I Was Tortured in Shibalihe Women's Forced Labour Camp
2009-07-24In order to resist the detention, in December 2001, many practitioners held hunger strikes. The guards ordered prisoners to "force-feed" practitioners. Some forced open practitioners' mouths with spoons and some of them pinched practitioners' noses so that they had to open their mouths. Several people pushed me down on the ground, some of them pinched my nose, and others pinched my cheeks, held down my arms and legs, and used spoons to force open my mouth to force feed me. They did not care if I swallowed the food, they just kept going through the motions, dumping one spoon after another into my mouth. Sometimes I was not able to breathe. -

Changchun City Intermediate Court Obstructs Human Rights Lawyers from Defending Falun Gong Practitioners
2009-07-19On March 27th, 2009, the Nong'an County Court in Jilin Province held a "public sentencing" of seven Falun Gong practitioners without notifying any family members. After that day, other practitioners and their families hired fourteen human rights lawyers to defend them at the second trial. The Changchun City Intermediate Court continues to obstruct the involvement of the lawyers in this case.

The Naked Truth about Jiangsu Province Women's Forced Labour Camp
2009-07-17Jiangsu Province Women's Forced Labour Camp has received many awards and commendations from upper-level authorities in the past, won due to falsifications and deceit by camp personnel. In the pursuit of justice and to keep their evil conduct from spilling over into other camps, I'm making public the true situation. Prisoners are forced to get up at 5:45 or 6:10 a.m. These times change every five days. We work until around 10:00 p.m. or even later. When we have a deadline, it is not uncommon that we work until midnight or sometimes until the morning. Everyone is stressed out. Prisoners often beat and curse people. A drug addict beat me. My head was swollen, but the officer on duty simply laughed and walked away. -
