  • Vicious Acts of Police at the Tianjin City Prison

    Under the leadership of the prison Chief, prison guards were urged to viciously persecute Dafa practitioners. They subjected the practitioners to all kinds of brutal tortures if those practitioners refused to "reform." Among the torture instruments is small stool, which is 5 centimetres (2 inches) wide, 15 centimetres (6 inches) long, 5 centimetres (2 inches) high. Practitioners were forced to sit on this stool daily for over 15 or 16 hours, with their backs straight and feet extending 30 centimetres (12 inches) from the stool. Practitioner Liu Zhengang's bottom had rotted and thus suffered from an infection. Still they didn't release him.

  • In Memory of Mr. Ma Jujun, a Falun Dafa Practitioner from Xinjiang Province

    "Because Mr. Ma Jujun constantly appealed for Dafa, corrupt officials sentenced him to two years in a labour camp. After his release, the 610 Office arrested him and sent him to a brainwashing centre for further persecution. Because he was steadfast in his belief, he was frequently trailed, monitored, harassed and threatened. Later, he was arrested and sent to the Mental Hospital in Urumchi where he suffered inhuman torture. He was persecuted to death on September 27th 2004."

She is still in the Liaoning Province Women's Prison and is currently locked in a small cell in isolation. Every time the family talks about Wang, they cry a lot. Wang's mother-in-law repeatedly said, "My daughter is very capable and devoted to her parents. Now see how much she is suffering in there!" Wang's mother-in-law not only misses Wang, but also has to take care of her young granddaughter as well as support a broken home that used to be happy and blessed.
  • Four Practitioners from Heilongjiang Province Who Passed Away Under Persecution

    In December 2000, 55-year-old Ms. Sun Guilan set out to Beijing to appeal for Dafa, but some police officers arrested her on the train and sent her to the police station. Ms. Sun refused to reveal her name or address so the police punched and kicked her. After four days the police stripped her of her clothing and threw her onto the snowy ground in the middle of nowhere and left her there. With painstaking effort, Sun Guilan managed to return home. For the next few years Ms. Sun suffered the persecution by being continually harassed by police. She eventually had to leave home and live in a homeless situation. Under the enormous pressure and hardship, she passed away on June 1st 2003.

On January 29th 2002, a policeman kicked Mr. Wang's head and body several times with his leather shoes. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Wang Shize passed away. Later the police lied about the incident, claiming that Mr. Wang died of a stroke when he was using the toilet. They also had the nerve to ask Mr. Wang's family members for the funeral expenses.

  • Recalling the Dreadful Days When I Lived and Was Persecuted in China

    "After I came to Canada in 2005, my health and spirit visibly improved the moment I arrived here. The most important thing is that in Canada, one can freely practise Falun Gong because Canada respects one's freedom of belief. I cannot help but shudder whenever I think about my days under the persecution in China. Under the persecution, my husband was murdered, my son and daughter-in-law could not find a job, we could not visit our friends and relatives, and my son and I could not go back home. I don't want to keep the memory of that terror in my mind."
