  • Gruesome Account of Abuse Female Dafa Practitioners Endure in Harbin Drug Rehabilitation Centre

    Those Dafa practitioners who were tortured to the brink of losing consciousness were finger printed by prisoners pressing their hands on the pre-written "transformation statements." This is how this Drug Rehabilitation Centre reached the "above 90% transformation ratio" in three days. Prisoners carried the unconscious practitioners out of the basement. After they came to, they were punished by having to squat and were cuffed on the bed and then dragged to the basement for additional torture. Some of the ways they used to torture Dafa practitioners are too horrible to describe.
  • Crimes Committed Against Innocent Female Dafa Practitioners in the Beijing Police Hospital

    All the prisoners here had one foot chained to the bed. Everyday they were unlocked only for a toilet break in the morning. Police tried to force practitioners to wear the shackles by themselves. Yuan Lin and her cellmates 56 year-old Ms. Wang Guangying and 62 year-old Ms. Qi Bingshu (both from Hefei City, Anhui Province) and one other practitioner refused to wear the shackles. They insisted that they are innocent and that their detention is illegal. The police on duty led by the head guard threatened, "Since you refused to do it yourselves, we are going to chain you for three days and three nights!" The police chained everyone in the room by their leg and handcuffed their hands with two additional handcuffs.

  • More About the Death of Falun Dafa Practitioner Jilin Province Ms. Li Shuhua and the Devastation of Her Family

    When the families saw her body, it did not look like she died of hunger at all. Even though her face had a lot of make-up on it and her clothes had been changed, they still could see that there were bruises on one side of her face and there was broken skin on two places on her face. One side of her skull was caved in and there were some lumps on the back of her head. Besides that, she was extremely thin. After dissecting her body, the coroners found over 5 kilograms of blood in her abdominal cavity. The blood hadn't congealed and it was still liquid. The coroner claimed that the blood was menstrual blood. Anyone with any medical knowledge would know that this was a lie intended to deceive the family. The family doubted the reason given as the cause of her death, so they wanted to take some pictures of her body. The Public Security Bureau not only refused to allow the family to take pictures of her, but also had the police watch her body until her cremation.
  • Female Practitioner's Personal Account: "Falun Dafa Cured My Terminal Disease but the Persecution Devastated My Body"

    Because I refused to give up my faith in "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance," I was under close surveillance. Later on, I twice solemnly stated to the deputies that I believe in "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance," yet I received more hideous tortures. They shocked me with electric batons to the point that I fell unconscious to the floor with my body twitching and twisting. They tried to force me to give up my belief. In the process they mentioned Jiang often. They told me, "Jiang Zemin told you not to practise Falun Gong already and you better follow orders. If you practise you break the law. How can an arm overpower the leg?"
  • Catalogue of Gruesome Cruelties Used In The Harbin "Drug Rehabilitation Centre"

    The basement, which holds over one hundred people for work during the day, becomes one of the main places for persecuting Dafa practitioners at night. One only has to say the word "practice" and they will be dragged into the basement and beaten up. Once this is done, all their hair is cut off. Sometimes the hair is entirely cut off leaving the scalp exposed. Other times, they cut off all but one strand of long hair. The policemen's shouting, the noise of the electric batons being used to shock people, and the criminals' cursing, kicking, and beating people (sometimes using square clubs) makes the dark and damp basement even more ghastly and horrifying.
  • Elderly Woman Goes Blind Due to Appalling Conditions in Shuangcheng Brainwashing Centre

    Female practitioner Ms Wang Benying was of old age. She became blind because of the long detention. The guards said, "There are no vegetables and the food is not nutritious, thus people will become blind. Hurry up and write a 'Guarantee Statement'. Only if you state that you give up with Falun Gong will you be released." Ms Wang Benying's family wasted no effort to get her released for medical treatment, but without positive results. The guards refused to release her. One of the guards named Wang Peng said, "We will not be held accountable if someone leaves the room on her last breath and died outside the door."

    In the beginning, when Jiang Yongjian first came to Taoxu Town and started his term as Party Secretary, he had said viciously, "If any officials are found out to be corrupt, I will cuff his hands [meaning throw him into prison]." Just before he finished his term, his own "hands" were cuffed because of rampant corruption.
