Inside the Labour Camps

  • Police and Collaborators Commit Atrocities in Heizuizi Women's Forced Labour Camp

    It's truly sad that these collaborators, who were once kind and righteous Falun Gong practitioners, who believed in never fighting back when wronged or resorting to violence, had turned into cold-hearted henchmen that tortured, brainwashed, and "helped" the police to carry out the Jiang regime's persecution. This shows the extent of the viciousness of the hate-campaign against practitioners.
  • Ordeal Suffered by Dafa Practitioner in Tuanhe Forced Labour Camp

    Near the end of his sentence term in June, the policemen started their routine persecution methods. This process is used if a practitioner still has not given up his belief near the end of his or her sentence term. The labour camp would put more policemen in action to tie him up, strip off his clothes, cover his eyes, stuff his mouth and use several electric batons to repeatedly shock him for several days and nights.
  • The Darkness of Chaoyanggou and Weizigou Forced Labour Camps

    They use a mop handle, pickaxe handle, chair, fist and foot to beat Dafa practitioners. They kick at the centre of the one's chest causing partial lung collapse, which is extremely painful. They call this method the "suffocating heart kick." The insane police also grab a person's head and repeatedly slam it against a wall, calling it "going through the wall." There were many other torture methods, too many to list.
  • Female Practitioner in Grave Situation in Shijiazhuang Forced Labour Camp

    The callous Weishui Police Chief tortured her so badly that she remained unconscious for three days, lying on the cement floor..Officers from the Hongqi Street Police Station cruelly beat her to the point where she was beyond recognition. They transferred her to Yuqiang Police Station. The police had a hard time finding a detention centre that would take her because of her terrible condition.
  • Police Violation of the Law in Tuanhe Forced Labour Camp in Beijing

    Whilst atrocities continue, many new police, especially those who directly graduated from college, were very disturbed by the severe physical and mental tortures used against Falun Gong practitioners. They said, "If I were assigned to the Falun Gong brigade, I would resign." Some of the new police revolted against their vicious colleagues who beat up and retaliated against Dafa practitioners for their legal appeals.
  • Practitioners Cruelly Tortured in the Wuyuan Forced Labour Camp

    Zhang Ruitong's legs were broken; the nerves in his spinal cord and his internal organs were also severely injured. His whole body was paralyzed for nearly a month. Liang Baochi was also severely injured. The other five practitioners were covered with blood and their faces were beaten beyond recognition. It was simply horrific to look at them after the beatings.
  • Endless Persecution Suffered by Practitioner in Beijing's Tuanhe Forced Labour Camp

    One afternoon team leaders Gong and Yang Bin ordered Liu Litao, "Write a letter to your family and ask for 2,000 Yuan for force feeding. Also, you have to write the "four letters." When the practitioners refused the team leader threatened, "Think it over and write it. Otherwise, I'll shoot you to death." After a while, when seeing Liu Litao still would not write, he dragged Liu to see leader Yang, "We will wait for the car downstairs and drag him out to shoot him."
  • Dafa Practitioner Is Suffering From Brutal Persecution in Beijing’s Tuanhe Forced Labour Camp

    It was so humid and hot that it was very difficult for a person to breathe even for one minute, but Li Xupeng was forced to sit in the room for over ten hours. He was not allowed to stand up, walk, use a fan, or take a shower. After several days of the torture, Xupeng was physically exhausted, had serious symptoms of dehydration, and lost consciousness. The vicious police did not let him out, but instead they force-fed him with drugs, claiming he was ill.
  • A Human Tragedy: Supplementary Report on Heart-Breaking Torture That Led to Practitioner’s Mental Breakdown

    Even though Lin Chengtao barely survived the inhuman physical punishment and torture, the police continued to spare no effort to torture him mentally… They publicised a letter that his wife wrote from Tiantanghe Women's Labour Camp. After she was brainwashed, his wife actually suggested that the police in the Second Brigade torture Lin Chengtao with the same methods that the Tiantanghe Labour Camp used to violently "transform" her, such as shocking with electric batons, sleep deprivation, etc. Mr. Lin was deeply injured by this.
  • Fears For Safety of Professor Incarcerated in Anhui Women's Labour Camp (Photo)

    At the end of August 2002, the American Psychiatric Association held a press conference to officially request that the Jiang regime stop using the profession of psychiatry to persecute Falun Gong practitioners...The doctors from China who participated in the conference were asked about the situation in China and their opinion on the persecution. Every doctor felt uncomfortable with his own conscience and was ashamed of the crimes instigated by the Jiang regime.
  • Outrages Committed by Police in Kaiping Labour Camp

    The practitioners are treated worse than animals and the behaviour of the police is so base it bears no resemblance to that of humans. On one occasion, vicious guards found a practitioner doing exercises, so they kicked her from the second floor down to the first floor. After she fell unconscious, the police claimed she was feigning death, so they kicked her face, stepped on her head and rolled over her hands with their boots until her fingers were bruised and lacerated with blood.
  • Horrifying Torture of Dafa Practitioners in Anshan Forced Labour Camp

    The police do not allow practitioners to sleep or talk for a long time. They force practitioners to face the wall, hang them up, strip their clothes off, tie them up to the bed or iron chair, shock them with high-voltages, put on heavy torture instruments and play loud noises against their ears.
  • Horrible Torture Methods Used on Dafa Practitioners in Changlinzi Forced Labour Camp

    During the family visit, the chief, guards, other prisoners -- over a dozen people --monitor the visit. It is forbidden for visitors to ask about injuries to practitioners or the issue of practising the Dafa exercises in the labour camp. Some practitioners have wounds on their bodies, so the despicable police require them to wear hats, gloves, etc., to hide the injuries.
  • Seventy Year-Old Retired Official Suffers Brutal Persecution in Tuanhe Forced Labour Camp

    As punishment, this seventy-year-old man was forced to squat for a long time outdoors by a heartless police officer..Wang's wife is also very ill at home. Now this old couple is forced to face the prospect of never seeing each other again… Wang Sili asked the leader of the training centre with tears in his eyes, "Why should I suffer such terrible persecution just for being a good person?"
  • Woman Practitioner Becomes an Invalid from Torture at Masanjia Forced Labour Camp

    A once healthy, strong-minded woman, who became a good and kind person through the practice of Falun Dafa, has been reduced to a vegetable state through senseless and horrible torture in the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp. Atrocities like this are innumerable at the labour camp. This is just one example of many.
