The "Lightening" effect is from them being violently shocked by the standard issue Electric Batons. Reports have indicated that the police in the labour camps use these high voltage battons on sensitive areas such as the genitals, armpits, tounge, breasts, sole of the feet, ears, and eyes.
I know they look terrible and are quite shocking. A few Falun Gong practitioners have ended up escaping the labour camps and made it to Australia. I've talked to more than half a dozen here in Sydney who all have told me stories of the horrible things they endured. The saddest fact is that this is still going on right now all over China! I've seen a young Chinese Lady's hair turn white over a period of a week after she first told us of what happened to her husband. He was tortured to death for going to the appeals office in Beijing to tell them that Falun Gong should not be persecuted. She was so scared just to tell the story..
You will be fine in China and will be treated much better than any local would. The biggest form of censorship on the net is directed at groups the Gov't views as "anti China".
They are still persecuting, torturing and killing innocent people. The most severely being Falun Gong practitioners who have been persecuted since 1999 for following the principles of Truth, Compassion and Tolerance.
Sometimes pictures speak louder than words. Below are links to pictures of Falun Dafa practitioners that have been beaten, raped, shocked with electrical batons, etc.
