• A Practitioner in Germany Recalls the Persecution He Endured at the Shanghai Forced Labour Camp

  2005-12-15
  "My name is Wang Zhen and I am from Shanghai. After the persecution began in July 1999, I refused to give up Falun Gong and was detained in detention centres and forced labour camps. I was forced to do hard labour at these camps, such as carrying baskets of animal manure, cutting grass, sewing stuffed toys such as bears and monkeys, and making beaded purses, Christmas gifts and electric connectors, among other things. Many of these products were exported. I worked from 7:30 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. daily without any salary. In addition, Falun Gong practitioners were treated worse than the common inmates. We were subjected to brainwashing as well as physical torture."

• Torture Methods at the Ping'antai Forced Labour Camp in Gansu Province, Part 1 (Re-enactment Photos)

  2005-12-14
  This is an extremely cruel torture. According to the drug addicts, no one can last ten minutes while being tortured this way. The practitioner's arms are pulled behind him. His hands are tied together so that the inside of his wrists are turned away from the body, and he is then hung by a pair of handcuffs. The pain is so excruciating that the practitioner usually cannot move his arms after a few minutes and will not recover until after a few months. Practitioners have become disabled through this torture.

  Zhao Shuang is head of Division No. 5 at the Changlinzi Labour Camp in Harbin City. He is extremely cruel when persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. He follows the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and frequently said, "Killing a Falun Gong practitioner is just a matter of filling out a form saying it was a normal death. The labour camp has a large enough death quota." Zhao Shuang often told practitioners, "Torturing you is entertainment for me! Don't tell me about humanity! I do not have any humanity! If you make me upset, I might torture you to death."

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

  2005-12-07
  "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

  2005-12-07
  "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

  2005-12-07
  "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."

• The Persecution at Shuangkou Forced Labour Camp in Tianjin

  2005-12-06
  "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?""

• The Torture and Enslavement of Practitioners in Shandong Province's Second Women's Forced Labour Camp

  2005-11-27
  Shandong Province's Second Women's Forced Labour Camp's guards look for work that is so time- and labour-consuming that nobody wants to do it. They then force practitioners to do the work. The work includes, for example, cutting the ends of thread for clothing (local work from Wang Village), wiring the windings (local work from the electrical winding manufacturing station at Wang Village and a toy factory in Weihai City), and gluing glass vases and coloured glaze handiworks plated with silver (work from a handiwork exporting factory in Qingdao City). The glue used in some of these tasks is made with methanol and formaldehyde. Methanol is toxic to people's eyes, and long-term exposure can cause blindness.
