  • The Persecution Suffered by Yin Shuyun from Longkou City, Shandong Province

    My name is Yin Shuyun and I am a 49-year-old Falun Dafa practitioner. On February 8th, 2000, I travelled to Tiananmen Square, Beijing with five other practitioners to peacefully appeal against the persecution. I was forcefully arrested. A policeman grabbed my hair roughly and beat me up. I was forced to run in the snow barefoot and stand in cold water for an hour. I was also forced to press large cubes of ice against my face, before being hung up with handcuffs and brutally beaten. While the police beat me up, they shouted that it was time to slaughter the pig. I was severely frozen and my face was also beaten to the extent of distortion and my entire body was bruised and injured.
  • I Was Tortured With Poisonous Drugs by the Shayang Forced Labour Camp in Hubei Province

    Around May and June 2001, when I was first detained in the Shayang Forced Labour Camp, the guards forcibly gave Falun Dafa practitioners injections, using the excuse of "protection from typhoid fever." The guards arranged for some hired thugs to wait in a police vehicle. If anyone did not yield, they took him in the vehicle to another location and separately carried out more brutal persecution. I was forced to have an injection. However, the prisoners who monitored us did not receive injections at all, which showed that the guards tortured Falun Gong practitioners with drugs.
  • Persecution of Zhang Zenggui and His Family in Shandong Province

    Early this year, Mr. Zhang Zenggui and his wife, Ms. Liu Yuxiang were persecuted again just because they believe in "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance." The police extorted more than 10,000 yuan from their home and confiscated items worth 400,000 yuan. In detention, their son's teeth were knocked out by policemen. To this day they are still homeless. Their sons Zhang Zunyu and Zhang Zunliang were sentenced to seven and eight years respectively.
  • Seven Electric Batons Used to Shock One Practitioner in the Zibo Forced Labour Camp

    The officials worked together to persecute the practitioners by detaining them individually and in secret. They used many vicious tortures. Every practitioner suffered from electric shock torture to varying degrees, the worst example was using seven electric batons to shock one practitioner. They also put a motorcycle helmet on a practitioner's head, then turned on the speaker in the helmet to the highest volume broadcasting a recording that slandered Dafa. This torture damaged the practitioners' nervous system. The torturers took turns blowing cigarette smoke into the helmet to make the practitioners cry and cough. They tied practitioners up with a belt so tightly that the person could not breathe and was almost in shock.
  • Mr. Jiang Xiquan, 56, Arrested Late at Night, Sent to Forced Labour Camp for Two Years

    At around 10:00 p.m. on May 5th, Mr. Jiang Xiquan had just gone to bed. Suddenly he heard knocking, and he got up and opened the door. Six strong men charged through the door, and rummaged all through the room. They confiscated a Falun Dafa book, as well as some leaflets exposing the persecution. They then arrested Mr. Jiang Xiquan without giving a reason. Mr. Jiang is 56 years old. His wife witnessed their home being ransacked and her husband's arrest and became very frightened. Mr. Jiang's wife had to borrow money to give about 4,500 yuan, then 3,100 yuan and then 500 yuan to officials to release her husband. Although Jiang Xiquan was released he was later arrested again and sent to a forced labour camp.
  • Zhuozhou City 610 Office Returns Illegal Fines to Conceal Their Crimes

    Not long ago, Mr. Zhang Shun, Chairman of the 610 Office refunded the illegal fines extorted from Ms. Liu Jizhi (a Falun Gong practitioner raped by police), and practitioners Mr. Wang Helin and Ms. Qu Wenting. Zhang Shun gave it to the Xitong Village committee and left the money to the disposal of the committee. On the receipt it says it was a refund for the "training fee" at Nanma Base. This was an obvious attempt to obscure the facts of the crime and to hide the truth about the persecution.
  • Practitioner Sentenced to Seven Years in Prison and his Wife Recently Arrested

    In 2001, Guo Peijun and his wife were arrested. Guo Peijun and some other Falun Dafa practitioners refused to cooperate with the commands of the authorities, so police officers took turns beating them, and grabbing benches and wooden clubs to hit the head and face of Guo Peijun. Immediately, he started bleeding, and his skin was torn, with the flesh opened up. Later, while he was washing his clothes, after four rinses, the water was still red from the blood, and the clothes could not be cleaned any more. In 2005, Guo Peijun was sentenced to seven years in prison and is currently detained in Tiebei Prison. His wife Yu Jing was arrested again on July 12th.

  • Ding Haiqing's Suffering at Heizuizi Women's Forced Labour Camp in Changchun City

    Guards used all kinds of cruel tactics to make Ms Ding Haiqing "transform," but to no avail. Ding Haiqing remained firm in her belief in Dafa. Therefore, Hou Zhihong beat her cruelly. The tortures she suffered included the "flying the airplane" and touching the head to the feet. When she could not reach that position, the guards kicked her, tortured her with electric batons, stabbed her with nails, and hit her hands against the windowsill, injuring her hands. She also suffered sleep deprivation if she did not finish what she was told to write. They forced her to stand for 17 hours (from 7 a.m. to midnight) daily without moving.

  • Personal Testimony Regarding Persecution in Huadian City and at Heizuizi Labour Camp

    We experienced the most agonising fourteen days of suffering from various tortures there. That same afternoon and the entire evening of our arrival at the detention centre, the guards forbade us from eating and sleeping. It was during the chill of winter. No one in the detention centre provided us with anything to keep out the cold. Several criminals who sympathised with Dafa practitioners shared their bedding. The food at that detention centre was fit only for animals. We were subjected to interrogation at the detention centre, and the guards attempted to force us to provide our fingerprints. Our fingers were broken but they failed.

Ms. Wang frequently vomited blood and her body is currently very weak.

But they still arrested Yang Shixuan and took her to their headquarters to persecute her. Several police officers beat and kicked her simultaneously. They trampled on her bare feet with their leather shoes, kicked her legs, pulled her hair and struck her ears. Ms. Yang was bruised all over. Later that evening, several police officers lifted her up and then let her fall down to the ground. At the same time, they held their knees up against her back. Her vertebrae were injured badly and she fainted from pain. But the police still did not let Ms. Yang go.
