My Personal Account of Being Severely Persecuted (Photo)

(Clearwisdom.net) My name is Xin Minduo. I am an employee of the Measurement Branch of the Physical Exploration Company.

I started practicing Falun Gong at the end of 1996. When Jiang's regime started persecuting Falun Gong in July 1999, some company supervisors were afraid of being implicated. As a result, I was illegally sentenced to three years of forced labor, and was sent to the Panjin City Labor Camp. At the labor camp, I was threatened, physically beaten, abused, and tortured. After half year of undergoing a painful hunger strike to protest the forced labor and being held for a total of eleven months, I was on the verge of death. After my family was extorted twenty thousand yuan, I was sent home weighing eighty jin (about 88 pounds).

Practitioners Forced to Wear Heavy Shackles at the Pingxiang City Second Detention Center, Jiangxi Province (Illustration)

(Clearwisdom.net) The Pingxiang City Second Detention Center in Jiangxi Province defies regulations and forcibly compels detained persons and Dafa practitioners to do manual labor every day from 5 a.m. to midnight, even to 1 or 2 a.m. If anyone does not work, he is put in shackles that weigh 15 to 30 kilograms. Liu Yuan, a doctor known for cruelty, also stamps his feet on the shackles. The shackles press on the bone, which is extremely painful, but the policemen just roar with laughter. The police also force Dafa practitioners to run while wearing the shackles. In winter, they force women practitioners to kneel on the snow-covered ground for a long time.
