• Ms. Tian Yuan, a Disabled Practitioner, Recounts the Persecution She Has Suffered by Police in Changchun City

  2005-05-02
  "I used to be a doctor. In early 1994, a policeman who was carrying a gun illegally opened fire when he was arguing with someone over personal issues. The bullet hit my spinal column, and I became paralysed from the chest down. I've been confined to a wheelchair since that day 11 years ago. I started to practise Falun Gong in May 1999. Very soon after that, miracles happened. My legs stopped suffering from oedema and atrophy. In March 2004, over twenty policemen arrested me and took me to the detention centre. At the detention centre, I followed the legal procedures and requested a lawyer and an administrative re-examination of my case. Both of my requests were turned down. On March 14, 2005, the Procuratorate sent someone to my home and wanted to take me, even though I could not walk or take care of myself, to the court for sentencing."

• Practitioners Pursued and Arrested as CCP Launches Largest Nationwide Assault on Falun Gong Since July 20th 1999

  2005-04-23
  The CCP has now launched its well-planned persecution of Dafa practitioners throughout the entire country. And their means will be exceedingly brutal. According to different news sources, the secret persecution is being mapped out nationwide. We are investigating the details in the regions that have already begun to act.

• Liu Yongjing Brutally Tortured by the 610 Office and Linyi City Detention Centre

  2005-04-20
  Liu Yongjing was arrested on June 10, 2004. He was beaten black and blue and thrown into the Linyi City Detention Centre that night, with hands and feet shackled. He held a hunger strike to protest this persecution. On about the fourth day of his hunger strike, policemen from the detention centre force-fed him by pushing a tube into his stomach. The tube was not the thin, silica gel tube required by hospitals, but a thick, rubber tube. It was very painful having such a tube forced into his body. The perpetrators then pushed the tube in, then pulled it out, and repeated this torture. This nearly resulted in Liu Yongjing's death. His cries for help were heard at the beginning then faded away. Liu Yongjing was on the verge of death after that torture.
