  • Four Practitioners Put on Trial Unlawfully in Liaoning Province

    On September 12th 2005, the Xinglongtai District Court put on trial four practitioners who had been arrested without due cause. The "defence lawyers" for the four practitioners were court-appointed (Note: The lawyers could only enter guilty pleas for the practitioners and were not allowed to speak in their defence.) Ms. Hu wanted to defend her innocence, but the court refused to hear her. Her lawyer said, "I'm not allowed to enter a not guilty plea for you. I can only enter a guilty plea of misdemeanour." Mr. Hou's lawyer was not allowed to enter a not guilty plea and thus entered a guilty plea for misdemeanour for him as well.
  • Patients are "Purchased" and Enslaved for Profit at Gaoyang Forced Labour Camp

    Gaoyang Forced Labour Camp enslaves Falun Dafa practitioners and others serving terms as patients in the forced labour camp in order to make more profit. Practitioners are also tortured there. Policeman Li Xuejun, who is in his 30s, was a supervisor at the camp. He persecuted Falun Gong with much enthusiasm, and was therefore promoted to division head. For his own financial benefit, he resorted to all means to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners. As division head, he profited by frequently "buying" patients who were scheduled for release, or whose terms were cancelled due to illness, to enslave them and count them as additional labourers.
  • Two Sisters from Jiamusi City Cannot Take Care of Themselves as a Result of Abuse and Torture

    "I was arrested in 2003 after informants reported me to the police. I was injected with drugs that damaged my central nervous system. Suddenly I started losing my memory, and I could not move my arms, legs, hands or feet. I could not even recall what my child looked like. My whole body was paralysed, and I could not see anything clearly. My sister was sent to a forced labour camp twice since 1999, spending over five years there. She has also suffered all kinds of inhumane torture in the labour camp simply for refusing to give up her belief in Falun Dafa. She can also not take care of her own daily needs, and remains in a very weakened condition."

  • A Practitioner Describes Her 6 Years of Persecution

    "Police officer Zhang Guisheng of the Keyuan Street Police Station arrived at the detention centre, where I was held. He cursed us fiercely and ordered the use of more violence and torture during the brainwashing sessions. Police officer Liu Feng asked me, "Do you choose Falun Gong or your family?" I said, "Practising Falun Gong does not conflict with my family." He jumped up saying, "No! You can choose only one!" I was totally confused. Who gave him the right to force me to make such a choice? Police officers forced citizens to get divorced and involved their family members as a means to threaten us. Such mental abuses are illegal."
  • Practitioner Ms. Zhu Chengying from Sichuan Province Has Been Unjustly Sentenced to Ten Years

    On August 26th 2005, the Jinjiang District Police Station in Chengdu City, the Jinjiang District Procuratorate, the Jinjiang District Court, and the State Security Brigade from the Leshan City Police Station arrested 54-year-old Ms. Zhu Chengying from her home. On September 15th she was sentenced to ten years in prison without a fair trial and is now being held at the Chengdu City Detention Centre. What was her crime?

  • Tears and Blood of Dalian: The Persecution of Dafa Practitioner Ms. Sun Yan, Part 1

In November 2001 she was sent to Dalian Forced Labour Camp and was savagely tortured.
  • Intensified Persecution of Falun Dafa Practitioners at Jinzhou City Forced Labour Camp

    A relative recently went to visit Qi Mingli, but was not allowed to see him. This relative tried to tell the truth of Falun Gong to the police at the labour camp. Li Fenglin, who is in charge of persecuting Falun Gong, said, "If you keep talking, I will put you in the labour camp too." After asking the police on several occasions to see Mingli, his family members were finally able to see him. They saw that Qi Mingli's legs were paralysed, as he walked only with heavy support from others. This is the real reason why the forced labour camp doesn't want people to visit him. They are afraid of their crimes being exposed.

  • The Persecution of Dafa Practitioners in Hebei Province

    The police closely follow the persecution policies against Falun Gong initiated by former leader Jiang Zemin and his regime. They illegally search Falun Gong practitioners' homes, brutally beat them, and subject them to all manner of painful tortures including burning practitioners with cigarettes, nailing bamboo spikes into practitioners' fingernails, and beating them with electric batons. In the authorities' efforts to try and "reform" Falun Gong practitioners, practitioners are severely tortured both physically and mentally. Some have been forced to leave home to avoid persecution.

  • Exposing the Dark Side of the Beijing Women's Forced Labour Camp

    We are the family of Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Liu Guifu. We are writing this appeal letter in a state of grave concern because we cannot accept that she is at this moment being tormented in a Chinese government facility because of her firm belief in Falun Gong and her unwillingness to be "transformed" and thereby manipulated to deceive other people. When we saw her, Liu was as thin as a stick, and we could hardly recognise her. She used to weight around 154 pounds and now she looked less than 110 pounds. Her hair had turned grey.
