  • Revisiting the CCP's Crimes in Anshan in Light of Sujiatun Concentration Camp

    On August 27th, 2002, her abusers tortured Ms. Zhang Li so cruelly in Anshan Detention Centre that her life was hanging by a thread before she was finally sent to the hospital.

  • A Practitioner Recounts her Horrific Experience in the Shijiazhuang Forced Labour Camp

    "During the 70 days and nights, they brainwashed me. Liu Junling slapped my face numerous times each day. The evil criminal acts of Liu Junling and other instructors of Team 4 in the Shijiazhuang Forced Labour Camp injured my body and mind so severely that I was on the brink of a mental collapse. When I went to bed after the 70-day torture was over, my body ached as if it were falling apart and I could hardly sleep. The pain in my lower limbs lasted even longer. What's more, the mental wounds continue to bleed and will never heal."

The guards press his head downward until his face touches the floor. The practitioner's tendons are torn; it is excruciatingly painful. In mid-October 2000, practitioner Zou Guirong, who was later tortured to death, was tortured this way. She wrote, "Guards and collaborators pushed me down, tied my hands behind my back and pressed my head toward my thighs. My body bent like a compressed spring. I could hardly breathe and I screamed."
