Torture, Death Cases, Organ Harvesting

  • Parents of Ms. Gao Rongrong Speak Out to Demand Justice for their Daughter Who Was Disfigured and Tortured to Death

    "Our daughter Gao Rongrong, 37, was subjected to inhuman torture in Longshan Forced Labour Camp. The guards shocked Gao Rongrong for six to seven hours. The skin of her face, ears, neck, back and ankle were severely burned and charred. There were big blisters. Although she escaped for the prison hospital she was later re-captured and tortured to death. Why did they inform us one week after Gao Rongrong was admitted to the hospital and in a deep coma? If they had informed us on the day (June 6th) when she just was admitted to the hospital, Gao Rongrong could have been saved with her family's support. Why and how could this turn out like this?"
  • How I Was Persecuted at Masanjia Forced Labour Camp - Even Today I Still Have Difficulty Walking

    "I was brutally tortured at the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp. After three years of torture, I developed many diseases including heart disease, hypertension, vasculitis, cystitis and diabetes. Even now, I still have difficulty walking. In early November 2002, the division leader tried to force me to wear a label indicating that I am being "re-educated" through forced labour. I sternly refused and said, "I am a good person. I didn't commit any crimes. I refuse to wear such a label." Upon saying this, I was tied up with ropes by the guards for three days. The police hung me by handcuffs for more than two hours each night. Some practitioners were tied up like this for more than twenty days."
  • The Torture and Persecution I Experienced at the Jiamusi Forced Labour Camp

    "I was arrested while distributing materials about the truth of Falun Gong in December 2002. On January 6th, 2003, the public security sub-bureau of Jiamusi suburb sent me and nine other practitioners to the local labour camp without any legal procedure. We were led into dorms on the first floor, in which there were "collaborators" awaiting us. These people surrounded me and persuaded me to write statements to betray Dafa, but I told them I would never do such a thing. Then some of them pressed me on the bed, and wrested one of my arms under the side of bed to my back and the other arm up from my shoulder. Then they kept me in this position and handcuffed the wrists tightly. The handcuff cut into my muscle and I suffered painfully."

In the labour camp, he was treated inhumanely, forced to labour beyond his physical strength, and brainwashed. He developed mental problems and died on September 19th, 2004.
  • Rape Victim Ms. Liu Jizhi: "I Want to Expose the Evil Persecution"

    "Why is it so hard to be a good person in China? They dared to do such violence to me, a good lady in her fifties. I hereby call on all people with conscience to pay attention to the evil crimes that happened to me. If the persecution of Falun Gong does not stop, these tragedies will continue. Right now, I am suffering after the shock of being raped, I feel blurry minded, and my lower body is in constant pain. If I did not know from Falun Dafa that suicide is a sin, I probably would have already left this world. I lost the courage to live, and the confidence to face the world. I only hope the world's people will wake up. I wish this persecution will end soon, and wish these kinds of crimes will end soon!"
  • Shuangkou Forced Labour Camp in Tianjin City Is a Den of Evil Used to Persecute Practitioners

    Two years ago, when some criminals designated by the guards were slandering and smearing Teacher Li and Dafa, Mr. Chen Baoliang, a practitioner from Tianjin City, stood up and calmly said to them, "You can argue if you have enough reason, but do not call names at will." Just for saying this, the criminals publicly beat Mr. Chen to death. The guards later took his body to the hospital and got a medical certificate that said Mr. Chen had died of "a heart attack." The murderers were not held responsible for their actions. On the contrary, they were released three months ahead of schedule as a reward for "actively supporting government agents."
  • The Persecution at Shuangkou Forced Labour Camp in Tianjin

    "I am going to expose all I have witnessed when being an inmate in the Shuangkou Forced Labour Camp. Since practitioners are often transferred between teams and we were not allowed to talk to each other, also, all the tortures happened secretly. The first night of being there I was beaten with a big pickax handle, which is a torture every newcomer is subjected to. 67-year-old Zhang Baozhu, who was a government official, was beaten to the ground with the pickax handle. The guard yelled at him, "Now will you write a repentance letter?""

    Dafa practitioner Mr. Liu Jianjun was twice at the brink of death, and Ms. Zhao Xiaolu was tortured until she sustained brain damage. She lost the vision in her left eye and her leg muscles atrophied. She has not recovered. To this day, she still stumbles whenever she walks. In May 2002, four officers arrested Ms. Li Hong at her home. They took her to a brainwashing centre, where she was completely deprived of personal freedom for 32 months and was violently tortured.

She was also forced to stand for a long time in the chilly winter wind. After Jiang Zhenmei returned home, the authorities put her under long-term surveillance and arbitrarily harassed her. Along with the long-term mental stress of the persecution, Ms. Jiang became extremely weak, and died on October 28th, 2005.
  • The Persecution of Dafa Practitioners in Prison in Jiangxi Province

    The prison applied all kinds of soft and hard tactics to force the practitioners to "transform" and give up their belief in Falun Gong. The inmates were rewarded with a six-month term reduction if they forced a practitioner to "transform." Under such incitement and seduction, the inmates covered the practitioners' eyes, and beat and kicked them frenziedly. They violently whipped them with steel chains, handcuffed the practitioners' hands behind their backs and hung them up for long durations. This is only a fraction of the vicious treatment they meted out.
  • Urgently Rescue Changchun Practitioner Ms. Pei Shuhua

Instead of releasing her, the authorities transferred her to the central hospital of Jilin Province Prison Administration Bureau and continued their persecution. Visits by her family members have not been permitted. We still do not know if she is alive or dead or what her current condition is.

    "The police at the Plaza Precinct of Hengyang City arrested me on a tip while I was distributing leaflets exposing the persecution, and kept me in custody for 15 days. At the precinct, a young officer beat me savagely, grabbing me by the hair and repeatedly throwing me against the wall. He kicked me ferociously, and I was not allowed even to sit for the whole night. The pain in my head lasted for a year. Fifteen days after I was in detention, my husband got me out, spending over 4000 yuan as "asking-for-favour fees"."
