Facts of the Persecution

1. Sixty-year-old Falun Dafa Practitioner in Qitaihe City, Jilin Province Recounts Torture

My name is Dong Changhao. I am a Falun Dafa practitioner and a farmer in Qitaihe City, Jilin Province. At around 8:00 a.m. on December 13, 2004, two police officers came to my home, ransacked it, and ordered me to go with them. I refused and they abducted me. They took me to the police department, where they threatened and interrogated me. I held a hunger strike to protest the persecution. On the evening of December 14, the police took me to Beishan No. 2 Detention Center, even though they had no incriminating evidence against me. They threatened to sentence me to three years in prison for doing Falun Gong exercises. I continued my hunger strike in the detention center.
