• The Atrocities Committed in Zhengyang Police Station, Qiqihar, Heilongjiang Province: Practitioners Suffocated with Smoke, Force-fed Alcohol, and Hung Up

  2013-02-15
  In early March 2005, officials from the Zhengyang Police Station in Qiqihar City arrested 68 Falun Gong practitioners. I was one of them. The police detained us and then interrogated us using different forms of torture. Nearly every practitioner was tortured with the “Big Hang Up.” The police hung us up with our hands cuffed behind our backs. In addition, they put lit cigarettes into our nostrils and suffocated us with smoke. We could hardly breathe. They also force-fed us alcohol. Despite the fact that I am a woman, several male officers grabbed me, shoved me down on the floor, and poured liquor down my throat.

• Ms. Zhang Yingdong's Personal Experience of Brutal Persecution by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in Heishan, Liaoning

  2012-11-13
  Ms. Zhang Yingdong practises Falun Gong. She has been brutally persecuted and was tortured in detention centres and forced labour camps. She suffered life-threatening situations several times. Brainwashing in Masanjia is normally not done by guards. Instead they arrange for collaborators (former practitioners, brainwashed against Falun Gong, made to assist in brainwashing and torturing practitioners) to try to “transform” you. They would first chat with you and not allow you to sleep. Then, when you are muddle-headed, they indoctrinate you with their distorted ideas.

• Retired Lieutenant Colonel: I See Clearly the Evil Essence of the Chinese Communist Party

  2012-05-26
  I feel truly sorry for those who haven't realized how evil the essence of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) really is. Once upon a time, I was just like them. Although people know that corruption in the Party is very common, they continue to put their hopes in it. Although most people are puzzled by the CCP's propaganda, they never think to question it, because they don't believe that a nation-wide media publication could deceive the population of an entire country.
