The Barbaric Slavery and Treatment of Dafa Practitioners at the Xinbing County Jail
2003-12-04Because the practitioners protested the illegal detention and the police's brutality by going on a hunger strike, the jail personnel subjected them to barbaric force-feeding. As they suffered, other policemen would wickedly encircle the practitioners and laugh at their misery. Upon returning to the cell after being force-fed, Mr. Jin Zhe threw up a lot of blood.

Unspeakably Ruthless Torture in Changlinzi Labour Camp
2003-12-04After learning all kinds of torture methods from other provinces and the notorious Wanjia Labour Camp in Harbin, the police brutally tortured practitioners in order to try to force them to give up their belief...One policeman told me, "Several days ago, Jiang Zemin sent someone here to check the transformation rate. I know that three instructors in the fourth division will get promoted and a bonus." In Changlinzi Labour Camp, one can get a 200, 300 or 500 Yuan bonus if he transforms one practitioner. -
Humiliation and Force-Feeding Human Excrement
2003-12-03In order to force practitioners to give up their belief in Dafa, the staff members there first attempt to be falsely nice to them. If practitioners still refuse to give up cultivation, they then force practitioners' work units to stop their salaries, and coerce the practitioners' family members to exert pressure on practitioners. Now they have cut off all contact with the outside and are not allowing family visits or phone calls. Every day they force practitioners to read materials slandering Dafa and Teacher. According to a practitioner who escaped the brainwashing centre, the staff members there force fed human excrement to determined practitioners. They also strip practitioners naked and force them to run laps in the courtyard. -
A Personal Account of Being Brutally Force-Fed
2003-12-03Without waiting until we swallowed the salt water, Xu Changbao would again force-feed us with another bowl of extremely salty water causing us to cough and vomit. I used my tongue to block out the salt water and vomited it out. He became very angry seeing me vomit and continued forcing me to drink the salt water and shouted, "force-feed them to death and let's see if they want to eat or not!" My neck, cotton jacket, and the clothes I was wearing became all wet, causing me to become extremely cold. Due to not eating for several days, my stomach felt very uncomfortable as if it was burning from the salt water. We had to suffer this kind of force-feeding every day. -
Hengshui City Detention Centre Chief Viciously Beat Dafa Practitioners
2003-12-03After that, the detention centre guards kept mercilessly beating practitioners one by one for a whole day (except lunch time). At that time, I counted that only three among all the 28 Falun Gong practitioners had not been beaten mercilessly. The other 25 were all savagely beaten by Geng Zhanwu, then by Guo Yangying and Li Jinliang. The next morning, Geng ordered policeman Gao to brutally beat Ms. Liu Shujun, breaking her ribs. A female practitioner (Zhang Yongli's mother, who was in her 50s) vomited after the brutal beatings, but her hands were still cuffed behind the back. As a result, she urinated in her pants. After a female practitioner was beaten for a while, I began to count the beating sound of the police baton. When the policeman stopped, I had counted 396 blows. -

Lecturer From Beijing's Central Institute of Nationalities, Presses Charges against Chinese Authorities
2003-12-01As clearly stipulated by code 41 of the Constitution and code 254 of the criminal law, no person or organisation has the right to penalise, indict, or file a complaint against any citizen that file appeals. Yet, the involved administration authorities unreasonably withheld my complaint and as a legal plaintiff, and I was personally subjected to persecution by them as well. They used vicious means to harm my body and nervous system, and they tried to hound me to death or to the point that I suffered mental collapse. To quote their words, a person like me must "either be killed or made mentally disordered." It was not me who is the criminal, but these people of the concerned administration authority. -
