Around noon on a day in March of 2002, I was having lunch with my family when several people broke into my home. They claimed that they worked for the 610 Office in Yanqing County, Beijing. They abducted me to the Yanqing Brainwashing Class where I suffered ruthless mental torture. I was forced to watch TV programs and listen to tapes that slandered Falun Gong and Teacher. They also tried to force us to denounce Falun Gong and Teacher and to step on Teacher's photo. I refused to do that. As a result, I was beaten into unconsciousness twice with wounds covering my body and I was unable to sleep at night.

People from the 610 Office told me, "The central government has given the order. Any practitioner who refuses to denounce Falun Gong or to be transformed will be sent to a labor camp. If they still refuse in the labor camp, they will be severely beaten. If death occurs, it will be reported as suicide. Nowadays it is the Chinese Communist Party that controls the power. If it says black, it is black. If it says white, then it is white. Anyone who refuses to denounce Falun Gong will never manage to come out of the labor camp alive. If you are not 'transformed,' you are dead."

All of the following I have either experienced or witnessed in the labor camp:

Because I refused to write a guarantee statement, I was sentenced to two years in a labor camp by Yanqing Public Security. I was detained at the Daxing County Tuanhe Labor Camp in Beijing. I suffered all kinds of brutal tortures, including being beaten, hung up, shocked with electric batons, forced to sit in awkward and painful positions and deprived of sleep. During the cold winter days the police incited ten criminals to pour cold water on me. I fainted immediately and fell to the ground. Upon regaining consciousness, two guards shocked me with high voltage electric batons. My body consequently jumped involuntarily.

I also witnessed the torture suffered by a female practitioner in her twenties. The police incited several drug addicts to tie her up to a bed. They then sat on her abdomen, chest, legs and arms and force-fed her with two bowls of salty water. Her abdomen immediately expanded to such an extent that it looked almost about to burst. Then they released her. She was unable to get up. Police then ordered one criminal to pull her up and leaned her against the wall. Another inmate ruthlessly kicked and stomped on her abdomen. Water gushed out from her mouth and nose and her abdomen was no longer expanded. They then force-fed her again and repeated the procedure of stomping on her. After several repetitions of this torture, the police ordered the inmates to tie her up to the bed for two days straight, during which they force-fed her once again. She was forced to relieve herself on the bed. On the third day when I saw her, she was mentally disorientated and did not say a word. She would not speak, and only stared at the wall motionlessly. Her face was covered with big lumps. On the fourth day, the vicious perpetrators transferred her to the second floor and escalated the torture. I heard that she died on the eleventh day. They notified her family that she carried on a hunger strike and died from stomach bleeding.

In Tuanhe Labor Camp, senior practitioners are still subjected to forced intense labor and routine army marches. I once saw an older woman unable to keep up the march. The police forced her to crawl forward anyways. Some practitioners suffered broken arms, and others' faces had thick burned skin as a result of electric shocks. It was truly miserable. When practitioners' families came to visit, the police would allow the practitioners to wash their clothes so that they appeared to be clean and well looked after. In order to cover up their crimes, they would allow practitioners to eat some vegetables, but they strictly monitored the conversation and never allowed any leakage of the torture. If anyone on the outside reported on their crimes, they would come down to each cell and ask who told the truth. Then they would escalate the torture of everyone.

The above is my own experience in a labor camp where I personally witnessed the torture of Falun Gong practitioners.

 These children live in misery. Their parents were either illegally sentenced to prison, placed in mental hospitals, or forced into homelessness because they practice Falun Gong. They have prematurely lost the care and nurturing only a parent can provide and now live a cold, bitter life.

Sixteen-year-Old Chen Yongzhu lives in Renhe District, Panzhihua City, Sichuan Province. When Yongzhu was two, his father left the world because of sickness. Since then he has lived with his mother, Chen Hequn. Because Hequn practiced Falun Gong, she was illegally arrested in 2003 and sentenced to seven and half years in prison. Deprived of maternal love, Yongzhu had to live alone.

Chen Hequn's work unit once threatened her with losing her job if she did not write a guarantee to not practice Falun Gong. She refused, lost her job and was given only 300 yuan a month for living expenses. After his mother was arrested, Yongzhu struggled to survive.

Wang Wei is 21, his younger brother is 17 and his younger sister Xiaoqin is only 9. They live in Dabaishui Village, Yanzhuang Town, Yuanping City, in Shanxi Province.

Wei's father, Wang Xinming, died of sickness in July 2001. Because she practiced Falun Gong, their mother Qi Qiaozhen, 45 years old, was taken from her home by police from the Yuanping municipal public security bureau on September 30, 2003. Given a 5-year sentence, Wei's mother is now imprisoned in the Yuci female prison.

After Qiaozhen's arrest, a good family was broken up. Unable to maintain a living, Wei had to take his younger brother with him to find temporary jobs in other areas. Currently his younger sister Wang Xiaoqin lives with their 70-year-old grandfather, Wang Huanru.

Shan Jie is Growing Up in Misery

Shan Jie, a 20-year-old youth, lives in Lingyuan, Liaoning Province and has grown up alone without parents to care for him.

Shan Jie's father, Shan Baogui, and mother, Huang Guimei, are Falun Gong practitioners. In October 1999, both of them went to the capital to appeal for Falun Gong. They were arrested for appealing for Falun Gong in Beijing, and later sent to a labor camp for two years.

In April 2002, Shan Baogui was forced to be destitute and become homeless. His mother was imprisoned in the second detention center at Lingyuan city and later committed to the Lingyuan municipal mental hospital.

Because his parents were persecuted continuously from the time he was fourteen, Shan Jie has grown up in misery. He depends mainly on his grandparents who are both over seventy years old. In September 2004, with the help of other relatives and friends, Shan Jie began his studies at a technical institute.

Information on Shan Jie's parents: Mr. Shan Baogui, 45, born on February 23, 1960, was on staff at Xiangdong Chemical Factory. He was dismissed in 1999 after being illegally put into a labor camp because he practiced Falun Gong. Ms. Huang Guimei, 44, was born on March 16, 1961 and worked at the scientific research institute of Xiangdong Chemical Factory. She was dismissed from the factory in August 2001.

 Ms. Dong Jingya, a building designer and a Falun Gong practitioner from Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, participated in rescuing fellow practitioner Ms. Gao Rongrong. She was arrested for her role in aiding Gao Rongrong, who was herself later arrested again, and tortured to death. Ms. Dong went on hunger strike to resist the persecution in Masanjia Labor Camp. So far, it has been nearly four months and she is now in critical condition. The authorities at Masanjia said Ms. Dong is still fasting and added, "Absolutely do not allow her to see visitors."

Late in July 2005, when someone who was concerned about her called the labor camp asking to visit Ms. Dong, a policeman surnamed Jiang, from the 1^st Group said: "She is not allowed to see any visitors--definitely no visitors." When Jiang heard that the caller had exposed the barbaric force-feeding, drug injections, and other persecution Ms. Dong and other Falun Gong practitioners in Masanjia had been forced to endure, and that the evildoers would be investigated in accordance with the law, he said: "You're threatening me," and quickly hung up the telephone.

In late July, a middle-aged policewoman said on the telephone: "We absolutely do not allow Dong Jingya to have visitors unless the visitor has a letter of introduction." After she learned that the visitor had a letter of introduction, she hurriedly changed her statement: "Even if you have a letter of introduction, it is absolutely not allowed! Absolutely not allowed!" Then the visitor asked the policewoman why she said so "absolutely." Was it because the persecution Ms. Dong had undergone had been exposed? The visitor told her that her conduct has been recorded and is on file. Evildoers will be judged according to heavenly principles and justice will be met. The policewoman lowered her voice to say: "If you want to see her, you must find the chief of the squad she was in." Then she said incoherently: "The duty chiefs take turns every several days." Then she hung up. The caller called back and nobody answered the phone.

At the beginning of July, the chief of the 1^st Group, Ren Hongzan (female in her 20s) said to Ms. Dong's family members over the telephone: "She is not in need of anything, but she is short of money for medical expenses. Send money! "

Masanjia refuses to disclose any news regarding Ms. Dong. We only know her health is extremely bad. As early as in June, the wicked doctor Cao Yujie inserted a tube into her mouth to feed her and had her tied to an iron bed where she injected her with six bottles of drugs every day. She was sent many times to a "medical university" and to Masanjia Labor Camp hospital to be "rescued".

Ms Dong graduated from Shenyang Architectural Engineering College in 1994. She was engaged in architectural design work at the Liaoning Provincial Construction Design Institute. She worked diligently and had a professional attitude. In 1997, she started to practice Falun Gong. She benefited very much from the practice both in body and mind. After the persecution began, she was compelled to be destitute and homeless for three to four years. On March 6, 2005, she was illegally arrested by Shenyang Municipal Security Group. She was detained in the 2^nd Station for women in Masanjia Labor Camp where she fasted about three months to protest the persecution. She once had gastroesophageal reflux and vomited, she could not see things clearly, her kidneys failed, her cardiac muscles lacked sufficient blood, and she exhibited various other serious symptoms.

 The police in the labor camp of Ping'antai in Lanzhou City, Gansu Province persecuted Falun Gong practitioners by using torture to force them to give up their practice. The torture method of "Five Horses Pulling the Body Apart" was used in medieval times to execute the prisoner. This torture method tied each of the prisoner's limb to one horse and five horses pulled his limbs and head to five different directions. During the winter of 2003, the police adopted a similar method to torture practitioner Mr. Wang Fulong by handcuffing his wrists to the two top rails of the bunk bed with his body hanging in the air for 7 consecutive days and nights.

The Ping'antai labor camp held its Annual Winter Exercise Display during the winter season. The officials from the Provincial Labor Camp Committee came to watch. At the scene, Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Wang Fulong from the Pingliang region shouted out loud, "Falun Gong is good." All of the people in the area were shocked.

The political instructor from the 2nd Group, Zhang Zhizhong, the political instructor of the Squadron, Wei Haihua, and the Squadron Commander, Hu Shuailin, immediately took Mr. Wang back to the 2nd Group. They tied him with ropes and beat him. Then they ordered all of the other inmates in the labor camp to beat him. The three of them also used two pairs of "wolf teeth cuffs" to handcuff his left and right wrists to the top rails of the bunk beds. They then pulled the beds in opposite directions. This is similar to the torture method called "Five Horses Pulling the Body Apart," which was used in medieval executions. Mr. Wang's body was left hanging in the air.

The inmates in the labor camp were all shocked by such ruthless torture. However, Mr. Wang did not yield, nor did he utter a word despite the severe pain.

Then, Mr. Chen Gang, another Falun Gong practitioner from Tianshui, also shouted "Falun Gong Hao" (Falun Gong is good). He was immediately taken to the group office. The three police officers, Wei Haihua, Si Guojun and Jing Wenchun severely beat him until he lost consciousness. His body was covered with blood. He was then carried back to his area. His face was extremely distorted and he could not lower his chin for two months. Two practitioners, Mr. Chen Gang and Mr. Wang Shukun, went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution.

Practitioner Mr. Wang Fulong was hung in the air for 7 days and 7 nights. During this period, the three police officers Hu Shuailin, Bian Yunsheng and Hu Jiguang got drunk and brutally beat Mr. Wang. The swinging of his body back and forth in the air was a very terrifying scene. Yan Jirong, a drug addict in the labor camp, could no longer bear to watch such brutality, so he pulled the bunk beds together a bit. In retaliation, officer Hu Shuailin cruelly kicked him and used his elbows to injure Yan's waist. As a result of his injuries, Yan Jirong couldn't work for two days. At 2:00 a.m., officer Hu Shuailin rallied the inmates and called out their names. Anyone who was slow in responding was given a savage beating. Mr. Chen Gang, who had been on a hunger strike for 6 days, was badly beaten. Hu Shuailin assembled the inmates and then dismissed them; he assembled them again, and dismissed them again. He employed this extreme behavior to terrorize the practitioners.

Police officers Wei Haihua and Hu Shuailin came to speak to the two practitioners, Mr. Chen and Mr. Wang, after the seventh day of their hunger strike. Mr. Chen and Mr. Wang insisted that the torture of Mr. Wang end as a precondition of their stopping their hunger strike.

The determined protest by Mr. Chen Gang and Mr. Wang Shukun forced instructor Wei Haihua to accept their request. Although he loosened the torture instrument on Mr. Wang, the police did not let Wang sleep on the last day. This barbaric torture of Mr. Wang, which lasted 7 days and 7 nights, resulted in his inability to move his arms and hands for half a year. He could not tend to his daily needs without the help of others during this time.

 The former Wangcun Forced Labor Camp in Zibo City, Shandong Province has now been renamed to No. 2 Re-education Center of Shandong Province.

Since July 20, 1999, the 2nd Re-education Center of Shandong Province has been following Jiang's regime and persecuting Falun Gong practitioners severely. I want to expose the inhumane persecution that I have personally witnessed here.

1. Mou Zuguang, an employee at Tangjiapo Silk Factory, Qixia City, Shandong Province and Wang Guiwei, from Qixia City, Shandong Province

Due to their steadfast belief in Falun Gong, they have been persecuted by the police. They were not allowed to sleep for more than nine months. The police watched them at all turns, and did not allow them to go to the washroom. The police handcuffed them and hung them on the window frame, without any part of their bodies touching the floor. They were tortured for a long time by being shocked with electric batons and beaten until they suffered mental disorders. They were not able to speak when released.

2. Zhuang Qi, an employee at the Special Transit Group, Frontier North Community, Boxing, Team 29, Transit Group 8, Shengli Petroleum Administrative Bureau

Because he did not want to give up his belief in Falun Gong, the police incited some collaborators to beat him every day so that he had wounds all over his body. The wicked people sometimes put cups on his chest then hit him through the cups. He was not allowed to sleep or go to the washroom. The police used various torture methods to torture him in the Strict Monitoring Room, such as shocking him with electronic batons and inserting cigarette butts into his nostrils. The scenes were too inhumane to look at.

3. Che Qicong, an employee at the Electricity Plant of Dezhou, Shandong Huaneng Group

Because of being steadfast in his beliefs, Che Qicong was severely tortured by the police, led by the Head, Zhao. He was not allowed to sleep for a long time. He once escaped from the re-education center, but was arrested and persecuted again.

4. Sun Zhonghua, a student at Normal College of Zaozhuang, Shandong Province

He did not want to give up his cultivation, so Wang Li and other policemen sealed his lips with tape and slapped him on the face and hands with slippers. Sometimes he was beaten and not allowed to sleep for a long time. He suffered from other types of torture as well.

5. Zhao Youqiang, from Retired Military Officials' Residence, Tai'an City, Shandong Province and Zhang Lianbin, Convenience Store, No. 71770 Troop, Laiwu City, Shandong Province

These two practitioners persisted in their belief in Falun Gong, so they were tortured by being handcuffed and hung from the roof beams. Their bodies were hung in the air, and the skin of their wrists was torn and broken.

6. Wang Chengfu, from Xiajiazhuang Village, Sucun Town, Yinan County, Linyi District, Shandong Province

Because he did not want to give up practicing Falun Gong, Mr. Wang has been tortured by the police for a long period of time. He was not allowed to sleep or go to the washroom for several months. One night after midnight, a policeman walked into his cell and saw the collaborators beating him. He had wounds all over his body. The policeman sat down and took out his lighter to burn Mr. Wang's lips and face.

7. Pu Qinjin, an employee of Work Group 3, Gudong Oil Plant, Hekou District, Dongying City, Shandong Province

He has been tortured at the evil place since he was first detained there. Policemen Wang Li, Wang Jun, Wang Dayong, and others beat Mr. Pu severely under the wicked leaders Zhao and Zhang. Mr. Pu was not allowed to sleep, go to bathroom as he wished, or to have enough food and water. Pu Jinqin has been tortured to be unable to speak.

8. Zhao Liming, from Zhujiazhang Village, Gucheng Town, Shouguang City, Shandong Province

In order to make him give up his beliefs, the policemen at the forced labor camp have tortured Mr. Zhao with all kinds of inhumane methods. Once, he was beaten unconscious and was sent to the emergency room. The policemen still watched him closely in the hospital. When he was released after two years the police forced his family to pay for the hospital fees and food when he was hospitalized because of the torture.

Zhao Liming was reported to the police when he was clarifying the truth to others, and unlawfully sent to the forced labor camp again on July 28, 2005.

9. Man Jun, from Xuemei Village, No. 2 Rencheng District, Jining City, Shandong Province

His whole family lived happily after started practicing Falun Gong. After the persecution started, his brother-in-law, also a practitioner, was beaten and force-fed, which caused his death. Mr. Man has also been tortured with inhumane methods. For example, the persecutors broke his head open with a chair. Once he said "Falun Gong is Good" aloud in the center, which stunned everyone and threatened the evil. The policemen the dragged him to the Strict Monitoring Room and shocked him with many electric batons. The skin on his body, his thighs, his face, and his lips was all burned.

10. Wang Xinwen, from Chijiagou Village, Buyudian Town, Laiyang City, Shandong Province

The police did not allow him to sleep or to go to the washroom. He was tortured such that his body was full of wounds and his head was bleeding. His eyes were so swollen that he could not see. Once the group head, Zhao, the director of Education and transformation Office, Han, policemen, Wang Dayong, Wang Yusheng, and other policemen brought Wang Xinwen to the Strict Monitoring Room. They stripped Mr. Wang and pressed him to the floor, while cuffing his hands to a chair. The Group Head, Zhang, beat Mr. Wang with his fists and legs. Wang Yongsheng was very brutal and he hit Mr. Wang on the nose. The persecutors also shocked him with multiple electric batons on the ribs, hands, feet, and inside the thigh until the batons ran out of electricity. The police also tried to make him give in by hurting his ribs, battering him with iron chairs, and kicking him with leather shoes. It is said that Zhao Yufeng, a collaborator from the same town, followed the persecutors and tortured Mr. Wang. The collaborator only allowed Mr. Wang to wear a shirt on cold winter days, and he told others that he ruined a pair of new leather shoes by kicking Mr. Wang.

One night, policeman Wang Yunsheng would not allow Mr. Wang to sleep. Mr. Wang's legs were swollen badly, but Wang Yunsheng and the other policemen on duty hit him many times on the legs. Each time he was beaten, the pain made Mr. Wang sweat profusely. Even during the Spring Festival, the wicked persecutors would not leave him in peace. Someone saw the police beating Mr. Wang on the eve of the Spring Festival. People often see Mr. Wang being taken to the Strict Monitoring Room.

After he went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution, the policemen took him back to the group. They saw the police put a white plastic helmet on his head, handcuff him, and three or four policemen on duty beside him. His body was thin and emaciated.

During the SARS epidemic in 2004, the labor camp was closed and the persecution increased in the isolated center. Under Han, the director of the Education and Transformation Office, policeman Wang Li and others took Mr. Wang to a place that no one could see and beat him, trying to make him give up his beliefs. After the policemen got tired of beating him, they let the collaborators continue the torture. Mr. Wang was wounded all over his body, his toenails fell off and blood flowed everywhere. In the meantime, all the prisoners were working upstairs and could hear the policemen's swearing and the slapping and continuous beating. Everyone's heart was worried, and nobody talked. Rather, they listened closely. It was so quiet that breathing could be heard. Later, when people saw Mr. Wang, he was crippled, and there was blood all over his face and hands. His body was so swollen that people could not even recognize him. However, the evil persecutors were unable to "transform" him even with such brutal torture.

The torture that has happened to Mr. Wang in the past two years is much more severe than what is described above. In the end, he was unable to talk. It is said that the police did not allow him to sleep for four or five months, day and night, and did not allow him to use the bathroom. Because he was strictly monitored and handcuffed, he could only excrete the waste in his pants, for which he would receive more beating. Due to the long-term torture, Mr. Wang started to suffer a mental disorder. The center took him to the Jinan Mental Hospital and he was diagnosed with mental illness. He was then released to go home. The police called his family to come and pick him up, but his family was unwilling to do so. The director of the Education and Transformation Office, policeman Wang Dayong, and a few others then brought him home. It is said that the policemen wanted to force the family to pay for the check-up fees, meals and other hospital related expenses. However, no one was at Mr. Wang's home when the police arrived in the village. They had no choice but to send him to his mother's. Mr. Wang's mother is more than eighty years old and is paralyzed. She burst into tears when she saw her son. He could not hear or answer her, no matter how loudly she cried his name.

There are still more people being persecuted.

 According to information from inside sources, a few months before July 20, 2005, more than 50 practitioners in Jinyang City were arrested. They were detained in detention centers in various cities and counties. So far, two of them have been released, some are serving terms in forced labor camps, and others are in brainwashing centers.

Before July 20, 2005, every police station, residential association and some practitioners' work places joined together in taking practitioners to brainwashing centers under the pretense of wanting to talk with practitioners, going through formalities, etc. As a result, many practitioners have been forced to leave home to avoid further persecution. The following is information on practitioners who have been illegally detained.

Ms. Pan Qifen, in her 50s, is from Zitong County of Jinyang City. The police arrested her on her way to work around May 2005. They searched her home. Although they did not find anything, they still threatened and coerced Ms. Pan to admit that she passed out truth-clarifying materials. Her relatives were extorted about 10,000 yuan by the police. The police told her relatives that Ms. Pan would be released, but instead they sentenced her to 2 years of forced labor.
