  • Recent Persecution at the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp

    In September 2006, the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp "borrowed" a gang of guards from several other places. These guards colluded with the local Masanjia female guards to torture, using excruciating means, the practitioners who refused to be "reformed." The guards handcuffed practitioners to two metal beds, stretching their hands as much as possible in the process. Some practitioners' hands were bound to their calves, forcing them to bend down without the ability to stand straight or sit down. Over time this is extremely painful, as all the body's weight is concentrated on the handcuffed positions

  • Mr. Tian Shuangjiang Recounts the Persecution He Experienced at the Keerqin District Detention Centre in Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia

    "I was detained in a detention centre for one year, then I realised that it was wrong to suffer this persecution, and I refused to wear the prison uniform. Guard Liu Xixian put me in a "pig shackle," handcuffs and shackles soldered together with a short iron shackle. One cannot stand up straight, and can only take small steps while bent over. One cannot even undo one's trousers to use the toilet without someone's help. Later they put another tool on me made of iron pipes with shackles on the upper end for the hands, and shackles on the lower end for the legs. After being secured one cannot even move. They made the shackles very tight, even cutting into my muscles. I spent four days and nights like this; it seemed worse than death."
  • Women's Division of the Jiamusi Forced Labour Camp (Heilongjiang Province) Brutally Tortures Falun Gong Practitioners

    As soon as the guards had selected a victim for torture, that person would be subjected to a very cruel torture method, called the "forced back-bend" position. This is an extremely painful torture. One arm reaches down the back from behind the head and the other hand meets it from the lower back. The two hands are then cuffed together to the bedside. The victim is forced to sit on the floor in a right angle and not allowed to bend the legs. While being subjected to this torture method, guards and criminal inmates constantly twisted and pulled the victim's hands, resulting in excruciating pain. The hands swell within a short time and the handcuffs cut into the wrists. The victim is short of breath, suffers accelerated heart beat, and is soaked with perspiration.
  • How Practitioners Are Persecuted in the Second Forced Labour Camp in Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province

    The second group often casually prolongs the sentences of the practitioners. They often do not inform the practitioners beforehand and use excuses such as "practitioners did not listen to their orders," "they practised the exercises," "they went on hunger strikes" and so on, to extend practitioners' sentences. The extension can be for five days, ten days or even up to several months long. During the extension of sentences, if a practitioner protests, the police threaten to extend the sentence even more. Falun Gong practitioner Liu Cheng had almost completed his sentence, but was informed that his sentence was extended for another ten days.

The whole process was videotaped and then shown to the practitioner involved, in an attempt to "transform" that practitioner by taking advantage of his affection for his family. Then they ordered the collaborators to force the practitioner to watch slanderous DVD programes and share their "understandings."
