[Jinan City, Shandong Province] Forced Labor Camps in Jinan City Frames Falun Gong
Around February and March 2002, forced labor camps in Jinan City (it was said to be a unified action across the province) organized those who had given up their belief in "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance" under high pressure and extreme torture, to write a letter to the United Nations, framing Falun Gong. In order to make the UN believe that those letters were from people living in different areas, the forced labor camps bought envelops of different colors and designs, and asked people to use their home addresses for mailing. They directly or indirectly delivered those letters to UN in an attempt to slander Falun Dafa. But the only thing they forgot about was the date -- the same date was marked on these letters since every forced labor camp organized the "mailing project" at the same time.

[Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] Wanjiao Forced Labor Camp Sets Up Classes Under Strict Supervision and Tortures Falun Dafa Practitioners
Recently, the Wanjia Forced Labor Camp set up classes under strict supervision in order to coerce Falun Dafa practitioners who remain firm in cultivation to give up their belief. Twenty-seven Falun Dafa practitioners are being subjected to brutal torture there.
With the excuse of so-called "reflections," they force Falun Dafa practitioners to sit on benches all day until 11:00 PM, when they are allowed to go to sleep. Practitioners are allowed to go to the washroom every 12 hours. In order to destroy these practitioners spiritually, the police put items that practitioners' family members brought them on the bench within practitioners' eyesight but out of reach, and threaten the practitioners with these things. Some common practices to coerce practitioners to give up practicing are sleep deprivation, being hung up, confinement in solitary cells, electric shock, and being made to sit on a metal chair for long periods of time. Even when some practitioners' terms are completed, the terms would be extended, one-month extensions at a time, and the terms are extended for certain number of times. After so many extensions, they will then be sent to jail.
