Unspeakably Ruthless Torture in Changlinzi Labour Camp
2003-12-04After learning all kinds of torture methods from other provinces and the notorious Wanjia Labour Camp in Harbin, the police brutally tortured practitioners in order to try to force them to give up their belief...One policeman told me, "Several days ago, Jiang Zemin sent someone here to check the transformation rate.

Lecturer From Beijing's Central Institute of Nationalities, Presses Charges against Chinese Authorities
2003-12-01As clearly stipulated by code 41 of the Constitution and code 254 of the criminal law, no person or organisation has the right to penalise, indict, or file a complaint against any citizen that file appeals. Yet, the involved administration authorities unreasonably withheld my complaint and as a legal plaintiff, and I was personally subjected to persecution by them as well. They used vicious means to harm my body and nervous system, and they tried to hound me to death or to the point that I suffered mental collapse. To quote their words, a person like me must "either be killed or made mentally disordered." It was not me who is the criminal, but these people of the concerned administration authority. -

Torture Instead of Healing Leads to a Fifty Percent Death Rate for Practitioners at the Public Security Hospital in Jilin Province
2003-11-30When I heard that Liu Chengjun was admitted to the Public Security Hospital located in Jilin Province, I became very anxious. I remembered my own persecution experiences, having spent just four days in that hospital. I personally saw how the aim of the so-called "hospital" was basically not to cure or help Falun Dafa practitioners but instead was exactly the opposite. The persecution of Falun Gong practitioners was taken a step further there. I thoroughly came to understand the essence of the evil authorities in their attempt to create a news blockade, the intensity of their aggravated persecution, and their fabrication of lies. -

Heizuizi Women's Forced Labour Camp Attempts to Force Practitioner to Renounce Dafa in Vain

Practitioner Ms. Long Ying Suffers at Hands of Police in Baimalong Labour Camp
2003-11-28The Jiang Zemin regime has been bloodily persecuting those who believe in "Truth, Compassion, Tolerance." As human beings, practitioners also have limits to how much their human bodies can sustain. As a result, it is no surprise that some practitioners have suffered severe mental trauma and mental collapse, or hurt themselves after being subjected to constant terror and torture in the forced labour camps. These incidences in turn expose the degree of the brutality and inhumanity of the persecution. -
