  • Facts about the Recent Persecution of Dafa Practitioners at Dalian Forced Labour Camp

    Falun Gong practitioners' work units start work at 6 a.m. and work for more than ten hours a day in the forced labour camp. Practitioner Liu Jilian, though very weak, was forced to collect scrap, but was not allowed to rest. He was forced to perform the work one-handed, because the other hand was disabled. The guards treat practitioners as the main production force and get bonuses if production is high. As practitioners are released, the number of people working is reduced, but the work quota is not reduced. If the quotas are not met, the deputy captain puts pressure on the guards.

In October 2004, more than 20 officers climbed the walls and got into a house to arrest practitioners. A police officer grabbed a manure shovel and brutally beat practitioners with it. The entire courtyard was enveloped with dust due to the severe beating. The beating caused a large tear in the back of Ms. Wang Caiqin's jacket.

Her body was also full of injuries and bruises. The court sentenced Ms Wang to four years in prison.

No forms, paper work, or lawful procedures were carried out.

With great effort I shouted my husband's name. Hearing my voice, he walked back and forth in front of me, searching for me. I told him that I was Gao Yan. He was shocked. He could not believe that I was tortured so badly that he no longer could recognise me within a just few days. He cried."
  • Torture at the Cangzhou City Brainwashing Centre in Hebei Province

    The Changzhou City Brainwashing Centre, known as the Cangzhou City Legal Education Centre has subjected 235 Falun Gong practitioners to brainwashing and torture since 2001. Practitioners on the first floor are forced to watch or listen to video programmes that slander Falun Dafa. These brainwashing sessions try to make practitioners lose their reason and their human nature, so they will renounce Falun Dafa. The iron gate on the first floor is kept locked all day. Two guards take turns guarding the gate and no one is allowed to enter except the staff.

  • 610 Office in Guangxi Province, Ruthlessly Tortures Dafa Practitioners

    The 610 Office has once again launched a persecution campaign against Falun Dafa practitioners. The staff secretly planned the persecution strategy beforehand and held a meeting together with the managers of the related work units to discuss specifically how to implement the torture. They listed the practitioners targeted for persecution. The county 610 Office printed and distributed "transformation" form to all the related workplaces. They then forced every workplace to carry out forceful brainwashing by saying, "if practitioners are not transformed internally, your workplace have to pay 20,000 'yuan' to the county 610 Office."
  • A Forced Labour Camp Inmate: The Horrific Tortures Used on Falun Gong Practitioners in a Beijing Forced Labour Camp for Women

    "I was sent to a forced labour camp because I was addicted to drugs. I was designated as one of the "clampdown personnel," who were prison inmates assigned to oversee the activities of Falun Gong practitioners. Through the performance of my duties, I became acquainted with various reprehensible and deceitful methods employed to isolate and monitor people. Sometimes, in order to gain the approval of the division leader and obtain leniency and privileges for ourselves, we were driven to extremes, finding excuses to beat and insult the innocent practitioners. The prison supervisor favoured inmates who frequently beat and scolded the practitioners."
  • "Destroy Them Physically:" The Jiamusi Labour Camp Follows the CCP's Genocidal Policy

    On April 30th 2005, Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Wu Chunlong was sent home from Jiamusi Labour Camp when he was unconscious and dying. After returning home, he was continually monitored by the police. He died on August 20th 2005 after enduring another four months of misery and pain at the young age of 29. Jiamusi Labour Camp is guilty of following the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) genocidal policy toward Falun Dafa practitioners: "destroy them physically." The labour camp releases Falun Dafa practitioners only when they were dying, either to die at home or else suffer major disability.
  • Women's Labour Camp of Fujian Province Made Huge Profits Selling Practitioners' Blood

    Every now and then, the guards in the Women's Labour Camp of Fujian Province would draw a large volume of blood from the Falun Dafa practitioners, who had already become very frail from the brutal tortures. The loss of blood further sabotaged the practitioners' health, and meanwhile, the labour camp would make huge profits selling their blood. For the practitioners who did not cooperate, inmates would forcefully draw blood from them. One time, Ms. Cuan Saizhu's mouth and nose were sealed with sealing tape by brigade leaders. The skin on her cheek came off with the tape when the sealing tape was pulled off. It was too brutal to watch.
  • Thirteen Types of Torture Used on Falun Gong Practitioners at Gaoyang Labour Camp

    One of the thirteen types of torture at Gaoyang Labour Camp is called "Hanging legs": A deep hole is dug into the ground. The practitioner is then made to sit on the edge of the hole with both legs hanging down. Next, a big stone is tied to a rope, and the other end is tied to the practitioner's legs. The big stone is then thrown into the pit. The pain of this torture can hardly be imagined.
