• Daqing Railroad Authority Arrests Falun Dafa Practitioners

  2006-06-12
  Since July 1999, police officers from the Daqing Railway Station in Heilongjiang Province have been persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners. Enticed by cash rewards, officers on duty often stop and search passengers as they please. They use abusive language in the hope of finding Falun Dafa practitioners among the passengers. In 2005, while trying to board the No.2155 Train, a female Falun Dafa practitioner was arrested by three police officers at the checking gate. Zhou Yanwu, the officer at the check gate was rewarded 500 yuan.

• Ms Zhang Fuxiang Almost Tortured to Death at the Shandong Province First Women's Forced Labour Camp

  2006-06-10
  Ms. Zhang Fuxiang was imprisoned in the Forced Labour Camp for more than three years and suffered brutal torture. The guard are given incentives such as promotions and pay rises to reach a higher "transformation rate", and are punished when they don't meet their goals. The guards thus tortured practitioners cruelly, trying to force them to "transform." Using the excuse that Ms. Fuxiang had some stomach problems, guards force-fed her with some 'medicine' three times a day with soup made from vegetables that had gone bad. They also forced her to put on earphones and played recordings that kept insulting Falun Dafa with loud noises of smashing metal and forcing her to squat. Guards also kicked and beat her.

• Calling for Urgent Rescue of Eight Dafa Practitioners in Changde City, Hunan Province Unjustly Sentenced to Prison

  2006-06-08
  On December 20th, 2005, 29 Dafa practitioners were arrested in Changde City and a site producing leaflets exposing the persecution was destroyed. Officers from the Wuling District Police Department in Changde City arrested the practitioners and held them at several detention centres.

In this statement the officials falsely accused Dafa practitioners, who follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, of being "members of a criminal gang."

• Letter from a Practitioner in China to the Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong

  2006-06-07
  The persecution of Falun Gong has lasted for seven years. During the seven-year period, I have been driven into exile for four years while my husband has been imprisoned for four years. My underage daughter has been living a very hard life on her own for all these years. In order to try to arrest me, the 610 office often harasses my mother and my mother-in-law. On June 2, 2003, a group of people who claimed to be policemen raided my mother's home one more time. My mother, who is over 70 years old, was living by herself. The policemen asked my mother to surrender me and threatened to arrest her if she refused. She was so worked up and frightened that she suffered a mental collapse.

• Practitioners Forced to Use Contaminated Materials to Manufacture Safety Gloves at Zhongba Women's Forced Labour Camp in Guizhou Province

  2006-06-07
  In 2001 I was sentenced to three year's forced labour for spreading Falun Gong leaflets exposing the persecution and was detained in the Zhongba Women's Forced Labour Camp. The No. 2 Division had a workshop that specialised in making safety gloves. The contaminated used fabric was terribly filthy and full of blood stains, dirt, and mildew. The smell was awful. It was common to assign the new arrivals in Division 2 to collect and sort the used cloth. The peculiar smell of decay, mildew, and rot made the sorter sick enough to vomit.

• Pay Attention to the Guanshan Forced Labour Camp in Tieling City

  2006-06-06
  When I was detained at the Dalian Forced Labour Camp, I heard the people guarding me say that they had given up on those steadfast practitioners who would not follow orders. They sent them to Guanshan Forced Labour Camp in Tieling. The conditions are extremely severe and dangerous, and the work is very hard. Injury or fatal accidents occur frequently. As soon as someone is sent there, the guard would meet him with a shovel handle, beating him from the gate all the way to the building area. When someone dies there, they would report it as an accident and no one would investigate any further.

• Exposing the Brainwashing Sessions in Hunan Provincial Women's Prison

  2006-06-06
  In order to force Falun Gong practitioners to "transform," (give up practising Falun Dafa) the Hunan Provincial Women's Prison conducted brainwashing sessions many times inside the prison. The brainwashing sessions were designed to break down the steadfast practitioners, and thus the suffering of practitioners was intensified, both mentally and physically. They ordered practitioners to recite the prison regulations, and tried to brainwash practitioners with all sorts of deceit. Whoever refused to obey them, they punished at will by forcing her to stand, putting handcuffs on her, forcing her to "carry a sword in back" (a cruel form of handcuffing which causes severe bodily injury), putting her into solitary confinement and so on.

• Former Engineer from the Yunnan Province Design Institute Recounts the Persecution He Experienced in China's Forced Labour Camps

  2006-06-05
  "Division 2 where I was persecuted owned some factories and farms, including a vegetable dehydrating processing factory. The vegetable factory was in very unsanitary condition, with mosquitoes, flies mice, and cockroaches everywhere. No one was allowed a hot water shower at any time during the year. Most people had scabies, big blisters, and other infectious skin diseases. When one touched the area with a finger, it bled or oozed pus. It was disgusting and terrible. After some time, even the fingers were infected and oozed pus, but we still had to work for more than 16 hours a day. No one asked whether the products met sanitary standards as long as the quota was met."

• The Persecution I Experienced and Witnessed in the CCP's Detention Centres and Labour Camps

  2006-06-04
  "When I was incarcerated in mental hospitals and labour camps for practising Falun Gong, my mental strength was extremely low due to the prolonged persecution. Six people I knew had died as a result of the persecution. Many of my friends were sentenced to labour camps and prisons. Countless numbers of my friends were fired from their workplaces, threatened by the police and sent to brainwashing sessions for practising Falun Gong."

• Ms. Li Huaiye Tortured with Electric Shocks in Gaoyang Forced Labour Camp

  2006-06-01
  On February 15th, 2004, Dafa practitioner Li Huaiye was taken to Gaoyang labour camp. On the afternoon of June 7th in Gaoyang, the police took Li Huaiye to a torture room on the east side of the building. On the floor was a board with two handcuffs on it. They handcuffed Li Huaiye's hands so that she was totally immobilised. The policemen then used electric batons to shock her mouth. Because Li Huaiye closed her mouth tightly, the baton could not be inserted inside the mouth, and it shocked the teeth instead. Afterwards they took her socks off and stuffed them into her mouth. They put earphones on her to force her to listen to material slandering Dafa. Then they shocked her inner thighs and went on to shock the rest of her body.

• Jilin Police Interrogates and Tortures a Falun Gong Practitioner, Burning Her Fingers with a Cigarette Lighter

  2006-05-30
  On March 9th, 2006, I went to Jiuzhan, planning to distribute several copies of "The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party," but I was arrested before I distributed any copies. A few policemen dragged me to the Jiuzhan Police Station. After torturing me in various horrific ways, the police started a new torture. The three of them each used a cigarette lighter to burn my fingertips and toes. Seven of my fingertips were badly burned. My left big toe was burned badly. My fingernails turned black. To this day my fingertips have not healed. They continue to discharge pus and blood. The pain is unbearable, but at the time of the torture the pain was even worse. I felt I'd be better off dead.

• Ten Falun Dafa Practitioners From Yichun City and Tieli City, Heilongjiang Province Sentenced and Imprisoned

  2006-05-29
  At the end of September, 2005, the authorities in Tieli City arrested ten practitioners, who later were sentenced to imprisonment by the Tieli City Middle Court. According to a confirmed, reliable source, the authorities of Tieli City want to transfer the ten practitioners to another facility, and the practitioners have had blood drawn for blood typing tests. Due to the many publicly exposed cases of organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners currently held in concentration camps by the Chinese Communist Party, this has caused many conscientious people to worry for the ten practitioners.
