• College Junior Zhang Kai Sentenced to Three-Year Prison Term

  2007-08-08
  In late April 2007, police arrested 21-year-old student, Mr. Zhang Kai, a Falun Dafa practitioner, and sentenced him to three years in prison simply because of an article on the Internet. We are unaware of any law that defines Internet articles that students are not permitted to publish. Police had earlier arrested Mr. Zhang's mother and sent her to a forced labour camp after a plainclothes agent reported her for distributing leaflets exposing the persecution. The details of her persecution soon appeared on the Internet. The police found a computer while they were at Mr. Zhang's home. Because the computer belonged to Mr. Zhang, they went to the University of International Trade in Qingdao City and arrested him.

• The Crimes Committed in the Harbin Women's Forced Labour Camp

  2007-08-06
  In 2002, I was sentenced and detained in the Harbin Women's Forced Labour Camp of Heilongjiang Province. At the end of November 2002, the guards first shocked the practitioners with electric batons, which left them with blue and purple bruises on their bodies. They then started to punch and kick the practitioners. Many practitioners could not even stand up after the beating. The guards shut some practitioners into dark confinement rooms. The practitioners were only allowed to wear their underwear, and they were barefoot, with their hands tied behind their backs and crouched on the floor. Their entire face, including their mouths and eyes, were covered with yellow tape, exposing only the nose.

• Falun Gong Practitioner Mr. Zhang Weijie from Wuhan City, Hubei Province Recounts the Persecution He and His Family Members Have Suffered

  2007-08-05
  I was on my way to work early in the morning on March 21st, 2007, when several cars pulled up. Eight people jumped out, pinned me to the ground and punched and kicked me. Finally, they handcuffed me and put me in a car. I asked them, "Who are you?" One of them said, "I'll tell you when we get there." He never did. They tried to wrap my head in some clothes but failed because of my struggling. In the following month they tried to coerce me to "reform." Some read Falun Gong books to me out loud and deliberately twisted the teachings in an attempt to confuse me; some talked about various religions, some showed me official documents in an effort to prove the persecution of Falun Gong is based on the law, and some threatened to sentence me to a prison term from between five years and 20 years if I did not give up my belief.

Ms. Zhang said, "The truth about Falun Gong is to inspire people to develop kind hearts. It is not about guns or nuclear weapons." The judge didn't know what to say. Later the court secretly sentenced them to sentences of up to five years imprisonment.

• Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners at Qiqihar Forced Labour Camp in Heilongjiang Province

  2007-08-03
  I was arrested by officers from my local police station in the end of 2004 and was sent to the Qiqihar Forced Labour Camp. The practitioners who refused to be "transformed" were all forced to do the dirtiest and heaviest work. The labour camp forced me to package pesticide in the agricultural chemical factory. The strong pesticide smell in the air made it hard to breathe and caused my abdomen to swell. The work the labour camp assigned to us was hard to finish. Guards arbitrarily increased our workload and they inspected the practitioners' work very strictly. The labour camp also forced us to work in the corn-processing factory which caused our hands to become swollen. If we stopped to rest for a while, the officials yelled at us.

Both sides of my face were pinched so hard by the inmates that it was extremely tender and the pain lasted almost two months. During my hunger strike I was taken to the district's public security bureau and interrogated. As soon as Sun Lizhong saw me, he said, "Lu Jianhua, I'm going to shoot you to death today."
