Chilling Account of Violence at Heizuizi Women's Forced Labour Camp
2003-09-04One day, an eighteen or nineteen year-old woman was brought into the centre and charged with the crime of being a "Falun Gong thief." Many felt the charge seemed strange and it was later discovered that the police caught her after she stole a mobile phone. During her confession they threatened her: "You will be charged seriously if you don't say that you are a thief for Falun Gong." The policemen's purpose was that they wanted to blame her crime on Falun Gong so that they could get promoted and receive cash awards. -

Labour Camp Hang Falun Gong Practitioners from Trees and Force-Feed Them Concentrated Saline Solution
2003-09-02Even worse, they forced us to live in a "fungus room."

The room was not disinfected. We were not allowed to take a bath. It was spring. After a month, everybody living in this room developed different kinds of lumps on their bodies. Even the doctors didn't know what those were. -

Practitioner Ms. Qiu Lihua On Hunger Strike in Wanbolin Detention Centre, Shanxi Province
2003-08-31We have learned that Qiu Lihua went on a hunger strike shortly after her arrest. Currently, she is extremely weak, yet the Taiyuan Detention Centre continues to imprison her.

At that time, Qi Lihua, who was on intravenous infusion, was taken to court. When she used all her remaining physical strength to loudly proclaim: "Falun Dafa is good!" the righteous field shocked the whole court and her trial was hastily ended. -

My Daughter is Being Persecuted at the Dabei Jail in Shenyang
2003-08-30In March of this year, I saw my daughter through a friend's help. The moment I saw her I was shocked. My daughter was feeble and she had injures all over her face. Both of her hands were black and blue. She had a gaping wound in a triangular shape, which was most likely cause by a metal object. It was February when I saw her. My daughter cried and I felt very sad. No one should have to suffer like this in order to earn the right to pursue being a good person. I asked the warders why they beat Xiu Xiaoxue. The warders said shamelessly, "She was bumped by a machine." -
