and she received unceasing threats every day. She became absent-minded, had dull vision, and sometimes talked to herself. -
