Torture, Forced Hard Labour, and Deception in the Female Labour Camp of Nanning City
2003-12-18
One evening a policeman forced us to kneel down in the corridor. One cadre who came for inspection found out and asked: "Who has punished you like that? Who approved such measures?" The police did not dare to admit to it and immediately had practitioners go back to their cells. When the cadre left, the police again forced us to kneel down in the corridor. We were punished again like this the next day. This was repeated several times. -
Twenty Practitioners Arrested by the "610 Office" in Shiyan City
2003-12-18In late August 2003, following large-scale efforts by practitioners to expose the persecution, the authorities established a 'Law Education Base' (brainwashing centre) to be headed by the deputy secretary of the City Political and Judiciary Committee and the "610 Office" director, Lu Jinchang. They had the City Criminal Police Branch leader and the assistant director of the "610 Office," Zhu Bangyi, lead policemen to convert hotels and motels into bases for persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. Police arrested dozens of practitioners, sent them to a labour camp, detained, or forced them to go to a brainwashing centre. -
Hebei Province: A Woman in Her Sixties Is Force-Fed Human Excrement Three Times
2003-12-16The Gaoyang Forced Labour Camp founded the Women's Brigade in November 2000. Although it hasn't been in existence very long, its high rate of forcing practitioners to give up their practice of Falun Dafa is well known throughout the country. Frequently, there were authorities from labour camps in surrounding areas that came to learn their techniques for breaking down Falun Gong practitioners and forcing them to renounce their belief. Many steadfast practitioners were transferred here from other forced labour camps in Shijiazhuang City, Tangshan City, and Baoding City in order to intensify the persecution against them. -

Charles Li Suffered Intensified Brainwashing Just Prior to the Meeting of Wen and Bush
2003-12-15One specialist on China pointed out that forcing someone to give up their faith is the same as asking them to give up their conscience and their human dignity. Brainwashing is an inhuman mental torture, causing the victim worse pain and long-term effects than physical torture. Brainwashing is unacceptable to western democratic governments, legal systems and society. The specialist also noted that the Chinese Communist Party is very focused on spiritual control. The persecution of Falun Dafa by Jiang has reinforced this dark side of Chinese society. In fact, cruel torture is routinely used to effect spiritual control, and it has been used to force Falun Dafa practitioners give up their faith and their freedom to practise the exercises. -
Hunan Province: Baimalong Labour Camp Inject Nerve Damaging Drugs Into Captive Women
2003-12-15In Baimalong Labour Camp, you can be tortured in a multitude of ways if you are determined to practise Falun Dafa. After six days, Chen was sent to the medical office for injections. After half a month, the director ordered two officers to watch her in the medical office. According to witnesses, the staff injected glucose, along with a nerve-damaging drug called "Winter Sleep," into Chen's bloodstream. After being injected with this drug, a person will gradually suffer memory loss and will want to sleep all the time. The medical staff injected Chen with small quantities of this drug each day, causing her to slowly become sick, as if she were suffering from a chronic disease. Doctor Lu from the Baimalong medical office is primarily responsible for the harm done to Ms. Chen's health. -
Police Illegally Open Citizens' Letters Seeking "Evidence" For Their Conviction
2003-12-15How did the city government get my personal letters? Did the city government intercept them? Or did someone report them? The people involved in such a dirty thing dare not to frankly reveal it to the public. However, they convict people only by the letters they write and without any legal basis. How can they talk about human rights? How can it be treated as an illegal activity to express one's thoughts and beliefs in writing to relatives? As citizens, how can we live under these conditions? I therefore call upon the international justice and human rights organizations, as well as all people with a sense of conscience, to come together to stop this persecution and defend justice throughout the world. -
Falun Gong Practitioner Ms. Lu Guifang Dies as a Result of Torture in the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp
2003-12-14In 2002, Dafa practitioner Lu went to Dalian City and was invited to a fellow practitioner's home. She was followed. Police arrested her, her husband and her son. Her husband was sentenced to three years of forced labour; her son to one year of forced labour; her sister-in-law was sentenced to three years of forced labour, and the women practitioners were sent to the Masanjia Labour Camp. It was the cold of winter during her detention at Yaojia Detention Centre in Dalian City. She paid the detention centre 300 Yuan for a quilt and bedcover, but never received them. The extreme cold prevented the 63-year-old woman from sleeping at night. She was also forced to work and sit on the bed in the day. They also physically and mentally tortured her. -
One of the Methods Adopted to Torture Falun Gong Practitioners -- Barbaric Forced Feeding
2003-12-14"Policeman Li Jing was the orderly officer in charge of forced feeding one day in early July 2002. He required us to make a kind of paste. For each person, there would be 2 or 3 cloves of garlic, half a cucumber, 3 pieces of cabbage and some water. One of us said that Falun Gong practitioners would not be able to stand that since their stomachs were empty [from being on hunger strike]. But Li Jing shouted out ferociously, "They deserve that. Even if it kills them, it doesn't matter." None of us dared to speak out. Li Jing made a subtle threat, saying that we had to follow his orders 'or else,' and then left. The first one coming in was a young man in his 20's. After we fed him the paste, he held his stomach with his hands, and could not stand up nor sit down. His face turned pale, beaded with pea-sized beads of sweat. Seeing him suffering like that, my heart started to give. I started to regret this group of vicious predators and becoming a brutal henchman in the persecution of Falun Gong. -

Violence and Torture in Shanxi Province Women's Forced Labour Camp
2003-12-13The Shanxi Province Women's Forced Labour Camp purchased many videos made by the Chinese propaganda to slander Falun Gong. In order to gain praise from their superior, the police desperately enacted the evil policy that was made by former Chinese Leader Jiang Zemin against Falun Gong. The police are getting more and more vicious and hateful toward Dafa practitioners. They have stepped up brainwashing and are resorting to violence constantly. In order to force Dafa practitioners into renouncing their belief, the police torture practitioners in many ways such as beating, electric baton shocking, forced feeding with a stomach tube, being hand cuffed for extended periods, etc. Due to the authorities cover-up of their crimes, the evidence we have is only a small portion of the total crimes that have been committed. -
Jiang Zemin's Regime Resorts to Brutal Means in Its Attempt to Brainwash Charles Li
2003-12-12Experts on China issues have pointed out that forcing a person to give up his belief is the same as forcing him to give up his conscience and give up the dignity of being human. Forced brainwashing is annihilative, psychological persecution; the pain and aftermath is usually more cruel than physical torture. The Jiang regime likes to use psychological manipulation, while Jiang Zemin's persecution of Falun Gong has intensified and magnified this dark aspect. In fact, physical tortures are also used for psychological manipulation, and the goal is to force Falun Gong practitioners to give up their belief and right to practice. -
Jilin Province: Four Years of Atrocious Torture Recounted by Female Dafa Practitioner
2003-12-12The police had arrested me six times since 1999, and caused my family a great deal of pain. Before the police threw me into the forced labour camp, they forced my husband to divorce me against our will. Hence, I had no home to return to after I was released and I became homeless. Later I moved into my mother's home and stayed with her and my young brother for a short period of time, but the police frequently came and harassed us. Sometimes the police would even break into my mother's home in the middle of the night, causing my mother and brother to live in fear and terror. In addition, the police fired me from work in 1999, because I appealed for Falun Dafa, and thus cut off my income. Later, my former employer granted me 150 yuan every month which was only enough to pay for the most minimal living expenses in the urban area of Jilin City. -
The Forced Labour Reeducation Organisations of Shandong Province Actively Promote the Use of Slave Labour for Profit
2003-12-12From February 17 to March 1 of 2003, an 11-member delegation from the Labour Reeducation Bureau of Shandong Province (including Director Li Tinglu) conducted a survey in ten labour camps in Jiangsu Province, Zhejiang Province and Shanghai City. The findings of the survey were unveiled in a survey report. According to the report, "The labour camps of these areas have very actively engaged in forced labour production and have made remarkable profits. The forced labour production has not only provided financial support to the labour camps' operation, but has also brought material benefits to the police staff." The labour camps in the three areas "enjoy positive financial status. Personal incomes of police officers are substantially higher than that in Shandong Province. The bonus for each police officer in Shiliping Forced Labour Camp is always about 20,000 yuan every year."
