2006-12-09
Mr. Bai Tianshi was seriously tortured in Xishanping Forced Labour Camp.

He was crippled and lying in bed for over twenty days due to the torture. He was unable to move freely for the two to three months, and is missing most of his teeth due to torture. -
610 Office of Laizhou City, Shandong Province and State Security Unit Police Persecute Practitioner Ms. Zhang Chengfang
2006-12-09On April 18th, 2003, Ms. Zhang Chengfang was arrested and sent to a detention centre. For three straight days, the prison guards brutally tortured her during the day and deprived her of sleep during the night. Ms. Zhang's hands were cuffed together with one arm over the shoulder and another behind her back. To inflict more pain, the guards would continuously pull her arms up while her hands were still cuffed. The guards tormented Ms. Zhang until she passed out and white foam came out of her mouth. Only then would they release the handcuff. However, when she regained consciousness, they would cuff her hands again. They laughed maliciously as they tortured Ms. Zhang in this way. -
Brainwashing Centre in Suining County, Jiangsu Province Tramples Justice by Persecuting Good People
2006-12-08So-called "attending class" at the brainwashing centre is to force practitioners to listen to, watch and read propaganda against Dafa and to sing Chinese Communist Party songs. So-called "doing exercises" is to get the practitioners out of the cell at 6:00 a.m. and have them run two laps in the yard first. Then they are forced to walk military style, with their legs extending straight out and lifted at a 45 degree angle. If one cannot do it well, he is whipped from behind. If practitioners refuse to comply, the punishment can range from being beaten to being dragged into the "repentance room" where one would be handcuffed for up for 48 hours. The brainwashing centre forces practitioners to do hard labour planting vegetables. -
Third Appeal Letter Requesting Legal Assistance from Ms. Wang Bo's Grandmother
2006-12-07My daughter Liu Shuqin, son-in-law Wang Xinzhong and their daughter Wang Bo were arrested, beaten and taken to forced labour camps many times for refusing to renounce the practice of Falun Gong. Liu Shuqin lost control of her bowels due to torture; Wang Xinzhong could not move his back because of the beating and even young Wang Bo was sentenced to three years of forced labour and finished college under close police supervision. They were arrested again on July 27th, 2006. So far, they have been detained for over four months. To our dismay, it is impossible to find a lawyer who would ask for a non-guilty verdict when representing Falun Gong practitioners. -

Stop the Brutal Persecution of Dafa Practitioners at the Masanjia No. 2 Women's Forced Labour Camp

They began using various torture methods on steadfast practitioners in order to try to turn them against Dafa. The most unbearable method is "the big hang-up", with one hand cuffed to the upper rung of a bunk bed ladder, and the other hand cuffed to the lower end of the bed head. Both arms are stretched out, one high and one low. The person cannot stand up or sit. Both legs are bound. It is excruciating. During this time, one is forbidden to eat or go to the toilet.

Dozens of Male Police Specifically Dispatched and Stationed at Masanjia Labour Camp to Persecute Female Falun Gong Practitioners
2006-12-04The most brutal torture method in Masanjia No. 2 Women's Forced Labour Camp is "the great hanging" method. One hand is handcuffed to the upper rung of one bed while the other hand is handcuffed on the lower rung of another bed; with the legs tied, both shoulders are fully extended, one higher than the other, making it impossible to stand or squat. This torture method is extremely uncomfortable; the victims are not allowed to eat or drink, nor visit the toilet. Most soil their trousers. Practitioner Wang Guiping was hung in this position for over thirty hours; her wrists were bleeding and badly bruised. Unable to withstand the torture, she was compelled to write the three statements renouncing the practice. -
