2007-04-24In February 2001, Ms. Zhu Guilin was arrested at home and taken to a detention centre by the 610 Office. She held a hunger strike to protest her unjust detainment and persecution. After her initial detainment, Ms. Zhu was sent to the Psychiatric Section of the Shimen City People's Hospital and injected with unknown nerve-damaging drugs. As a result, she displayed symptoms of dementia and she could not sit or stand. On October 8th, 2004, Ms. Zhu Guilin was arrested again and was sentenced to a two-and-a-half-year-term in the Baimalong Forced Labour Camp. She held a hunger strike from January to March 2007, and was brutally force-fed and injected with unknown drugs many times. The Baimalong Forced Labour Camp still refuses to release Zhu Guilin. -
Cruel Abuse at Gaoyang Forced Labour Camp in Hebei Province - Beatings and Electric Shock Torture
2007-04-22At the end of 2002, when I was detained at Kaiping Labour Camp, I met a female practitioner who had been transferred from Gaoyang Labour Camp. Her hair was cut extremely short by camp authorities, even shorter than a man's short hairstyle. She was timid and anxious, watching everyone cautiously and distrustfully. She didn't address anyone speaking to her directly. It could be clearly seen that she has been beaten and tortured. When she took a shower, I saw she had large areas of bruises on her body. They clamped electrodes from a field-radio generator to her toes and shocked her internal organs so fiercely that her vital organs felt unbearable pain. -
Ghastly and Terrifying Shijiazhuang City Forced Labour Camp in Hebei Province
2007-04-22I was sentenced to three years of forced labour in November 2000 for distributing leaflets exposing the persecution. Once, late at night, I was awakened and taken to an office. They pulled off my trousers and started to beat my buttocks with rubber sticks. When they finished, they called for another practitioner. One by one we all suffered brutal beatings. When we were sent back, we couldn't lay on our backs to sleep at all. All practitioners in our cell suffered beatings. Then they beat the practitioners in other cells. A few days later, when we took showers, every practitioners' buttocks were covered with dark purple bruises, which frightened the other inmates and made them feel sympathy for us. -
The Crimes Committed in Wangcun Forced Labour Camp in Zibo City, Shandong Province
2007-04-21Captain Zheng Wanxin once tortured practitioners by whipping them, abusing them, lying to them and humiliating them. He told steadfast practitioners, “I won't let you eat and instead you will be force-fed.” He threatened practitioners who were tortured badly and in serious condition by spreading the words, “Take them to the bottom of a mountain, dig a hole and bury them!” Administrator Luo Guangrong and Deputy Captain Sun Fengjun hung practitioner Mr. Xu Qiuyun in the air, brutally beat him and shocked him with electric batons for several hours, until they got too tired and were hardly able to catch their breath. Guard Zhang Yuhua had beaten practitioner Mr. Wang Weigao so badly that Mr. Wang could not talk, walk, or take care of himself, and felt chest pain and as if cold air were coming out of his body. -
The Qianjin Forced Labour Camp in Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province Hides Continuing Persecution of Dafa Practitioners
2007-04-21Guard Zhang Bo brings to Qianjin the persecution methods used in the Wanjia Forced Labour Camp. Guards force Dafa practitioners to swear at Teacher [Teacher Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa] and Dafa every morning. They incite criminal prisoners to persecute practitioners. They also force Dafa practitioners to slander Teacher and Dafa under oath. If a practitioner does not swear an oath or her voice is too low, the guards will try to force her to do so loudly. Otherwise, the prisoners will not be dismissed or not be allowed to sleep. Often all members of the group will be physically punished, including the criminals. The guards aim to create hatred in the criminals towards practitioners. -
Practitioners Forced to Have Blood Tests at Jiangxi Province Women's Forced Labour Camp
2007-04-19All practitioners sent to the Jiangxi Province Women's Forced Labour Camp in Qingyunpu District had a blood test. The guards used other inmates to force Falun Dafa practitioners to give blood. Due to the unprofessional nature of the blood tests, after taking a blood sample, an inmate who was a drug addict became infected with AIDS. The guards from the labour camp knew this fact but hid the truth. They forced this inmate to do labour and to serve as a “monitor” to watch the practitioners. -
Ms. Yang Xiaolan from Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province Inhumanly Tortured for the Past Seven Years

When she was detained in the Sunde City Qinliu Detention Centre, she keep doing the exercises. The guards handcuffed her and attached a straight metal rod onto both of her legs for one week, causing her to not be able to bend her legs or relax while sleeping. She was in tremendous pain. Ms. Yang went on hunger strike to protest this treatment. The guards pressed her down, tied her up with rope, and then had an inexperienced nurse insert a tube to force-feed her. Ms. Yang was screaming from pain, and her blood flowed like running water. -
The Persecution I Experienced Over the Past Seven Years at the Hands of the Chinese Communist Party
2007-04-17The past is almost too painful to recall, yet it is so vivid, as if it just took place yesterday. Guard Wang Xiaofeng in Masanjia Forced Labour Camp threatened me. He said, "You cannot practise Falun Gong anymore; if you do, I'll teach you a good lesson!" I refused to comply, and he told me to go to the ground floor and handcuffed me to a heating pipe. He gagged me with a cleaning rag and taped my mouth shut. Then he proceeded to shock me with high-voltage electric batons. Soon my hands bled while he kept accusing me of making trouble. My blood stuck to the electric baton. He removed the tape from my mouth and began shocking my mouth. My lips doubled in size, and I could barely open my mouth. He sent me to solitary confinement cell. It was very cold that winter. They opened all of the doors and windows to freeze us. -
Ms. Sun Chongzhen Exposes the Persecution She Suffered in Jinan City Women's Forced Labour Camp
2007-04-17While I was informing people about the true nature of Falun Gong I was reported and arrested. I was sent to Jinan City Women's Forced Labour Camp on August 1st, 2003 and suffered three years of persecution. The guards locked me in a small cell every day and forbade me to meet anyone. They forced me to watch TV programmes slandering Dafa. They found some former practitioners who had gone against Dafa to tell me lies. Guards wrote a "guarantee statement to stop practising" for me attempted to force me to sign and fingerprint it. I didn't follow their orders. A group of guards then held me down. Some of them pulled my hands to put my fingerprint on the statement. After that, they forced me to do work for at least 12 hours per day. Sometimes, they made me work overtime, until 1:00 or 2:00 a.m. -
Over 260 Falun Gong Practitioners Imprisoned at Wangcun Forced Labour Camp in Shandong Province
2007-04-14Guard Luo Guangrong, 42-year-old, is an instructor of Division Eight and also one of the most vicious guards. He often roars in meetings, saying that others must do whatever he has told them to do, even if the thing he was demanding was wrong. He often handcuffs Falun Gong practitioners to the toilet window and doesn't allow them to sleep. Sometimes, he punishes practitioners by making them sit in the hallway, facing the wall, until midnight after a long day of labour. -
Ms. Yu Xianna Suffers Brutal Persecution in Wanjia Forced Labour Camp in Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province
2007-04-13In February 2006, practitioner Ms. Yu Xianna was tied up and tortured after refusing to write the "three statements" at the Wanjia Forced Labour Camp. Team leader Guo Qiuli tied Ms. Yu's hands behind her back with ropes. Then she was hung up by the rope on a metal bar in the storage room with both legs approximately half a metre above the ground. On the night of February 9th, Ms. Yu declared all her so-called "comments and opinions," spoken or written, to be null and void. As a result, guard Cong Zhili called her to the office and beat her up brutally. Cong used her fists to thump Ms. Yu's head; Yu's vision immediately blurred and she almost fainted. Cong then beat Ms. Yu's face using her hands. Cong's hands were numb, painful, and shaking uncontrollably when she finally stopped the beating. Then she forced Ms. Yu to stand and did not allow her to sleep. -
Recently Learned Facts of Persecution at Baoding Forced Labour Camp in Hebei Province
2007-04-12There was an incident in 2005, where the labour camp was confronting an "important investigation." Guards said that to deal with the investigation would take lots of money. But the labour camp was short of money at the time. In order to solve the problem, they took 200,000 yuan from the "persecuting Falun Gong fund." We have no idea how much this fund really has, but certainly it wouldn't be a small amount. Guards were heard saying that the 610 Office had a special fund for the "persecuting Falun Gong team," but the fund assigned to slave-labour production was comparatively much smaller, only ten thousand yuan in 2004 for a company detaining more than 50 practitioners. This means that guards could torture practitioners as much as they'd like without worrying about hurting them so much that the quota for slave-labour production could not be met. -

Her main tactics are to extend working hours, increase workloads and falsify accounting statements to make profits. In addition to her wages, her extra income in 2006 alone amounted to several hundred thousand yuan. -
