• Falun Dafa Turns a Bully into a Kind Man but Jiang's Regime then Imprisons Him

  2004-06-06
  Many people in Yupin County of Guizhou Province know Mr. Zhao Youde. The changes he showed after beginning Falun Dafa practice are so touching that the officers in the police station also admire him. When Jiang's regime began persecuting Falun Gong, Zhao Youde was illegally arrested and has been cruelly persecuted by Jiang's regime. He was locked up and told he would be detained for eight years. Zhao Youde's parents died one after the other, grieving over such wrongs, and having nowhere to appeal for their son's innocence.

• "Horror Could Be Felt Everywhere" - Exposing the Cruelties in Masanjia Labour Camp

  2004-05-28
  "Toward the end of 2002 in Masanjia's Second Women's Camp, the police were forcing Falun Dafa practitioners to renounce their belief, while horror could be felt everywhere. The police carried handcuffs and ropes with them. The authorities were going wild. I now stay on the first floor. This is the floor where the tortures take place. Observing the unwavering Dafa practitioners being persecuted until their last, weak breaths and until they are mentally unstable is horrifying to watch"

• Elderly Practitioner Ms Wen Huiying from Hunan Province Recounts the Brutal Persecution She Has Suffered

  2004-05-26
  "My name is Wen Huiying. I'm a retired worker from the Taoyuan County Shipping Company in Changde City, Hunan Province. Because I believe in Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance, I was unjustly and brutally persecuted by Jiang's regime. I have been arrested and detained many times since the persecution of Falun Dafa began on July 20, 1999. Twice I was sentenced to a forced labour camp. Now I am homeless and have to move from one place to another in order to escape the persecution. At home, I have an eighty-year-old father-in-law who needs my care. My husband has several dislocated vertebrae and has problems taking care of himself. My son is working out of town and my family needs my care. But I'm forced to drift from one place to another and cannot return home."

• Personal Account of Persecution in Shanghai

  2004-05-24
  "In August of 2001, because of printing Dafa banners, I was arrested by the police and brought to the Yangpu Detention Centre. In order to isolate Dafa practitioners from each other, each prison cell only holds one practitioner while the rest of the inmates are criminals who have committed various crimes. Each cell measures less than 16 square meters [approximately 160 square feet]; excluding the pit-type lavatory, the area for sitting and sleeping is very small. With more than twenty inmates detained in a cell, fights broke out every day; very often we would be awakened in the middle of the night by the noise of fighting and shouting due to someone's loud snoring or arguments from inmates trying to get more sleeping space."

• Illegally Detained and Searched in the Hong Kong Airport, Officials Call it "Routine Inspection"

  2004-05-23
  "On the night of April 29, 2004, I went to Hong Kong via China Airlines to attend a Falun Dafa Experience Sharing Conference legally permitted by the Hong Kong government. I was issued an entry permit by the Hong Kong government a week prior to my trip. However, when I entered customs, I was immediately escorted by the airport police to a small room and searched. I asked them in surprise, "Will it always be like this to enter Hong Kong in the future?" They replied, "This is just a routine inspection." I asked again, "Which Hong Kong law have I breached for you to treat me like this?" They answered, "Sorry, we are just conducting a routine inspection.""

• Beijing Policemen's Brutality: Stripping Female Practitioners Naked, Putting Them In Snow, Burning Their Private Parts with Cigarettes

  2004-05-21
  "One practitioner who was interrogated during the daytime on the second day was a girl about 20 years old. After she came back from interrogation, her clothes were messed up and her hair was dishevelled. She seemed to have changed into another person, and she was seriously hurt physically and mentally. I asked another practitioner what had happened to the girl, and she said, "The police took off all of her clothes and forced her to sit in the snow for 2-3 hours. The most evil thing was that the policemen ordered drug-addicts and prostitutes to burn her private parts with lit cigarettes..." This practitioner was overcome with grief and could not continue to describe the torture that happened to the young girl."

• Yoko Kaneko's Submission to the UN

  2004-04-08
  "In the Police Hospital, the police tried to force me to give up my belief. They handcuffed me to a bed. The handcuffs were so tight that my wrists bled. They not only inserted a tube through my nose into my stomach for force-feeding but also used a catheter so that I would not go to the toilet. At that time, I was menstruating. They put me on a plastic sheet with my lower body naked and exposed. When I was finally released from the bed, the skin on my entire back was in a state of putrefaction."

• Female Practitioner Detained Seven Times In Two Years While Two Family Members Passed Away

  2004-04-06
  "I am a female Falun Gong practitioner, and I am 52 years old this year. Since I started to practise Falun Gong I was arrested seven times, and I lost two family members in those two years. Because my son and I were arrested at the same time, my mother fell ill due to excessive worry. After we were arrested, my husband suffered from cerebral hemorrhage, so no one was left to take care of my mother. Later my father also passed away while I was imprisoned.

• Woman Dafa Practitioner: "The Brutal Force Feeding and other Tortures I Suffered in Harbin Criminal Department and Wanjia Hospital"

  2004-04-04
  " I was deceived into going to the Wanjia Hospital, where I was held for a total of four months and five days and suffered inhuman torture. Since the day I was arrested, I had refused to eat and drink in order to protest the illegal detention. The police sent me to the hospital where I was forcefully injected with a drug that disrupted my mental faculties. Officer Wang said to me, "So you're not eating. OK, this is how we deal with you: force-feed! We don't care if you die from force-feeding. You know that many people have died from force-feeding. But they die in vain. No one cares!" "

• Practitioner Xin Minduo's Personal Account of Being Severely Persecuted (Photo)

  2004-04-03
  It is very risky for me to write this letter, and I am not writing for my personal gain. I wish to let you understand the truth about the persecution. After this tribulation of being in the labour camp, I went back to my workplace. I saw the fear of my supervisors of being implicated. Also, my colleagues cursed me, which hurt me deeply. I see the twisted hearts of the people who are deceived by the lies. These lies only hurt those who believe in them. There are also many people who know the evil of this persecution. They appear to be very apathetic. Nowadays, some Chinese really do not understand people who insist on defending the truth with their lives.

• Dalian Dafa Practitioners Injected with Harmful Drugs at the Lushun 215 Mental Hospital

  2004-04-01
  Since the Jiang regime first began the suppression of Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, they have abused their power by mobilising their propaganda machine to slander and defame Falun Dafa. They have utilised judicial systems, army troops and all other dictatorial resources to persecute Falun Gong. On that July 20, we went to the Appeals Office in Dalian City to make an appeal for Falun Dafa. On July 21, various police personnel, such as Dalian policemen, anti-riot police and military police, all began beating us. They used electric batons and wooden nightsticks to violently beat all practitioners, regardless of whether they were young, old, male or female.
