Exposing the Evil Persecution

A list of some of the crimes committed by the police in the No. 3 Team at the Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp, Changchun City includes beatings, hanging people up with handcuffs, shocking them with high voltage electric batons, subjecting practitioners to long terms in small cells, and tying people on the "dead person's bed" [this torture technique is used to torture practitioners who have gone on hunger strike to protest their mistreatment and illegal detention. Practitioners who are on hunger strike are tied to the "dead person's bed" so that their hands and feet can't move. Jail guards and prisoners then attempt to force-feed through the nose. The guards and prisoners are often untrained in such a procedure, resulting in the death of multiple practitioners. See http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2001/11/24/16156.html under "dead person's bed"]. Falun Dafa practitioner Yang Hong was handcuffed in a refrigerated storage room for more than 20 days, and the police continued to use electric batons to shock her repeatedly. However, Yang Hong remains steadfast in her cultivation of Falun Dafa. The thugs torturing Yang Hong are policemen Jin Lihua, Wang Xiaolan, Wang Lina, Zan Wei, and Wang Lihua.

A 13-year-old Dafa practitioner went to Tiananmen Square to help with the Fa- rectification and was arrested. This young practitioner witnessed the horrible living hell of Shijingshan Jail, Beijing. The police regularly beat Falun Dafa practitioners as part of their daily routine. One constantly hears the terrible cries of people being beaten. A vicious jail doctor gives injections, causing the victims tremendous suffering. After a period of time in jail, this young practitioner walked out of the den of evil using his righteous thoughts.

The vicious police at Nanping City Police Department, Fujian Province uses torture to extort confessions. The policemen beat and kicked Dafa practitioners. They violently kicked the practitioners' legs, buttocks and sides with hard leather boots, and they also brutally punched practitioners in the face. Even some of the policemen couldn't stand such a cruel scene and walked out quietly. Huang Mingfeng, the deputy chief of the city politics and security section claimed, "If you don't confess, I'll beat you to death, or I'll drag you outside and bury you alive."

Group Discussion

My wife once had a malignant stomach tumor. She went to all kinds of hospitals and was told that if she had an operation, she might not be able to walk away from the operating table. In May 1996, my wife said, "I practiced Falun Gong and was cured. You should also practice it." I knew she abstained from cigarettes and alcohol, so I said, "I'll practice if it can make my stomach hurt when I smoke." That was exactly what happened. I was totally convinced by the great power of Dafa.

Comments from a non-practitioner: "Do the Chinese people have the ability to stop the next "Cultural Revolution?" The previous decade-long Cultural Revolution has already provided evidence on that point. Today, we are so numb from facing injustice that we are actually waiting for the next one. Tomorrow you and I may encounter the tribulations being faced by millions of Falun Gong practitioners today.

In a letter to the elders and brethren in her hometown, a jailed practitioner wrote, "I have been detained for 14 months in the Jiamusi Detention Center and will be transferred to the Harbin Female Prison soon. I am a good person who cultivates 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.' What should I be transformed into? If I practice Dafa, I will be sentenced to jail, but if I don't, I will be released. Is such blatant persecution normal?"

Summary of News from China

Clearwisdom has received 129 solemn declarations today. Under the vicious, forced brainwashing and high pressure Falun Gong practitioners have had to endure in China, all words and actions that they spoke or performed inconsistent with the principles of Dafa are null and void. In the future, these practitioners will make more efforts to make up for the losses they caused by clarifying the truth to people so as to stay with Teacher's Fa-rectification process. Hebei Province has become the most water-deficient province nationwide. On March 15, a heavy wind and sand storm blew forcefully over Zhangjiakou City. Lawless officers in Hebei Province have brutally persecuted practitioners, and at least 37 Dafa disciples have been killed while in police custody. Some officers have already received retribution for their criminal actions: numerous officers have been prosecuted, 6 labor camp officers were arrested and jailed, and one was removed from his post. None of these incidents were accidental.
