  • Government Plan to Investigate Corruption and Abuse of Power is Used as a Ruse to Lure Practitioners to Come Forward

    There was an article in the Ying Bao Weekly Review in Hunan Province stating, "The open-door policy of the Public Security Bureau benefits the harmony of the society." After local Falun Dafa practitioners read these articles, they went to the local appeal office and reported the persecution and abuse they received over the past six years. Their purpose was to ask the officers and officials not to commit any more crimes and to not abuse the kind, law-abiding citizens who practise Falun Gong. To their great surprise, officials from the local appeal office, the police, and the town "610 Office" arrested, beat, searched and detained the practitioners right on the spot.
  • I Got Out of the Jiamusi City Forced Labour Camp Alive after Suffering Extreme Torture

    "I was imprisoned in the Jiamusi Forced Labour Camp by the local police because I practise Falun Dafa. I suffered nearly two years of persecution in the labour camp. The guards there treated practitioners in a manner too cruel to describe. Guards handcuffed me in the "big back-cuffing" position [this is a very painful form of torture in which one arm is pulled down the back behind the head and the other hand is raised up from the lower back. The two hands are handcuffed together, causing unbearable pain]. I was handcuffed for two hours in this extremely painful position. I got out alive from the labour camp, but suffered extreme torture."

    In December 2000, Ms. Qin Qingfang, 63, was arrested for being persistent in her practice of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." Her husband witnessed her arrest and was so frightened that he suffered a stroke, losing the ability to speak and also becoming paralysed. With no one else to look after Ms. Qi's ageing father and her eight-year-old grandson, the authorities still sentenced Ms. Qi to three years of forced labour and was thus sent to Masanjia Forced Labour Camp in September 2004 for three years of forced labour. On July 9th 2005, she died as a result of persecution
  • Falun Dafa Practitioner Ms. Mu Xiangjie Shares Her Firsthand Experiences of Persecution

    "My name is Mu Xiangjie and I live in Tianjin City. In September 2000, I appealed for justice for Falun Dafa in Tiananmen Square and was arrested. The police sent me to the Tiananmen Police Department and beat me fiendishly because I refused to get into their car. They beat me until I couldn't move my upper body, except for my arms. I escaped from the police department. Later I was again arrested and sent to the Hongqiao Detention Centre in Tianjin. I held a hunger strike and was forced-fed. I was then unjustly sentenced to two years of forced labour."
  • "610 Office" Staff in Sichuan Province Defame Falun Dafa

    "610 Office" staff lured Ms Tang Yichun with 200 yuan and the promise that they would take care of her medical expenses in the future. She was told to go to the highway. Her husband Liu Jiajie was the school director of the Township in 1975. He was punished and sent to farm in his hometown because they had violated the one-child policy. Because they were sent to farm, Tang Yichun became mentally unstable and had remained in this condition for 25 years. The "610 Office" had Tang Yichun come to the highway and told her to wave and jump and say, "I went insane because of practising Falun Gong." A reporter from Weiyuan Television Station recorded Tang Yichun and created a programme that was broadcast repeatedly in Weiyuan County.

  • Revealing More Information about the Persecution After Reading the Clearwisdom Article, "Former Head of the Shenyang City Judicial Bureau Exposes the 610 Office"

    I deeply appreciated former head of the Shenyang City Judicial Bureau, Mr. Han Guangsheng's courage to speak out and expose the truth about the persecution of Falun Gong. What he said is true but not quite complete; I want to add more information. In the case of practitioner Ms. Han Tianzi, Mr. Han only mentioned that the police shocked Han Tianzi with electric batons but he did not describe the result of the electric shocks. The fact is, because of the electric shock torture, Han Tianzi was in a coma with a high fever. Her body twitched and jerked and she suffered both bladder and bowel incontinence.
