  • I Was Brutally Force Fed at Changsha City Detention Centre

    "The day after I was detained I went on a hunger strike. On the fourth day of my hunger strike, a policeman ordered inmates to force-feed me. They pushed me onto the floor, stood on my feet, and twisted my hands so that I would be in too much pain to resist. One person pushed my head, while another pinched my nose to suffocate me. Another inmate used a brush (used to clean toilets) to pry open my mouth and then used a bottle to force food into my mouth."

This has worsened my family's already poor financial situation and put us in serious debt."

  • The Torture and Persecution That I Sustained Inside Wangcun Forced Labour Camp

    "Recently, "CCTV" [China Central TV]broadcast a series of fabricated lies and rumours alleging that Falun Gong practitioners are not tortured when they are arrested and detained by the authorities.

In here I've suffered unspeakable humiliation, abuse, and torture because I've maintained my firm belief in Falun Dafa.

The nightmares I've experienced during my detention are imprinted in my mind and continually haunt me."
  • Exposing the Dark Secrets of the Persecution of Falun Dafa Practitioners in Hezuizi Forced Labour Camp

    The Hezuizi Forced Labour Camp is a living hell. People who live under such conditions become very weak, and they look tired and old. Their gaze is dull and their reflexes slow. Some people arrived the labour camp with full heads of black hair and had it all turn grey in a single year showing how heavyhearted they have become. The methods used in the forced labour camp are claiming to "educate, transform and save" people. Their so-called "transformation" turns good people to bad people and destroys their will and spirit.

  • The Yantai Daily Fabricated a Report Attacking Falun Gong

    "On August 11, 1999, the Yantai Daily, a newspaper in Yantai City, Shandong Province, published a report about me. The article was entitled, "Falun Gong is Merciless while the Party Committee is Merciful." There were many parts of the article that were inconsistent with the facts. First, the journalist who wrote the article had never interviewed me. I wonder how he came up with such a report about me."
