My Experience of Being Persecuted at the Forced Labour Dispatch Centre and the Women's Forced Labour Camp in Beijing
2007-05-14
Because of physical and mental torture, my health was ruined. After one year and six months at the forced labour camp I had lost much of my eyesight, my memory had deteriorated and my hair had turned grey. The inhuman torture took a toll on my body. I even came close to a mental collapse at one time. I suffered increased interstitial fluid in my organs due to prolonged malnutrition and sitting on a high board for a long period of time. Even after being released from the forced labour camp I had difficulty walking unaided for a long time. Practitioners who were "transformed" and who renounced Falun Dafa were still forced to perform slave labour. Sometimes we made handicrafts and other types of jobs. In the summer of 2006 we were required to pack sugar. There were flies everywhere in the workshop and it was a very unhygienic facility. -
Police in Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province Arrest Six Practitioners using the Excuse of Defending Security for the Olympic Games
2007-05-14On April 14th, six Falun Gong practitioners were arrested by corrupt police officers. On April 28th, they were sent to a forced labour camp. the police informed the relatives of the practitioners that they must sign relevant documents for the judicial procedures. Their intentions and tricks were extremely contemptible. Without any conscience, they even held a party to celebrate their "accomplishment" and received bonuses. It is said by an insider of the police establishment that the higher authorities appropriated funds of 100,000 yuan for them in order to stop practitioners from utilising satellites to inform people about the persecution of Falun Gong and dispel the state propaganda attacking the practice before the 17th Party Congress and the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games -
Former Military Officer Mr. Wei Danquan Arrested Again by Police in Shanhaiguan, Hebei Province
2007-05-13Mr. Wei Danquan is over 40 years old and was a military officer who used to work at Shanhaiguan Airport. He has been detained and cruelly tortured in successive years because of his firm belief in Falun Dafa. Recently, he was arrested again although he still suffers from tuberculosis and is spitting up large amounts of blood. Because Mr. Wei Danquan refused to give up his belief, he was fired from work, monitored and detained several times, and his home was ransacked many times. He was also sent to a forced labour camp in 2003 and severely tortured. The judicial system tried to sentence him in 2004. He was secretly arrested by public security officers in 2005, and was again arrested on April 14th, 2007. -
Masanjia Labour Re-education Camp Tortures Steadfast Falun Dafa Practitioners
2007-05-13On February 26th, 2002, I was detained at the notorious Masanjia Labour Re-education Camp in Liaoning Province. I witnessed how the prison guards at Masanjia brutally torment steadfast Falun Dafa practitioners. When practitioners are first brought to Masanjia, the first trick the guards use on them is the "exhaustion tactic": a practitioner has to get up at around 4:00 a.m. and face "collaborators" who try and "transform" them until midnight. This is repeated every day. If after a long period of time the "exhaustion tactic" doesn't work, the labour camp then uses physical punishment like hanging practitioners up in the air and other forms of torture until the person cannot take it any more. -

The Evil Guangzhou City No. 1 Forced Labour Camp in Guangdong Province
2007-05-08The next day I started a hunger strike against their unlawful persecution. At noon on the third day they pulled me out for force-feeding. They used two sets of handcuffs to handcuff each of my hands on a long bench. They deliberately pulled the handcuffs very tight, making them cut into my flesh. I was in such excruciating pain that my whole body trembled. Five of them sprang on me and tied me up. First, they used cotton strips to tie up my arms. Then they twisted my arms to the back. Two of the monitors used all their strength to pull my arms to make them come close together. Then they tied my arms together in the back. They also tied up my legs and forced my legs into the lotus position (both feet on top of the thighs). My arms had very deep wounds, as did my back. I could not move nor raise my hands -- they simply hung down. -

2007-05-08Ms. Zhu Guilin, 43, has been detained in Baimalong Forced Labour Camp since 2004 and has suffered brutal torture. She has now served her so-called "forced labour term" but the labour camp still refuses to release her. Prisoners often beat Zhu Guilin. In July 2005, because she didn't stand up to do the morning calisthenics, the prisoners dragged her out and beat and verbally abused her, right in front of the guards. Another time she was beaten until she lost consciousness. On April 9th, when her family visited her, they saw that she was covered with wounds everywhere, on her face, her head, elbows, knees, legs, and so on. There were three burns on her hands. Several places on her body had festered. -
Shackled to an Iron Chair for Fifty Days at Panjin Prison in Liaoning Province
2007-05-08On August 18th, 2006, I was transferred from Wafangdian Prison to Panjin Prison. After August 20th, I was shackled to an "iron chair" and force-fed twenty-four hours a day. The iron chair is made of thin, irregularly-shaped steel bars that are welded onto a steel plate. One's chest and thighs are bound by two pieces of eight-centimetre-wide steel scrap, and the hands are cuffed onto the chair. In addition, one's feet are locked up by two steel bars that are connected. There are a total of five locks. Only one's head can move. One sits on three steel bars. In fact, sitting on the "chair" means sitting on three steel bars. As a result, one's buttocks will be torn very soon; one's neck, lumbar and coccygeal vertebrae will be injured to different degrees. -
