  • An Unfinished Letter from Prison

    They tried all sorts of things against practitioners in Jinan Women's Prison over the past several years. Once practitioners enter the prison, they are detained in the enforcement division first, and forced to write "three statements1" to give up the practice and defame Dafa. If they refuse, they are deprived of sleep and the use of the toilet. Food is also restricted. They are forced to squat, to stand for extended periods, or put into solitary confinement. Guards and inmates armed with sticks take turns to watch practitioners. When practitioners move a little bit, they are beaten. A practitioner was once forced to squat down for more than 40 days, and was unable to stand up afterwards.
  • Tianjin Dafa Practitioner Mr. Zhang Xiangjun Persecuted Repeatedly

    The police started cursing, "When the Chinese Communist Party says that you are wrong, you are wrong, even if you are not. We can tell you that our superiors have instructed us that if you are not 'transformed' ideologically, then you will be transformed by fire (cremation). Even if we kill you, you will die in vain, and we will get our bonus." Seduced by money and succumbing to orders from above, they started savagely torturing Zhang Xiangjun. They tied him to the tiger bench and used seven electric batons to shock him simultaneously.

Falun Gong practitioners are provided with two meals per day: corn buns and radish soup. On Monday the bun is made with very crude flour. Daily necessities are sold there at two to three times fair market price.
  • Yang Lijuan and Four Other Falun Gong Practitioners Tortured at the Heizuizi Forced Labour Camp in Changchun City

    Because Yang Lijuan refused to attend the slave-labour activities, the guards punished her with long-term standing. While her fellow practitioners were force-fed, Yang Lijuan stood up to stop the persecution, which meant she was beaten with electric batons. In such a difficult situation. She constantly fought for the basic rights of living and freedom for fellow practitioners as well as herself. Yang Lijuan wrote and delivered a letter to the head of the labour camp. After that, however, five Falun Gong practitioners, including Yang Lijuan, were strictly monitored and forced to "study" the fact-twisting theories by watching video programmes defaming Falun Gong.

  • Exposing the Criminal Conduct of Nanjing Police Station Officials in Jilin City

    After Nanjing Police Station agents arrested Jianguo Wang, they extorted a confession under torture, seriously injuring his face and arm. It is suspected that they broke his arm, or some other bone, otherwise they would not have gone to the hospital to obtain a fake certificate. In order to avoid responsibility for their criminal acts, an agent from the Nanjing Police Station went to the city's central hospital to obtain a false medical record for Jianguo Wang. The false medical record states: "Jianguo Wang damaged his face and arm when he jumped from a second floor window."
