• The Persecution I Was Subjected to at the Xuzhou Mental Hospital in Jiangsu Province

  2011-05-25
  After the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began its persecution of Falun Gong in July 1999, I was taken to detention centres and forced labour camps several times. In 2001, local 610 Office agents (an organisation of special agents just for persecuting Falun Gong) sent several practitioners (including me) to the Xuzhou Mental Hospital. We were injected with unknown drugs as soon as we arrived. The drugs made us feel ill, flustered, and agitated. At night, the doctors ordered us to lie in bed all night long without moving. Anyone who did not obey the order was tied to the bed and injected with additional drugs.

• A Belated Mother's Day Wish

  2011-05-25
  Mother was arrested and imprisoned three times for exposing the persecution of Falun Gong. For many nights I cried for mother in my dreams, and when I awakened, tears were all over my face. Every time I telephoned the forced labor camp, my request to talk to mother was rejected because she refused to be transformed [forcibly renounce Falun Gong]. I couldn't write to her or visit her. Later, I found out that they had tortured her into a state of disability. Early in 2009, I went to the forced labor camp to see her. When the heavy gate slowly opened, I was disappointed to see a policeman emerge instead of my mother. After a long interrogation-style conversation, the policeman still did not let me see mother.

• My Seventy-Year-Old Mother Sentenced to a Twelve-Year Prison Term and in Critical Condition

  2011-05-24
  During the persecution of Falun Gong by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Ms. Gao Deyu, my 70-year-old mother, didn't renounce the practice. She was sentenced to a 12-year prison term on September 14th, 2010 by the Xichang City Court. She was transferred from the Liangshan Detention Centre to the Longquanyi Women's Prison on April 10th. Two days later she was in critical condition. Apparently, she did not meet the "four requirements" when she was taken there, as her blood pressure was far too high. Within a few days of staying at the Jintang Prison Hospital, one of her teeth was knocked out. Her hands, arms, legs, and thighs were bruised as a result of beatings, and they extorted 5,000 yuan from her family.

• Remembering My Mother and Brother

  2011-05-21
  My family lives in Wuhan City, Hubei Province. There were five people in our home, including my father, mother, oldest brother, second older brother, and a younger sister. We all practised Falun Gong and followed the principles of “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.” Our life was a simple but happy one. We respected, cared for and loved each other. Not long after the persecution began in July 1999, the harmony in this family of five ended. Two are now dead and three severely harmed. The oldest brother is still being held in jail, which has left our younger sister, who has suffered all sorts of abuse, alone with our father, who has lost his sanity.
