  • Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners in the Second Women's Section of the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp

    The guards in the Second Women's Section force-fed those Falun Gong practitioners who protested by going on a hunger strike. For example, Ms. Zhu Yun was force-fed for thirteen months and finally, she could not control her bowels after the force feedings. Ms. Wang Manli's eyesight was blurry because of being force fed for six months through inserted tubes. But the guards did not lighten their persecution. Ms. Dong Jingya was force-fed three times per day and infused with five bottles of IV solution, which caused her face to swell up. The guards also tied some Falun Gong practitioners onto beds and force-fed them. They had to lie on the beds and get help from others when they relieved themselves.

  • The Persecution Methods Used at a Forced Labour Camp in Jiangxi Province

    Officials at Majialong use inhuman torture methods to force practitioners to renounce Falun Dafa, such as "Stick to the Wall," in which the arms and legs of a practitioner are forced apart as much as possible, then the practitioner is forced to face a wall with his or her whole body pressed to it, until the practitioner chokes and falls. Another torture method is called "Bent at the Waist With Head Touching the Wall," in which a practitioner is forced to stand about half a metre from a wall and bend 90 degrees at the waist. The cap of an ink bottle is placed between the practitioner's head and the wall. Those in charge closely monitor the practitioner and prohibit any movement.

Within minutes Ms. Liu Jingli felt intense pains in her abdomen and then vomited blood. Two hours later, she started hallucinating.

He even made up a story about deceased practitioner Zhou Shuying. He distorted the facts to deceive practitioners forced to undergo brainwashing sessions. He maintained that Ms. Zhou died because she refused to take medicine after practising Falun Gong.

  • Heinous Crimes against Women Falun Gong Practitioners at the Shibalihe Women's Forced Labour Camp

    I am a Falun Gong practitioner sentenced to forced labour.

While being held at Division 3, however, I experienced various tortures in this hell on earth! The guards use base and cruel methods to "reform" Falun Gong practitioners. The administrators of the labour camp don't hold back on their barbarism.
