She assaulted her mother with an iron nail, attacking her head, back and upper body, causing her to bleed profusely. In 2006, Ms. Hu was reported to the police by her daughter and sent to a brainwashing centre.
  • What I Saw and Heard in Beijing Women's Forced Labour Camp

    In late May 2005, in the "Intensive Training Team" of Beijing Women's Forced Labour Re-education Camp, there was an elderly Falun Gong practitioner who was quite tall and had white hair. When it was time for her to shower, three people would hold her body, with a towel forced into her mouth in order to keep her from talking. However, we have not seen her since June. When we were having so-called "legal lessons," practitioners asked, "What crime did we Falun Gong practitioners commit for you to sentence us?" The guard who was leading the session said, "You committed a crime because you believe morality is superior to the law." There was no further explanation.
  • An Account of Persecution at the Shandong Province No. 2 Forced Labour Camp in Wangcun, Zibo City

    Practitioner Zhang Feng, 32, an English teacher, went on a hunger strike for nearly three years at Liaocheng Hospital, and later he was transferred to the No.7 Division of the No. 2 Labour Camp of Shandong Province. In 2005, guards used cruel means to try to force Zhang Feng to give up Falun Gong using both physical and mental abuse. Later the guards made him do forced labour like other Falun Gong practitioners. The practitioners were forced to use toxic glue to put together glass in the closed, suffocating workshop. The glue contained sodium nitrate, and each practitioner was forced to finish his quota. Zhang Feng's eyes were sensitive to the glue, and he was already myopic. His eyes were so affected by the glue that his right eye shrank and became distorted. Furthermore, his right eye became smaller and smaller until it was nearly blind. The guards still did not release him
  • Ms. Li Jifeng Given Eight Year Sentence and Tortured at Yongchuan Prison in Chongqing City

    On May 28th, 2003, police from the Beipei District Police Department arrested Ms. Li Jifeng and took away her Dafa books and other leaflets exposing the persecution. They also confiscated about 7,000 yuan cash from her home and other personal property, including a computer. To date, the police department has not returned these items. The police sent Li Jifeng to the brainwashing class in the Beipei Party School. Li Jifeng refused to tell them any information about the leaflets production site and other fellow practitioners. She did not cooperate at all, so the police from the Beipei District Police Department hung her up and beat her for a long time. She was brutally tortured in both body and mind. In February 2004, she was sentenced to eight years of imprisonment.
  • Luo Gan Conspires with Shijiazhuang Court to Abuse Power and Turn the Trial of Practitioner Wang Bo into a Show Trial

    The case of Wang Bo went to the second round of hearings in Shijiazhuang City on April 27th. Six defence lawyers from Beijing courageously walked out of the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) shadow, and bravely pleaded not guilty for the family of Wang Bo. This drew wide attention from international society. The lawyers pointed out 13 incidences of authorities violating legal procedures, and submitted supplementary defence statements.

Two days later, Mr. Liu's mother, Ms. Yang Tiezhen, also a Falun Gong practitioner, was arrested. Ms. Zhai was pregnant at the time and was thus rejected by the Lugouqiao Detention Centre. In order for her to be admitted by the detention centre, she was forced by the police to have an abortion.
  • The Persecution of an Elderly Woman from Huili, Sichuan Province

    My name is Cui Deli, and I am a 65-year-old woman from Sichuan Province. I have benefited physically and mentally from practising Falun Dafa. Since July 20th, 1999, I have experienced various forms of persecution merely because I chose to uphold my belief in Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance, and be a good person. In 2001, the Public Security Bureau stole more than 140,000 yuan, which was loaned money, from my daughter and son-in-law's safe, and told them that they had to investigate before they could return the money. My son-in-law was taken away and detained for a week. But they still didn't return the money.
  • Exposing the Brutalities at Huanxiling Forced Labour Camp in Jilin City, Jilin Province

    Shocking with electric batons, beating with spiked clubs, and kicking and punching is the torture method police used the most. One day at the beginning of March 2001, Li Yingpeng was suddenly called to the office and was shocked with electric batons for half an hour for no reason. During the massive torturing on March 11th, 2001, 37 practitioners of the 50 practitioners on the fourth floor in the Education Team were tortured by more than a dozen police with electric batons and spiked clubs. Bai Jingzhi had fractured ribs. Jiang Mifeng and Song Wenming had their backs injured from the torture.
  • Baimalong Forced Labour Camp in Hunan Province Responsible for the Arrests of Visitors to Practitioner Ms. Liu Dan

    On May 16th, 2007, four relatives attempted to visit detained prisoner Ms. Liu Dan in Baimalong Forced Labour Camp. A guard working at the camp refused to let them visit that day, because they had seen Ms. Liu the previous week. The relatives argued but were referred to the head of the camp. The official refused visits and accused Liu Dan's relatives of finding people to destroy and expose Majialong Forced Labour Camp. The Shifeng District Police Station was called to take Liu's four relatives and friend away because they had no identification. Mao Xiangtao was detained for five days. Tang Fengying and Liu's friend were each jailed for ten days.
  • Art Studio Students Miss Their Teacher Mr. Zhang Yinfu

    Tragically, art teacher Mr. Zhang Yinfu was arrested by the public security bureau on April 21st. That night, teacher Zhang finished teaching and chatted with one of his student's parent at 11:00 p.m. when he left his studio. The next morning, the students came to school but their teacher was not there. Teacher Zhang's office had been ransacked and left a mess. Several investigators came to question other teachers (hired by teacher Zhang). At this moment everyone asked, "Where is teacher Zhang?" Finally the news came out that public security was investigating teacher Zhang as a Falun Gong practitioner. No wonder teacher Zhang is so kind, for he practises Falun Gong. Falun Gong is the practice of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. The department persecuting teacher Zhang is the Bao Ming Detention Centre Xinan Neighbourhood Security.
  • The Chinese Communist Party Is Hiding Its Second Verdict Against Cao Dong from the Public

    In May 2006, Dafa practitioner Cao Dong met with the European Parliament's Vice President, Mr. Edward McMillan-Scott. As a result, he was arrested. Mr. Cao was charged with "colluding with overseas anti-CCP forces" and "accepting an illegal interview." On February 8th, 2007, he was sentenced to five years of imprisonment. After the sentence, Mr. Cao's defence lawyer made a statement that "the trial decision does not conform to the facts" according to new evidence he collected. In order to cover up their crime of depriving Chinese citizens of their basic human rights, the judicial system operated by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) ignored the voice of justice and malevolently insisted on convening a second trial in private.
  • Police in Changchun, Jilin Province Rampantly Arrest Practitioners and Search Their Homes

    Since March 2007, many practitioners in Changchun have been arrested, persecuted, and had their homes searched by the police and Public Security Bureau agents in their local districts. It seems that every two or three days several practitioners are arrested. Dozens of practitioners have recently been taken into custody. The police go to a practitioner's home and then deceive him or her into opening the door for them. If that ploy is not successful, they use a locksmith to break into the home, the police search it, and confiscate any Falun Dafa materials and related items and arrest the practitioner.
  • Police Use Drug Addicts to Torture Practitioners in Changsha City's Xinkaipu Forced Labour Camp in Hunan Province

    On July 23rd, 2007, practitioner Li Wei was forced to stand on bricks that had been heated in a furnace in the scorching hot summer. He was also constantly bombarded with propaganda and otherwise mentally tortured, causing him to suffer a mental collapse and jump out of a building. Liu Heqing was savagely beaten for a long time. He was frequently woken up, pulled from his cell and beaten. On one occasion over ten officers on duty pulled him out to the hall and beat him for several hours. The beating caused him to suffer a mental collapse. The police gave bonus rewards to those who had beaten him.
  • A Young Chinese Practitioner's Essay: Mother's Love

    My mother is a Falun Gong practitioner. When I was one-and-a-half years old, mother was forcefully taken to a detention centre or prison time and time again, and I had to live with my father and grandmother. Mother conducted a hunger strike, refusing food and water for ten days. The labour camp guards inserted a tube through mother's nostrils to force feed her; the guards filled highly-concentrated salt water into my mother's stomach, and the salt water burst from mother's nasal cavity and oral cavity. Mother's stomach was so swollen that she tossed on the bed due to the pain, without closing her eyes all night long. Fearing responsibility for my mother's death, the labour camp agreed to release her. When my near-death mother saw me, she opened her cracked mouth and smiled.
  • Weiningying Forced Labour Camp in Benxi City, Liaoning Province Routinely Tortures Practitioners on "Death Bed"

    The methods that Liu Shaoshi, director of the Weiningying Forced Labour Camp in Benxi, Liaoning Province, uses to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners are extremely sinister and ruthless. He instigates police officers to forcefully "transform" Falun Dafa practitioners. The cruelty of the methods that they use on practitioners is escalating. The method they use routinely is called the "Death Bed torture". Several Falun Dafa practitioners were tortured this way and some have become disabled afterwards.
