  • 50-Year-Old Ms. Wang Yuling Sentenced to Long Prison Term; Son Died From Shock and Grief, Disabled Husband is Barely Scraping By

    50-year-old Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Wang Yuling was unlawfully sentenced to 13 years in prison for persisting in her belief in Truth, Compassion, Forbearance. For the past three years the police have never notified her family about her incarceration and have never allowed them to visit her. Her family enquired in all sorts of places for over a year and finally found out that she is being held at a "labour reeducation" hospital. The police tied her hands with plastic bands, burned her, beat and kicked her, poured cold water on her, and shocked her with 30,000-volt electric baton(s), which made her lose consciousness. Her son fell ill and later died from shock and grief at his mother's brutal persecution.
  • Witness to the Persecution at Judong Women's Forced Labour Camp in Jiangsu Province

    In May 2002, I was sent to Judong Women's Forced Labour Camp in Jiangsu Province. I witnessed many vicious and brutal persecution methods inflicted on Falun Gong practitioners. At that time, almost all Falun Gong practitioners who were sent to the labour camp had been beaten by electronic batons. Some of them instantly lost the control of their bladders. A guard once inserted a baton into a female practitioner's private parts, which caused great damage.

    After enduring inhumane physical tortures and mental torment, Sun Yan still persisted in her Falun Gong practice. She was held in the Longshan Forced Labour Camp. On March 22nd, 2004, a Dafa-slandering meeting was held. One female practitioner, Gao Rongrong, refused to attend and was brutally tortured. Sun Yan tried to stop the beating. A guard immediately punched Sun Yan near the eyes. Her eyes became red and swollen and later turned black and blue. Sun Yan and Gao Rongrong were held in the same cell at the Longshan Labour Camp. Gao Rongrong's face was left disfigured when guards shocked her with electric batons. Sun Yan's face was also shocked with electric batons.
  • Mr. Li Wenjun Sent to a Forced Labour Camp and Tortured, All Appeals Denied

    In April 2004, police officers fabricated evidence against Li Wenjun and sentenced him to three years in the Jiutai City Yinmahe Forced Labour Camp. While incarcerated, Li repeatedly went on hunger strike to protest the persecution. His health was severely damaged as a result. Although his elderly family has approached the justice department to request freedom for Li Wenjun, the justice department and the government organisations keep shirking their responsibility and endlessly shift the responsibility to each other.
  • How Are the Political and Judiciary Committee and 610 Office in Laizhou City Building a "Harmonious Society"?

    Mr. Zhao Facheng and Ms. Ren Zhifang, Falun Dafa practitioners were arrested and detained by the 610 Office for distributing leaflets exposing the persecution on May 4th, 2005. During their detention, the 610 personnel interrogated them many times to find out their source of leaflets. Ms. Ren was detained for as long as three months and was persecuted both physically and spiritually. In early August 2005, she had a distended abdomen. The Chinese Communist Party and Jiang Zemin's regime recklessly violate human rights and persecute kind Falun Gong practitioners. At the same time, they lie to the general public, saying that they will build a so-called "harmonious society."
  • Products Made With Slave Labour - Colourful Lanterns at the Zhongba Forced Labour Camp in Guizhou Province

    There are seven brigades at the Zhongba Forced Labour Camp, each of which makes slave labour products. "Slave labour" here refers to the fact that the guards in the labour camp use brutality to force the prisoners to manufacture products under adverse conditions. At present, the slave labour products made in the Zhongba Forced Labour Camp include polished man-made crystal gems, various kinds of colourful lanterns, and electronic products. Prisoners must work about 16 hours every day. Those not completing their production tasks receive various kinds of corporal punishments, are subjected to barbaric torture, or have their terms in the labour camp extended.
  • Severe Persecution Cases of Several Women Practitioners in the Wangcun Forced Labour Camp in Shandong Province

    Ms. Li Ping is over 50 years old and was sentenced to forced labour on September 30th, 2004. She suffered unimaginable tortures at that camp for assertively refusing to give up Falun Dafa. In a one-month period, Ms. Li was permitted only three nights' sleep. During the daytime she was forced to sit on a small backless stool and at night she was punished by having to stand for long hours. Because of long-term lack of sleep she frequently fell down while standing, often injuring her face and head. After long-term physical torture and extreme pressure and mental torment from threats and intimidation, Li Ping suffered a mental collapse. Now she keeps saying, "What crime have I committed? All I did is just practise qigong."

    "I am a Falun Gong practitioner who has been held in Masanjia Forced Labour Camp many times. When I was at home, I learned that many people knew about the 18 female practitioners imprisoned at Masanjia who were stripped of their clothing and thrown into male criminal cells. That case was widely publicised. But it did not just happen once; it happened at least three times. At another time, the police took ten female practitioners to Zhangshi Training House. They stripped nine of the ten practitioners and threw them into a cell with men. Another time they stripped four female practitioners and forced them into the men's cells."
  • The Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners at the Chaoyanggou Forced Labour Camp in Changchun City, Part 1

    To destroy people's will, the Chaoyangou Forced Labour Camp has tortured kind people in the most vicious ways, making it the chief place in the province for the violation of human rights. Details of methods of abuse and mistreatment include inciting prisoners by means of rewards and promises of reduction of their prison terms if they openly beat practitioners. They also include using torture, recklessly maltreating practitioners, forcing practitioners to work beyond their capacities, long-term sleep deprivation and forcing practitioners to write a guarantee statement to give up their belief.
  • 610 Office Has Falun Gong Practitioners Tortured at Shengli Oil Field Hospital's Mental Illness Department

    At the Shengli Hospital some staff members have used the mental illness department to torture Falun Gong practitioners over the past six years. The medical staff at the mental illness department falsely diagnosed practitioners as having mental problems, and then put them together with real mental patients and subjected them to "treatment." Using medication to torture practitioners, they hope to "transform" them into real mental patients. These doctors forced practitioners to wear white clothes and white hats while some nurses forced them to take drugs and receive injections every day. They wanted to destroy practitioners' bodies with the unidentified drugs.
  • Methods Used to Persecute Practitioners at Tuanhe Forced Labour Camp in Beijing

    Tuanhe Forced Labour Camp in Beijing is notorious for its brutality and hypocrisy. Many cruel means have been used to persecute practitioners over the past several years, in efforts to "transform1" them. To the public, it claimed that its "education" style was "like life-giving spring breezes and showers." This so-called "education" is in fact a retinue of cruel torture and brainwashing. Authorities at Tuanhe use inmate "helpers," "enduring eagle" (sleep deprivation), threats, physical abuse, enforced sitting, hard labour, and other methods to persecute practitioners to get them to recant their beliefs.
  • The 610 Office in Shandong Province Persecutes Practitioners During the National Holiday
