(Clearwisdom.net) 1. [Heilongjiang Province] Using Instruments of Torture Including Electric
Batons and the "Big Hang Up," Wanjia Forced Labor Camp Forces Falun Dafa
Practitioners to Write the So-called "Three Statements" Personnel at the Wanjia Forced Labor Camp, using instruments of torture such
as Electric Batons and the "Big Hang Up,"* forced Falun Dafa practitioners to
write the so-called "Three Statements"** in an attempt to coerce the
practitioners to turn against Dafa. Those who refuse to compromise undergo punishment such as forced squatting,
sitting on a metal chair, being confined in a solitary compartment, or being
shocked with electric batons. Beginning in April of this year, the labor camp
became more vicious. The camp police forced Dafa practitioners to make a
"pledge" both in the morning and in the evening. During the morning exercise
session Dafa practitioners are forced to shout out the pledge. The police
compiled 40 questions and forced Dafa practitioners to recite them. If you
refuse to recite them you will be tortured or sent to the special division where
practitioners are assembled for "training." They must finish their production
quota; even sixty or seventy-year-old practitioners are not spared. To be
punished by standing for a long time is considered "lenient." The policemen went
to every squad to hysterically swear at Dafa practitioners and slander Falun
Dafa. The Dafa practitioners who are being illegally kept there are suffering
every day. * "Big Hang Up" There are two forms of this torture: (1) With both hands
cuffed behind the back and only toes touching the ground, one is hung by a rope
that is tied to the metal window frames; (2) One hand of a practitioner is
cuffed to one bunk bed and the other hand to another bed, and the two beds are
pulled in the opposite directions. ** "Three Statements" are documents coerced under extreme pressure,
torture and brainwashing, designed by the Chinese authorities to ensure that
detained Falun Gong practitioners are appropriately brainwashed. The statements
consist of a letter of repentance, a guarantee to never again practice Falun
gong, and a list containing names and addresses of all family, friends and
acquaintances of the detainee who practices Falun gong. This system was
concocted by the "610 office," 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. 2. [Qinghuangdao City, Hebei Province] Female Practitioner Yu Aijie Is

of Liaohe Oil Field to Send Forth Righteous Thoughts as One Body to Eliminate
the Persecution Staged by the Evil The political and judiciary committee of the oil field, the "610 Office," the
police department, and other organizations are in a frenzy in their persecution
of Falun Dafa practitioners. On June 6th, 2003 six Falun Dafa
practitioners were illegally taken away and sent to the Liaoning Provincial
Brainwashing Center in Fushun City, where they were ruthlessly tortured. Owing
to many reasons these practitioners failed to uphold their xinxing [the
nature of the mind or the heart, moral character] and let the evil
accomplish its purpose. The "610 Office" and the police department announced
that they would continue to take Dafa practitioners to Fushun Brainwashing
Center to be tortured. 7. [Laishui County, Hebei Province] Female Falun Dafa Practitioner Liu Yumin
