  • Informing the World About Labour Camps, Detention Centres, Prisons, and Hospitals in Mainland China

    In March of 2005 at Wanjia Forced Labour Camp, all inmates, including Falun Gong practitioners, were ordered to have their blood drawn and tested. They said that they were testing us for infectious diseases. Everyone had a full test tube, which was the width of a thumb, filled with our blood. Every test tube was numbered. During the procedure, the prison hospital director was very aggressive and at the same time afraid that anyone might refuse. Thinking back, I'm speculating - was this in reality to build a database for live organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners?
  • Ms. Zhao Dewen Suffers Agonising Death at the Hands of Police and Drug Addicts in the Tianjin Women's Forced Labour Camp in 2003

Zhao Dewen suffered extreme pain. She was persecuted to death on June 3rd, 2003. In order to cover up the truth of this event, the forced labour camp sent a notice to Zhao Dewen's home saying she committed suicide. The police even fabricated the suicide scene. When her family helped to change her clothing, they found a big hole under her arm was still bleeding. Her back was black. Her private part was still bleeding.
  • Some Thoughts on the CCP's Bloody Persecution in Concentration Camps

    I was shocked after reading reports that exposed those Chinese Communist Party (CCP) agents who were harvesting organs from living Falun Dafa practitioners at the Sujiatun Concentration Camp in Shenyang. Although I was shocked, these findings came as no surprise. In 2002, when I was unconstitutionally detained in the so-called "Legal Education Programme" (a brainwashing centre) I heard from the doctors there about harvesting human organs and some other horrible stories. I didn't pay too much attention to these stories then. Based on the doctors' discussions and on those from the "helping and educating" people, I could see that the CCP is capable of doing anything during this persecution of practitioners who firmly believe in Dafa.

At Changsha City Detention Centre, Gao went on a hunger strike to protest her detainment. Gao Hui's five-year-old has become very unhappy and withdrawn since his mother's arrest.

Owing to the long-term persecution, Ms. Sun's health sharply deteriorated, and she couldn't complete the overloaded work quota assigned by the prison authorities. Guards frequently tried to force her to finish the quota by using electric baton shocks or by making her squat down. Criminal inmates also beat her. Under intense physical and psychological pressure, Ms. Sun Suzhen passed away on March 25th, 2005.

  • Xicheng Detention Centre in Beijing Secretly Relocated Practitioners in 2001

    "In 2001 thousands of practitioners were being arrested every day and were detained in all the detention centres in the Beijing area. Most of the practitioners did not reveal their names or addresses, and each of them was given a number. Military doctors came every day to run physical tests, measure blood pressure, and carry out force-feedings. Every few days, there would be a group of very firm and healthy practitioners being secretly relocated. We were told that they were sent to the Northwestern area for tree planting and "re-education," and yet, once they were gone, there was no more news about them, dead or alive."
  • Masanjia Forced Labour Camp Deceives Reporters

    "When I read the article "Comments on the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Response to the Sujiatun Concentration Camp" on Clearwisdom.net, I recalled a fact on how the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp deceived reporters. In March 2001, the camp authorities tensed up. Besides the routine forced labour, some detainees were designated to do sanitation work. All of the tabulations displayed in the corridor to assess Falun Gong practitioners were removed, and the entertainment facilities like volleyball, skipping rope and poker were showcased. An insider disclosed that some reporters would come after the "two conferences.""
