Arrested and Mercilessly Beaten by Multiple Policemen for Upholding My Belief in Falun Dafa
2005-05-27
"I was arrested by the police when I went door to door to give out leaflets exposing the persecution. One policeman told me during the interrogation, "We are the machines of the CCP. If the CCP has us beat you then we will beat you." They also said that if the CCP orders them kill people, they would do it, because the CCP will give them money. They had no trouble getting my mouth to bleed during the beatings. As I used my hand to wipe the blood away, they forced my hand away from my mouth. They beat me to the point where I became dizzy and lost my eyesight." -
One Hundred Days of Persecution at the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp
2005-05-26"A police officer searched my home, found Falun Dafa books and leaflets exposing the persecution. I was arrested and sentenced me to two years in Masanjia Forced Labour Camp. The police officer threatened, "The guards at Masanjia Forced Labour Camp are reincarnated ghosts from hell!" In Masanjia I had to endure intensive brainwashing. There were many consecutive groups, one after the other, who tried to brainwash me. I was forced to get up early and come to the classroom, where collaborators surrounded me and tried to confuse me with distorted ideas. Each day from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m., except for meal times, they approached me in groups and tried to brainwash me, yet they could not "reform" me." -
"I Am Still Alive!" -- Told By a Practitioner Recently Released From Masanjia Forced Labour Camp
2005-05-26"My name is Xu Qingyan. I was recently released from the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. The Mansanjia Forced Labour Camp is just one of the concentration camps where Falun Gong practitioners are being persecuted. I am still alive, although I was near death. I want to solemnly declare here that I am innocent, and not guilty of any charges levelled against me. I have been persecuted for my beliefs. I'd like to tell everyone all that I experienced in the forced labour camp during the past year." -
I Witnessed Wu Baowang's Death Due to Torture at the Shuangcheng City Detention Centre
2005-05-25"I witnessed the murder of practitioner Mr. Wu Baowang at the hands of guards in the Shuangcheng Detention Centre. I was arrested and sent to the Shuangcheng City Detention Centre, Shuangcheng City, Heilongjiang Province. Wu Baowang was also detained there. In fact, there was only one cell between his and mine. His cell number was 6 and mine was 8. On May 15, 2002, I heard continuous, heart-breaking screams coming from Wu Baowang's cell. At the beginning the sound was loud, but later it became weaker and weaker. I heard him say, "You are doing this to kill me! You don't want me to live!" Later, it was completely quiet." -
A High School Student Is Forcefully Expelled from School: Nie Yingchao's Personal Account
2005-05-19"My name is Nie Yingchao. I am a 10th grade student. I used to be in the class of Literature and Arts at the Yinan County 2nd High School in Shandong Province. Near the end of 2004, I was in my 10th grade class, one evening during self-study period, when my teacher who was heavily misguided by the lies and propaganda against Falun Gong, suddenly became furious and flew into a rage. He wanted me to leave school. My teacher then slapped my face once, and announced to the class that nobody was allowed to discuss Falun Gong. Anyone doing so would be subject to expulsion from school. Against my will I was abducted from school by "610 Office" agents and expelled, just because I believe in Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance." -
The Persecution of Dafa Practitioner Ms Li Ying at the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp
2005-05-13Ms. Li Ying was incarcerated in Masanjia Forced Labour Camp. Before her release she wrote a letter to her parents, which said, "While writing this letter I shiver with fear recalling the past three years in prison. I want to tell all my relatives and family about my experiences. I want to tell everybody about those who have committed crimes so that people will know the truth. Just like me, many other practitioners in the prison had been persecuted so seriously that they had difficulty moving around on their legs. Every day my heart felt the tremendous pressure, and my ears were filled with the loud cries of the people around me." -

2005-05-12In November 2004, when Ms Song Jinlai was exposing the persecution about Falun Gong, she was arrested and sent to a brainwashing class to be persecuted. At that time, her parents not only had to bear the pain of being separated from their daughter, they also had to tolerate harassment and threats from the local authorities. Her father, who had lived in fear and anxiety, fell ill. He finally passed away in grief and despair, leaving his wife and daughter behind. -
Falun Dafa Practitioner Bai Jianjun Recounts Persecution Experience at Shanghai First Detention Centre
2005-05-11I resisted the unjust persecution by not signing my name on the "repentance statement". Additionally, I went on hunger strike to protest the persecution. A group of inmates who were led by the guard slapped my face and beat my chest with their fists. A few inmates surrounded me and kicked me. They forced my head into the toilet; and, after three times of being held under, my will was broken and I gave up my hunger strike. Now, I really have experienced how brutal this persecution is and why this persecution has cast such a huge shadow of terror. It has taken months for me to gradually eliminate the terror I have experienced. -
Ms. Tian Yuan, a Disabled Practitioner, Recounts the Persecution She Has Suffered by Police in Changchun City
2005-05-02"I used to be a doctor. In early 1994, a policeman who was carrying a gun illegally opened fire when he was arguing with someone over personal issues. The bullet hit my spinal column, and I became paralysed from the chest down. I've been confined to a wheelchair since that day 11 years ago. I started to practise Falun Gong in May 1999. Very soon after that, miracles happened. My legs stopped suffering from oedema and atrophy. In March 2004, over twenty policemen arrested me and took me to the detention centre. At the detention centre, I followed the legal procedures and requested a lawyer and an administrative re-examination of my case. Both of my requests were turned down. On March 14, 2005, the Procuratorate sent someone to my home and wanted to take me, even though I could not walk or take care of myself, to the court for sentencing." -
Police Force Pregnant Falun Gong Practitioner to Undergo an Abortion
2005-04-24The authorities forcibly took me to the Family Planning Office in Guangdong Province. There, an ultrasound was done, and I was then sent to the operating table. I held onto the door and didn't want to enter the operating room. Five or six men put me up on the operating table and didn't leave until two women held me down. I was so scared! After the surgery, they took me back to the police station. The personnel there didn't want to keep me, so they sent me home. I lay down on the bed with a blank mind. These evil people deprived a two-month-old life of its opportunity to live! -
A German Student Urgently Appeals to Rescue her Mother who was Kidnapped in Beijing
2005-04-15On 5th April 2005, the Falun Gong Information Centre received an SOS letter from Liu Fang. She wrote in her letter that her mother, Ms. Liu Yawen was arrested on Thursday 31st March by the local police in Beijing when distributing Falun Gong Video-CDs and her whereabouts is unknown. Afterwards, the street committee Members and the local police came and searched Liu’s home together. Because Ms Liu Yawen lives by herself, Liu Fang could only find out about her mother’s welfare through friends and family, but they have been unsuccessful and couldn’t get through the information blockade. -
Directing the International Community’s Attention to the Situation of Jiang Renzheng from Germany, who was sent back to China and is now in a Forced Labour Camp
2005-04-14The persecution of Jiang Renzheng and Guo Rui when they were back in China has fully exposed the evil nature of the CCP: It wants to persecute everyone who believes in Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance and destroy their bodies and minds. What it has done is against human nature and is opposed by kind people all over the world. We are calling on the German Government, the European Parliament, the Human Rights Commission of the United Nations and those who are pursuing peace and justice to defend the basic human rights of Jiang Renzheng and his wife and put an end to this inhuman persecution. -

Lost Memory and a Broken Arm Due to Torture - A Falun Dafa Practitioner Retells Her Story
2005-04-14"I did not violate the law. Just because I firmly believe in "Truth, Compassion, and Forbearance," and refuse to give up practising Falun Dafa, they tortured me in a detention centre until I was disabled, making me so thin and weak. They did not allow my family to visit me during the first month. I went on hunger strike; then they force-fed me. They used four to five young men to hold down my legs, arms, and head, and they pinched my nose while they poured milk, which was saturated with salt, down my throat. They never cared whether my life was in danger or not."
