(Clearwisdom.net) I started to practice Falun Gong in 1997. After July 20, 1999, I went to Beijing twice to appeal peacefully for Dafa. The first time I was intercepted and taken back to my hometown. At the detention center, because I insisted on doing the Falun Gong exercises, clarifying the truth about the persecution of Falun Gong, and refusing to renounce my belief in Dafa, they put 20-pound shackles on my feet and tightly secured an instrument of torture around my upper body. My hands were tightly secured as well and I could not move. I was unable to lie down and was forced to stand the entire time. They put me--a Falun Gong practitioner who behaves according to the standard of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" and wishes to always be a good person--in the same torture device used on convicts sentenced to death. I asked one of the lead torturers, "Why do you persecute good people?" She said, "It is a directive from the top. If I do not do it, I will be criticized and lose my monetary reward." The lead torturer asked me, "Do you want to abandon Falun Gong?" I replied firmly, "Dafa gave me a second life. Before practicing Falun Gong, I had constant brain dropsy and my case was identified as an incurable disease at the Guangzhou International Medical Seminar. In less than six months after practicing Falun Gong, I was fully free from the illness. A physical checkup verified that I was totally healthy. My medical doctor had to admit it was a miracle beyond imagination. It is a solid fact that Falun Gong can improve one's physical and mental health. More importantly, Dafa requires practitioners to be good people and to behave according to Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." When she heard this, the lead torturer had nothing to say and quietly removed the instrument of torture. Finally, she let my relative sign the bail form and pay the fine for my release.

(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Li Qiliang from Mudanjiang has been detained at the Mudanjiang Forced Labor Camp twice. Because the guards there did not succeed in "transforming" Li Qiliang and forcing him to renounce his belief in Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance, Mr. Li was transferred to the Suihua Forced Labor Camp in Heilongjiang Province. He sustained a severe head injury there, which caused a mental disorder.

(Clearwisdom.net) On the morning of October 8, 2006, two brothers (non-practitioners) of Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Yang Jianpo, who is dying, drove to visit him in the Jidong Prison. Because they did not know where the prison was located, they asked practitioner Mr. Liu Xianglong to guide them. The prison had notified Mr. Yang's brothers to visit, but as soon as they arrived at the prison, more than ten state security agents, led by Liu Yan'guo, from Langfang City arrested Mr. Liu and almost arrested Mr. Yang's two brothers.
