The Facts of Persecution

The perpetrators in Tangshan City Forced Labor Camp are using inhumane methods to torture Dafa practitioners: slave labor, making them eat pig food, binding with ropes, beatings, electric batons, detention term extension, forcing practitioners to watch videos defaming Dafa, and forced brainwashing. Dafa practitioner Han Yaochun and Shi Wenge were mutilated to the point of losing human appearance. The rope marks on their bodies, the scars on their heads, and the bloodstains on their clothes all verify the evil nature of "educate, influence, save" in forced labor camps.

Huang Min, the assistant commissioner of Rural Enterprise Bureau, and Zhang Yaqun, the manager of Daily Necessity in Chengdu City are now illegally detained in Nanmusi Forced Labor Camp in the city of Zizhong for not giving up their practice of Falun Gong.

Dafa practitioner Gao Hui of Dengta City, Liaoning Province has been illegally arrested and brutally tortured many times. He once left home to avoid further persecution for more than ten months. On November 6, 2002, Gao Hui was illegally and heavily sentenced to ten years in prison. In January 2003, Gao Hui was illegally detained in Dabei Jail, Shenyang City, then transferred to Wafangdian Jail Training Center. Presently, Wafangdian Jail Training Centre is illegally detaining and persecuting more than 20 Falun Gong practitioners, all illegally given heavy sentences.

Guo Xiaoguang, the "610 Office" [an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems.] head of Aohan District, Chifeng city, Inner Mongolia has been using his power to apply pressure to every resident's committee and institutional company in order to cause the dismissal or wage reduction of all Dafa practitioners. Guo directed vicious people to brutally beat Dafa practitioners, confiscated their homes and fined them. During the 16^th National Party Congress, Guo assigned a large police force to wantonly kidnap Dafa practitioners, and tried to forcibly brainwash them. More than 400 practitioners were persecuted like this.

Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions

Overcome evil tribulations layer by layer, and firmly protect Dafa. I started to practice Falun Gong in August 1997. After July 20, 1999, I am firm in not giving up my practice. My husband is a policeman. He frequently tortured and railed me on this, and later he proposed a divorce, and brought false charges against Dafa on the prosecution statement. I validated Dafa in court, and eventually he admitted in front of the judge that he had to do so because of the implication policy [In ancient Chinese feudal society, there was an "implication law," which meant that if one person violated the law, all of his family members and friends would be punished. The punishment ranged from exile to the execution of entire families.] that high authority ordered.

On April 20, 2001, my workplace, "610 Office" and the local police station kidnapped me and took me to a brainwashing class. I, along with several fellow practitioners did not cooperate; we kept telling them the truth of the persecution, practicing the exercises and studying the literature of Falun Gong. I conducted a hunger strike to protest the persecution. They barbarically force-fed me, and causing me to have high fever, chest pains, and difficulty breathing. I was very clear in my mind: I had to leave. Meanwhile, my mother and younger brother persistently requested the brainwashing class manager to release me, and righteously and sternly condemned their illegally behavior. On August 31, 2001, I was released and returned to the immense force of Fa-rectification.
