He has cigarettes burns on his neck and a hole in his forehead.

    One day it became known that an order from a higher authority was issued to immediately "transform" the practitioners within several hours, no matter what methods were used. No one was permitted to question this demand, which exerted pressure on those labour camp officials and gave them an excuse to do whatever they wanted. Later, the leaders of all the prisoners who were grouped in different teams in the camp were called in and promised to have their prison terms shortened if they had outstanding "success."
  • Exposing the Lies in the TV Series "Life is Innocent" With A Dafa Practitioner's Own Experiences in the Xin'an Labour Camp

    Practitioners had to do a large amount of work and had to meet a quota, even if it meant staying up all night. The practitioners were forced to make toys including stuffed rabbits for the Nestle Company, cloth slippers, knit sweaters, gloves, and mats for export. We were forced to make disposable chopsticks while sitting on our bed and on the floor, as well as uniforms for labour camp detainees. The authorities even forced us to dig a two-meter's deep foundation for a conference hall.
  • Three Deaths and Countless Dafa Practitioners Viciously Tortured in Tianjin Forced Labour Camps

    In China, the police who persecuted Falun Gong practitioners all know that under the order of their supervisors, no means are too extreme in treating Falun Gong practitioners. In March 2003, this labour camp set up a "forced transformation class". They recruited the most vicious policemen and drug-addict inmates into this class, and used various means to torture Dafa practitioners in addition to not allowing them any sleep and toilet visits.
  • The Torture Female Dafa Practitioner Suffered in the Chongqing City Women's Labour Camp

    Seeing that I was so determined to retain my personal belief, they forced me to perform hard labour.

  • Forced Labour Camp Uses Depraved Means to Persecute Dafa Practitioner

    The policemen instructed junkies to administer beatings to him and even connived with them to force-feed Huang Shaiowei soap water through his mouth and nose in order to make him write the so-called statement of "guarantee of transformation." When Huang remained unaffected and protested the treatment the two policemen said, "You want to cultivate, so we'll let you suffer."
  • Atrocities at the Daqing Forced Labour Camp

    The Superintendent of the labour camp, Ying Chengli, still thinks Wang Yongxiang is not vicious enough.

If there is anyone who is not convinced, I will beat him and make him look for his teeth!"
  • Diabolical Deeds Against Dafa Practitioners in Jiamusi Forced Labour Camp

    A group of police took the fiercest criminal from the ninth team with them and dragged those practitioners towards the dorm. They beat practitioners on the way and eventually got into a small room, where they hit practitioners' faces with the soles of their shoes. After they got tired from beating the practitioners, they left with wild laughter. The eight practitioners' faces were all swollen from the beating. Such a heart-rendering sight!
  • Chilling Account of Violence at Heizuizi Women's Forced Labour Camp

    One day, an eighteen or nineteen year-old woman was brought into the centre and charged with the crime of being a "Falun Gong thief." Many felt the charge seemed strange and it was later discovered that the police caught her after she stole a mobile phone. During her confession they threatened her: "You will be charged seriously if you don't say that you are a thief for Falun Gong." The policemen's purpose was that they wanted to blame her crime on Falun Gong so that they could get promoted and receive cash awards.
  • Disgusting Torture Methods Used by Police at the Henan Labour Camp

    During the year 2002, they launched four large-scale persecution campaigns against determined Falun Gong practitioners.

  • Labour Camp Hang Falun Gong Practitioners from Trees and Force-Feed Them Concentrated Saline Solution

    Even worse, they forced us to live in a "fungus room." More than 10 Dafa practitioners were asked to live in a room where red, green, yellow and white long hairy fungus were everywhere, including on the ceiling, walls and ground. The room was not disinfected. We were not allowed to take a bath. It was spring. After a month, everybody living in this room developed different kinds of lumps on their bodies. Even the doctors didn't know what those were.
  • Police Brutalities at the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp

    They forced me to take off my clothes and socks, and shocked my entire body with electric batons. They also forced another practitioner to watch.

Even now, I still carry the scar from the kicking I received.
  • The Inside Story of Persecution Against Falun Gong Practitioners Detained in Hulan Prison

    The police and head prisoners conspired. They agreed if the prisoners were successful in getting a practitioner to renounce his or her belief, they would be given credits and the prisoners would receive sentence reductions. They also implied that the prisoners could use any means to achieve results with the practitioners. If the prisoners were not successful in obtaining renunciations from the practitioners, they were to receive punishment, including reduction in gained points.
  • Facts of the Persecution of Practitioners in the Beijing Women's Labour Camp

    During 2001 and 2002, policemen arrested practitioners on a mass scale, regardless of age, health, or time of day or night. Some practitioners with symptoms of heart disease and blood pressure over 200 were taken away at will and put into labour camps. According to the law, people with serious health conditions cannot be sentenced to labour camps, but these labour camps were forced to accept them all. One practitioner who was paralysed from the waist down after an accident was sent straight to the Tiantanghe Hospital in Daxing District, where she was tortured.
