Mr. Zhang Jieping, 56, Dies as a Result of Persecution at the Baihelin Detention Centre in Chongqing City
2006-09-18
On the morning of August 29th, Mr. Zhang's son was called into the detention centre and saw his father at the facility clinic. A nearly unrecognisable Zhang Jieping, all skin and bones, was unable to speak and needed constant infusions. Blood was visible in his urine led out through a tube. On the same day, while wearing shackles around his ankles, he was first sent to the No.1 People's Hospital in Shapingba District for emergency treatment and then transferred to Shapingba District Hospital. Zhang died on the morning of September 5th. -
Persecution in Prisons and Labour Camps in Hebei Province
2006-09-18In October 2000, a group of Falun Dafa practitioners from all parts of Hebei Province were sent to the Kaiping Labour Camp. There was a shortage of cells, so bungalows with brick beds were built in the men’s division, located behind the women's division. A dozen practitioners slept on one large brick bed. We could only sleep on our sides. A wall separates the right side of the bungalow from a large classroom on the left where Falun Gong practitioners are subjected to brainwashing and torture. A solitary confinement cell is in the centre. -
Practitioners' Families are Persecuted at the Henan Provincial Women's Forced Labour Camp on Family Visit Days
2006-09-14Henan Provincial Women's Forced Labour Camp not only persecutes unlawfully detained Falun Gong practitioners but also their families, especially during the day of interview. When they arrived at the door, the family was asked to sign a statement. The statement consisted of two paragraphs: the first paragraph contained malicious words that insulted and cursed the Teacher of Falun Gong, and the second paragraph acknowledged that the forced labour and brainwashing of Falun Gong practitioners is legal action and is "saving" Falun Gong practitioners. Any applicant who refused to sign the statement would be refused permission to see his or her detained family member. -
Seven Electric Batons Used to Shock One Practitioner in the Zibo Forced Labour Camp
2006-09-09The officials worked together to persecute the practitioners by detaining them individually and in secret. They used many vicious tortures. Every practitioner suffered from electric shock torture to varying degrees, the worst example was using seven electric batons to shock one practitioner. They also put a motorcycle helmet on a practitioner's head, then turned on the speaker in the helmet to the highest volume broadcasting a recording that slandered Dafa. This torture damaged the practitioners' nervous system. The torturers took turns blowing cigarette smoke into the helmet to make the practitioners cry and cough. They tied practitioners up with a belt so tightly that the person could not breathe and was almost in shock. -

2006-09-06Ms. Lin Yanmei, a practitioner was arrested by Dianbai County Police Department 610 National Security Brigade. She has been in Guangdong Sanshui Women's Labour Camp for persecution for more than a year. The labour camp stealthily put unknown drugs in her food. At present, Ms. Lin's reactions are slow and she is depressed. Ms. Lin Yanmei's family members are extremely worried about her safety. -
Ding Haiqing's Suffering at Heizuizi Women's Forced Labour Camp in Changchun City
2006-09-05Guards used all kinds of cruel tactics to make Ms Ding Haiqing "transform," but to no avail. Ding Haiqing remained firm in her belief in Dafa. Therefore, Hou Zhihong beat her cruelly. The tortures she suffered included the "flying the airplane" and touching the head to the feet. When she could not reach that position, the guards kicked her, tortured her with electric batons, stabbed her with nails, and hit her hands against the windowsill, injuring her hands. She also suffered sleep deprivation if she did not finish what she was told to write. They forced her to stand for 17 hours (from 7 a.m. to midnight) daily without moving. -
Personal Testimony Regarding Persecution in Huadian City and at Heizuizi Labour Camp
2006-09-03We experienced the most agonising fourteen days of suffering from various tortures there. That same afternoon and the entire evening of our arrival at the detention centre, the guards forbade us from eating and sleeping. It was during the chill of winter. No one in the detention centre provided us with anything to keep out the cold. Several criminals who sympathised with Dafa practitioners shared their bedding. The food at that detention centre was fit only for animals. We were subjected to interrogation at the detention centre, and the guards attempted to force us to provide our fingerprints. Our fingers were broken but they failed. -
Ms. Wang Bing Spits Up Blood After Being Force-Fed at the Heizuizi Forced Labour Camp
2006-09-01Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Wang Bing is detained at the Heizuizi Forced Labour Camp. Inhumane force-feeding administered by police guards has severely damaged Ms. Wang's stomach, causing her to spit up a large amount of blood. A policeman forced Ms. Wang to write the "three statements". He forbade her from sleeping, tied her onto a death bed, and tortured her, causing terrible chest pain. Ms. Wang frequently vomited blood and her body is currently very weak. -
Details of the Brutal Torture I Received at Zhongba Forced Labour Camp in Guizhou
2006-08-30I was detained at Zhongba Forced Labour Camp in Guizhou from January 9th, 2003, to July 14th, 2005. During that time, I was brutally tortured by the camp guards. Their methods of torturing are extremely brutal. The following are examples: They kicked my face with the bottoms of their shoes; they hit me until I fell to the ground and then stepped on me. After I got up, they hit and kicked me until I fell again; they twisted my hands backward. Two persons, one at each side, blocked my feet with theirs. Then, they suddenly pressed on my back and pushed me to the ground. My head hit the ground and bled; they used cigarette butts to burn my palms, creating blisters. -
When the First Women’s Labour Camp in Shandong Province Failed to Destroy a Practitioner's Conscience, They Subjected Her to Severe Torture
2006-08-27The labour camp cruelly tortured a practitioner by locking her in a "small cell" and depriving her of sleep for 13 days. The cell was no more than one metre wide and four to five meters long. The cell never received any sunlight and was unheated. The cell was so cold that one could suffer frostbite in the feet despite wearing very thick shoes, and one would need to wear three winter coats to stay even somewhat warm. One had to defecate and urinate in the cell. This caused the air inside the cell to be extremely filthy and foul. This practitioner was tortured in the cell for 13 days during the coldest part of winter. -
The Persecution I Experienced and Witnessed at Masanjia Forced Labour Camp
2006-08-26The team leader bound my legs with a rope. Zhang Chunguang tried to hold me still by planting her feet on my legs and forcibly gave me an injection. Like a beast, she beat prisoners at will. In mid-winter, she stripped me of my insulated coat and hung it on a line, and for two days in a row forced me to stand in the cold outside the room. She humiliated me by taking pictures of me holding a black carton. One time my required fitness exercise movements were not quite up to par, so I was dragged into an open area and savagely beaten by police officers. -
Brutal Persecutions in Kaiping Forced Labour Camp
2006-08-25A building in the camp was built for the purpose of jailing Falun Gong practitioners. On one occasion, camp director, about twenty male guards, and the female guards in charge of practitioners brought a bag of "constraining belts," a bag of handcuffs, and electric batons to the building. They rushed into several rooms, tried to pull practitioners out of their rooms, and beat and cursed them. When we heard the sounds of beating, cursing, and electric shocks from other rooms, we understood that the practitioners in the other rooms were being seriously beaten again. The sounds of crying, screaming and cursing all mixed together. Practitioners were beaten so that their heads were cut and bloody. Blood splattered all over the hallway and in the rooms. -
The Humiliation and Suffering I Endured During My Detention in Beijing's Tuanhe Forced Labour Camp
2006-08-24I started practising Falun Dafa in 1996, and benefited physically and mentally from the practice. I held the position of manager at a well-known foreign company in Beijing prior to the regime's ban of Falun Dafa. I worked hard and my achievements were outstanding. My superiors had great trust in me. Later, during the persecution against Dafa practitioners, my company forced me to resign due to pressure from the Communist regime. The police arrested me five times because I appealed for Dafa, did the Falun Gong exercises in public and exposed the persecution. My most traumatic incidents took place after the last arrest. My experiences are a demonstration of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) fanatic wickedness and evilness. -
Brutal Torture in Wangcun Women's Forced Labour Camp
2006-08-19I was sentenced to a 2-year term of forced labour and sent to Wangcun Women's Forced Labour Camp in Shandong Province. A guard said, "Don't you want to practise? I will let you completely enjoy it. You have to enjoy it no matter what." She ordered collaborators to forcefully put my legs in the full lotus position and bind them with rope. They also twisted and tied my arms behind my back. It felt so painful that I could not help crying. They stuffed my mouth with a dirty rag and sealed my mouth with transparent tape. I was tortured in this way for two days. Then they forced me not to sleep for six days and nights. Yan Shuming beat me whenever my eyes closed. In this way, they did not allow me to sleep for six days straight. -
Recollections of Ms Yu Lianchun and Her Persecution Death at Jinan Women's Forced Labour Camp
2006-08-18I was very shocked a few days ago when I read the news on the Internet that Ms Yu Lianchun had been persecuted to death. In September 2000, when I was imprisoned at the First Women's Labour Camp Yu Lianchun was transferred to the Division where I was held. She looked very young even though she was nearly fifty years old. I was told that she was subjected to a lot of torture while she was at the First Division. She was beaten many times by the police and inmates because she refused to give up practising Falun Gong. She was only allowed to sleep four hours per day, and was not allowed to sleep until everyone else was asleep. She had to begin work at the warehouse before everyone else got up. She was forced to attend brainwashing classes and she received unceasing threats every day. She became absent-minded, had dull vision, and sometimes talked to herself.
