(Clearwisdom.net) After Mr. Lu Yongliang from Yueyang City, Hunan Province, began practicing Falun Dafa in 1997, he saw light and hope enter his life. Mr. Lu told people about the beauty of Falun Dafa by talking about his personal experiences. Dafa helped him get rid of his bad habits and completely changed him. However, he was illegally arrested and sent to a forced labor camp. The following is what happened to Mr. Lu in his own words.

I got arrested on March 10, 2000. At 11 a.m., they searched my home and brutally beat me. I was held in Yueyang City First Detention Center.

The police demanded that I memorize the prison rules, but I wouldn't do it, so they forced me to shower with cold water. It was a very cold day. I was forced to shower with cold water for one whole hour. After that, I was forced to stand by a stool for 24 hours. The police tortured me by forcing me to sleep on the ground together with two inmates, one who had liver disease and the other who had scabies all over his entire body. I did not see them as sick people. I viewed them as human beings. I clarified the truth to them and sent forth righteous thoughts. In the end, all of their diseases disappeared and everyone was astonished. This really is the mighty virtue of Dafa reappearing in the human word!

On March 5, 2001, when I was passing out truth-clarification flyers, I was captured by agents from the 610 Office and taken to the Liangxinbao Brainwashing Sessions, held by the 610 Office. Around 2 p.m. on the 15th, Yang Yu from the 610 Office played a pornographic movie and forced us to watch it. When we refused to watch, they cursed at us, and the things they said were extremely depraved. The Chinese Communist Government would not let us study Dafa, but forced us to study this pornographic stuff. Aren't they doing bad things?

In March 2002, they again held brainwashing sessions, and I was taken there again. They lasted for over 10 days. One day, a prison monitor went to the female bedrooms and tried to commit sexual assault. He was stopped by a female practitioner. All practitioners sent forth righteous thoughts together. On the same night, they let us go home unconditionally.

On April 15, 2005, I was "illegally arrested" and sent to Xiankaipu Forced Labor Camp. The 7th Brigade is the brigade for "special treatment." It is the brigade specifically for torturing people. The worst of those in charge included Zhou Shixiong, instructor; Dou Xiangning, brigade captain; Shi Men, Educational Department director; Wu Miwan, criminal prisoner/monitor; Zhao Zhi. criminal prisoner/monitor); and Luo Junhua, criminal prisoner/monitor. These people made up the very evil "transformation" team. First they tried to force practitioners to write the three statements. If the practitioners refused, those in charge would not let them go to sleep and would force them to stand by the wall with their backs and heads touching the wall. The practitioners would be beaten if they moved just a little bit. Thoses in charge tried to force the practitioners to write the three statement by making them stand still like this for several days continually. At other times when practitioners were held in the bedrooms, they were not allowed to talk, stand up, or walk around. Whenever they went to the restroom or to sleep or eat, there were always monitors watching them closely.

There were two practitioners, Xi Huijun and Liu Heqing, whose faith was very strong The police hit their faces and their chests near the heart area, kicked their lower body parts and feet, and used electric batons to shock their heads and nerves. The police also forced them to swallow drugs. It is not known what the drugs were, but they were likely meant to destroy their central nervous systems. These two practitioners were tortured so badly that they could no longer act normally. They often screamed randomly. In the end, the police said that they were psychotic and told their families to take them home.

After they were released, the rest of the practitioners sent forth righteous thoughts together to clear away the evil factors. We heard policeman Zhou Shixiong say, "As police, we are not performing our duty well. This is a big lesson for us. If it is like this again, then let's kill some Falun Gong, just as if they were pigs. Don't be so pitiful." The entire body of police officers is a closed system that doesn't allow outsiders to know the truth.

I left Xinkaipu Forced Labor Camp in Shangshao City on February 9, 2006.
