    My name is Li Guixiang. Because of practising Falun Dafa, I was imprisoned in Qinghai Province Female Labour Camp for three and a half years. During this period, I suffered various tortures. At the end of August 2003, because of revealing the persecution to people, I was arrested by police. I protested their illegal action, and jumped from a high place. At that time, I went unconscious, and my whole body could not move. After regaining consciousness, they still took me to the labour camp. I went on a hunger strike to protest. After ten days, the police started to force-feed me. After two months, they dislocated my lower jaw, and poured food into my mouth. The process was so cruel that no one could bear to watch.

  • Calling for the Rescue of My Father, He Sanpu, Held at a Brainwashing Centre in Henan Province

    In July 2000, we asked many people before finding out that my father had been sentenced to two years of forced labour. My mother and I immediately went to the labour camp with some clothes for him. I then saw him for the first time since his disappearance. The detainees were doing heavy manual labour and turning over sand for casting iron. Then a man walked up to me. I looked at him carefully and finally recognised my father. He used to be strong and healthy, but at that point he was skin and bones. His hands were deeply bruised by the coarse sand. I lost control and cried loudly.

  • Non-Practitioner Couple Sentenced to Prison Because Wife's Older Sister Practises Falun Gong

    Presently in the women’s prison, there are 169 older people whose ages are from 60 to 74. They were sentenced to prison terms of 4 to 12 years. The women’s prison falsely tells outsiders that it implements humanity in its management, but actually the torture of the minds of Falun Gong practitioners is very serious. A Falun Gong practitioner who is 64 years old persisted in her practice, so the police tortured her by way of sleep deprivation. This eventually caused the blood vessels in the elderly lady’s brain to leak, causing hemiplegia and paralysis on one side of the body. According to the medical examiner’s appraisal, as well as the law, she qualifies for release in order to seek medical treatment, but the police didn’t release her until recently, giving all kinds of excuses.
  • My Experience of Being Arrested and Persecuted by the Dehui City Police Department

    In early March, a practitioner and I were arrested in our home by police and taken to a hotel used to persecute practitioners. Several policemen tortured me. They pulled me up from the ground, pushed me into a big chair and handcuffed my hands behind the back of the chair. I refused to cooperate with them and they started to pour water into my mouth. Two of them used a hard object to forcibly pry open my mouth. One person made an effort to pull my handcuffs downward and pulled my hair. Due to extreme pain, I started to stamp my feet, and then they tied my feet to a chair and continued persecuting me. During this period, they would pause for a while when they felt tired. Meanwhile, a policeman wrote down a list of false charges against me.

  • The Persecution I Suffered at Shayang Forced Labour Camp in Hubei Province

    On the evening of September 30th, 2003, I was sitting in meditation. Suddenly a group of policemen rushed in and arrested me and another practitioner. My husband asked, "Why are you making an arrest?" The police simply did not pay attention to him. We were transferred to Shayang Women's Forced Labour Camp. The female police guard instigated the criminals to humiliate us. They used scissors to cut our hair and forced us to stand for a long time without sleeping. On the third morning at Shayang, the criminals led me to a room and tied both of my hands behind me to a stool and inserted a metal soup spoon in my mouth. They used another metal spoon to turn in my mouth for more than an hour. They didn’t stop even when my teeth started to break off. They kept torturing me like this until I fell unconscious from the pain.

After the Minghui [Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net] website reported this incident, many practitioners inside China and abroad were very concerned.

They claimed that Mr. Pan participated in the interception of TV signals and operated an underground publishing place.
