1. [Shenyang City, Liaoning Province] Policeman Zhao Hong and Others Beat up Dafa Practitioners
On December 9, 2000, Zhao Hong and other officers from a police station in the Tiexi District arrested Dafa practitioners Ms. Li Honghong and Ms. Wei Yuhong and sent them to the No.1 Section of Shenyang City's Police Department. With instructions from section chief Pan and in collaboration with Zhao Hong, other policemen in the No. 1 Section beat the Dafa practitioners badly.
They cuffed Ms. Wei Yuhong's hands behind her back, hung her up and beat her. When they felt tired, they hung her even higher and then threw her to the ground. Wei Yuhong's eyes were severely injured instantly. Her eyes bulged and turned outward. The handcuffs were so tight that they cut into her flesh. The scars on her hands are still as big as a golf ball. Her legs were kicked so badly that she cannot walk. After she was put down, the policemen handcuffed her backward on a pole. When they felt tired, they put their legs on Wei's arms as a resting place and even pressed down hard.
At the same time, Li Honghong was beaten by another group of policemen. The names of the policemen are unknown.
In addition, the same group of policemen beat up a male practitioner so badly that one of the practitioners suffered two broken ribs and lost his ability to walk. Later on, he was sent to Shenyang City's Detention Center and was then sentenced to three years of forced labor in the Longshan Forced Labor Camp.
2. [Changchun City, Jilin Province] Police in the Chaoyanggou Forced Labor Camp Beat Dafa Practitioner Xiang Lianjie
Xiang Lianjie is a Dafa practitioner from Lushuihe Town, Fusong County, Baishan City. In 2001, s/he was reported to police for making truth-clarifying materials and was sentenced to three years of forced labor. This practitioner's term expired on February 10, 2004; however, the forced labor camp has not yet released the practitioner. It's said that policemen often beat up Xiang Lianjie because s/he refuses to give up his/her belief and is rock-solidly determined to continue practicing Falun Dafa. Each time, while doing the so-called "Breaking the stubborn ones" (cruel persecution against Dafa practitioners who refuse to give up their belief), police lash this practitioner with leather belts, hit him/her with wooden sticks and pour salt water on him/her when they are done with their other abuses.

Even the common prisoners can recite it.

11. [Mengyin County, Shandong Province] "610 Office" Personnel and Police Arrest Practitioners and Ransack Their Homes
Lawless officials from Duozhuang Town's "610 Office," Mengyin County, maltreat practitioners. They first arrest practitioners and then sentence them to imprisonment or forced labor. After that, they ransack practitioners' homes and loot all property and money, including savings, food, furniture and clothes, and even doors, windows and carpets. The only thing left is an empty shell of a house. Practitioners' families abandon their homes and live in exile.
Practitioner Ms. Ji Chengzhen was sentenced to three years of imprisonment when her child was in high school. Because of the illegal arrest, the child could not continue his education and went to Qingdao City to make a living.
Ms. Zhou Guihua and Mr. Liu Fenghou were sentenced to three years of imprisonment. Their homes were ransacked and completely looted of anything of value.

13. [Guizhou Province] Practitioners' Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions in the Zhongba Forced Labor Camp
Right now, many detained practitioners who once succumbed to the vicious persecution at Guizhou Province's Zhongba Forced Labor Camp now solemnly announce: all the "five statements"(2) written under the high pressure are void. They will firmly follow the teachings of Dafa and safeguard the Fa until the end. Their righteous action infuriated corrupt officials in the labor camp, who started another round of persecution. None of these practitioners, however, are giving up Dafa practice now in spite of the vicious persecution. They are eliminating the evil with the power of their righteous thoughts. The powerless police have no way to defeat them.

19. [Heilongjiang Province] Zhang Shuping's Personal Account of the Torture He Suffered in Jiamusi City's Prison
My name is Zhang Shuping, and I am a Dafa practitioner from Hegang City, Heilongjiang Province. In 2003 I was illegally put into Jiamusi City's Prison. My head hurts all the time, but that is not of my doing. Prior to my detention, as a result of the persecution, I sustained a head wound and had to have surgery. It is painful even when I sit still. On August 18, 2003, the head wound made me have a fever and I could not work, but the team head forced me to work anyway. He said, "The government is suppressing Falun Gong. If you do not obey my orders, I will torture you!" I said, "We have never violated the law and yet we have been persecuted. I cannot work because I am ill." Policeman Yang Yongnian, the team head, savagely beat me, hitting me on the head six or seven times until blood came out of my mouth.
On October 26, 2003 we refused to wear the prisoners' uniforms. For this I was locked up in a small cell for 19 days and in a "tightly administrated" cell for two days. We were given only two meals a day while in the small cell. The conditions were terrible, causing me severe physical and mental anguish. The Jiamusi City Prison is a vicious den that tramples human rights.

(2)Five statements: Practitioners are coerced under brainwashing and torture to write these as proof that they have given up their belief. Created by the "610 Office," the three statements consist of a letter of repentance for having practiced Dafa in the first place, a guarantee to never again practice Falun Gong or associate with other Dafa practitioners, a promise not to appeal, and a list of names and addresses of all family members, friends and acquaintances who are practitioners.
