  • Tears and Blood of Dalian: The Persecution of Dafa Practitioner Ms. Sun Yan, Part 1

  • Intensified Persecution of Falun Dafa Practitioners at Jinzhou City Forced Labour Camp

    A relative recently went to visit Qi Mingli, but was not allowed to see him. This relative tried to tell the truth of Falun Gong to the police at the labour camp. Li Fenglin, who is in charge of persecuting Falun Gong, said, "If you keep talking, I will put you in the labour camp too." After asking the police on several occasions to see Mingli, his family members were finally able to see him. They saw that Qi Mingli's legs were paralysed, as he walked only with heavy support from others. This is the real reason why the forced labour camp doesn't want people to visit him. They are afraid of their crimes being exposed.
  • Practitioners' Family Members Expose the Underhanded Dealings of a Detention Centre Shop in Harbin

    Family members came to the shop to learn news about the practitioners being held there. The shop's prices are extremely high. A box of instant noodles costs 20 yuan at a regular shop but is marked 60 yuan there. Some items are 50 percent more expensive than regular prices and some are twice as much as the regular price. Some family members asked the clerks if their family members were still detained here. The clerks told them, "Yes," so the families bought several things and asked the clerks to send them in. But when the clerks came back, they did not give the family members any receipts. When the family asked for the receipts, the clerks said that the practitioners had been transferred.

On September 4th 2005, I again heard the news of Ms. Ren Shujie's death as a result of torture. I recalled my short acquaintance with them.

Ms. Shi Shengying was frequently tortured until she fainted. It is my regret that I can no longer see Shi Shengying.

  • Exposing the Dark Side of the Beijing Women's Forced Labour Camp

    We are the family of Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Liu Guifu. We are writing this appeal letter in a state of grave concern because we cannot accept that she is at this moment being tormented in a Chinese government facility because of her firm belief in Falun Gong and her unwillingness to be "transformed" and thereby manipulated to deceive other people. When we saw her, Liu was as thin as a stick, and we could hardly recognise her. She used to weight around 154 pounds and now she looked less than 110 pounds. Her hair had turned grey.

  • Facts about the Recent Persecution of Dafa Practitioners at Dalian Forced Labour Camp

    Falun Gong practitioners' work units start work at 6 a.m. and work for more than ten hours a day in the forced labour camp. Practitioner Liu Jilian, though very weak, was forced to collect scrap, but was not allowed to rest. He was forced to perform the work one-handed, because the other hand was disabled. The guards treat practitioners as the main production force and get bonuses if production is high. As practitioners are released, the number of people working is reduced, but the work quota is not reduced. If the quotas are not met, the deputy captain puts pressure on the guards.
