The Violence and Sub-Human Treatment I Experienced at Masanjia Forced Labour Camp
2003-02-16The evildoers are really afraid of being exposed for what they have done to Dafa practitioners. Once we heard that the higher authorities had requested to inspect Masanjia. The camp authorities made thorough preparations a few days in advance. They chose a few people who had been brainwashed and transformed who were easy to handle... Later, we learned that human rights organisations came for investigation. What they saw was all sham! -
The Savage Acts of Guards in the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp Cannot Shake My Righteous Thoughts

Account of the Ill Treatment Suffered by an Imprisoned Practitioner
2003-02-04They used all kinds of tactics to try to shake my belief. They tied my arms and legs to the four corners of a bed so that I could barely move. It was very painful when they force-fed me every day in this position... They would then shamelessly say that it was all for my benefit. -

2003-01-31I was a healthy woman, but now I was disabled, skin and bones, with white hair. Whenever my colleagues came to visit, they were shocked, "You no longer look like a person in your early forties. They changed you into an old lady with their torture!" Seeing my appearance after being tortured, people would ask, "Is this the kind of 'caring and love' shown to Falun Gong practitioners in the TV programmes?" -
Persecution of A Village Girl
2003-01-31Although my writing may not be elegant, these are the facts of what happened. A girl has experienced persecution to such a degree, and her family members have also suffered such great pain.

After I refused, they did not send the letter. -

I Was Kidnapped, Beaten and Imprisoned by the Yilan County Detention Centre
2003-01-23Five or six policemen roughly pulled me off my bed and dragged me outside. I was wearing just underpants and did not have shoes on. I struggled and shouted out.

In the process, my head sustained a two-inch cut and my face was covered with blood.

My Experience in a Brainwashing Class

One time, several of them simultaneously and ferociously hit me on my chest, on my back and on the back of my neck. I almost lost consciousness, but, despite the unbearable pain, I still refused to sign any "guarantee statement." -
