  • Chinese TV Series "Life is Innocent" Distorts the Facts - This is What Life at the Beijing Female Labour Camp is Really Like

    We heard the shocking news that the Party is premiering a TV series called Life is Innocent, to slander Falun Gong and to whitewash the persecution taking place in labour camps. We, a few of the tens of thousands of practitioners who were illegally detained at Beijing Female Labour Camp, the former Tiantanghe Labuor Camp or Xinan Labour Camp, can attest that the people who made the TV program are fabricating facts. Here we just want to tell the truth about life at the Beijing Female Labour Camp.

    Charles' fiancée said, "Chinese people love and respect their parents, and the worst thing for them is to see their elderly parents live in fear and desperation, worrying about their son.

    Meiqing's parents cried and said: "The child is not easy to take care of. He does not study hard. We are too old. What can we do if he is sick?" Xu Meiqing went forward and hugged her son. Her tears streamed down. Just because of her steadfast belief in "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance," Meiqing was imprisoned, suffered from torture, and was unable to take care of her elderly parents and young active child. Whose fault was it that her family experienced such persecution and hardship?

  • Shanghai "610 Office" Fails to Recruit Dafa Practitioner as Spy

    At the end of January my family had me released on bail. On the one hand, the police wanted to see who would make contact with me and thus discover the whereabouts of other practitioners. On the other hand, the police kept talking to me every two or three weeks, threatening me to get me to write the "letter of separation" and other letters against Falun Dafa, and they also hung onto the delusion that I would become their spy. But I kept a righteous mind and their plot failed.
  • Jealous Officials in Chengdu City Lead Police To Shoot at Dafa Practitioner

    Yang Yuanqiu, a Dafa practitioner from Shuangnian Village, Chengdu City, was the alternate supervisor of the village. Because Mr. Yang conducted himself according to the principles of "Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance" he was an upright official. The party secretary of another village and that village supervisor were jealous of Yang Yuanqiu and feared him because of his righteous behaviour. They were afraid that the fact that they embezzled over 100,000 Yuan would be exposed. (note: An average urban worker's monthly wage in China is about 500 Yuan) So they staged an action to frame Yang Yuanqiu.

He was unable to move one of his legs. Still, the police refused to stop the torture and abuse. They hit and kicked him every day. Because Song Xu refused to give in, the team leader called Pan poured salt and chili powder into Song's nose to induce further pain.
  • Dalian Detention Centre Detains and Persecutes Dafa Practitioner Mr. Lu Kaili

  • For Exposing Government Authorities' Illegal Conduct, My Husband, A Non-Practitioner, Was Brutally Beaten and Fired From His Job

    Because my husband was also a staff member of the police force, he knew that without legal evidence, the detention centre could only detain a person for a maximum of 15 days. The section chief of the Political and Security Section, Yang Jingping, cursed him profanely many times, saying, "I am the law! If I want to detain your wife till she dies, what can you do to me?" Even during the time when my husband was critically ill and till he passed away, they didn't allow me go home to take care of him.
  • Exposing the Evil in Baoding City Forced Labour Camp

    Falun Gong practitioners are forced to work up to 15 hours every day and fed only with low quality food. Occasionally the quality of the food improves, but this is only the case when people come to inspect the labour camp or when news reporters come for interviews. When those people arrive, the practitioners who courageously speak out to expose the evildoers in the camp are taken away and closely supervised, while a few carefully chosen former practitioners who turned against Dafa under torture are allowed to go out and sing praises of the labour camp.

This person had a wicked heart and was very rough. He used to hit Wang Bin and say: "I don't need to treat you as a human."
  • Conditions at Beijing's Tuanhe Forced Labour Camp During the Height of the SARS Panic

    As soon as the impetus of SARS weakened, the police returned to their former patterns of wrongdoing and began rampantly persecuting Dafa again. Some even challenged Dafa practitioners in a weird tone. Now they have started a new round of persecution. The patrol resumed; working hours have gone back to normal; extended brainwashing hours have resumed. Some even said that SARS did not cause large scale deaths and used this as a tool to threaten Dafa practitioners. Right now, determined Dafa practitioners are still harassed and persecuted in various ways.

Bai's mother-in-law is over seventy years old. She was terrified beyond description.
