• Brutal Torture Methods Used on Falun Dafa Practitioners at the Changlinzi Forced Labour Camp (Illustrations)

  2004-06-25
  The iron cage at the Changlinzi Forced Labour Camp is about 1.5 meters tall, 70 centimeters in width and about 1 meter in length. A person is unable to stand up straight. He must bend his back and lower his head. The police guards handcuff the practitioner's hands to the top of the iron cage; therefore the practitioner can neither stand straight up nor squat down. One can only do a half squat. It does not take long for the muscles to be stressed and sore in this excruciatingly position. The practitioner is handcuffed and held in this position 24 hours a day.

• The Atrocities Committed Behind the Walls of the Nanmusi Female Forced Labour Camp

  2004-06-25
  At the end of January 2002, we were sent to the Nanmusi Forced Labour Camp in Sichuan Province. The local policemen who escorted us had stolen from our bank accounts two month's worth of food costs as well as the full cost for sending us to the labour camp. They transferred any remaining money to the labour camp itself. After deducting a physical exam fee, a labour camp uniform fee, a so-called "rental of living necessities" fee (for bed sheets for example), and other expensive costs, the labour camp deposited what was left of our money into an account.

• Behind the Pleasant Facade: Falun Gong Practitioners Tortured and Used as Slave Labour at Labour Camp in Henan Province

  2004-06-20
  From the outside, the No. 3 Forced Labour Camp in Henan Province is a pleasant looking place. Officials will tell you how well the prisoners are treated and how the staff "educate inmates, use persuasion to help the inmates change, and how the inmates are remedied." However, insiders and the people that have been held there have an entirely different view. From a folk rhyme that is circulating in the area, we can get a sense of what the place is really like. "The Labour Camp is a demon's training barracks. I'd rather spend three years in jail than one day in the No. 3 Forced Labour Camp."

They covered her mouth with strong, wide tape, wrapping it around her head about eight times. Ms. Pang could not breathe.
