With this hint, some criminals understood what he meant. An inmate leader (named Zhu Yonggang from Dunhua, Jilin Province) yelled out in front of many criminals and Dafa practitioners, "I could do anything the police can do!" He is extremely vicious and often beats up people as he wishes.

But Zhou insisted on listening to the Falun Gong lecture series and practising the sitting meditation. In less than half-a-month, she was able to leave her bed and walk around.

  • Dafa Practitioner from Heilongjiang Province Tortured to Death

    The police are blocking the news very tightly about yet another Dafa practitioner who died as a result of torture.

  • Appalling Infringement of Human Rights at Xishanping Forced Labour Camp

    The so-called "Leifeng Tower" in Xishanping Forced Labour Camp is a dark place of about two square meters (about 20 square feet) that includes two rooms with no sunlight, only ghastly darkness. A stone slab in one of the rooms constitutes a bed while the other room contains no furniture at all. Human excrement is visible everywhere, since there is no toilet. In addition, because rats and snakes have infested the place, rotting animal corpses give off an unbearable stench.
