• Ms Wang Dandan Suffers Inhuman Persecution

  2005-09-17

A few days later, the guards showed their true faces. They beat me whenever they saw me meditating. They handcuffed me to a bed so that I could not stand up or squat down, and I had to stay on my knees for seven days and nights. My knees and wrists were broken, and my wrists were burned."

  Ms. Zhao Shuyun was imprisoned in the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp in Liaoning Province because she practises Falun Dafa.

• An Account of the Inhuman Torture I Suffered at the Hands of Police in Dalian City

  2005-09-10
  "The policemen lit nylon ropes and allowed the flaming plastic to drip on my arms. My hands and arms were covered with blisters due to the burning, and many scars were left after the blisters were gone. During the daytime, they ordered eight people to beat me. They asked me whether I would continue to practise Falun Gong. I would say yes, and they would slap my face with the sole of a shoe. Every inch of my body had been struck at some point. When the policemen saw that I was not afraid of death, and that they could never "transform" me, they gave up. On January 26th 2005, I finally went back home."

• My Personal Experiences with 20 Torture Methods -- Changlinzi Forced Labour Camp Treats Human Life as Worthless

  2005-09-06
  "I was detained and brutally tortured in the 5th and 1st brigades at Changlinzi Forced Labour Camp. In the end, my heart disease recurred due to the persecution. Because the labour camp officials do not care about human life, they agreed to release me only after two more deaths were registered. After two more deaths they would have reached their allowable quota for deaths, and to avoid having to answer for my death, they said they would release me. I experienced 20 different torture methods in the Camp."

  2005-09-06
  "I was arrested and held at the Xishanping Forced Labour Camp for two years and was subjected to 26 different kinds of torture: I was tied up. The guard then elbowed my spine with brute force and punched my chest heavily with his fists. I had to stand in the military posture, sit upright and march using three different kinds of steps; I was exposed to mosquitoes, was forced to carry sandbags, stand against a wall, run on the drill ground, do push-ups, jump like a frog, walk like a duck and stand in sweltering heat; the perpetrators choked me and hit my face until my front teeth were broken; they force-fed me, pulled my ears, hit and broke my nose; they hit me with spiked clubs and jammed their knees into my sides; they starved me and forced me to squat. I was emaciated and was force-fed three times (twice the force-feeding caused hemorrhaging and I was rushed to the Accident and Emergency). I was on the brink of death. More than 50 different perpetrators personally tortured me."

  2005-09-03
  45-year-old Ms Liu Yaokun was arrested by three policemen in 2003, and then sent to a labour camp. Police guards brutally tortured Ms. Liu in Jiamusi Forced Labour Camp both physically and mentally. Policemen beat her, kicked her lower body, and twisted her neck until Ms. Liu fainted. They then left her alone in a cold room trapped in the position of "big back-cuffing." Later, they chained her onto the bed frame. Her body was directly exposed to the cold floor for about 40 minutes. At 8 o'clock when the shift changed, the guards found that her heartbeat was unusual, so they released her from the "big back-cuffing," but still left both of her hands cuffed onto the bed frame. As a result, she can no longer take care of herself, but she is still detained in the labour camp.
