She recounted: “After they tortured me with the "tiger bench" method for over four hours, I was close to death. They put a metal bucket over my head. Seven police officers smoked three cigarettes each and blew the smoke into the bucket for more than an hour. I choked and fainted many times. They brought me to by pouring cold water over me. Before I was completely clear-headed, they burned my eyelids with cigarette butts. The pain was indescribable.”

• Looking Back Ten Years -- Eyewitness Account of the Notorious "319 Incident" – Several Days of Particularly Brutal Persecution in Dalian Forced Labour Camp

  2011-04-20
  Ten years ago, on March 19th, 2001, the officials and guards at the Dalian Forced Labour Camp initiated a brutal mass persecution of Falun Gong practitioners who were detained there. It was called the “319 Incident” by local practitioners. I was one of them. "Body Folding" is a torture that is often used by the guards to persecute Falun Gong practitioners. The practitioner’s upper body and legs are forced to form a 90-degree angle; his legs are kept straight and his head points downward. His arms are raised high from behind his back to the maximum extent. Staying in this posture even a very short time leads to profuse sweating. The guards then brought out the electric batons to shock us. My hands were shocked numerous times.

Force-feeding like this is life threatening and I would rather die than live like this."

• Ms. Liu Xinyu Recounts Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Brainwashing and “Transformation”

  2011-04-17
  To my regret, I left Falun Gong cultivation for almost two years, between June 2001 and February 2003. That was the time when the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) agents “transformed” [forcibly renounce Falun Gong] me. I was detained at Chongqing Maojiashan Women's Forced Labour Camp, where I was brainwashed with information that defamed Falun Gong, force fed, forced to stand all night long, and beaten brutally. I was subjected to torture, humiliation and mistreatment. I was sometimes hung up by handcuffs. The cruellest torture was “carrying a sword behind the back.” One hand was pulled down over the shoulder behind the back, and the other hand pulled up from the waist behind the back then handcuffed to the other hand. The pain was unbearable.

  2011-04-14
  February 26th, 2011, while the happiness of the Chinese New Year celebration continued, was the darkest day of my life. It was on this day that I received news that my father, Qin Yueming, was persecuted to death in Jiamusi Prison. My mother, sister and I sat still in disbelief. My father was very healthy, how could he die? I am most saddened that my father died so tragically and we didn't even know how he had died. His facial expression was very pained. His lips were purple. When we turned him, blood came out of his mouth and nose. His neck, back, waist and legs were dark and purple with areas of scars, as well.

• Falun Gong Practitioner Ms. Yan Yuqin Became Mentally Disordered As a Result of Torture in Beijing's Tiantanghe Forced Labour Camp

  2011-04-03
  From the end of 2006 to 2007, I was detained at the Beijing Haidian Detention Centre for over three months. All I heard were the sounds of chains and screaming from beatings every day. The police were trained to be ruthless and never treated detainees as humans. A practitioner in her 50s was detained in the cell next to mine. Because she shouted “Falun Gong is good,” the police chained her hands and feet together. As a result, she could not walk normally. She could only move slowly in the heavy chains, and her back was bent nearly one hundred and eighty degrees. This is called the “Dog Chain” torture.

I also witnessed one 55-year-old grey-haired female practitioner being forced to carry these heavy bags of beans.

  Police arrested me in January 2001 and took me to a deserted courtyard to torture me. They covered my eyes and put a very heavy helmet on my head.
