Exposing Policeman’s “Three Steps” Policy Of Persecution Against Dafa Practitioners

The first step

After every Falun Dafa practitioner is arrested, no matter whether elderly or young, they were interrogated and detained in the local police stations. They beat and deceived practitioners to extort a confession. They forced practitioners to tell who their contacts were and to give names of other practitioners. Some practitioners were not alert to their deception. If any names were mentioned, that person would be arrested, detained and sent to a forced labour camp or sentenced to imprisonment. In this way, some practitioners were implicated and arrested. Some collaborators [former Falun Gong practitioners who have stopped practising Falun Gong due to brainwashing and torture and now assist in the persecution] even helped the police to do these evil deeds. They informed police about practitioners, which led to arrests and severe persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners […].

The second step

Abusive policemen used all their methods to register "cases," and then they put practitioners into detention centres for further interrogation and to extort confessions. They used any excuse to cuff practitioners' hands and feet together and then nail them to boards. Practitioners were not able to take care of themselves and were forced to release urine or stool on the boards. The torture was extremely cruel. If someone went on a hunger strike to protest the cruel and brutal maltreatment, he would be force-fed with highly concentrated salt water through a tube to make him feel thirsty and eat. They called this treatment "life saving," but actually it was aggravated torture. This second step lasted for about two months.

The third step

Most of the practitioners were forcibly sent to labour camps. The so-called "sentence to forced labour" actually came without a trial, because there was no crime and no facts for trials. All practitioners were sent to forced labour camps merely due to orders from the evil regime. The sentence did not go through the judicial system. On the average, practitioners were sentenced to three years of forced labour. A few were sentenced to one or two years. The purpose of being sent to forced labour camps is to "reform" practitioners [force practitioners to give up Falun Gong practice using a combination of torture and brainwashing]. Practitioners in forced labour camps […] were cruelly beaten and tortured. Some were tortured to death.

Policemen sent some unyielding (refused to be reformed) practitioners to the Guanshan or Masanjia Forced Labour Camps for further torture. Practitioner Mr. Chen Yong from Dalian City's Developing District was tortured to death in the Guanshan Forced Labour Camp. Female practitioner Xiao Xue (pseudonym) was put into a male cell for humiliation and physical torture in the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp.

The Chinese political regime insists on persecuting Dafa practitioners, ignoring repeated appeals from international organizations and kind-hearted people from around the world. We hope all kind-hearted people continue to pay attention to this issue.
