Persecution Facts

My name is Chen Chunlin. I obtained Dafa in 1996. Because I persisted in Dafa practice and clarified the truth about Dafa, I was arrested in 2001 and sent to Harbin Prison where I was deprived of sleep. The guards brutally squeezed my genitals, gouged my eyes with their fingers and burned me with lit cigarettes. In March 2004, guard Chai Jiatao ordered the inmates to torture me.
