Falun Dafa practitioners endured unimaginable mental and physical pain. The whole place was engulfed in terror."

• Persecution Methods Used in Some Prisons and Forced Labour Camps in Shandong Province

  2005-07-24
  "I have been imprisoned in labour camps and detention centres many times. I was physically and mentally humiliated and viciously beaten. I spent three Chinese New Years in detention centres. I was not able to have a family dinner with my husband and child. My elderly parents and my child have suffered tremendously. In China, many families are being persecuted. The entire country is under the red terror. One of my fellow practitioner's children became an orphan at less than two years old. Many practitioners cannot go back to their homes because of the persecution."

  They also entangled my whole body with plastic wrap, put a cotton cap on my head, and wrapped my face with adhesive tape. They punched two nose holes in the tape with chopsticks, then poured in ethyl alcohol, garlic water, highly concentrated salt water, dirty water, and even urine. During this force-feeding, they pushed a steel bowl that was flattened into my mouth. My mouth was full of blood and my lips swelled up. They also put several dozen hard-shelled insects on my body. They scurried about everywhere all over my body. They caught a big live spider and put it into my mouth. They ruthlessly poured dirty water on my body. By then, my whole body was covered with wounds.

• The Persecution of Dong Jingzhe, Who Helped Rescue Gao Rongrong, at the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp

  2005-07-17
  Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Dong Jingzhe, who was brutally tortured to the brink of death in Masanjia Forced Labour Camp, once said, "Throughout the ages, when people look at their past, they will feel gratified by the memory of their maintaining kindness in life, if they ignored their conscience and chose otherwise, they would regret it. And there are some people who became enemies of the honourable, thus ruining their futures forever. I wish that all mankind would protect goodness and maintain their most precious thing in life - their conscience. Telling people about the goodness of Falun Dafa is not meant to create hatred towards the perpetrators, but instead, is meant to bring people a brighter future."

  2005-07-16
  Because of long-term torture in a forced labour camp, practitioner Ms Wang Lei became mentally ill. On November 17 2004, almost eight months after she was released, police arrested her again and sent her to the Fangshan Detention Centre. During her hunger strike, the police continuously force-fed her. She was again sentenced, this time to two and a half years of forced labour, and sent to the Daxing Forced Labour Dispatch Office. The office knew that she had mental problems but still admitted her even though, according to the law, forced labour camps cannot accept people with mental problems. She was extremely weak, but the police still forced her to stay in the "sit on a bench" posture, with her hands on her knees, for 17 hours. In order to force her to write a "guarantee statement", the police appointed six criminals with drug-related convictions to beat, abuse, humiliate, and torture her.
