Systematic Brainwashing of Practitioners: Isolation, Bombardment of Lies, and Physical Abuse
2014-09-30
The prison developed a systematic approach to conduct brainwashing of practitioners in its attempt to make us renounce our belief in Falun Gong. Within each ward, the practitioners were placed in separate cells and not allowed to see one another. Under isolation, we were bombarded day in and day out with various materials vilifying Falun Gong. Chen forced us to read Party propaganda and watch videos slandering Falun Gong, commit disrespectful acts against Falun Gong and its founder, and write “thought reports” renouncing our beliefs. Each practitioner must also pass frequent “tests” to demonstrate parting ways with Falun Gong. Those who failed the tests were subjected to more coercive brainwashing, mental and/or physical abuse. -
Torture Methods: Police and Prison Guards Use a Wide Variety of Everyday Objects to Torture Falun Gong Practitioners
2014-09-30The prison guards and police officers frequently torture their victims in ways that produce the most pain, but leave the least visible injury, hoping that by doing so they can escape responsibility by “hiding the evidence”. The resulting injuries are sometimes so severe that practitioners are disabled or even die. Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Dong Fengshan was beaten to death just six days after he was admitted to Siping Prison, Jilin Province. When he was unable to stand up after a brutal beating, a guard drove a sharp metal shovel into his chest, and he died instantly. -

Tragic Events Unfold after Brutal Prison Beating
2014-09-21In a tragic sequence of events, prison guard Lin Danrui brutally beat Falun Gong practitioner Han Haiming at Jinzhong Prison in Shanxi Province on April 4th, 2014. Mr. Han died from his injuries four days later. Falun Gong is rooted in traditional Chinese culture, which believes that those who persecute genuine cultivators or religious believers are committing huge crimes, even worse than regular crimes. Chinese people still have a sense that those who commit bad deeds will meet with consequences in the form of retribution, not only to themselves, but possibly also to their families. A few months after Mr. Han's death, the daughter of prison guard Lin Danrui, the main perpetrator in this incident, was killed in a car accident. -

At Masanjia Forced Labour Camp, “Sujiatun” Was Used as an Euphemism for Organ Harvesting
2014-09-14The Masanjia Forced Labour Camp in Liaoning gained international notoriety due to an SOS letter found in a Halloween decoration kit purchased by a woman in Oregon, US, in 2011. The labour camp was closed at the end of 2013. At an open house at the Camp in July 2001, a reporter asked a detained Falun Gong practitioner: “Will you be released if you don't transform?” The practitioner answered: “I believe justice will prevail one day and I will go back home.” Furious at the practitioner's answer, a guard said to him in front of the visitors: “You are good as dead, just wait till you get sent to Sujiatun!” Sujiatun, in Shenyang City, harboured a secret concentration camp where Falun Gong practitioners' organs were removed while they were still alive. -
