Practitioners Tortured in Jiutai Labour Camp
2004-06-16
Guards at the Jiutai Labour Camp in Jilin Province have been cruelly persecuting Falun Gong practitioners since they began detaining them. To the outside, they claimed that their policy was "Education, Reform, and Salvation," however they were actually following the policies of Jiang. Namely, "It doesn't matter if you kill a Falun Gong practitioner," and "those who are killed can be counted as suicide." Since March 2004, guards at the labour camp have also been fabricating documents and cheating practitioners because authorities there agreed to pay them 400 Yuan for "reforming" a practitioner. -
The Persecution of Falun Dafa Practitioners in Zhejiang Province
2004-06-16Mr. Ji Jianwei, a Falun Gong practitioner, was formerly a policeman in Huzhou City Police Station. Because Mr. Ji practises Falun Gong, he was detained at Huzhou City Detention Centre on criminal charges. Since Mr. Ji was a policeman himself, many policemen in the detention centre knew him. They all wondered why an outstanding policeman who used to catch all kinds of criminals was detained there. So the "610 Office" purposely transferred Mr. Ji to a detention centre in Changxing. He suffered many kinds of torture and intensive forced-labour there. -
