Facts of the Persecution

The police in Guangzhou City No.1 Labor Camp (also called the Huadu City Labor Camp) use cruel torture methods on Falun Dafa practitioners. The evil gang in the local "610 Office" uses four particular torture methods on firmly cultivating Falun Dafa practitioners. One of them is called "Tying the Ropes." (This is when police tie up the practitioner with a thin rope, circle the rope around his neck, and tie his hands behind his back. Then the police use all their strength to tighten the rope. The rope becomes tighter and tighter around the body of the practitioner, and makes it more and more difficult for him to breathe. The pain is so intense that the practitioner sometimes loses control of his bladder. There are instances when the rope was tightened enough to break a practitioner's arm.) Whoever went through this torture would end up nearly dying, and with large bruises all over the body. Police then call the jail doctor to come to take a look. They display such cruelty, but pretend that they "care." A college student from Zhongshan University Wang Dehua had a mental collapse after enduring this torture.

The Truth and People's Hearts

The following is an excerpt from the article "Predestined to Listen to the Fa, and Recover Hearing"

One Falun Dafa practitioner has a brother who lived in her hometown out in the countryside. Her brother's wife took their son to the city, hoping to have his hearing loss treated. Because they were short on money, they came to the practitioner's house without seeing the doctor. The practitioner happened to be watching Master's lectures, so her nephew watched the remaining ten minutes together with her. She let them view a truth-clarifying VCD right after that. Her sister-in-law wanted to learn Dafa on the spot. They went back to the countryside the next day. Later when the practitioner went back to her hometown, her sister-in-law told her happily, "My son's hearing has been recovered." She wanted to learn Dafa immediately. That pure-hearted child has benefited from learning the truth.

The following is an excerpt from the article "A Falun Dafa Practitioner's 20-Year-Old Health Problems Disappear"

I had many health problems before obtaining the Fa, so that I could not eat or wash without assistance from others, and I also couldn't walk. In 1998, I was amidst such suffering that I would rather have died than live any longer--Falun Gong then came to our village. I really loved listening to Master's lectures on tape. I felt the lectures were quite precious. I have been determined to cultivate Falun Dafa, and the health problems that I had had for over 20 years and could not cure, are now all gone. I now have the happy feeling of being sickness-free. Hence, I deeply believe in Dafa, and deeply believe in every sentence and every word Master says.

News from China

The following is an excerpt from the article "Notice from the Baoding City (Hebei Province, China) Dragnet that Investigates the Persecution of Falun Dafa Practitioners"

Since 1999, when Falun Dafa began to be persecuted, until today, the Baoding City "610 Office," the police, procuratorial, the legal systems, and the local media have closely followed Jiang and his regime's lead, and persecuted thousands of Falun Dafa practitioners. They have had the media fabricate lies. Meanwhile, they have conducted illegal, large-scale arrests of Falun Dafa practitioners. They have detained practitioners, sentenced them, sent them to labor camp, searched their homes, extorted their money, and had them dismissed from their jobs. Many practitioners were sentenced to prison or labor camp. Many families have been broken up, and many have become destitute and homeless in order to avoid being unlawfully arrested at home. Many friends and families, and even employers of Falun Dafa practitioners have been implicated. People in Baoding City have been harmed by the brainwashing lies that the media has spread. Eleven Falun Dafa practitioners have been tortured to death in Baoding City. We are here to warn those lawless people involved in persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners, and those who have helped in the persecution by accusing or monitoring Falun Dafa practitioners for pitiful gains. Wake up quickly! History, justice, and heavenly law will not avoid punishing you because you did those things just because it was your job. Please bear in mind, huge errors are sure to be corrected, and your one thought will determine whether your future is good or bad.

"610 Office" is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems.
