2004-09-24In March 2001, guards at the Longshan Forced Labour Camp in Shenyang City started the systematic persecution of Falun Gong practitioners so as to "forcibly reform" them, a euphemism for brainwashing. The head administrator once ferociously told Falun Gong practitioners who were steadfast in cultivation, "This is an institution of coercion! You must be reformed, whether you agree or not!" Female prison guard Wang Jinghui said, "You don't want to be reformed? Then your stay here won't be comfortable!" Team leader Tang Yubao usually kicked and punched practitioners or shocked them with electric batons. He also verbally abused them. -

My Horrifying Experience at the Hands of the Police (Photos)
2004-09-21"It was noon on July 19, 2000 and I was taking a break at home, wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt because of the hot weather. All of a sudden, four or five policemen broke into my home and questioned me as to whether I was still practising Falun Gong. They handcuffed me and ordered me go to the police station with them. My family members tried to reason with them, but the police threatened my family with handcuffs and electric batons. However, they didn't go to the police station; instead, they drove me to a remote forest farm. They hung me from a tree by my handcuffs and kept beating me." -

Torture Methods Used on Practitioners in Xinhua Labour Camp, Sichuan Province (Illustrations)
2004-09-20These methods of torture were used in the year 2000 on practitioners detained in Xinhua Labour Camp, Sichuan province. The police instigated drug addicts to tie up practitioners' hands, and hung them up by the feet to a basketball support. Then these thugs cursed and beat the practitioners with their hands and feet. Sometimes over a dozen would together beat one practitioner. The man who beat the practitioners the most fiercely would be given a reward by the guards - he might be named a detainee leader and given authority to order other detainees -

An Open Letter to those Authorities Responsible for the Torture and Killing of Falun Dafa Practitioner Jiang Yong
2004-09-18Jiang Yong was very healthy and did not have any illness since he started practicing Falun Dafa. "Died from acute disease?!" Tell me, why is there a black and blue bloody scar on his neck? Why is his whole body black and blue? Why did blood flow from his mouth when his body was turned over? Why was toilet paper stuffed into his anus? Why did you falsely report the time of his death? Why did you change the clothes on his body? Why you are afraid of his family taking photos of his body? Why did you even beat them forcing them to flee so as to prevent ant photos from been taken? -

A Victim of Torture in China Exposes the Darkness of a Forced Labour Camp (Photos)
2004-09-12The following is an account in Ms. Dong's own words about her horrifying experience at the Longshan Forced Labour Camp. The regime tries to block this information from reaching governments and people overseas, and even the general Chinese population is unaware of the extent of the persecution because of the controlled media. For this reason, Ms. Dong had some pictures taken of herself to demonstrate the torture methods used on her while incarcerated, which would serve as a record for history. However, the torture that the victim actually suffered cannot fully be appreciated from these photographs. -
