• Showing Open Disrespect for the Law, Qingdao Court Opens Trial of Lawyer Wang Zhangshuo

  2010-10-15
  On September 29th, 2010, a Huangdao Court in Qingdao City began the trial of attorney and Falun Gong practitioner Wang Zhangshuo. Only the day before, the court had notified his family that the trial would begin at 9:30 a.m., but they suddenly moved the time to an hour earlier and changed the presiding judge. Wang Zhangshuo's family hired two attorneys from Beijing, but the court would not allow lawyers from Beijing to represent him. This decision violated Chinese law and affected the outcome. In the proceedings, the Huangdao Procuratorate charged Mr. Wang with "crimes of sabotaging the implementation of the State's laws by utilising an evil religious organisation", and provided mounds of false evidence.

• Ms. Xu Xiaohua Arrested for Refusing to Be a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Agent

  2010-10-15

• Teacher Zhu, Everyone is Looking Forward to Your Return Home

  2010-10-14
  I remembered my chemistry teacher, Ms. Zhu Huimin, whom I had studied with at the Wuhan First Business Vocational School. I went to visit her and she looked very excited and told me that she was practising Falun Gong. Ms. Zhu simply said that after she started practising Falun Gong, her headaches, insomnia and all other diseases disappeared. I was worried about Ms. Zhu at that time because the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was doing so many bad things, including defamation, disinformation, and attacks against Falun Gong. Ms. Zhu was handing out flyers in a shopping centre and the police had sent her to Hewan Labour Camp for a year of forced labour.

• Forcing a Son To Denounce His Own Parents, Chengdu City 610 Office Uses Methods Not Seen Since the Cultural Revolution

  2010-10-08
  Huang Xu was pressured by Chengdu City 610 Office (an organisation of special agents just for persecuting Falun Gong) to persecute his own parents in order to keep his job. His parents, Mr. Huang Shilin and Ms. Yang Ying are a kind, peace-loving couple who both practise Falun Gong. Despite the Communist regime's posing as a modern country, the tragedy of children harming and denouncing their own parents that took place during the Cultural Revolution is sadly once again taking place in today's China. On August 13th, due to their son's direct involvement, Mr. Huang Shilin and Ms. Yang Ying were arrested on their way to a food market by police. The officials sent the couple to the Xinjin Brainwashing Centre.

• Guizhou Women's Forced Labour Camp Uses Prisoners to Persecute Falun Gong Practitioners

  2010-10-07
  Six prisoners called "collaborators" monitor and torture practitioners around the clock. They force practitioners to stand like soldiers, with both hands tightly touching the trousers, the body straight, and heels touching each other. Practitioners can only look forward and they are not allowed to talk or move any part of their body. If practitioners even look in another direction once, they are denigrated by the collaborators. These collaborators continuously slander Falun Gong. Some practitioners pass out during this torture. Collaborators forced practitioners to read books that slandered Falun Gong. The practitioners who refused to read the books were not allowed to use the toilet. With excrement in their trousers, they were not allowed to change clothes.

• Mr. Ma Zhiwu Recounts Eight Years of Suffering

  2010-10-06
  The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began to persecute Falun Gong on July 20th, 1999. Because of my belief, I was detained and imprisoned in Yinchuan Detention Centre, Ningxia Forced Labour Camp, and Wuzhong Prison for eight years. I experienced the most inhuman torture imaginable during those days. I couldn't understand why good people would be detained in a place that should only be for criminals. In August 2000, I started a hunger strike to protest the persecution and demand my freedom. They poured some milk down me through a tube in my nose after the doctor gave me anaesthesia. In order to make me suffer, they inserted the tube into my nose and kept inserting and pulling it out. Some pulled my arms, some pushed my legs down, some held my head. It was so painful that I wanted to die.
