Ruthless Torture of Falun Dafa Practitioners in Banqiao Forced Labour Camp
2003-11-17
Mr. Zhang Wensheng was also forcibly held in a brainwashing class for several days. Criminal inmates kept his eyes open with a match so that he was unable to blink. He was continuously beaten in an attempt to force him to swear never to practise again. His body was swollen and he could not walk. He had to be helped to the bathroom. Under such pressure, he was forced to recant his belief. He was beaten again before an official meeting designed to further humiliate and reinforce that the practitioners had recanted their belief. On September 10th, Zhang Wensheng refused to write a summary of serving his terms and was tortured further and deprived of sleeping. -
Cases of Criminal Persecution in Huludao City Labour Camp
2003-11-17Due to the torture, Mr. Wu was extremely weak and did not have even enough strength to walk. In December, when he was on the verge of death, he was sent to a hospital.

Brutal Brainwashing in Wuhan Women's Prison
2003-11-17Two prisoners pressed her down and another one squatted behind her back, grabbing her hair and pulling it down, in order to take the photo by force. Because she refused to recite the prison rules, she was tortured with the method of "digging the wall" for two days. Since she was detained in the 4th Section of No.1 Division, she was often deprived of sleep and was not allowed to use the toilet, as a punishment for refusing to write statements renouncing and slandering Falun Gong. -
Three Years of Hardship and Torture Cannot Change Practitioners' Hearts
2003-11-16After ten days of this, they no longer asked me anything, but routinely tied me up very tightly as soon as I had finished working each day. When I was half-hung, there was no point of support for my whole body other than my tiptoes. This time, after tying me for several days, they said they would let me go to sleep as long as I did not awaken earlier than they did. One day, I was beaten just because I had gotten up before them to fold my blanket. Another time, because I had been caught talking, the person on duty and the prisoners stuffed a dirty rag in my mouth, sealed it with tape, then beat my face and mouth, which became red and swollen. The person on duty also threw some hard-soled boots at my head. -
Behind the Façade of the Staged Singing and Dancing in Henan's Shibalihe Forced Labour Camp Lies Savage Torture
2003-11-15The police at the labour camp seriously violate the law by opening and withholding practitioners' mail and packages that their families send. Practitioners do not have the freedom to correspond. They are not even allowed to wear watches. Practitioner Chen Yujing's family sent her a watch and other gifts, which were all withheld. The police can cancel practitioner's visiting hours at will, and visiting family members are turned away...On the day when the practitioners were locked up, viciously beaten and hemorrhaging from the savagery, in the courtyard, the labour camp criminals were made to sing and dance for the video taping of a sham happy scene for TV propaganda: showing the "tender loving nurturing" by the labour camp during the transformation of the practitioners, and the "wonderful life" the practitioners have while in the camp. -
Savage Torture in the Women's Team of Dalian Forced Labour Camp
2003-11-14There were 130 practitioners illegally detained in the women's team of Dalian Forced Labour Camp. From 5:00 in the morning until 8:00 in the evening, they were forced to perform slave labour every day. The Chinese law concerning forced labour stipulates that shifts cannot be more than 6 hours per day. At the same time, policemen there subjected practitioners to various types of savage torture in order to force the steadfast Dafa practitioners into giving up Falun Gong. -
Vile Torture Used on Dafa Practitioners on a Daily Basis in Dalian City Labour Camp
2003-11-13In the first few weeks in Dalian Labour Camp, the guards tried to destroy us with heavy labour. They ordered me to take rocks (picked out from the coal) back to the mine shaft. They required me to move 120 wagons full of rock each day and they said I had to run. I collapsed on the first day, because I was too weak, but I had to do the same heavy labour the next day. Sweat poured out of my body. I was covered with salt crystals from the sweat. I felt dizzy under the baking sun. But I tried to be strong and never lowered my head. -

Various Forms of Deception at the Changchun City Women's Labour Camp
2003-11-04"However, at the same time that the campfire party took place, those steadfast and unyielding Dafa practitioners were placed upon torture instruments, were forced to stand painfully, or were handcuffed within small dark cells and made to sit on the icy ground while hearing music that defamed Dafa."-- Author -
Evidence for the Lawsuit Against Jiang: My Experience in Beijing Forced Labour Camp (Part 4)
2003-10-26This persecution, that started more than 4 years ago, targets tens of millions of Falun Gong practitioners who practise "Truth, Compassion and Tolerance." It utilises all the apparatuses of the nation, and its viciousness is unprecedented and unimaginable. It is also a disgrace to the whole of mankind. I hope that courts in all countries will uphold justice, and charge Jiang for genocide , since he is the person who is most directly responsible for this state-run terrorism. By doing this, we can safeguard the dignity of the law and the justice of humankind. -

They also drilled into the chests of Mr. Liu Qinghua and Mr. Huang Yuedong, who remained firm in their beliefs despite the brutal and agonising torture. -
Brutal Torture Cases in Dalian Forced Labour Camp: Severe Sexual Abuse and Force-Feedings
2003-10-25If practitioners collapsed, the guards would bring pen and paper and ask the practitioners to write a so-called "promise letter" to give up Dafa. Some practitioners wrote the letter against their own will under such pressure. But once they realized what they had done, they wrote another letter to declare the previous letter null and void. The guards shouted that if the practitioners didn't write the "promise letter", they would remain in that bent-over position. That led to one practitioner's death and another being seriously injured. -

Inhuman Torture Methods Used to Persecute Falun Dafa Practitioners at Nanmusi Forced Labour Camp
2003-10-19The inmates would also starve practitioners and/or deny practitioners access to the washroom as a form of torture. They rationed their food, giving each of them only 100g of rice per day. In the morning, three practitioners were given only one small bun to divide amongst themselves, with half a bowl of rice soup. Lunch is a bowl of broth containing only a dozen or so grains of rice. It is the same for supper. Practitioners were forced to drink 5-7 cups of water daily, but were not allowed to go to the washroom. Even elderly practitioners in their 50s and 60s were not spared.
