First-hand Accounts of the September 23 Large-scale Arrests of Practitioners in Daqing City (Part 1)
2005-11-21
Twenty-seven practitioners were arrested and their homes searched. After more than a month, the local media has not said one word about the incident. Arrested practitioners, however, are still detained. Except for a few relatives of practitioners and a few witnesses, most citizens, and even some relatives of the arrested practitioners, do not know of these arrests. Practitioners risk much spreading flyers to expose the illegal persecution, but flyers posted in public places have been quickly damaged by people hired by the government. -
After Six Years of Persecution, I Long to Reunite with My Parents
2005-11-21"It has been six years since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched the persecution of Falun Gong. This persecution tore my family apart and destroyed it. Because we believe in "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" we don't lie, and we defend our rights given by the Chinese Constitution. We are persecuted by the CCP. In those six years, how many happy families have been destroyed? How many children have lost their parents? How many old people have lost their children? And how much bloodshed has occurred due to the persecution? " -
Exposing the Persecution at Beijing's Tuanhe Forced Labour Camp
2005-11-21I was "illegally arrested" on April 4th, 2003 and detained at Beijing's Tuanhe Forced Labour Camp for nearly 300 days. I experienced and witnessed many evil acts in this living hell. Mental torment included verbal abuse, brainwashing attempts, other insults, bans on family visits, threats and inducing fear, and isolation to the point of despair. Through these torments, the perpetrators hoped that practitioners would give up Falun Gong. Physical tortures included beatings, electric shocks, long-term seating on a small chair, meagre food rations to the point of starvation, not allowing normal sleep, not allowing toilet breaks and all kinds of other corporal punishment -
Recent Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners in Ziyang City
2005-11-20In mid-September of 2005, many government branches and police departments worked together and created a new wave of terror through TV, radios and newspapers. The public is encouraged to "report to authorities." Friends and relatives getting together may be called an "illegal gathering." The street committees, work units and village offices are forced to hang up a black sign reading, "Cracking Down on False Religion Office." On the night of September 28th, the whole police force in the city were assembled, and they started large-scale arrests. -
Partial Account of Illegal Persecution at the Xindian Women's Forced Labour Camp in Shanxi Province
2005-11-20The work in this camp included producing cigarette lighters. The Chinese Communist Party's police certainly enjoyed the profits. The practitioners, old or young had to get up as early as 5:00 a.m. and finally were permitted to sleep at midnight. Each day had a quota to be met, which the guards assigned at will and inevitably increased. If an inmate did not finish, the perpetrators would subtract points, extend her term, or even subject her to excruciating pain. After a while, many of their finger joints became swollen, distorted and curved. The most seriously hurt became disabled. -
My Mother Was Forced to Become Homeless to Avoid Further Persecution
2005-11-19When my mother was in exile, she again went to Beijing to petition against the suppression of Dafa. Once again she was subjected to torture. The police threatened another practitioner, who was from the Xinjiang Autonomous Region and over 50 years old, saying that if she would not reveal her name, they would beat and kick my mum. When the practitioner still didn't give her name, the police began to use coarser methods. They attempted to demoralise my mum by stripping off her clothes in front of the other practitioner. They even threatened to rape her. -
Peeling Off the Hypocritical Mask of the Hebei Province Gaoyang Forced Labour Camp
2005-11-17The Hebei Province Gaoyang Forced Labour Camp is advertised as a civilised place, but actually, it is an evil den where Falun Gong practitioners are brutally persecuted. Besides brainwashing practitioners, the labour camp also uses them as cheap labour. Practitioners are forced to work every day to make money for the labour camp. In the middle of June 2005, Zhang Chunlan was sent to a carpet factory to work despite feeling ill. She was poisoned by rubber fumes and became very ill. Guard Wei Hongli dragged her downstairs to force her to work. She was released only after she fainted and fell to the floor. -
Details of the Activities of a Brainwashing Centre in Sichuan Province (Photo)
2005-11-17In June 2005, officials from the 610 Office in Guang'an City, Sichuan Province set up another brainwashing centre. On two separate occasions, practitioner Ms. Wang Shiying has been beaten, forced to stand alone in the corner near the door, and punished with food deprivation. In an attempt to force Ms. Wang to abandon Falun Gong, eight men beat her, kicked her in the abdomen and private parts, and viciously whipped her head and back with a leather belt until the belt broke. After they tortured her in this way, they sent Ms. Wang to the Guang'an Mental Hospital for further persecution. -

2005-11-15Towards the end of April this year, Mr Yang Fengwen, a non-practitioner, helped Falun Gong practitioners distribute leaflets exposing the persecution. Police arrested him and took him away. The County Police Station, the County Court, and the County Procuratorate all got involved. Together, they held Yang at the No. 2 County Detention Centre for over five months. After that, Yang was transferred to a brainwashing centre in the township and still remains there. -
Tianjin Women's Labour Camp Forces Detainees to Make Shirts for Export to Japan
2005-11-11All shirts produced in the Tianjin Women's Labour Camp are for one manufacturer in Japan. Most of the products are exported to Japan. Making shirts is high-volume and intensive work, all of which is done by hand. A higher price is paid for faster processing of the shirts, so detainees are required to work extra hours as soon as the order comes in. Detainees felt dizzy and suffered sore lower and upper backs after even the first day's work. Most of the older detainees could not endure such hard labour. -
Torture in the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp Causes Ms. Lin Li'na to Become Mentally Unstable
2005-11-09"I got acquainted with a fellow practitioner. Her name was Ms. Lin Li'na and she was about 35 years old. The guards there initially showered her with false compassion and later tortured her by forcing her legs into a crossed position and tying up her hands and legs with rope. She could not withstand the brutality of their torture for very long and was "transformed" against her will. She experienced feelings of guilt inside in addition to the physical and mental torture from outside. The sudden collapse of her mental state made her unstable, resulting in her release from the camp. Thereafter, her husband divorced her and he secured custody of their children." -
Persecution Endured by Dafa Practitioner Ms Wang Yuhua of Beijing
2005-11-08Ms. Wang Yuhua was arrested and imprisoned in the Beijing Women's Labour Camp in 2002. The police tried to coerce Wang Yuhua into renouncing Dafa, but were met with strong resistance from her. She was made to stand upright without rest for ten days and nine nights, until she fell onto the floor from the torture on the tenth day. Her hipbone was dislocated and she was unable to move. Externally, the labour camp announced that Wang Yuhua suffered the injury from a fall while she was bathing, and the Beijing Television Station recorded Wang Yuhua in the hospital before using it as propaganda to tell its viewers how the labour camp cares for Falun Gong practitioners. -
The Cruel Nature of the Chinese Communist Party in Dealing with Falun Gong Practitioners
2005-11-07In October 1999, Ms. Sun, 21, went to Beijing to appeal for the right to practise Falun Gong. She wanted to explain how she benefited from the practice. When Ms. Sun arrived in Beijing, the police officers arrested her. After learning of her intention, they insulted and brutally beat her. Then several police officers ripped off Ms. Sun's top and said, "We will report your opinion to the higher authorities, but you must tell us you name and address." At the same time, they started taking off her trousers. They slapped Mr. Sun's face so hard that it became swollen. -
Liaoning Provincial Women's Prison Treats Falun Gong Practitioners as Slave Labourers
2005-11-06Prison guards treat Falun Gong practitioners and prisoners like working machines. They start working from 6 a.m. until 9-10 p.m. When the workload is heavy, they are to work overtime until midnight or even into the early hours of the morning. Every day they are required to sign the work sheet. If they don't finish their quotas, their living expenses are deduced or frozen (money from family members is deposited with brigade captains). They'll be beaten if they don't have any money. -
Persecution at the Changchun Forced Labour Camp
2005-11-06If a practitioner refuses to write the "guarantee statements" or writes something that the prison guards do not like, the practitioner is tortured. If the practitioner is "lucky," she is not allowed to sleep before midnight or for a whole night and must stand all day and night, causing her legs to swelling. She is also cursed at daily. If the practitioner is "unlucky," however, she is beaten and shocked with electric batons. Even detainees younger than 20 years old or elderly people in their 60s or 70s are not spared.
