  • Chengdu City "610 Office" Extort "Confessions" by Torture at a Brainwashing Class

    In 2002, all employers of Falun Gong practitioners had to pay 20,000 Yuan per employee per month for the brainwashing class. In 2003, the employers were forced to pay 5,000 to 6,000 Yuan per employed Falun Gong practitioner per month. They not only sent gangs to beat up practitioners, but also ordered them to steal farmers' harvests in the fields at midnight.
  • The Crimes Committed by Wang Shuchun from the Taian City "610 Office"

    Over the past four years, out of loyalty to Jiang Zemin's Regime, Wang Shuchun has carried out Jiang's genocidal policy of "ruin Falun Gong practitioners' reputations, devastate them financially and destroy them physically." Under Wang's plotting and conniving, with his instructions and direct participation, hundreds of practitioners were monitored, abducted and detained. Over a dozen Dafa practitioners were sent to labour camps, two were sentenced, numerous practitioners were fined and their homes were searched.
  • Since Changchun TV Broadcasts Exposing Human Rights Violations against Falun Gong Practitioners, Jiang's Regime Escalates Brutal Persecution to Unprecedented Heights

    On March 5, 2002, Falun Gong practitioners in China's northeastern city of Changchun broadcast programmes over China's state-run airwaves, exposing the systematic atrocities against Falun Gong practitioners and Jiang Zemin's attempts to cover them up. This exposure of the truth produced fear in the highest levels of the regime. Enraged, Jiang Zemin ordered to "kill without pardon" those responsible for the broadcast. Over the next few days, more than 5,000 people believed to be practitioners of Falun Gong were detained during an all-out and unprecedented police sweep in Changchun, and the city was under near-martial law. Dozens were killed as a result of police brutality during the round up. A total media blackout severely hampered many attempts to contact locals and confirm individual reports.
  • Jiamusi Labour Camp Responsible For Torture, Embezzlement and Defective Products Produced With Dafa Practitioners' Slave Labour

    The Jiamusi Labour Camp continually forces Dafa practitioners to perform intense labour, and most of the time the work goes beyond a regular working day. They did not discriminate about what kind of work they would force us to do, as long as it made them money. Recently they got a contract with an individual who sent us piles of dirty flax materials that could only be found in refuse piles. The labour camp forced us to use these dirty materials to make cushions for car seats, which would not meet any reasonable quality standard at all. They did not mind hurting consumers in order to make themselves a profit.
  • False Fronts Built on Forced Labour Camps to Conceal the Persecution of Falun Gong from Media and Foreign Investors

    These false fronts can easily deceive the foreign media and investors and lead them to believe that the forced labour camp is a comfortable resort - with deer even! Behind these expensive false fronts, many Falun Gong practitioners have been tortured and murdered in Tuanhe Forced Labour Camp. Imagine that Jiang Zemin's regime would spend a lavish amount of taxpayers' money to create a false impression that China's human rights have been improved so that it can lure foreign investors to the Chinese market, to evade worldwide condemnation and pressure to end the persecution, and to win the chance to host the Olympic Games, and, most importantly, to continue the persecution of Falun Gong.
  • How Many More Families Like Ours Are Being Persecuted?

    My family then paid the money to the labour camp in exchange for my mum's release. However, the labour camp officials didn't release my mother as they promised. Two weeks later, the local police notified us that my mum was at the police station and could be released to us for an additional amount of 3,000 yuan. My family was really angry at their blatant corruption, yet had no choice but to pay them the money in hopes of reuniting my mother with the family. Those local officials! They don't help or serve the local people but instead take every opportunity to extort money from good people for their personal gain.
  • Names of Officials Responsible for the Torture and Extortion of Falun Dafa Practitioners in Nanyang City

    Staff members from Nanyang City Political and Legal Committee "610 Office" have held many brainwashing sessions to persecute and extort money from practitioners. Every time a brainwashing session was held, the executive officers would appropriate large amounts of public money for the operation of such sessions. These funds are hard-earned money paid by the people of the district. However, on top of these extensive funds the brainwashing facility staff members force practitioners to pay 30 yuan in the name of room and board even though they are detained against their wishes and do not volunteer for these classes.
  • The Ongoing Brutal Persecution of Mother and Daughter From Handan City

    Du Likun is now in custody and her mother Yang Fenglian is in a life-threatening situation due to the torture she is enduring at the brainwashing centre. It seems ironic that Jiang Zemin should declare this time to be China's best period for human rights ever, when a mother and her teenage daughter are being deprived of the basic rights of freedom and safety.
  • Police at Chaoyang City Labour Camp Brutally Shock and Beat Dafa Practitioners

    At Xidayingzi Beishan, Chaoyang City, there was a new building constructed at a cost of 3.7 million Yuan called the "Comprehensive Education and Reform Building," which is actually a brainwashing centre where the labour camp chiefs Yu Wanchi, JinYucheng, Cheng Hetian (assistant), and special division chief Qi Yongshun commit countless crimes....On October 22 and 23, 2003, police along with four prisoners took turns torturing and shocking practitioners with the excuse that they needed to "test the effectiveness of the new electric batons."
  • Witness to the Crimes Committed at the Hebei Provincial Brainwashing Centre

    Never believe the words that attack Dafa on the fabricated apology letters as shown on TV. They have deceived many people into believing that former Dafa practitioners are very regretful. But no one knows of the cruel reality behind each of the letters. Those words were written under extreme mental and physical torture and when one was forced to act against one's own will.
  • Severe Persecution Threatens The Lives of Three Hunan Province Dafa Practitioners

    A so-called doctor punched and kicked her until her forehead was bruised and swollen and she eventually fell unconcious. She only awoke after being administered oxygen and emergency treatment. Her teeth were loose and her body was covered with bruises and swollen. She is very ill, vomitting and discharging blood as a result of being tortured by authorities and doctors.
  • Yoko Kaneko Recalls Her 548 Day Abduction by the Followers of Jiang Zemin and His Regime (Part 4)

    My blood pressure was very high and my heart was not good as well. My brain wasn't getting enough blood supply, and I was often in a semi-conscious state. I even lost consciousness and was in a serious condition. My complexion was dark, my lips were blue and I was emaciated. I had extreme oedema in my feet and legs, so bad that I could not even wear shoes. My feet and arms became black and purple from serious blood capillary haemorrhages after my feet and arms were handcuffed for a long period of time.
  • Yoko Kaneko Recalls Her 548 Day Abduction By the Followers of Jiang Zemin and His Regime, Part 3

    While in the hospital, the captain of my unit, Li Jirong, was transferred out and another woman named Li took his place. She came to the hospital and threatened me, saying, "You'll be released soon. We will exchange opinions with the Japanese Embassy. Even after you return back to Japan, we can still extradite you back to China." She also made other threatening remarks. Without the help of the Japanese government and overseas Falun Gong practitioners, I don't know what might have happened to me. I suppose I might be dying in the labour camp right now, or at least have to suffer a longer term of confinement.
  • Two Women Unjustly Sentenced to Ten Years in Prison in Jilin Province

    Ms. Liu Shuyun and Ms. Shi Xiuhong are practitioners from Yanbian Korean Ethnicity Autonomous Region, Jilin Province. After being illegally detained for two years, they were once again sentenced to ten years in prison. They are currently detained at Heizuizi Female Prison in Changchun City, Jilin Province....Incited by Xiao Bin from the security team, Jin Yongyi, Jin (the most notorious for cruelty), Huang and Piao employed barbaric methods to brutally torture the two women.
  • The Atrocities Committed by Police at Dalian Forced Labour Camp

    According to Chinese law, a person who is not in agreement with a forced labour sentence can appeal within 60 days. At the time of their detention all Falun Gong practitioners appealed in writing, demanding to be set free unconditionally, but their requests were categorically denied....A staff member named Sui Ziqiang said, "We cannot help it. The higher authorities ordered us to do this."
