• The Sadistic Torture of Female Falun Dafa Practitioners in the Dalian Forced Labour Camp

  2004-03-17
  Prior to 2001, it was police officers that were directly involved in persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners. However, every time they harmed the practitioners they would ache all over and some would have the symptoms of a serious flu. Now, the regular criminal inmates are used to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners. The criminals experience the same flu-like symptoms as the policemen. One criminal named Gao Peiling was unable to get up after beating some Falun Dafa practitioners. Another criminal, Wang Minfen, cried and told the practitioners, "We don't want to beat you, but we have to do it, otherwise the division leader will extend our prison terms." The police in the Dalian Forced Labour Camp have not only committed crimes themselves, but also have made others commit crimes.
