  • How I Suffered a Mental Collapse Due to Torture and Recovered After Resuming Cultivation

    We went on hunger strikes to protest, and the vile guards force-fed us with excrement. I was force-fed twice with excrement, and afterwards, I had a fever of over 40 degrees Celsius (about 104 degrees Fahrenheit) and serious diarrhoea. Under the severe physical and mental torture, I suffered a mental breakdown. The labour camp, afraid of taking responsibility, asked my family to take me back home in August 2001.

    The police asked her, "Why have you gone on a hunger strike?" She said: "I didn't break the law, so I shouldn't be locked in here. I will eat only if you let me go home. I was kidnapped because of my belief in Truth-Compassion-Tolerance. The rogue (former leader Jiang Zemin) in power is breaking the law in enforcing this action and is depriving people of their human rights and freedom of belief. This is my silent protest.

  • Meihekou City Police Deceitfully Plots Mass Arrest of Falun Gong Practitioners

    The Falun Gong representatives asked him, "Why did you ask us to come then?" Qi said, a few representatives might come, but when so many people come it is seen as an attack.

After video taping, these 9 practitioners were sent to Tiebei prison and were later sentenced to a labour camp unjustifiably.
  • Practitioner Survives Three Day Coma to Tell Story of Horrific Torture

    I didn't know how long I had passed out for when I gradually recovered consciousness. I heard crying. I saw the fellow practitioners around me crying. A doctor measured my blood pressure and gave me an injection. Fellow practitioners told me that I had been in a coma for two days and three nights. When I finally woke up, I felt my whole body was in so much pain, like ten thousand of needles sticking me. I couldn't move my arms at all. They were severely swollen and covered with black and blue marks. My hands were very swollen. My face was so swollen that I looked like a creature with a big head.

  • Jiang's Regime Killed Three of My Family Members

    The guards stripped off his clothing and knocked him to the ground with a rope tied tightly around his mouth and head...They then used six electric batons on the sensitive points of his body. They tortured him this way from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. Only a little portion of his skin was left unharmed due to the high voltage electricity of the batons, which smelled of badly burnt flesh.

You should just listen and say nothing."
  • Letter from Heartbroken Father to His Daughter

    I was very angry to hear the news; the law enforcement organisations were ruining the law. I have no trust in them any more because they deprive citizens of their basic rights. Your mum is not alone; she has a husband and a daughter. But her husband and daughter have been deprived of the right to see her in court; the verdict was even delivered by others. I was bitterly disappointed in the legal system.
  • Cruelty Beyond Imagination Towards Determined Dafa Practitioners at Masanjia Forced Labour Camp

    The prison guards told them, "No matter what crimes are committed against determined Dafa practitioners, it is all acceptable. If they die due to the torture, you can say it was because they were born with a lot of karma [Note: this is a distortion of spiritual principles in order to coerce collaborators to assist in the persecution and absolve them of responsibility]."
  • Vicious Abuse of Falun Dafa Practitioners at Kaiping District Forced Labour Camp

    "I am making a silent appeal. We were force fed, then forced to go to the hospital. You think about it, who is persecuting the good people in the great land of China? Who is breaking up millions of happy families? Who has used foreign investments to build labour camps, detention centres and brainwashing centres, and then used them exclusively to persecute good people?!" The police could not answer her at all.
