  • A Forced Labour Camp Inmate: The Horrific Tortures Used on Falun Gong Practitioners in a Beijing Forced Labour Camp for Women

    "I was sent to a forced labour camp because I was addicted to drugs. I was designated as one of the "clampdown personnel," who were prison inmates assigned to oversee the activities of Falun Gong practitioners. Through the performance of my duties, I became acquainted with various reprehensible and deceitful methods employed to isolate and monitor people. Sometimes, in order to gain the approval of the division leader and obtain leniency and privileges for ourselves, we were driven to extremes, finding excuses to beat and insult the innocent practitioners. The prison supervisor favoured inmates who frequently beat and scolded the practitioners."
  • Two Incidents of Policeman Wei Wei's Torture of Practitioner Mr. Zhou Xiangyang in Tianjin City

    In the autumn of 2000, prison policeman Wei Wei brought 32-year-old Mr. Zhou Xiangyang to a secret room in the Shuangkou Forced Labour Camp in order to beat him to force him to give up Falun Gong. Wei punched Mr. Zhou, knocked him to the ground, and asked him, "Do you still want to practise?" Mr. Zhou slowly stood up and then stared at Wei but did not answer. Wei yelled, "Nobody in this camp is not afraid of me," and began to punch and kick Zhou again. He knocked Zhou, whose face was all bleeding, to the ground, and asked him again, "Do you still want to practise?"
  • "Destroy Them Physically:" The Jiamusi Labour Camp Follows the CCP's Genocidal Policy

    On April 30th 2005, Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Wu Chunlong was sent home from Jiamusi Labour Camp when he was unconscious and dying. After returning home, he was continually monitored by the police. He died on August 20th 2005 after enduring another four months of misery and pain at the young age of 29. Jiamusi Labour Camp is guilty of following the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) genocidal policy toward Falun Dafa practitioners: "destroy them physically." The labour camp releases Falun Dafa practitioners only when they were dying, either to die at home or else suffer major disability.
  • Police Brutality Suspected in Death of Elderly Dafa Practitioner Ms. Lu Tianyun of Hubei Province

    65-year-old Dafa practitioner Ms. Lu Tianyun went missing from a square in Xiangyang County on November 18th 2003. A day later, a witness said that he'd seen the police arrest an elderly lady who was practising Falun Gong in the square the day before. Later, police claimed that they'd found the body of a woman in the pool of the square on November 19th and it was immediately cremated as an unidentified body. Among the articles the police admitted to finding on Lu Tianyun were some Dafa leaflets exposing the persecution, indicating that the police were aware that Lu Tianyuan was a Falun Gong practitioner. On the basis of this evidence, it's impossible that the police had nothing to do with Lu Tianyun's death.

  • Women's Labour Camp of Fujian Province Made Huge Profits Selling Practitioners' Blood

    Every now and then, the guards in the Women's Labour Camp of Fujian Province would draw a large volume of blood from the Falun Dafa practitioners, who had already become very frail from the brutal tortures. The loss of blood further sabotaged the practitioners' health, and meanwhile, the labour camp would make huge profits selling their blood. For the practitioners who did not cooperate, inmates would forcefully draw blood from them. One time, Ms. Cuan Saizhu's mouth and nose were sealed with sealing tape by brigade leaders. The skin on her cheek came off with the tape when the sealing tape was pulled off. It was too brutal to watch.
