PHOTO DOCUMENTS CONTINUING SEXUAL ABUSE IN FORCED LABOR CAMPS
NEW YORK (EPOCH TIMES)--Photos showing festering burns on a female [Falun Gong] practitioner's breast, made by shocks from electric batons, have aroused attention internationally.

NEW YORK (FDI)--Forty-four torture and persecution-related deaths of people who practice Falun Gong in China were reported during September.

HUNGER STRIKES IN CHINA PROTEST WIDESPREAD ABDUCTIONS BY POLICE
NEW YORK (FDI)--Eight Falun Gong practitioners at the Daqing Detention Center have been on hunger strike for two weeks. They were among at least 30 practitioners abducted by police on September 23 without a warrant or due legal process as part of a series of mass arrests throughout China that were first reported on September 7 from Hegang City, Heilongjiang Province. Days before the October 1 National Day celebrations, what locals described as a "manhunt for Falun Gong practitioners" took place in Qingdao city. Police first arrested individuals who had previously been "reeducated" during forced conversion through brainwashing and torture, and then forced them to assist the police in arresting other Falun Gong practitioners in the area.
