  • Another Witness Steps Forward to Expose the Raping of Falun Gong Women by the Chinese Communist Party's Police

    On November 24th, 2005 police stormed into my house and forcibly took me to the police station. There, police officer He Xuejian called practitioner Ms Liu Jizhi to his room. About thirty minutes later Liu Jizhi came out. She fell into my arms, cried and shouted, "Aunt [in China, a courteous way to address women of older age], I don't want to live!" I asked, "What happened?" She said, "He Xuejian raped me." I couldn't believe my ears. I asked her once more, "Really? He did this do you?" She said, "Yes it's true!" She again held me and cried.
  • Exposing the Crimes of Yin Shuiping, Head of the 610 Office in Hunan Province

    Once Yin Shuiping, head of Yongxing County's 610 Office, wanted to go to Yuelai Hot Springs to enjoy himself but he didn't have much money, so he brought several local police officers to a practitioner's home. They illegally ransacked it, smashing furniture and searching carefully, which created a horrible scene. When the Dafa books were found, Yin started to knock on the top of the table, scolding and threatening, then "sweet-talking." Once they got the money, they immediately rushed out and went to the hot springs.

    On the morning of April 5th, 2005, all practitioners detained in the Third and Fourth Sections of the Second Ward of Masanjia Forced Labour Camp took off their camp uniforms to declare that they were not criminals. On April 5th, 6th, and 7th, the cells were filled with the sounds of the guards beating practitioners and the practitioners' bitter screams. Some practitioners' heads and bodies were bleeding from being beaten with metal rods, and some practitioners had internal injuries.
  • Rape Victim Liu Jizhi: The Criminals Have Not Received Punishment, Please Do not Let the Voices of Justice Subside

    I am Liu Jizhi, over 50 years old and one of the victims raped by police in Hebei Province. The incident has completely changed my life. As a woman, the experience of being raped was devastating. During 6 years of the persecution, many female practitioners have suffered and are still suffering the same torture and abuse.
  • The Masanjia Labour Camp Brings in Male Guards to Persecute Women Falun Dafa Practitioners

    Whenever female practitioners shouted, "Falun Dafa is great!" the male guards and the female brigade head would pounce on them. Some of them beat the practitioners, some dragged them, some gagged them, and some handcuffed them. When the practitioners continued to shout, they taped their mouths shut, wrapping tape around the head in several layers. Sometimes they gagged practitioners with a towel; sometimes they handcuffed practitioners to heating pipes for different periods of time. Then they locked the practitioners in confinement cells.

    Ms. Han Guangmei from was arrested on November 26th along with 18 other practitioners. Ma Zongtao, a 610 Office official beat Ms. Han for an entire night until she was at death's door and could not move her body. Her left leg was about twice the size as her right leg. Ma Zongtao said in a menacing voice, "I will certainly beat you to death tonight."
  • Exposing the Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners in the Chaoyanggou Forced Labour Camp

    The Falun Gong practitioners in the newcomer group were managed by several criminals designated by the guards. They were forced to take off all their clothes before the two hundred detainees, and their clothes and luggage were searched. The Falun Gong practitioners were also forced to admit to the crime of "disturbing social order." Otherwise, it resulted in them being tortured. The Falun Gong practitioners also would undergo torture until they were "transformed" as required by the designated criminals. The torture methods included: remaining in a standing position for long periods of time, "taking a shower," sitting on a bench for long periods of time, and squatting while facing a wall for long periods of time.
  • My Experience of Being Persecuted with "The Same Song"

    On December 31st, 2003, I went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Dafa and unfurled a banner that read, "Falun Dafa is Good." I was then sent to a Detention Centre where I was sentenced to one year of forced labour. I was then detained in the Chatou Forced Labour Camp, where I suffered from various types of torture such as physical punishment, humiliation, and psychological persecution. Among the tricks used to brainwash Falun Gong practitioners, they forced Falun Gong practitioners to sing, "The Same Song." If you refused to sing this song, it would be construed as being confrontational. Those who were "transformed" by force had to sing this very song.
  • Persecution Records from Beijing Women's Forced Labour Camp and Beijing Women's Prison (Part 2)

    After the Chinese New Year, a new official came to my prison team. She told me her thoughts when she monitored me, "All these years, the higher authorities asked us to 'reform' practitioners. After many years, I realized that we should educate and save people, yet we are persecuting you. You are actually very outstanding. We found that once you give up the practice, it is as if your spirit is destroyed. Therefore, some kind police officers on our team do not want to 'transform' you. But because they did not cooperate with the requests from officials, they were transferred to other teams without Falun Gong practitioners. Those who remained are all vicious."
  • Brainwashing at the "Legal Education Centre" in the Weiningying Forced Labour Camp

    The most critical brainwashing methods of the Centre are used. For example, the practitioners are forced to watch TV news, write "homework," take tests and recite 36 laws and regulations each day. They are also forced to watch a Dafa-slandering TV series and sing propaganda songs. Guards gave "law classes" that mostly slander Dafa. Zheng Tao wrote questions after the lecture for practitioners to take back to their room to discuss among themselves. Each practitioner is forced to give his standpoint, which is recorded by the completely brainwashed group head. The answers must conform to the brainwashing standards the Centre considers to be correct.
  • Two Incidents Showing the Inhumanity of the Chinese Communist Party

    In a remote district of Chenzhou City in Hunan Province, there was a young fellow who reached eighteen years old and wanted to join the army to serve the county. At his first physical exam, he easily passed all the tests because he had a very good body and was 6-feet tall. However, during the final exam, which was a political exam involving an investigation of the political background of his family members, he failed, and was considered to be "unqualified" for military service. The reason for his failure was that his aunt practises Falun Dafa.
  • Persecution at Beijing Women's Labour Camp and Beijing Women's Prison - Part 1

    Lawless officials in Beijing have been recruiting and mobilising police from different areas in China to go to Beijing to aid in the persecution of practitioners that travel there to expose the persecution about Falun Gong. The local guards invented inhuman and cruel methods of torture for practitioners that are steadfast in their beliefs. They categorised the secret and vicious torture of practitioners as "education," "reformation," and "salvation." Every practitioner who has ever been detained in the labour camp has suffered under these repugnant tortures.
  • Changchun Hezhuzhi Labour Camp Uses Forced Labour as a Means to Torture Dafa Practitioners

    According to inside information, Hezhuzhi Women's Labour Camp in Changchun City forces Dafa practitioners to make products as a means to persecute them. They force practitioners to make butterflies with feathers. The practitioners have to get up at 5:30 a.m., go to work right after breakfast and work until 8:00 p.m. They are forced to work for nearly 13 hours a day. The poisonous fumes given off from the glue make it difficult to breathe and are damaging to their health. The products are exported to Asia, Europe, America and Australia and are tainted with Dafa practitioners' blood and tears.
  • "The Same Song" of Demons and Collaborators

    "The Same Song", the show and the song, are wicked. It paints a peaceful picture for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regime and is used as a tool by the evildoers to attack the spiritual side of Falun Gong practitioners. In labour camps, Falun Gong practitioners were forced to learn this song. Whenever a Falun Gong practitioner was transformed, the first thing he/she was forced to do was not to write any repentance or the pledge not to practise Falun Gong, but to sing this song together with former practitioners who had turned against Dafa, as well as the police.
  • Shijiazhuang Forced Labour Camp: Practitioners Hung by the Wrists from Steel Wires that Cut to the Bone

    In April 2001, authorities at the Shijiazhuang Forced Labour Camp attempted to violently "transform" all the Dafa practitioners in their custody. Practitioners were forced to stand on stools, wearing handcuffs and steel wire wrapped around their arms and secured to the ceiling, and then the stools were kicked out from under them. As they hung from the ceiling, the steel wires quickly cut into their arms to the bone, and blood flowed down the wire. If they still refused the so-called "transformation," the wardens would grab the practitioners and yank them downward with all their strength; many of the practitioners' arms were permanently damaged.
