  • Updates on the Persecution in Chongqing City

    On September 19, 2005, about two dozen police officers from the 610 Jingkou Police Station, in Shaqu District, Chongqing City broke into the home of practitioner Ms. Zhang Bangrun at the dormitory of Jingkou Agricultural Chemical Factory. They arrested her, in spite of her husband's protest and resistance. On September 18, Mr. Lei Zhengxia, about 60, a retired teacher from Fengmingshan High School, lives in Xinqiao, Chongqing. He was taken away by police, and is now illegally held at Jingkou Brainwashing Center. In early September, practitioner Jiang Changlan's mother, who lives in Shapingba, disappeared after going to Suangbei Dongfeng Chemical Factory. Her whereabouts is unknown.

    On September 19, practitioners Jin Yu and Xiao Fang from Rongchang were taken away by police from work. Practitioner Ms. Chen Deju was also arrested from home on September 15. Her child tried to prevent police from doing that, but was pushed away by the police. It is said that they are illegally held in Rongchang Detention Center.

    Ms. Liu Chenggao, 60, is a retired worker of Chongqing Light Bulb Factory. On the morning of September 17, Ms. Liu was arrested by police while going out to buy vegetables. Her whereabouts is unknown.

    3. Practitioner Mr. Gao Xiaobo from Duzhou Town, Changshou District Arrested

    On June 30, 2005, after the officials from Changshou District, Chongqing frenziedly arrested practitioners, practitioners of Duzhou Town continued to clarify the truth to people, and distributed truth-clarification material to every official of the town government. The town officials were quite frightened. In early September, many banners defaming Falun Gong were hanging out on the streets of Duzhou Town to intentionally deceive people. Early on September 6, practitioner Mr. Gao Xiaobo tried to remove the banners, and was arrested and beaten by police officers who were lying in wait. Mr. Gao is held at Changshou District Detention Center.

    6. Chen Zhiquan, Zhang Jidong, Zhao Xiaoqun and Other Practitioners from Jiulongpo District Arrested

    Mr. Chen Zhiquan is a teacher of foreign language in No. 2 High School of Chongqing City Construction Industry (Group) Limited Liability Company. On September 15, he was taken to Baihe Village Brainwashing Center of Jiulongpo District for persecution. On the night of September 15, Zhang Jidong, a former employee of Xinan Vehicle Factory, was dragged from his home by unknown people, and is currently detained at Jingkou Town Brainwashing Center in Chongqing.

    Ms. Zhao Xiaoqun, 62, lives at Xiejiawan Culture Village in Jiulongpo District, and is a retired employee of the Construction Group. In early September, she was deceived by police and went to Xiejiawan Local Police Station, and then was sent to Baihe Village Brainwashing Center of Jiulongpo District for persecution. Ms. Zhao was arrested many times, and her home searched. On May 21, 2001, Chen Gang and a few police officers from Jiulongpo Public Security Section No. 1 summoned her for trial. They did not let her eat, drink or sleep for two days. Moreover, they talked her into making a confession. She was illegally sentenced to three years of forced labor. Ms. Zhao became critically ill from the persecution in the labor camp, and was released on November 29, 2001.

    In early September, practitioner Wei Hua from Jiulongpo District Culture Village and another practitioner were arrested when clarifying the truth. On August 4, Ms. Liu Anbin from Wutaishan residential area in Shipingqiao and other practitioners were posting self-made truth-clarification material "Heaven Destroying the Communist Party, Quitting CCP to be safe" in Chongqing Staff Medical College (Yuanjiagang). She and a practitioner surnamed Huang were taken away by the security guards. Ms. Liu was sentenced to one and a half years of forced labor, and is held at Maojiashan Women's Forced Labor Camp in Jiangbei, Chongqing. Practitioner Huang's whereabouts are unknown. Ms. Liu began to practice Falun Gong in 1998, and benefited physically and mentally. When she went to appeal in 2000, she was detained for fifteen days. She was arrested many times, and once detained in the brainwashing center.

    Around 9 a.m. on August 15, practitioner Huang Qunxiang, a retired worker of the Construction Group, was arrested by police at Xiejiawan Food Market, and detained and tortured at Huayan Detention Center.

    Atrocities Witnessed in Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp

    On July 22, 2004, the county 610 Office illegally arrested Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Liu Huifen and sent her to the detention center. They also tried to extort a ransom of 20,000 yuan from her family. To protest this persecution and to discourage them from making further claims, her family refused to pay. On August 18, the authorities sent Ms. Liu to the Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp's Fifth Division for one year.

    Since former president Jiang Zemin's regime started persecuting Falun Gong in 1999, the methods that the Gaoyang Labor Camp officers have used again Falun Gong practitioners have been extremely brutal, obscene and despicable. Besides the usual physical punishments, they have used snakes, lizards, heated irons and suffocation in the form of burying practitioners alive for a period of time. Practitioners that refused to be "transformed" in labor camps from areas including Shijiazhuang, Tangshan, Zhangjiakou, Beijing, Xinjiang, and Heilongjiang, were commonly sent to Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp. Therefore Jiang's regime favored this labor camp and awarded it a certificate of "achievement," and rewarded the warden with a large sum of money.

    When Liu Huifen arrived, there were about 100 practitioners at the camp but there weren't many non-practitioner prisoners.

    Practitioners have protested the persecution ever since it began, and have endured pains that ordinary people could not. With righteous thoughts and actions, the environment in the labor camp has been constantly changing. The warden and deputy warden of the labor camp have since been arrested for "abuse of power" and for making "unconstitutional arrests." Although their cruelty has decreased, they are still committing evil acts.

    Practitioner Ms. Wang Junhua, from Zhangjiakou District, was sent to Gaoyang Labor Camp for forced "transformation." Three team leaders beat her simultaneously with electric batons until she lost consciousness. A practitioner from Zhangjiakou, Ms. Li Cuilian shouted, "Falun Dafa is good!" Deputy team leader Li Xuejun beat her with an electric baton. When he got tired, he made a prisoner beat her. He told the prisoner to remove Ms Li's sock and stuff it in her mouth if she shouted, "Falun Dafa is good" again. Once, a prison guard put shackles on a Beijing practitioner, and tried to inject him with unidentified substances. Li Cuilian stopped him and said, "We practitioners have no sickness." For saying this, they took her to the pig farm and beat her on the face with leather boots until her mouth was black and blue and swollen. Her body was covered in mud, and one of her shoes was missing. Another female practitioner who had to feed the pigs witnessed a prison guard taking a male practitioner to the field and beating him to the ground with an electric baton. He was screaming horribly and lost control of his bladder.

    Five or six practitioners in cells on the second floor, including Ms. Cao Jinhua, who is almost 60 years old and Ms. Zhao Suiying, who is 37 years old, were very weak from the relentless abuse and could not get up. During this year's Chinese New Year, the prison guards lied to them, saying they were going to be given a medical checkup, and ordered several prisoners to carry them out. Some practitioners were not even allowed to put on an overcoat. Instead of being taken to a clinic, the practitioners were left on a dunghill for a day. Their clothes were filthy as a result of this abuse.

    The torture methods that prison guards have deployed are unimaginable.

    At mealtimes, everyone is sent to the cafeteria. They give people very little time to eat and start hustling them to finish up. Often, one has to leave before finishing eating. No food is allowed to be taken back. The prison guards claim that they are wasting money "supporting" the practitioners. In the labor camp, practitioners do not get to eat vegetables. Sometimes when the practitioners were sent to the field to work, they harvested a few plants of a very bitter vegetable and let everyone chew a few leaves. The main food they serve is a very salty noodle that's almost inedible. Regardless of the food, there is usually not enough cooking gas and so the food cannot be cooked. Therefore, we practitioners were often given dried food and water, or a few pieces of preserved vegetable. During summer they cooked a "green bean soup," but you couldn't find any beans in it. There was so little to go around that sometimes people could only have a little bit while others didn't even get any. Sometimes we were served dumplings on Chinese New Year, but they weren't cooked thoroughly. Since they are often stuffed with pork, they could not be eaten.

    The Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp uses various deceptions to cover their crimes to the outside world. For example, they serve a few pieces of carrot, radish, rice noodles and few greens in the soup (no salt) and claim this as serving "four dishes and a soup."

    The prison guards and team leader's family members as well as retired guards have opened little shops inside the camp and charge exorbitant prices.

    When officials from supervising organizations come to "inspect," the labor camp authorities make the non-practitioners prisoners lie to them and hide practitioners who aren't feeling well. In reality, the supervisory officials are just as corrupt as the guards and have their own interests at stake. So the officials and guards deceive each other and hide their own transgressions.

    As of late June 2005, there are still 70 to 80 practitioners at the labor camp. A handful of practitioners have been "transformed" but they are not able to do much harm. Also, in various cells and lunchrooms there are now fewer banners that slander Master and Falun Gong.

    The prison guards had been receiving phone calls and flyers from practitioners on the outside that clarify the truth. They had been shaken tremendously, and they cannot relax at any time of the day or night. Some of them have read the "Nine Commentaries on the Chinese Communist Party" and asked outside people to help them withdraw from the CCP on the Internet.



    A Practitioner Describes Her 6 Years of Persecution

    On April 26, 2003, the Lixia District Court of Jinan City in Shandong Province secretly sentenced seven practitioners: Mr. Xu Xun, Ms. Li Chengxiang, Ms. Tian Ran, Ms. Liu Hongmei and Ms. Wang Wei. In court, Ms. Liu Hongmei warned the judges, "Your trial is illegal and violates human rights. Someday, you'll be held responsible for what you have done." Ms. Wang Wei told the court that citizens have a right to freedom of belief and that clarifying the truth about the persecution is legal. The trial came to an end quickly because of practitioners' righteous thoughts. Ms. Liu was determined and refused to be brainwashed. She was sentenced to 7 years in prison.

    The following is an excerpt from Liu Hongmei's appeal after sentencing. In it, she explains the facts of the persecution she suffered.

    I, Liu Hongmei, want to describe my suffering over these past years. I want others to know who is really damaging the application of Chinese law and how Chinese law is currently improperly applied.

    On January 28, 2000, Jinan City's Keyuan Street Police Station fined me 5,500 yuan and seized my I.D. They didn't follow any legal procedures or give me a receipt. This was all against basic accounting practices. The police officers have fined citizens at will, withheld citizen ID cards, harassed practitioners' employers and family members, denied use of computers and Internet access, coerced promises to give up their constitutional right of appeal and prevented them from going to Beijing to make an appeal on behalf of Falun Gong. There was no legal basis for doing any of these things. They took away my rights given to me in the Chinese Constitution. The 610 Office made their own "law" and took control of the government institutions, just like they did during the Cultural Revolution. This seriously disturbs citizens' normal lives, while violating their personal freedoms and human rights.

    On October 24, 2000, officers from the Keyuan Street Police station tricked me into coming to the station. Once I got there, they detained me at the Licheng Detention Center. The detention center took our food allotments, gave each of us one blanket and forced us to sleep on ice-cold concrete. We were already cold and uncomfortable, yet the officers still tortured us in other ways at the same time. When we asked them why, they replied, "We have orders from upper levels. It's OK as long as you are not starved to death." We suffered a lot, mentally and physically during the persecution.

    On November 24, 2000, the detention Center asked me to sign a release notice, but I was not released. They detained me for another month before moving me to a brainwashing center set up at Guodianyi Sports School Hostel. At the brainwashing center, we were deprived of our personal freedom and our family members were forced to pay 3,000 to 10,000 yuan for our room and board. That is over 100 yuan per day. This is organized robbery. Young men monitored us 24 hours a day. They came into our living quarters at will and took away our quilts at will to see how we positioned our legs. This insults us and violates a woman's basic privacy. The officers frequently curse and beat us to keep us terrorized. All of those officers have committed serious crimes by doing so.

    Near the end of November, police officer Zhang Guisheng of the Keyuan Street Police Station arrived. He cursed us fiercely and ordered the use of more violence and torture during the brainwashing sessions. Police officer Liu Feng asked me, "Do you choose Falun Gong or your family?" I said, "Practicing Falun Gong does not conflict with my family." He jumped up saying, "No! You can choose only one!" I was totally confused. Who gave him the right to force me to make such a choice? Police officers forced citizens to get divorced and involved their family members as a means to threaten us. Such mental abuses are illegal.

    On June 8, 2001, police officers from the Tianqiao District Police Station in Jinan City arrested me and beat me very cruelly. They handcuffed my hands tightly by twisting them. This caused my hands to swell terribly. A physical checkup at the detention center showed injuries to my nose and knees.

    On July 8, 2001, after they had detained me for one month, the Keyuan Street Police Station continued to detain me even though a release notice had been written. What's amazing is that they detained me in a secured room overnight with a man who was hired temporarily to monitor me. Is this the way Chinese laws should be applied?

    On September 28, 2001, a police officer from Huaiyin arrested me without having a reason. They severely injured my arms, my face and temple. It took over 20 days for the injuries on my face to heal. On September 29, police officers from the Keyuan Street Police Station forced me to have a physical checkup at the Provincial Women and Children's Center. I insisted that they should tell me why, but they did not. Later, they sent me into the Shandong Province First Women's Forced Labor Camp without using any legal procedures. They did not inform my family until ten days later.

    Police officers detained me many times. Although it is required that they notify my family within 24 hours, they never did. Sometimes it would be a month before they informed my family of my whereabouts. I was on a hunger strike for about half a year and still groups of people continued to try to coerce and brainwash me. I was not allowed to sleep until well past mid-night and for over 8 months, I never saw the sun.

    On May 26, 2002, police officer Yang Jiazhong came from the Keyuan Street Police Station to ask me to sign a notice. I refused. Later, Director Tian of the Management Section had Yang sign it for me and dated it as the end of 2001. The judgement said, "Released from forced labor camp on February 4, 2002." I did not get any notice. They made up entrance documents after I had been detained in the forced labor camp for over four months. They did not release me after a release decision had been made. Throughout all of these procedures, where was the law?

    On June 14, 2002, police officer Song from the Lixia Police Station talked with me. During our meeting, the people in the forced labor camp packed up my belongings. They told me that I was being transferred. I asked group leader Niu Xuelian of the 5th Group where I was being sent. She said, "For people like you, it is not going to be a good place!" A police officer from the Lixia Police Station then asked me to go. I refused. They said they would ask their boss where I should go. After about 40 minutes, they said, "Just moving you to another place." I still refused. Director Jiang of the forced labor camp and Yang of the management section pushed me. They said angrily, "Liu Hongmei leave here as quickly as possible. We never accepted you over here." They pushed me into a police car and drove me to the Jinan City Detention Center. They told me that I was under arrest. They didn't tell me at the forced labor camp because they didn't want me to resist.

    How sad it is! Police officers did not abide by the law and then used weird statements to cover up their illegal acts. They know that how they handle the Falun Gong issue is wrong, so they have no right thing to say. Once a police officer said, "Even if you receive redress in the future, that has nothing to do with me. I am only a lowly police officer following orders. So I can deny responsibility when that day comes."

    From September 28, 2001, to March 29, 2002, for half a year, I did not eat any food. Since those officers beat, punished, arrested us illegally and did not follow any legal procedures, I went on a hunger strike in protest. I have appealed through legal channels and spoken face to face with the authorities. This did not solve the problem. The persecution has become more and more violent. Because I was on a hunger strike, they brutally force-fed me, injuring my mouth, nose and stomach. They often caused me to bleed or they choked me, almost killing me. While I was on a hunger strike, they still forced me to do cleaning, did not allow me to sleep and forced me to sit 19 to 20 hours a day. For over 8 months, two people monitored me and they did not allow me to leave the room. Police officers ordered the inmates to beat me, curse me, and keep the newspapers and other people away from me. They deprived me of all basic human rights. I began to understand why people detained during the Cultural Revolution committed suicide, because living is no better than death.

    Jiang's regime, the CCP (Chinese Communist Party), and forced labor camp staff have committed huge crimes in the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. Those are bad memories I do not want to think about. I hope the appeal court will make a fair judgment based on the law and investigate who is really damaging the application of the law.

    I also want to remind you that my appeal will be recorded and will be evidence in the future. What choice will you make? The decision you make will affect your fate in the future. That is your personal issue.



    The Facts about the Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners by the Police in Xianghe County, Hebei Province

    The Jiang regime and the Chinese Communist Party continue to persecute the kind Falun Gong practitioners in China. Zhang Yuhui, a farmer from Wangjiabai Village, Anping Township, Xianghe County, Hebei Province, was illegally arrested and detained by the local police. The police extorted money from his family. In order to get the demanded sum of 40,000 yuan, his family had to borrow money everywhere. In May 2005 the National Security Group of Xianghe County Public Security Bureau said to Zhang Yuhui, "The money was confiscated and you are not able to get back a penny."

    On March 8, 2004 the Political and Protection Department of Xianghe County Public Security Bureau harassed people they targeted as "key persons," using the excuse of "protecting social stability" while the two conferences (the National People's Congress Conference and the National Political Consultative Conference) were being held in Beijing. In the late afternoon of that day they rushed to the home of a couple, Zhang Shun and Yan Fengxia, who lived in the family compound of the Xianghe County Industrial and Commercial Bureau. Zhang Shun was a former employee of the Bureau. He was fired from his position because he practiced Falun Gong and was sent to a forced labor camp. His wife Yan Fengxia was previously employed by the Xianghe County Industrial Bureau. She was put into the Custodial Center and illegally sentenced to a forced labor camp several times for practicing Falun Gong. Because they were previously persecuted quite a few times, the couple did not open the door when the police came this time. But the next day the Political and Protection Department of Xianghe County Public Security Bureau ordered a locksmith from the street stall to pry open their door. Thus the couple was arrested again. It was said that this whole process was videotaped.

    Several months after Zhang Shun and Yan Fengxia were arrested, the Political and Protection Department of Xianghe County Public Security Bureau arrested Yan Yunxia (a farmer from Shuyang Township, Xianghe County), Meng Shuling (a teacher from Baimiao School in Shuyang Township, Xianghe County), An Shuqin (unemployed, from Xianghe County), Li Wensheng (a retired worker from Xianghe County Water Conservancy Bureau in Xianghe County), Wang Jianming (an employee of the Xianghe County Chinese Medicine Hospital), Zhang Yuhui (a farmer in Wangjiabai Village, Anping Township, Xianghe County), Zhang Xian (previously a policeman of the Xianghe County Public Security Bureau but was fired from his position because of practicing Falun Gong - found a job later on in the Xianghe County Community Office.), and Cao Jiner (from Biancheng Village, Anping Township, Xianghe County).

    The Political and Protection Department of Xianghe County Public Security Bureau and the local 610 Office extorted money from the above practitioners in the name of expenses for their staying in the brainwashing class on remand. The sum they charged each person is as follows:

    Zhang Shun: 5000 yuan
    Meng Shuling: altogether 10,000 yuan, 5,000 yuan for remand, later on confiscated, the whereabouts of the other 5,000 yuan was unclear
    An Shuqin: altogether 10,000 yuan, 5,000 yuan for remand, later on confiscated, the whereabouts of the other 5,000 yuan is unclear
    Li Wensheng: 10,000 yuan as on remand fee, then was confiscated
    Wang Jianming: 5,000 yuan as on remand fee, then was confiscated
    Zhang Yuhui: 40,000 yuan as on remand fee, then was confiscated
    Zhang Xian: altogether 7,000 yuan, 5,000 yuan as on remand fee, then confiscated; no receipt for the other 2,000 yuan
    Cao Jiner: illegally sentenced to the forced labor camp

    Tears and Blood of Dalian: The Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioner Ms. Sun Yan, Part 2 (Photos)

    This article is continued from Part 1: /emh/articles/2005/10/10/65730.html.

    In April 2000, Sun Yan's husband, Lu Kaili went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong and was illegally sentenced to one year of forced labor. He was held at the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp. Before his term expired, he was transferred to the Dalian Forced Labor Camp. Upon arriving at the Labor Camp in the afternoon, he was tortured by guards and inmates who tried to force him to give up Falun Gong. He endured the fanatic persecution, and the perpetrators unconstitutionally extended his sentence by six months. After he was released, he was followed and monitored.

    In November 2001, Sun Yan was sent to the Yaojia Detention Center, and later transferred to the Dalian City Forced Labor Camp. Lu Kaili was held at the Guanshan Forced Labor Camp.

    Sun Yan was held at Division 3 at the Dalian Forced Labor Camp. She refused to "reform" and clarified the truth to the division head. She was held in solitary confinement and savagely tortured. Wan, the female division head shocked her with electric batons. Division head Han and political head Tan incited the inmates to beat her. They stripped her naked and rubbed a knotted rope back and forth against her genitals; blood dripped on the floor. They hung her in a metal cage, forced her legs apart and inserted hot peppers into her vagina. Yuan Lingyue, head of Group 3 beat Sun Yan and other Falun Gong practitioners many times. They tortured Sun Yan in the solitary confinement cell because she refused to write a guarantee statement to renounce Falun Gong.

    In early 2002, many Falun Gong practitioners including Sun Yan held a group hunger strike to protest the persecution. The guards were furious and ordered the inmates to torture the practitioners with a method called "splitting the legs."

    Splitting the legs: the practitioner is hung up. The inmates tie the top of a boxing helmet on the practitioner's head with a rope or strips of bed sheets, then to the top of the cage. The practitioner's hands and one leg are pulled up straight and chained or tied to the side of the cage, and the other leg is left hanging in the air. The inmates would pull on the other leg until it's 180 degree apart from the other leg. They would let go of the other leg when the practitioner loses consciousness, and repeat it when he or she comes to. While administering the torture, the inmates would ask the practitioner, "Will you reform?" and they screamed, "If you don't reform, we'll split your legs until they break!" The practitioner feels as if her body is split in two, and she often loses feelings in her legs or even loses consciousness. The inmates would say, "She can't feel anything now; let's wait for a moment and do this again." Some practitioners could not walk for weeks, a month or even six months after the torture. Practitioners Wang Lijun, Man Chunrong, Zhong Shujuan, Sun Yan, Wang Shuhong, Wang Binhua and Wan Xiaohui were tortured with "splitting the legs." Perpetrators Zhang Xiujuan, Gao Binling, Sun Bo, Guo Ling, Zhao Hui, Wang Xin, Ge Hong and Zhang Yang administered this torture.

    Below are reenactment photos demonstrating the tortures used on Sun Yan and other female Falun Gong practitioners at the Dalian Forced Labor Camp

    Many practitioners held a group hunger strike to protest the savage abuse under the persecution, and the guards ordered inmates to torture the practitioners with "splitting the pelvis:" they hang the practitioner up and pull up their arms and legs so they form a straight line, then they insert a stick or hot pepper into the practitioner's vagina and brutally beat them. They also pour boiling water on the practitioner, don't allow the practitioner to sleep, force her to stand barefoot in the winter with the windows open; they purposely leave the feeding tube inside the practitioner's stomach for a long time and handcuff the practitioner to a bed. Practitioners Wang Lijun, Sun Yan and Man Chunrong were savagely tortured. Zhang, head of the labor camp, division heads Han and Wan and group head Yang personally beat Falun Gong practitioners. Zhang said, "So, you want to talk about evil? I am evil!"

    Sun Yan and Man Chunrong were tortured numerous times while holding hunger strikes and refusing to cooperate with the perpetrators. Sun Yan was hung in a cage for six days and six nights with her hands and feet stretched out in a straight line. The guards incited the inmates to insert hot pepper and powdered pepper into her vagina and stab her vagina with a mop handle. They hit her genitals with the edge of a chair until blood ran down her legs. They rubbed her genitals back and forth with a knotted coarse rope until her vagina hemorrhaged and swelled up. She could not urinate and was crippled for over a year. Her fingers were so deformed from torture she could not make a fist. Despite her condition, she was still forced to process kelp and meet the assigned daily quota.

    Practitioner Chang Xuexia had her vagina repeatedly scrubbed with a shoe brush until the water in a basin underneath her turned red with blood. She lost consciousness. Practitioners Chen Hui, Fu Shuying, Man Chunrong, Wang Lijun, Fan Yue and others were also tortured this way.

    In 2003, Sun Yan shouted, "Falun Dafa is Good" when officials from Liaoning Province Judicial Bureau went to the labor camp to inspect work. The guards and inmates dragged her to a solitary confinement cell and tortured her for more than ten days, until her feet were severely injured and she couldn't walk.

    Sun Yan refused to give up her belief in Truth-Compassion-Forbearance. Group head Yuan Lingyue took her to a solitary confinement cell and tortured her with the Death Bed. They stretched her arms and legs to cause excruciating pain. They inserted hot pepper into her vagina and scrubbed her vagina with a shoe brush until she lost consciousness. Sun Yan's body often received new wounds on top of old ones. Her face was often black and blue when she was dragged out of the solitary confinement cell, and she was extremely weak. During more than two years at the labor camp, Sun Yan was crippled and she could not bend or stretch her fingers. The guards wrote Falun Gong founder's name on Sun Yan's body and insulted her with extremely vulgar language. They sent Sun Yan and two other practitioners to the Longshan Forced Labor Camp. Perpetrator Yuan Lingyue planned the transfer.

    Aside from personally persecuting the practitioners, the guards at the Dalian Forced Labor Camp also encourage the inmates to torture the practitioners by promising sentence reductions. Inmate Zhang, nicknamed Spike, is very vicious and specializes in torturing Falun Gong practitioners in solitary confinement cells. She became more cruel and cold-blooded after being trained by labor camp authorities. Other inmates including Sun Bo, Guo Ling, Wang Xin and Ge Hong also used the aforementioned methods to torture practitioners. The guards would blame the inmates for whatever happened to the practitioners.

    The CCP goes to great lengths to present its prisons and labor camps in a favorable light, in an attempt to cover up the atrocities committed there. The CCP has invited foreign media to visit certain prisons and labor camps after they had been decorated.

    Sun Yan persisted in Truth-Compassion-Forbearance, despite the fanatic persecution, and the guards and inmates could not destroy her will. In the end, the guards extended Sun Yan's term by 50 days and sent her to the Guanshan Forced Labor Camp.


    Ms. Zhang Hua Is in Critical Condition as She Resists Persecution with Hunger Strike

    Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Zhang Hua from Tongnan County, Chongqing City was "illegally arrested" by six to seven policemen headed by Zhang Liang when she went to visit her mother on the afternoon of July 21, 2005. Before the abduction, in the past two years, she had been forced to be homeless in order to avoid being persecuted. Ms. Zhang Hua began a hunger strike as a form of peaceful protest against her incarceration. Her hunger strike has been going on for more than 40 days and she is now in critical condition.

    Ms. Zhang Hua, 43 years old, originally worked at the Tongnan Farm Machinery Company but had been unemployed for several years. Due to her practice of Falun Gong she has always been a prime target of the authorities that were attempting to pursue and capture her.

    It was learned that policeman Zhang Liang and his men tried to extort a confession from Ms. Zhang Hua by cruel torture. The process lasted for more than ten days (the details of the torture are unknown), after which she was escorted to the Tongnan Detention Center. Zhang Liang wanted to find out which of her relatives Ms. Zhang Hua had visited when she was wondering from place to place so as to avoid arrest. He was attempting to collect evidence in order to sentence Ms. Zhang Hua to a long prison term. It was said that Zhang Liang rented a house just opposite Ms. Zhang Hua's mother's house so as to trace the whereabouts of Ms. Zhang Hua and then capture her.

    Since her abduction Ms. Zhang Hua has been staging a hunger strike to protest against the persecution for over 40 days and is now in critical condition. Ms. Zhang is currently being held in the surgical ward of the Tongnan County Hospital. Her hands and feet are tied up and she is guarded 24 hours a day. Zhang Liang also phoned the authorities in Chongqing City enquiring what he should do if Ms. Zhang's state of health declines even further. The authorities in the city requested Zhang to send her to the hospital, stating that they would rather see her die in the hospital than have her released.

    Ms. Zhang Hua's parents are over 70 years old and were employees for the Tongnan Taian Canned Food Factory. Ms. Zhang's mother is not in good health and has to live on a very limited pension because the factory they worked for has been closed for so many years. Ms. Zhang's son, Mr. Tong Zijia, is in his 20s. He served in the army and is now working somewhere in Chongqing City. On hearing the news that his mother was arrested, he cried in a state of deep grief. Ms. Zhang Hua's parents were worried about her safety during her detention, so they frequently visited with changes of clothes for her; however, they were not allowed to see their daughter. Under the fear of further persecution they dared not visit the police station to see Zhang Liang and ask him to release their daughter.

    Policeman Zhang Liang has spared no effort in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners over the last six years as the leader of the local State Security Group. His wife Li Juan works at the Tongnan Post and Telecommunication Department. Zhang Liang treats the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners as a lucrative business for his personal promotion and money making.

    We call on people all over the world to help rescue Ms. Zhang Hua and stop the killing of innocent lives that is now happening in China!

    Information Regarding Mr. Fan Dacheng's Death from Torture in Manasi County, Changjizhou City, Xinjiang Autonomous Region

    Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Fan Dacheng from the Electric Power Station of Manasi County, Changjizhou City, Xinjiang Autonomous Region started to practice Falun Gong in 1998.

    Since the persecution against Falun Gong began, the staff from his work unit has persecuted him outside the law and he has not received even a single yuanof his salary.

    Mr. Fan was unlawfully sentenced to two years in a labor camp, served from March 2001 to March 2003. During that time, Mr. Fan was tortured by inhumane means in Changji Labor Camp, Wujiaqu City, Xijiang Autonomous Region.

    At the end of 2003, he was detained for 15 days for displaying a banner reading, "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" in front of the gate of the Manasi family quarters.

    In April 2004, Mr. Fan was unlawfully sentenced to three years simply for displaying a "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" banner.

    In late June 2004, when he was tortured to the brink of death in the Changji Labor Camp, the authorities made his family take him home. By that time, he had lost the ability to eat. Fan Dacheng passed away on September 13, 2004.



    Li Xiaomei, Falun Gong Practitioner from Yulin City, Guangxi Province, Died in the Persecution

    Ms. Li Xiaomei, a Falun Gong practitioner from Yulin City, Guangxi Province, suffered persecution repeatedly. As a result, she was devastated both mentally and physically. While she was still in prison, her health was poor. After returning home, her health deteriorated further, and she could not take care of herself. She passed away on April 10, 2005. More details of her story follow.

    Li Xiaomei, 48 years old, used to be on the staff of the Yulin Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Plant (currently Yulin Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Ltd. Co.). Since she started practicing Falun Gong in 1996, her previously poor health dramatically improved.

    After the persecution of Falun Gong started on July 20, 1999, Ms. Li was persecuted by individuals from her work unit and transferred to a workshop. She was sent to a brainwashing center, and her monthly 1,000 yuan bonus was deducted from her pay.

    Li Xiaomei once went to Beijing to clarify the truth. Afterwards, she was detained and persecuted illegally by the Yulin Detention Center.

    Her husband also went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Gong and he too was illegally arrested. Both of them were fired from their jobs at the plant.

    Personnel from the Yulin City 610 Office, Xijiu Police Station, and Yulin Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Plant often dropped by her home to harass them and also to monitor their phone calls.

    In July 2000, Li Xiaomei was abducted and sent to a detention center for persecution a second time. On February 8, 2001, agents climbed up their balcony, broke down the door and forced their way into the residence. They intimidated the couple, ransacked the residence, and abducted both of them, sending the couple to the Yulin Detention Center again.

    Because of this unrelenting and long-term persecution by the government agents acting under the control of the evil forces, Li Xiaomei was seriously injured both mentally and physically. When she was still in detention, her health was not good. But after returning home, her health seriously deteriorated, and she was too weak to care for herself. She passed away at 2 a.m. on April 10, 2005.

    3. [Jilin Province] Wang Huilian and Zhao Shuqin are Extremely Weak Due to Torture at the Jilin Province Women's Forced Labor Camp

    For the past few years, personnel from the Jilin Province Women's Forced Labor Camp have been persecuting practitioners and carrying out the inhumane policy of so-called "reformation," inciting inmates to monitor practitioners and torture them around the clock.

    The morning of July 12, 2005, inmate Yan Shuyan from the No. 4 Division beat practitioners Li Yongjun, Zhang Xiuling, Jin Min and Ms. Wang Huilian, a lecturer at Northeastern China Normal University. She was tortured the most severely. Since April 21, 2005, Ms. Wang has staged a hunger strike. To date it has been five months. Ms. ang has become extremely weak. Her term expired on September 8. When her family members came to pick her up, however, the personnel at the labor camp refused to release her. A few days later Yang Shuyan beat Ms. Wang badly again.

    During the afternoon of July 15, 2005, personnel from the Security Section at the Xi'an Electrical Capacitor Factory and from the National Security Team in the Lianhu District Branch Police Department accosted practitioner Ms. Li Hua, an employee of the factory.

They put her into the Xi'an Switch Factory Hotel for interrogation the whole night. The next morning they took Li Hua home and ransacked her home. They didn't notify any of her family members and none of her family was present during the illegal search. Her husband came back afterwards.

    11. [Baoding City, Hebei Province] Baoding Forced Labor Camp Authorities Enslaved Detained Practitioners

    All female practitioners detained in the Baoding City Forced Labor Camp were forced to work overtime at night after a full day of work. The authorities claimed that the practitioners didn't finish their work in the daytime, so they had to work overtime. The authorities showed a fake timetable to the leaders who came to inspect and said that practitioners only worked six hours a day, but in fact the practitioners were forced to work over 10 hours. The police guards in that camp threatened the practitioners that they would extend their detention terms by one day for every day the practitioners refused to work. Thus, the guards would profit from the additional work.

    Seven practitioners are being held in the "Restricted Administration Class," including Ms. Zhang Lanfen, Ms. Guo Guiju, Ms. Dong Chunling, Ms. Dang Huiying, Ms. Liu Huiyun, and two others. One of them is a senior practitioner from Baoding City. They were forced to work from 5:00 a.m. till 11:00 p.m. The guards don't allow practitioners to talk to each other. A few months ago a female practitioner from Yi County was sent to the Baoding City Forced Labor Camp. Nine people tried to brainwash and reform her, but this fellow practitioner went on a hunger strike to protest her illegal detention. The guards force-fed her and tortured her with the "dead-person's bed."
