The Torture I Suffered in Baishan City Detention Centre
2006-07-13
They tortured me on the "death bed" for five days. My body was seriously weakened and I was hard to recognise. I carried very heavy shackles. When they started to force-feed me, the criminals all came together. They consider torture and killing entertainment. The prison police really enjoyed the criminals force-feeding me. The criminals knocked me down and held me down firmly. Then six or seven criminals used their thumbs to firmly press my ribs, they pinched my crotch, stepped on my hands, twisted my belly and forcefully squeezed my head. The criminals pried open my mouth in turn, inserted the plastic bottle into my mouth and corked my mouth with a toilet cleaning rag. Then another criminal would take a turn to force-feed me. I nearly suffocated several times. -
Recent Incidents of Persecution in the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp
2006-07-13Approximately 200 practitioners are jailed in the Second Women’s Section. The police guards use a special tool to abuse practitioners during force-feeding in particular. It is a round tool, augmented by two sharp ends. When force-feeding, the guards insert the sharp ends between the practitioners' front teeth and try to pry their mouths open. Some practitioners’ teeth have been broken and some practitioners’ lips have been torn. Ms. Cui Defen was tortured to the point of extreme weakness. She could not walk unaided, but the guards still forced her to do labour. Since she walked slowly, guard Zhao Jinghua beat her severely and locked her up for three and a half days. Zhao handcuffed her to a metal pipe in a room with her face against the pipe. She could not bend down or stand up. -

2006-07-13On June 14th, 2006, the Long’an Court in Guangxi Province opened a trial of Falun Dafa practitioner Lu Chihua.

Finally, Mr. Lu said, "I hope all present can remember that Falun Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good. Every Falun Dafa practitioner wishes you a good future." Everyone listened quietly. The presiding judge said, "Thank you!" Later, he seemed to realise something and quickly said, "You dare to publicise those things to us! The court is adjourned!" -

Persecution of Practitioners in Yanbian Forced Labour Camp
2006-07-12Practitioners are forced to wake up at 4:30 every morning and then subjected to a sitting punishment that normally lasts 14 hours. Many practitioners’ behinds become swollen and blistered. Pus and blood make their trousers stick to their behinds, which become extremely itchy and sore. While sitting on the stool, practitioners must keep their backs straight, have both hands on their knees, and stare at a blackboard at the front of the room. They are not allowed to move or speak. Anyone who moves or speaks is severely beaten. -
Handan Forced Labour Camp Authorities Cover-up Their Crimes and Forbid Families to Visit
2006-07-12Falun Dafa practitioner Huang Yunzhang was detained for over a year and refused to be "transformed2". At the beginning of this year, the head guard of the second team of the labour camp commanded eight prisoners to beat him brutally. They forced him to lift his arms from behind his back and one person even put pressure on his neck. Huang Yunzhang passed out many times from this horrific torture. In order to wear down his will power, he was forced to weave straw rope with Yan Fusheng and was forced to run about 25-30 kilometres every day, and he had to clean the toilets. He is always exhausted. Since the last year, Mr. Huang’s wife tried to visit him many times, but was always refused. -

The Persecution of Practitioners in the Yunnan Second Labour Camp
2006-07-10After 2004, the authorities at the Yunnan Second Labour Camp implemented unscrupulous persecution against the Falun Dafa practitioners detained there. Many of them were tortured, and those who refused to accept brainwashing had their sentences extended for more than half a year. They also used a heavy workload to persecute the detained practitioners, forcing them to do hard labour more than 15 hours a day, working them beyond human capacity. As a result, many practitioners’ hands and feet were terribly swollen. -
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Fears the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party - Falun Gong Practitioner Lu Xiangyun Sentenced to Three Years in Labour Camp
2006-07-08Falun Gong practitioner, Ms. Lu Xiangyun, over 50 years old, was recently sentenced to three years in a forced labour camp. The sentence was related to the fact that a copy of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party was found while perpetrators ransacked her home. The CCP is afraid of the wide spreading of the Nine Commentaries. Many Falun Gong practitioners were arrested only because they owned a copy of the Nine Commentaries. -
The Women's Forced Labour Camps in Guangzhou City
2006-07-08The camp authorities force-fed the practitioners who refused to renounce Falun Gong. To do this they insert a thick tube down to the practitioners' stomachs through the nose. They then insert and pull out the tube several times to make the practitioner suffer. As a result they often injure the practitioners' oesophagus or hurt the windpipe, or even the lungs. The guards use practitioners' money to buy milk powder. When they force-feed the practitioners, they add drugs that damage the central nervous system and internal organs. -
The Chinese Communist Party Has Broken up My Family and Caused the Deaths of My Husband and My Son
2006-07-08At noon on March 1st, 2000, a group of people, one after the other, came to our home three times. They intimidated, threatened, and mentally tortured us. My husband died the next day. On July 8th, 2005, Party personnel broke into my house. They ransacked all Dafa related materials and all valuables in my home. They cursed and beat me, a nearly 60-year-old woman. They injured my legs and pulled out several clumps of hair from my head. They detained me for 42 days. My not-yet-10-year-old grandson was left with nobody to look after him. -
The 610 Office of Weifang Chemical Fibre Factory in Shandong Province Established a Private Prison to Persecute Falun Gong Practitioners
2006-07-07The CCP does not allow any other voice, and thus many people do not have a chance to know the truth. In order to explain the true situation of Falun Dafa to those kind-hearted people who are deceived by the lies, Falun Gong practitioners at Weifang Chemical Fibre Factory continuously speak out the truth about Falun Gong. They continue to be persecuted severely for their actions. Thirty-three practitioners have been arrested and fined thousands to tens of thousands of yuan, and are sent to brainwashing classes. Eight of them have been sent to labour camps. Three practitioners have been fired. Some have been detained in the private prison for over forty days. -
Remembering a Few Incidents from an Early Appeal in Beijing
2006-07-07Along with several other practitioners, I was sent to Miyun County Detention Centre. At first, we were all marked with numbers on our bodies because no one would tell the police his or her name and address. They took our pictures and then we were taken away, one by one, to what seemed like an old office building. While passing by a hallway, I saw a door that was half open and inside the room a policeman was sitting on a chair. A lady in her 30s was sitting on the floor with her hands handcuffed behind her back. Right by her side, a five-year-old girl was sitting on her knees on the floor, and both of her little hands were handcuffed behind her back. The police even persecuted such a young child! -

The Persecution I Suffered at My Workplace, in a Detention Centre, and in a Mental Hospital
2006-07-06As I was repeatedly locked up for extended periods of time I suffered much mental and physical damage. I was sent to the City Mental Hospital. Doctors and nurses force-fed me and shocked me with electric batons. Manager Zhao shocked me with electric batons three times. Another male doctor also shocked me with electric baton three times. They force-fed me unknown medications, injected me with unknown drugs, and further shocked me with electric batons. This abuse was carried on for almost two months. As a result, I became mentally disordered and temporarily lost my ability to speak and was overcome with fear. It took me a long time to recover after my release.
