The Brutal Means Used by Wanjia Forced Labour Camp to Torture Falun Dafa Practitioners
2004-11-03
Torture method: The two arms are cuffed to the upper portions of two separated bunk beds. Then four people pull the two beds apart. This stretches the body of the person and results in horrible shrieks from pain as his internal organs are stressed. To prevent the victim from shouting out, guards seal the mouth with tape and then repeatedly pull the beds apart. -
How Changlinzi Forced Labour Camp in Harbin City Persecutes Falun Gong Practitioners
2004-11-01
Torture method: Violently Beating Practitioners with Stools or Benches: Falun Gong practitioners were forced to squat on the floor with their hands behind their back. Prisoners and policemen then used stools or benches to beat them violently on the head and the back. If the practitioners did not obey them, they would be tortured with even more cruel methods. -
The Mental and Physical Torture of Falun Dafa Practitioners by Guards at Beijing's Tuanhe Forced Labour Camp
2004-10-31
Tuanhe Forced Labour Camp used a technique called "sitting facing the wall" to physically and mentally torture practitioners. "Sitting facing the wall" requires practitioners to sit absolutely straight with their faces towards the wall, their knees against the wall, and their eyes only a few inches away from the wall. They must not move or close their eyes or glance sideways. "Sitting facing the wall" is a physical punishment and mental torment for practitioners. Inmates monitor the practitioners. -
The Life of Falun Dafa Practitioners in the Liaoyang Forced Labour Camp: Torture and Excessive Workloads, but Some Guards Understand the Truth
2004-10-25"On January 29, 2004, I was transferred from Tieling Forced Labour Camp to Liaoyang Forced Labour Camp, where the persecutors continued to torture me. Right after I arrived, Section Head Zou read through every detained practitioner's file and came up with an individual torture plan for each practitioner. For the female practitioners, the perpetrators used high-voltage electric batons to shock them, forced them to stay awake for long periods of time, and forced them to perform heavy physical labour for over 20 hours a day. This kind of abuse lasted for more than 8 months." -
The Brutal Torture Methods at the Wangcun Forced Labour Camp in Shandong Province (Photos)
2004-10-25The guards in Wangcun Forced Labour Camp cruelly tortured Li Deshan, a practitioner, because he would not give up practising Falun Gong. His hands were handcuffed to one bed and his feet to another bed. Then the beds were pulled in opposite directions. The pain was terrible and his body was stretched to the breaking point. Li Deshan died about a year later in August 2002. His death came as a result of these inhuman tortures. He suffered long-term sleep deprivation, brutal beatings, being hung up and beaten, public humiliation, and being force-fed with water and alcohol. -

My Experience Being Tortured in Miyun Prison, Heizuizi Forced Labour Camp and the Jilin Public Security Hospital (Photos)
2004-10-16On October 25, 1999, I was abducted for going to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa and tell the government the truth about Falun Dafa. I was taken to Miyun Prison in Beijing City. Police held me down to the ground and put their hand-made handcuffs and shackles on me, weighing forty pounds. The handcuffs and shackles deeply cut into my flesh; my feet were badly mangled. Even so, they did not remove the handcuffs and shackles for six days. Later I was detained in Heizuizi Forced Labour Camp where I was brutally shocked with electric batons for three hours. In the evenings, my body and face ached as if they were burning. -

Ms. Wu Guifang's Account of the Suffering She Endured in Gaoyang Forced Labour Camp
2004-10-15Ms. Wu Guifang, in her 50's, is from Hebei Province. She was abducted and twice taken to the Gaoyang Forced Labour Camp, where she experienced extremely cruel torture and brainwashing. In mid-August of 2004, she was tortured to the brink of death. Afraid of being held responsible, the labour camp authorities released her on medical parole. The two years of torture turned her into skin and bones. She was extremely weak and pale. She appears to be a different person compared to two years ago, when she was a healthy woman. Many people cannot even recognize her anymore. -

Ms. Wang Fang lived in Hailin City, Heilongjiang Province. She was first tortured in Harbin City Wanjia Forced Labour Camp, and the labour camp only released her when she was close to death. Less than two months after returning home, on September 24, 2004, she passed away. -
The Severe Torture I Suffered in the Chaoyanggou Forced Labour Camp (Photos)
2004-10-14"This is what happened to me because of Jiang Zemin's ruling that, "Killing a practitioner is nothing and will be called as suicide." My story is only one of many. In China, many more have suffered even more severely. Changchun City's Chaoyanggou Forced Labour Camp enforcers alone have the deaths of 18 practitioners on their hands. Many more are still suffering from unbelievably savage torture." -
A Former Prison Guard's Story (Part 3)
2004-10-11"Facing violence and persecution, I passed through the crisis clear-headedly and reasonably thanks to my firm belief in Falun Dafa. On Oct. 18, 2000 I was illegally jailed in Heizuizi Women's Forced Labour Camp in Changchun City, where I suffered more brutal psychological and physical persecution. It was said that more than 2000 Falun Dafa practitioners were detained there at that time." -

I Was Forced to Abort My Five Month Pregnancy While Detained in a Labour Camp
2004-10-07"My name is Liu Zhiping. I'm 32 years old. Because I appealed for Falun Gong, in early 2000 I was sent to the Women's Forced Labour Camp in Yunnan Province. In August 2000 I was five months pregnant. Many prison guards told me that I qualified to be bailed out for medical treatment. Later I heard a leader had said viciously, "Without her reforming, there is no way for her to get out of here." I was sent to a hospital and injected with abortion medicine. Tragically, I lost the baby." -
Masanjia Forced Labour Camp Subjects Practitioners to Slave Labour (Photo)
2004-10-07Falun Gong practitioners were driven like slaves at the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, to make handcrafts.
