• A Practitioner Recounts the Torture She Experienced at the Yuegezhuang Police Station

  2004-10-25
  One night in July of 2001, the police brought several of us Falun Dafa practitioners to the Yuegezhuang Police Station and five to six policemen used cruel and despicable means to try to force us to confess to crimes we had not committed. They handcuffed my hands behind the back of the chair. Then they passed an electric baton through the handcuffs, catching one end of the baton on the arm of the chair, and pressed the other end forcefully, making me cry out in such pain that my voice filled the night sky.

  "My name is Fan Xiaoli. I was born on September 12, 1958, and live in Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia. I am a Falun Gong practitioner and have benefitted much from the practice. Because I firmly practise Falun Gong and clarify the truth about the persecution, over the past five years my life has been seriously threatened; I have been humiliated, monitored, and followed, and my telephone was tapped. I have suffered serious mental and financial torment as well as unbelievably horrific physical persecution."

• A Practitioner's Child Says "I Need My Mum!"

  2004-10-22
  My name is Ping An, and I am a middle school student [in China]. However, I was forced to leave school because my mother is a Falun Dafa practitioner. Since July 20, 1999--when the persecution of Falun Gong started--until today, I have been living in horror, worry and fear. Because my mother practises Falun Gong, the local government officials forced my parents to divorce. Since then, my mother and I have had a difficult and worrisome life. It was even worse during the time when mother was not at home. Seeing children in other families play with their mums or go shopping together, or hearing other children calling their mums, I could not hold back my tears.

• My Experience Being Tortured in Miyun Prison, Heizuizi Forced Labour Camp and the Jilin Public Security Hospital (Photos)

  2004-10-16
  On October 25, 1999, I was abducted for going to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa and tell the government the truth about Falun Dafa. I was taken to Miyun Prison in Beijing City. Police held me down to the ground and put their hand-made handcuffs and shackles on me, weighing forty pounds. The handcuffs and shackles deeply cut into my flesh; my feet were badly mangled. Even so, they did not remove the handcuffs and shackles for six days. Later I was detained in Heizuizi Forced Labour Camp where I was brutally shocked with electric batons for three hours. In the evenings, my body and face ached as if they were burning.

• The Severe Torture I Suffered in the Chaoyanggou Forced Labour Camp (Photos)

  2004-10-14
  "This is what happened to me because of Jiang Zemin's ruling that, "Killing a practitioner is nothing and will be called as suicide." My story is only one of many. In China, many more have suffered even more severely. Changchun City's Chaoyanggou Forced Labour Camp enforcers alone have the deaths of 18 practitioners on their hands. Many more are still suffering from unbelievably savage torture."

  2004-10-13
  "My name is Zhang Beiqi. I'm a resident of Jilin Province. I am currently held at the Antu Detention Centre. People from Antu Police Department tortured me severely during their interrogations, which caused paralysis in my lower legs. I felt dizzy and extreme pain and couldn't take care of myself. I have to depend on others and have to lie down at the detention centre day and night, and live a life not fit for a human. Therefore, I am struggling every day, more dead than alive. I even received the arrest document from the prosecutor's office while I was in a coma. Now my case is being sent to the court and they are going to sentence me, based on the confession police extorted from me under brutal torture."

• Dafa Practitioner Ms. Luo Biqiong from Sichuan Province, Forced to Have an Abortion by Local Government

  2004-10-05
  "My name is Luo Biqiong. I am thirty-six years old. When I was unjustly detained, police asked me repeatedly whether or not I would continue to practise Falun Gong. I kept quiet so they continued to beat me without stopping. I was four months pregnant at the time. They hit my face, hands, and head and my whole body was cut and bruised, my mouth was filled with blood, my head and my hands were swollen, and both my legs turned purple. Eventually I couldn't stand the torture anymore and wrote a statement giving up Falun Gong. I regreted my action terribly and soon after revoked it. Just because I wrote, "I want to practise Falun Gong," I was subjected to a forced abortion that ended an innocent four-month-old life."

• A Practitioner and Her Family Endure Five Years of Persecution

  2004-09-29
  Two police claiming to be responsible for the security in my area also came to visit. One of them kept telling me: Why are you practising Falun Gong? Why not practise something else? While he was talking, he kept searching my household. I realized I would be arrested when I saw that the road we were taking wasn't the way to my office. They took me to the Third Affiliated Hospital (a mental hospital) of Beijing Medical School. I tried to escape, but they guarded all the car doors. Four men (two police, my colleague and my husband) each took hold of my limbs and carried me into the hospital hallway. I struggled to try to free myself. I cried out: "I am a Falun Gong practitioner. I am not a mental patient."
