News from China

The Yaojia Detention Center in Dalian City, Liaoning Province has been brutally mistreating Dafa practitioners on hunger strikes for a long period of time. They never remove the force-feeding tubes from practitioners' stomachs after forcing them in, causing the practitioners unbearable pain. Two practitioners died as a result of this abuse. Li Zhongmin was locked up in an extremely hot room in the basement of a ballroom. He was subjected to tortures such as the "tiger bench" (One is forced to sit on a small iron bench with his knees tightly tied to it. One has to sit straight up with his eyes looking straight ahead. His hands are tied behind his back or sometimes placed on his knees. He is not allowed to turn his head, close his eyes, talk to anyone, raise his hand, or call out for the attention of the guards.) and "Cuffed and hung up" (With both hands cuffed, both feet off or only toes touching the ground, one is hung onto the backboard of a basketball hoop or the beam of a house by one's handcuffs. The hands and arms will soon become numb.) Later, Li was force-fed brutally and is now in critical condition.

The Chatou Labor Camp in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province punished all the practitioners who practiced the Dafa exercises and sent forth righteous thoughts. They put practitioners in shackles and asked them to stand motionlessly for a long time. When Practitioners protested their illegal detention with a hunger strike, however, the guard said, "Even if there is someone who dies here on the spot, I still will not allow you to practice the exercises." Now the thugs are using various means to attempt to brainwash practitioners. Many practitioners have had their terms extended another year.

Persons in the Hunan Province Shayang Forced Labor Camp brutally torture and humiliated me, then forced me to do slave labor and write "guarantee" statements (saying that I regret I ever practiced Falun Gong, that I will never go to Beijing to appeal, that I will not associate with fellow Falun Gong practitioners and that I will give up the practice of Falun Gong). They also forcibly brainwashed me. I suffered all kinds of inhuman abuses and military training. I almost passed out from doing the heavy labor. In addition, I was mentally tortured at night.

Open Forum

The persecution of Falun Gong and "anti-China" sentiments: Xinhua News Agency uses the "sensitive" word "anti-China" [in connection with Falun Gong] as a "lifesaving straw" to justify the persecution, while the slander of Falun Gong and the brutal tortures of Falun Gong practitioners are the true anti-China acts, because what the media slanders is the essence of Chinese culture! What it destroys is the moral standard, "Truth, Compassion, Tolerance" that has silently and in boundless ways improved the Chinese people in a short seven-year period.

Practitioners Exchange Insights

Humans are not able to influence divine beings: My experience of rectifying the Fa in the detention center. I was kidnapped by the police and sent to a detention center. Letting go of life and death, I did not cooperate with any evil. No matter what they tried to do such as insert tubes in my nose, pry my mouth open, or give me injections, they were unable to influence me. After going on hunger strike for 13 days, I was released unconditionally. Going through this enlightened me on two points: We should always consider ourselves as divine beings, such that the human's persecution will not work. Do not cooperate with evil under any circumstances, and do not be afraid of the wicked ruffians.

Using short news, electronic cards, FLASH as well as English email to clarify the truth of Falun Dafa to the Mainland China students. The students in Mainland China are poisoned the deepest. They have few chances to contact the outside world and thus are deeply influenced by the deceiving media. Being young and naive, they are very easily deceived by the political gang of scoundrel. Some of them think that Falun Gong practitioners do not love their own country. Therefore, we can start with the concept of patriotism by listing the false concepts of patriotism and the corresponding grave consequences about the Japanese invading China and the nazis committing genocide.
