  • The Atrocities Committed at the Xishanping Forced Labour Camp in Chongqing

    On November 23, 2001, the Chinese Ministry of Justice held a meeting in Haikou City, Hainan Province. The main topic of the meeting was how to force the Falun Gong practitioners held in either the prisons or the forced labour camps to renounce their belief in Falun Dafa. The Deputy Head of the Education Division of the Xishanping Forced Labour Camp shouted at a meeting to all the entire detainees "We will take strong measures to resolutely strike those Falun Gong practitioners who refuse to renounce their beliefs and are unwilling to reform themselves."
  • Practitioners Tortured in Jiutai Labour Camp

    Guards at the Jiutai Labour Camp in Jilin Province have been cruelly persecuting Falun Gong practitioners since they began detaining them. To the outside, they claimed that their policy was "Education, Reform, and Salvation," however they were actually following the policies of Jiang. Namely, "It doesn't matter if you kill a Falun Gong practitioner," and "those who are killed can be counted as suicide." Since March 2004, guards at the labour camp have also been fabricating documents and cheating practitioners because authorities there agreed to pay them 400 Yuan for "reforming" a practitioner.
  • The Persecution of Falun Dafa Practitioners in Zhejiang Province

    Mr. Ji Jianwei, a Falun Gong practitioner, was formerly a policeman in Huzhou City Police Station. Because Mr. Ji practises Falun Gong, he was detained at Huzhou City Detention Centre on criminal charges. Since Mr. Ji was a policeman himself, many policemen in the detention centre knew him. They all wondered why an outstanding policeman who used to catch all kinds of criminals was detained there. So the "610 Office" purposely transferred Mr. Ji to a detention centre in Changxing. He suffered many kinds of torture and intensive forced-labour there.
  • Practitioner Chen Weiyuan's Account of the Atrocities She Witnessed in the Heizuizi Labour Camp

    My name is Chen Weiyuan. I am 53 years old. I live in Jilin City. I have been arrested many times for helping the public learn the truth. I was put in Heizuizi Forced Labour Camp three times and suffered a lot from the many tortures imposed on Falun Gong practitioners. I also witnessed other practitioners being tortured. I experienced some memory loss because of the overwhelming trauma to my head and brain. Only after I left the labour camp and recovered for a long time, did my memory begin to recover.
  • Persecution and Retribution

    At the front of the parade was a Falun Gong practitioner carrying a sign that bore the large-sized Chinese character for “Mourning.” It was solemn and heartrending . As I watched the female practitioners attired in long, snow-white dresses, holding photos of the Falun Gong practitioners that had been tortured to death by the police in China, tears welled up in my eyes. All the people in the pictures were beaming with a glow of kindness. You could tell that they were not only innocent and law-abiding civilians, but also honest and trustworthy people.
  • Mother of Child Less than One Month Old Is Illegally Imprisoned

    My name is Lu Yanna, and I am a Falun Gong practitioner. Because my husband Diao Xihui and I persisted in our belief in Truthfulness - Compassion - Tolerance, appealed according to the law and clarified the facts of Falun Gong, we have suffered from persecution. Now, we are imprisoned illegally and have lost our personal freedom, so I am unable to take care of my less than one-month daughter, Shanshan, in person and have been forced to hand over Shanshan to my husband's mother for foster care.
  • Tragedy in the Classroom -- The Attack on the Chinese Educational System Resulting From the Persecution Policies By Jiang and His Followers Against Falun Gong (I)

    In the beginning of 2004, Jiang Zemin encouraged his confidant, Chen Zhili, the current Secretary of the Department of Education, to start a campaign throughout the nation's educational system under the slogan, "Fight the XX (slanderous words omitted) and Alert the Educational System!" Chen Zhili created the slogan, "Fight the XX," to defame Falun Gong. This is the second time that Jiang and his followers have attempted to poison and corrupt Chinese youth since 2001, when they conducted the "One Million Signature" campaign to attack Falun Gong.

Since I began following the principles of Falun Dafa, my teachers, parents and my classmates recognized me as a good student, a good son, and a good classmate. At the end of July 1999, I went to appeal for Falun Gong in Beijing. I was sent to the Changping Detention Centre. I was burned by a policeman with a lit cigarette on my wrist, which left three marks."

  • A Young Practitioner from Shandong Province: Please Help to Rescue My Mum

    My name is Chen Teng, and I am 16 years old. I live in Weifang City, Shandong Province. My family was broken up simply because they remained determined to practise Falun Gong, the practice which brought us such happiness. My grandma, who was an outstanding teacher and my aunt who was also a teacher both died as a result of the persecution. My mum, Sun Xiaomei was arrested many times and now is in detention again. As for myself, I can't go to school any more and I was forced to leave my home when I was 12 years old.
  • The Story Behind the Tragic Death of Dafa Practitioner Ms. Wu Lingxia and the Brutal Retaliation Against those Who Published Her Photo

    She was unable to lie down day or night and could only lean against something for a moment. Even in this condition, the local police still came to harass her. I feel all these facts must be documented to let the world know. Someone who had been healthy in body and spirit, a good and kind soul, had been persecuted to such a deplorable condition, and only because she practiced Falun Dafa. This is the truth that will expose the lies told to the world.
  • Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) Breaks Out in Sichuan Province -- Corrupt Government Officials Shirk Duties and Continue the Persecution of Falun Gong

    At the end of February 2004, Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD, an animal disease) broke out in 18 towns and townships of Qu County in Dazhou City of Sichuan Province. The local Government concealed the epidemic, totally disregarding the severe FMD plague and continued to waste much manpower and resources to defame and persecute Falun Gong. Qu County is the most notorious county for persecuting Falun Gong in Dazhou City. Qu County is the first county in which a Falun Gong practitioner was persecuted to death in Dazhou City.
  • Over 70 Sichuan Province Teachers Dismissed from Their Jobs Because They Practise Falun Dafa

    In 2003 over 70 teachers, who admitted to being Falun Dafa practitioners were dismissed from their jobs in Dazhu County, Sichuan Province. During the second term in 2003, the "610 Office" threatened the teachers with "suspension or dismissal from their posts" and forced the 70 teachers who practise Falun Dafa to attend a government brainwashing programme. They were told that they could not return to teaching until they completed the brainwashing programme and renounced their belief in Falun Dafa. The teachers all possess excellent academic credentials and teaching skills.
  • The Persecution of Female Falun Gong Practitioners Reflects the Moral Depravity of Jiang and His Accomplices

    During the past five years, Jiang Zemin and his political group's genocidal persecution of Falun Gong has been especially shocking as it has been applied to female practitioners. The torture and degradation inflicted upon female practitioners is a crime of state terrorism. It symbolises the Jiang group's complete moral deterioration. This has brought profound harm to the Chinese people.
  • Falun Dafa Turns a Bully into a Kind Man but Jiang's Regime then Imprisons Him

    Many people in Yupin County of Guizhou Province know Mr. Zhao Youde. The changes he showed after beginning Falun Dafa practice are so touching that the officers in the police station also admire him. When Jiang's regime began persecuting Falun Gong, Zhao Youde was illegally arrested and has been cruelly persecuted by Jiang's regime. He was locked up and told he would be detained for eight years. Zhao Youde's parents died one after the other, grieving over such wrongs, and having nowhere to appeal for their son's innocence.
