The
genocidal policies used against this group of kind people are:
“Damaging
Falun Gong practitioners’ reputation, bankrupting them financially and destroying
them physically”
“No one will be held responsible if Falun Gong practitioners
are beaten to death, just count them as suicide”
“No investigation is needed,
just have them cremated.”
More than a hundred methods of ruthless torture:
Long
period of continuous electric shock with high-voltage electric batons, handcuffing
with “wolf teeth cuffs”, forced feeding, tying practitioners on the “Dead person’s
bed”, sexual abuse, “pressing bed board”, water dungeon, merciless beating, freezing,
exposing practitioners under the scorching sun, “Tiger
Bench“, injecting large quantity of drugs to damage central nerve system,
piercing iron nails into practitioners’ fingertips, forced abortion, tying
a practitioner to the rear of a vehicle and driving the vehicle fast, slave labor,
depriving practitioners of sleep for several weeks in a row, electric needle with
extremely high intensity and so on and so forth…
Tortures are commonly
used against Falun Gong practitioners, especially those who refuse to give up
their belief in Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance. Even senior citizens, teenage
girls and breastfeeding mothers are not able to escape from the tortures.
Electric Shock

“electric shock” suffered by fellow practitioners in China |
Electric batons are most commonly used by police officers and jail
guards in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. They use electric batons that
carrying voltages as high as 300,000 volts to shock practitioners’ sensitive
areas and private parts including: mouth, root of the ear, center of the palms,
center of the bottom of the feet, genitals, and breasts. Sometimes they even use
several electric batons to simultaneously shock practitioners.
Ms. Gao Rongrong
suffered from a 7-hour continuous electric shock and her face was disfigured
Ms.
Gao Rongrong, 36 years old, was a staff member in the financial division of Lu
Xun Art College in Shenyang City. She was shocked with electric batons for 7 consecutive
hours and her face was seriously disfigured. Now her life is at the verge of death.
Burning Practitioners Bodies With Red Hot Objects

The torture “burning”: This torture
is extremely cruel. Many practitioners have been burned by police officers or
jail guards with cigarettes, which left their faces full of burned black scars.
What extremely cruel was that some vicious police officers even deliberately burned
young pretty female Falun Gong practitioners to disfigure their faces.
This
form of torture includes using cigarette lighters to burn practitioners’
faces (even to burn their eyebrows off), their chins, hands, thighs, or private
parts.
At other times, specially made iron bars are heated in burning charcoal
until they become red-hot. They are then used to burn practitioners’ chests
and thighs.
Guangdong Practitioner Mr. Tan Yongjie Suffers from 13 3rd
Degree Burns, Injuries Reaching Deep into the Muscles
Mr.
Tan Yongjie, a Falun Gong practitioner from Guangdong Province was tortured and
suffered from more than 10 burns on his legs. He fled to the U.S. and is saved
from death. Doctors in Houston diagnosed that his13 wounds were 3rd
degree burns. The injuries reached deep into the muscles. Even two months later
after the torture he suffered, his wounds were still too grisly to look at. Doctors
placed a skin graft on the wounds that were too big and too deep to heal themselves.
Force-feeding
that Is Devastating in Nature
Force-feeding
is a brutal torture method in the name of humanitarianism, aiming at coercing
practitioners who suffer from this torture to give up their belief in Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance.
Practitioners are force-fed with concentrated salt water, sticky corn syrup, pepper
juice and water, Irritant medicine, high-proof liquor, detergent, urine, and excrement,
and so on. In order to prevent Falun Gong practitioners from resisting force-feeding,
almost all practitioners on hunger strike are tightly tied with different kinds
of torture instruments to restrict their bodies’ movement. For instances,
practitioners are tied with ropes, heavy shackles, or their hands are cuffed from
their back, and they wear “Tank hats” on their heads to restrict the movement
of their heads.
A Successful Businesswoman Suffered from Brutal Force-feeding
Ms.
Wang Yuzhi was a successful businesswoman. Her stubborn illnesses were completely
cured from her practice of Falun Gong. Because she refused to give up her practice
of Falun Gong and refused to stop clarifying the truth of Falun Gong, she had
been illegally imprisoned three times. During her detention at the Wanjia Labor
Camp in Heilongjiang Province, she received brutal force-feeding. The cruel torture
almost made her lose her eyesight and her life was on the verge of death.
About 100 Falun Gong Practitioners Died from Force-feeding
According
to available statistics, about 100 Falun Gong practitioners have died from force-feeding.
They are: Xiao Liya, Gu Xiuxian, Liu Xiaoling, Wu Baowang, Liu Guiying, Tan Chengqiang,
Guo Meisong, and Kong Deyi from Heilongjiang Province; Han Yuzhu, Wang Xianyou,
Han Cuiyuan, Li Shuqin, Jiang Shulan, and Liu Hong from Jilin Province; Liu Xuguo
from Shangdong Province; Gao Xianmin from Guangdong Province; Mei Yulan from Beijing;
Zhao Dongmei and Li Huiwen from Shanxi Province; and Li Weihong from Shanghai
and so on…
“Dead Person’s Bed”
A practitioner demonstrating the torture of “Dead person’s
bed”
“Dead person’s bed” is also called “stretching bed”. It is used to
torture Falun Gong practitioners who are on hunger strike or those who refuse
to give up their practice of Falun Gong. When practitioners on hunger strike are
tightly tied on the “dead person’s bed”, their hands and legs are unable
to move. Then the jail guards and criminal inmates surround practitioners to force-feed
practitioners through their noses. Many practitioners died from this torture.
Yoko
Kaneko Had Once Been Tied on “Dead Person’s Bed” for Consecutive 20 Days
and Endured All Kinds of Inhuman Tortures
Falun
Gong practitioner Ms. Yoko Kaneko, wife of a Japanese man had been cuffed on a
“dead person’s bed” for as long as 20 days in a row. Her hands and feet were
so tightly cuffed and shackled, that her wrists bled. She was force-fed and was
not allowed to use restroom. Instead, a catheter was forcibly inserted into her
urethra. When she was released from the bed, she was already on the verge of death.
Her entire body felt numb and was unable to move. The skin on her back was festering.
The sleep deprivation and forced brainwashing caused her blood pressure to rise
and she nearly lost her eyesight.
Sexual Abuse
| 
|
|
| Torture
aiming at female practitioners: Sexual insult |
One of the torture methods against young female
practitioners: Press with force their lower part of body. |
The inhuman persecution of female
Falun Gong practitioners makes people boil with anger. The vicious police officers
use electric batons to shock their breasts, nipples and private parts. They even
inserted an electric baton into female practitioners’ vaginas, and don’t
let off unmarried female practitioners. Police officers or jail guards raped and
gang raped female practitioners. They stripped off female practitioners’
clothes and threw them into male cells. Some practitioners were raped on streets…
Female
Falun Gong Practitioners Were Stripped off Naked and Threw into cells with male
inmates
In June 2000, at Masanjia Force Labor Camp in Shenyang City,
18 female Falun Gong practitioners were stripped off naked and threw into cells
with male inmates.
Drawing
above illustrates that a female practitioner is stripped off all clothes and she
is hung and beaten.
Female Graduate Student Was Raped by Police Officers
in front of Other Inmates
On the evening of May 13, 2003, Ms. Wei Xingyan,

above three photos were taken nine days later after the incident.
Pressing
Bedboard
 |  |
| A
practitioner demonstrating being tightly tied and then put under a bed which is
pressed down by heavy objects or by people who sat on it and exerted forces. |
Pressing bedboard is a method of torture used in brainwashing classes
and forced labor camps against Falun Gong practitioners who refuse to give up
their belief. This method of torture is extremely brutal. Police officers or jail
guards first tightly tied a practitioner’s feet and legs and tied his/her
hands behind the back. Then they tightly tied that practitioner’s neck and
legs together, which almost choked the practitioner. After that, they shoved the
practitioner under a bed and sat on the bed or used forces to press down the bedboard,
which forced down on the practitioner’s back and could almost crush the practitioner’s
bones. Long period torture of this kind can severely injure the victim.
| 
|
| Mr.
Chen Gang who was rescued from China and came to the U.S. is accepting interviews. |
Chen Gang, was the logistic manager at the Carlsberg Brewery in Beijing.
He was subjected to the torture of “pressing bedboard”. Jail guards ordered more
than 10 criminal inmates to beat him, until his face was unrecognizable. After
they beat him up, they tied his legs and feet tightly, and his arms were tied
behind his back. Then the criminal inmates tied his neck so tightly to his legs
that it almost suffocated him. After they tied him up, they shoved him under a
wooden bed and had more and more people sit on top to press down his back. He
felt his bones close to breaking. After this torture, he couldn’t walk for
two weeks. Another practitioner Lu Changjun suffered the same torture and became
paralyzed.
Water Dungeon
Water
dungeon: Practitioners are stripped off clothes and dunked into dirty water which
is as high as the practitioner’s chest. Practitioners subjected to this torture
are unable to see the sunshine for a long period of time. Police officers or jail
guards determine at will how long the torture lasts. In the worst case, practitioners
died from the torture. In the less severe case, practitioners’ bodies were
soaked festered.

Honest and Upright Senior
Gentleman Liu Yufeng Was Beaten to Death
Liu Yufeng, male, 64, was
a retired worker from Xiaozetou Village of Songcun County, Wendeng, Shandong Province.
He was an honest and upright man. He was openhearted and publicly recognized as
a good person. After practicing Falun Dafa, his diseased body regained health.
He suffered tremendous tortures in the Wendeng Jail (Detention Center) and died
from the torture. Autopsy by legal medical experts showed that, extravagated blood
was discovered in his right eye-lid. There were cuts and bruises on his face,
and black and blue marks left by electric shocks on his throat, chest, and legs.
The skin had begun to separate from the body, and the soft tissue below the skin
was damaged. It was discovered that the second, third, and forth ribs on both
the right and left sides were fractured. The upper one-third of the sternum was
broken. His whole body was covered with bruises and injuries.
Young
Man Was Beaten to Death
Li
Zhongmin, male, 31 years old, was tortured to death on March 3, 2003. When he
died, some witnesses saw numerous wounds on his body, with bloodstains on the
back of his head and a big area of bruises on his inner thighs. There were many
red marks on his backs, and his eye sockets were deeply sunken in. The above photos
were taken in May 2001, one week after he was beaten at the Harbin Road Police
Substation in Dalian Kaifa District. At that time, his wounds gained some recovering.
Tsinghua University Graduate Was Tortured to Death
Yuan
Jiang, 29 years old, graduated from China’s most prestigious university,
Tsinghua University. He was kind, simple and had brilliant talents. Before he
practiced Falun Gong, he suffered various kinds of illnesses. He had once taken
one year sick leave from school. After practicing Falun Gong, his physical and
mental health dramatically improved. He was the Vice General Manager of the Information
Technology Engineering Co., an affiliate to the Telecommunications Bureau in the
city of Lanzhou. In September 2001, he was arrested in Dunhuang, Gansu Province
and had since been severely tortured for two months. A full truck of torture instruments
were used on him. His entire body was covered with wounds and scars and it was
too horrible to look at. Later, he passed away.
Freezing and Exposing
Practitioners under Scorching Sun

Practitioners’ demonstration of the torture
Freezing:In winter, in
temperatures of minus 20 to minus 30 degrees Celsius, police officers or jail
guards forced practitioners to stand outside with only underwear so as to coerce
them to give up their belief in Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance.
Exposing
under Scorching Sun: In hot summer, police officers handcuffed steadfast Falun
Gong practitioners outside under the hot sun for a long period of time, which
often caused practitioners to faint, left burns on their skin and made them lose
body fluids. In some brainwashing classes, in order to cover up what they were
doing, the police officers adopted even more malicious way. In midsummer, they
locked practitioners in a small airtight room and opened the heat system to its
maximum to stifle practitioners for a long period of time.

He was arrested because
he used TV network to clarify the truth of Falun Gong to the public. After Liu
Chengjun was handcuffed and shackled, police officers shot twice in his legs,
which severely injured him. The photo provided by the Chinese News Agency showed
that Liu Chengchun who had suffered all kinds of tortures did not have the energy
to maintain a natural sitting posture. |
Injecting
Drugs Damaging Central Nerve System
In
order to force practitioners to renounce their belief, steadfast practitioners
who resolutely persist in their belief of Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance are
often injected drugs that damage their central nerve systems. Some were thus tortured
to become mental abnormal. Some were even tortured to death.
Death Caused
By Injecting Large Quantity of Unknown Drugs
Lu
Hongfeng, female, 37, was Deputy Principal and Educational Administration Director
of the Lingwu City No. One Elementary School in Ningxia Province. She was a senior
teacher and an excellent teacher in her district. In a local psychiatric hospital,
she suffered various tortures by means of drugs and died.
Zhang
Fangliang, 47, was the Deputy County Magistrate of the Rongchang County, Chongqing
City. He was an honest and incorruptible official. He was injected with some unknown
drugs during his detention in the Tongliang Jail (Detention Center) and died from
torture on July 9, 2002.
Xu
Guiqin, 38, was a Falun Gong practitioner from Taian City, Shangdong Province.
During her one-year imprisonment in the Shangdong Province No. One Forced Labor
Camp for Women, she was brutally tortured. Two days before she was released, because
she refused to give up her belief, she was once again beaten and injected with
some drugs that damaged central nerve system. After she returned home, she appeared
to be mentally abnormal. Nine days later, she passed away.
Zhang
Dezhen, 38, was a Falun Gong practitioner from Xie Village, Jiuzhai Town, Mengyin
County and shangdong Province. She was unlawfully arrested by the Mengyin County’s
“610 Office” and local police
bureau. Under the situation that she was extremely weak, she was injected with
large quantity of drugs, which caused her death from heart failure.
Digging Bamboo Sticks
Practitioners demonstrating the torture method of “digging
bamboo sticks” into their fingertips under fingernails.
Digging bamboo sticks:
The long bamboo sticks were forced into practitioners’ finger tips through
their fingernails, which caused extreme pain for victims.
- Falun Gong
practitioner Cheng Fengxiang from Yongnian County, Hebei Province had suffered
this torture of “digging bamboo sticks”. - Liu Jinfang from Henan Province
was beaten to injured by the police officers from the political and security department
of the Xiangcheng City. After she endured various kinds of tortures, police officers
pricked through her fingertips and toes with bamboo sticks. She was in such a
huge pain that she lost her consciousness. The police then once again plunged
bamboo sticks into her fingers or toes to wake her up. - Zhang Zhigang was
a Falun Gong practitioner from Deyang, Sichuang province. The police officers
first beat him up and then dug baboon sticks into his fingertips and threw red
and hot cigarette stubs into his underwear.
Forced
Abortion
Practitioners
demonstrating the method of forced-abortion.
Forced abortion:
In order to transform the pregnant Falun Gong practitioners in labor camps, jail
guards forced them to have abortion disregarding how long their pregnancy was
and whether that would risk their lives.
- Giving Injection to Induce
Abortion, Policemen Watch a Practitioner Having an Abortion: Evil deed done by
policemen of Mengzhou City, Henan Province. In order to send practitioner Ms.
Geng Juying to a forced labor camp, policemen forced her to have an abortion.
They gave her abortion-inducing injections against her will. When she was in unbearable
pain, several policemen looked at her and laughed cruelly, and as they watched
her abort, they said lewdly, “Aren’t you pretty’ We just want to watch
you have an abortion.” Thus Geng Juying lost the baby under the malicious eyes
of these wicked policemen. Afterward, Geng Juying was put into a brainwashing
center in Jiaozuo City, Henan Province.
- Imprisoned at 2-month
Pregnancy and Forced to Have Abortion at 7-month Pregnancy: Ms. Liu Sujun, 37
years old was arrested when she was two months pregnant. Knowing her physical
condition, the police still locked both her hands and feet together with heavy
shackles. She suffered this kind of inhuman torture until she was seven months
pregnant. Then, she was forced to terminate her pregnancy.
- An
8-month Pregnant Practitioner Was Forced to Have Induced Labor, Life or Death
of the Newborn Infant Remains Unknown: Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Liu
Qiuhong, 39, was a worker from Zhongce Medicine Company. When she was 8-month
pregnant, she was arrested by police officers from her home. She was forced to
have induced labor. Her child was alive and crying when he was born. But after
the child was sent away, his life or death remains unknown. After Ms. Liu was
forced to have induced labor, she was not allowed to have rest. In stead, she
was held in the Fenghuangtai Office to receive brainwashing for nearly one month.
Recently, she was sentenced to forced labor.
Tying a Practitioner
to the Rear of a Vehicle and Driving the Vehicle Fast

| | Practitioners’
demonstration |
Dragging practitioners by vehicles:
Policemen also tied Falun Gong practitioners who do not give up their belief and
peacefully resist the persecution to the rear of a police vehicle or a motorcycle
and then wildly drove the vehicle, which dragged practitioners on the ground and
made their bodies full of cuts and bruises, and badly mauled. Bones could be seen
at where their bodies touched the ground. It was too horrible to look at.
Evildoings
of Police Officers from Baiguo Town, Macheng City:Set a Practitioner Who Was
still Alive on Fire and Drag Practitioners on Grounds by a Fast-driving Motorcycle
- Ms. Wang Huajun was in her 30s. In April 2001, she was beaten almost to death
by the local government officials and was dragged to the front gate of the City
Administration. They poured gasoline on her body and set her on fire. She was
burned to death; however, the police told the people who were watching the event
that it was a “self-immolation.”
- The policemen also tied two
Falun Gong practitioners to motorcycles and went for a ride. The scene of those
two practitioners being dragged on the ground was so brutal that people couldn’t
bear to watch.
Slave Labor
 |  |
| Practitioners
demonstrating slave labor |
Slave Labor:Over the
past five years, tens of thousands of Falun Gong practitioners have been illegally
imprisoned and forced to do intense slave labor without any payment. The working
environment was extremely bad. Their products include packed chopsticks, give-away
toys for fast food restaurants and hair products for Henan Rebecca Hair Product
Inc., a major company that bring in foreign exchange income for Xuchang City.
- Producing “Sanitary” Chopsticks: The Department of Dispatch of Beijing’s
City Labor Education Bureau forced people in the labor camp to work excessive
long hours to make “sanitary” chopsticks, from 6:00am to 9:00pm or sometimes even
past midnight. Not only Falun Gong practitioners are forced to pack the chopsticks,
other inmates including those who abused drugs, patronize prostitues, and robbers
and thieves are all forced to pack the chopsticks. The chopsticks made there were
far from being “sanitary”. With dozens of inmates squeezed into one small room,
the chopsticks to be packed were piled on the floor arbitrarily and often stepped
on by workers. Many of them had skin diseases, scabies outbreaks, and some were
drug addicts or diagnosed with sexually transmitted diseases. Some inmates are
hostile toward the society and therefore deliberately nip dirty stuff on the tips
of the chopsticks. Some even rub the chopsticks on their feet or other dirty parts
of their bodies. The payment for the contracted forced labor became income for
the policemen at the labor camps. - Producing wax candles that emit strong
chemical odors: Since July 2001, the Longshan Labor Camp officials have forced
Falun Gong practitioners to process wax candles in various colors. Many practitioners
looked pale, became dizzy and sick and lost their appetite from inhaling these
toxic odors emitted by the candles. - Producing flax cushions for car seats:
Jiamusi Forced Labor Camp forced Falun Gong practitioners to produce flax cushions
for car seats from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. nonstop. This kind of flax produces a lot
of particles and dust, which is harmful to one’s health, irritates the respiratory
system and causes an itchy throat and difficulty in breathing. There were no safety
measures in place in the production area. - Producing Give-Away Toys for
Fast Food Restaurants: officials at the Hewan Forced Labor Camp in Wuhan City
have for a long time forced detainees to make give-away toys for fast food restaurants
outside China, including an eagle toy and a bear toy. The workshop starts the
day at 6:00 a.m. and stays open until 2:00 a.m. the next morning. - Producing
Traffic Control Batons and Toothpicks: Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp forced Falun
Gong practitioners who have better eyesight to weld together traffic control batons
used by traffic police. The batons are exported to South Korea. Practitioners
with worse eyesight are forced to make toothpicks. The labor camp forces them
to work 16-17 hours a day. Those who can’t work as fast end up having to
work day and night. Corn noodles and bread are the only food ever available. Practitioners
receive electric shock torture and beatings all the time.
Because
of their practice of Falun Gong, their lives had been full of vigor. However,
because they would not give up their belief in Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance,
they are subjected to suppressions and tortures and some of them have even been
tortured to death…
Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Ma Xuejun, an official
from the Railway Bureau of Jiamusi City has been tortured so badly in prison that
he is now on the verge of death.
 |  |
Mr. Ma Xuejun,
a healthy and happy man after practicing Falun Gong |
Mr. Ma Xuejun, after one-year suffering
from the persecution |
Before
Ma Xuejun practiced Falun Gong, he suffered from aplastic anemia and hepatitis
B. His doctor said that he would not survive. In the end of 1994, he started practicing
Falun Gong and he fully quickly recovered from all illness. Mr. Ma has been acknowledged
as a good person who works hard and conscientiously. He has never been corrupted.
Just
because Ma Xuejun firmly upheld his practice of Falun Gong, over the past more
than four years, he had twice been unreasonably detained for as long as six months,
respectively. He was once sentenced to 3 years in a forced labor camp. He was
sent home until his health was in a critical condition after one year and six
months imprisonment, during which he had been severely tortured using various
means including shocking him with electric batons and electric chairs, hitting
his toes with chair legs, kicking him with leather shoes on his lower back and
chest, and suffocating him with plastic bags…
Falun Gong Practitioner
Wu Lingxia from Heilongjiang Province Was Tortured to Death
Photo of Wu Lingxia and her son |  |
Ms.
Wu Lingxia, 37 years old, had suffered tremendous tortures physically and mentally
during her detention in the Shuangyashan Jail (Detention Center), which caused
her to suffer from liver cirrhosis induced ascites. She was sent home and died
in July 2002.
Ms. Chen Xingtao from Yueyang City, Hunan Province Became
Crippled as a Result of the Persecution and Was Tortured to Death Later

Her sacrum was festered and a big hole appeared
|
Ms.
Chen Xingtao, born in 1963, was a Falun Gong practitioner from Xinzhuang Group,
Guqiao Village, Yanglin Town, Yueyang City, Hunan Province. In January 2001, she
was illegally imprisoned in the Baimalong Female Forced Labor Camp in Zhuzhou
city, Hunan Province. During her imprisonment, she was ruthlessly tortured. As
a result, her lower body was paralyzed and numb and she suffered incontinence
of the bowel. She was released from the labor camp in May 2001 and after more
than one year of suffering, she passed away.
According to available statistics,
up to August 29, 2004, at least 1032 Falun Gong practitioners have been tortured
to death.
More than 6000 practitioners have been illegally sentenced to
prisons.
Over 100,000 practitioners have been sent to forced labor camps.
Several
thousands Falun Gong practitioners have been forcibly held in psychiatric hospitals
and injected with drugs that damage their central nerve systems.
Numerous
Falun Gong practitioners have been abducted and held in “brainwashing” centers
at different places where they are subjected to mental tortures. More people have
been beaten, physically punished and even economically extorted.
Tens of
Millions of Falun Gong practitioners’ family members, colleagues and friends
have been implicated and brainwashed to different degrees.
Because Jiang
group’s tight blockade of information regarding the brutal persecution, large
quantity of persecution facts have not been exposed. In addition, some of the
tortures are too cruel to be demonstrated by neither paintings nor live re-enactment,
therefore, what we exhibit here are only a tiny part of the persecution in terms
of depth, scope and severe degrees.
Dear Friends,
Your warm words,
Your sympathy and love
Your
signature…
Are all very precious to us
All small amount of force
of kindness will be gathered together to break through the dark ¨C stop the tortures.
The
world needs Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance…
Anti-torture exhibitions move people’s hearts. People
are shocked and indignant at Jiang group’s brutality.
People express
their sympathy and shed tears for the kind Falun Gong practitioners
People
solemnly signed their names on the petition book condemning Jiang group’s
inhuman persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. People asked, “What can we do
to help?”
Sit by my side
Closing your eyes
Together in silence
We call for
The end of torturing
The end of killing
The end of the persecution
Compassion grows in our
hearts
Together in silence
Our wishes can make a difference
