    Both her hands and feet were tied, and she was forced to continue to listen to the lies of former practitioners who had been brainwashed. She suffered this way for several days and nights; as soon as she closed her eyes, several of them would push her to awaken her, and shout, "Do not sleep, listen carefully!" When Liu Yuzhi closed her eyes, they would pour cold water on her. They did not untie her until they had tortured her for over five hours, but then they forced her to squat again.

  • Non-Practitioner Exposes the Violent Torture of Falun Dafa Practitioners at the Bolou Forced Labour Camp

    The actions of Falun Gong practitioners around me have made me doubt the reports on television. I now know what real Falun Gong practitioners are like.

I truly feel perplexed and worried about this political movement to persecute Falun Gong practitioners.
