In order to protect Dafa practitioners living in a horrible environment, we have
left out details that may lead to further persecution. But the facts concerning
the persecution of Dafa practitioners are being kept on file. This will be
undeniable evidence when we appeal to the court someday.
Respected leaders:
I am a Falun Dafa practitioner; I was arrested only
because I wanted to go to National Appealing Bureau to report how I have
benefited from practicing Falun Dafa. áBut
after I went to Beijing, I was sentenced to a labor camp before I could utter a
word. During my stay áin the labor
camp, my human rights were severely violated; my life was constantly threatened.
The following is my appeal:
1.áááá
I
was sent to a labor camp in X city in January 2000. áI did Dafa exercises in the evening, and the next day I was
beaten, shamelessly by a deputy section chief. He also cursed me the entire
time. áI was beaten so badly that I
couldn't see clearly. áI did the
exercises again that evening. The next day I was beaten, again, by captain
Chen, in his office in front of all the policemen. He slapped my face and
cursed me continuously. áI didn't
say a word. áOne day, when officers
Wang and Tu were on duty, they took turns beating me, punching, kicking and
hitting me with a belt. áWhen they
tired, they lay down on their desks and smoked cigarettes, and forced me to keep
my bottom up in the air when bending down. áWhen
they recovered, they beat me again and again. They did this for half of the
night. My face, chest, waist, buttocks and thighs were bruised and swollen.. It
was so painful that I could neither sit nor sleep.
2.áááá
One
afternoon in the middle of January, we were brought into the corridor as the
management section team inspected the room. áThey found my transcribed Dafa book, and a copy of
Zhuan Falun owned by one of my fellow practitioner's. áThen
an officer and a person, in charge of internal affairs named Hu Li, beat us both
severely while continuing to curse us..
3.áááá
As
I couldn't recite the prison rules, Hu Li ordered prisoners to take turns
watching me. áThey did not allow me
to sleep or rest for two days and two nights. áWe
were confined to a classroom on March 20 instead of doing labor work. áWe
made use of this opportunity to study the Fa together. áOfficer
Tu came and tried to grab my book when he found out. áI
wouldn't give it to him and he asked four prisoners to hold me down and grabbed
the book. áI struck my head against
the wall dozens of times; blood gushed all over my face. áOfficer Tu said "Let him strike himself, let him die,
grab the books." áThe next
morning, we were all called into the office and they ordered us to hand in our
books. áSeveral people in the
management section beat us. áOfficer
Liu kicked one practitioner's lips and they were immediately badly distorted. áTu kicked me in my face when I bent down to protect the book;
blood gushed from my mouth and nose. áBut this didn't prevent him from continuing to beat me. áHe
hit me in the face with the electric stick, pulled me into another room and
repeatedly hit me with the electric stick until it ran out of power. áI
was tortured to such a miserable condition that people did not dare to look at
me; my life was in danger. áAfter
that, they sent me to another camp and ordered the prisoners to torture me. áThe
prisoners treated me cruelly in order to please Office Tu. áThat
evening, a prisoner whose last name is Zhu awakened me and, with three other
prisoners, beat me and kicked me dozens of times on my head, I almost fainted. áThe
next morning my head was swollen, and my dizziness lasted half a month. áScars
can still be seen now.á The next
day, prisoner Zhu (the cruel man who had been bribed by Officer Tu could do
whatever he liked) came to our bedroom to drink wine and forced me to sit with
him and would not allow me to sleep. áDuring
the detention, we practitioners were beaten and cursed by the prisoners from
time to time, they even smashed me in the back with a fire extinguisher, and the
officers pretended not to have seen it. áIt
took me three months for my head to heal.
As a Falun Dafa practitioner, I don't care about
life and death, and I am not afraid of evil. áI
will expose the evil to the public no matter what consequences it causes. áPerhaps
I will receive an even crueler punishment if this article is published, I will
face all these things with a practitioner's standards guiding me. áAs
I am cultivating myself according to the universal principal of "Zhen,
Shan, Ren" (Truthfulness, Benevolence, Forbearance), I have endured all
those violent and humiliating acts silently and did not even say an angry word. áI
am innocent. áThere are more than ten million practitioners like me who are
trying to be good persons. áOur
lives are in jeopardy all the time. áThose
who carry out the laws are acting against "Zhen, Shan, Ren", they
trample on human rights and human lives at their will. áIn
order to maintain the dignity of the law and people's right to appeal for their
legal rights and beliefs; I will appeal to the court! áAll
leaders are welcome to investigate my case, what I have said is truthful and
free of any exaggeration.

When I finished reading this article, I couldn't
hold back my tears. áA decent man
was tortured to such a horrible state only because he wants to speak out the
truth! áAppeal, where can we appeal?
There is no place for Falun Gong practitioners to appeal in China. áMurderers
have a time period for appeal, they can even bribe government officers to waive
their penalties, but Dafa practitioners have nowhere to appeal ! Whoever dares
to say a few good words for Dafa practitioners will be arrested on the spot, may
even embroil others, and the victim would receive a very cruel punishment
afterwards. áI have no other way but
to post this article on the Internet. áKind-hearted
people in the world, please help us, stop the evil, and promote justice as soon
as possible!
