    Falun Gong Practitioner Mr. Li Wenjun on Hunger Strike for Over Four Months, Labor Camp Authorities Refuse to Release Him

     Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Li Wenjun from Jilin City is being held at the Yinmahe Forced Labor Camp in Jiutai. He went on a hunger strike on July 13, 2005, which has lasted more than four months. His parents visited him many times at the labor camp and requested his release, but the labor camp authorities only made up excuses and refused to release him.

    On November 3, 2005, Li Wenjun's parents again went to the Yinmahe Labor Camp and asked for Li Wenjun to be released. Guard Liu said, "We don't have the authority to release him. He is on a hunger strike, so we definitely can't let him go." He also told Li Wenjun's parents to "reform" their son. Li Wenjun's parents saw that his face was pallid and felt his hands were cold; he walked slowly.

    One week later, on November 10, Li Wenjun's parents again went to the labor camp. Zhen Hailing, Director of the Administration Section said, "Why are you here again? This labor camp is operating under isolated administration; we don't allow outside visits." The parents asked to meet with Li Wenjun. Zhen Hailing said, "I don't have the right to answer that request; the head of the labor camp is not here today." Li Wenjun's parents couldn't find the head of the labor camp and left a letter for him asking the authorities to take Li Wenjun for a physical examination.

    On November 22, Li Wenjun's parents went to the labor camp again and asked for his release. Guo, director of the labor camp claimed that Li Wenjun was not cooperating with the "reform" and the "administrative polices" (that are in fact persecution policies), so he would not be released. The authorities denied his parents' request to meet with him.

    On November 28, Li Wenjun's parents went to the labor camp once more and spoke with Liu, another labor camp director, and asked to take Li Wenjun home. Liu said, "He is still holding a hunger strike and is not cooperating with our administration. We can only extend his term and cannot release him." Guard Zhen said, "We can't let you see him. Each time after you meet with him he becomes more determined; we are now working on him and he is behaving much better than before. He has been on a hunger strike for 180 days already. We extend his term by one day for each day of hunger strike. Now it's almost the end of the year, and we are discussing whether to extend his term any further. If he agrees to eat, we won't extend his sentence."

    Li Wenjun's mother asked Liu if he had read the letter she wrote and Liu replied that he had. The mother asked, "Did you take Li Wenjun to have a physical examination?" Liu said no. Guard Zhen said, "We can't take him to an examination just because his family says so; if you want us to do that, you have to pay for it." Li Wenjun's mother said, "We already gave you 1,000 yuan, does that cover only a one-time examination? Liu told us they didn't take him to get an exam, but why do we have to pay more?" Liu replied that guard Zhen did not know about the payment. Li Wenjun's father said, "He is being held here; you should take responsibility for anything that happens to him. Why are you asking us for money?" Liu said, "We'll talk about it and get back to you."

    After they discussed the issue, guard Zhen said to Li Wenjun's parents, "You can meet with him, but you are not allowed to mention Falun Gong. If you do, the meeting will be terminated immediately."

    After Li Wenjun's parents went to the meeting room, they talked to Li Wenjun on the telephone across the glass partition. There were guards on both sides watching Li Wenjun and his parents. Li Wenjun's mother asked him, "Are you still on a hunger strike?" Li Wenjun answered, "Yes. They handcuff me and make me sit on a small stool each day from 5:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. I sleep very little." The guard snatched the phone from Li Wenjun's hand and spoke into the phone, "Li Wenjun threw himself against the floor, that's why we handcuffed him." Li Wenjun told his parents that he knew what to do and no one could manipulate him. He asked his parents not to worry about him.

    Two days later, on November 30, Li Wenjun's parents went to the labor camp again and asked Guo, head of the labor camp to release Li Wenjun. Guo said, "That's impossible. There are conditions if we are to release him." His parents said, "Li Wenjun is being wronged. There is no way for us to appeal for him; all the other agencies tell us that because he is held at a labor camp, only the labor camp authorities can make the decision." They asked the labor camp not to handcuff Li Wenjun and not to force him to sit on a stool. Guo said, "We'll think about it. We'll give him three days [for him to accept "reform"]. If he persists, we have other ways to deal with him."

    Right now, Li Wenjun is in a very difficult situation at the Yinmahe Forced Labor Camp. He is extremely weak and emaciated. He can hardly speak and is being force-fed twice a day.

    On March 16, 2004, officers from Weichang Police Station from the Changyi Police Department in Jilin City illegally arrested and savagely beat Li Wenjun. On April 16, 2004, the officer from that station fabricated charges and sentenced Li Wenjun to three years of forced labor. They sent him to the Yinmahe Forced Labor Camp. During this period, Li Wenjun held several hunger strikes and was physically brutalized. Li Wenjun's parents went to almost all of the relevant government agencies in Jilin City to seek justice for their son, yet these agencies gave them the run-around and his parents had no way to appeal for Li Wenjun.

    Anguished and worried, Li Wenjun's parents went to the labor camp more than 20 times to visit Li Wenjun. The guards didn't allow them to visit, claiming that Li Wenjun was not cooperating with the administration. After information about the persecution of Li Wenjun was exposed on the Minghui/Clearwisdom website, international organizations and the media paid attention to his plight. Many people, including Falun Gong practitioners living abroad, phoned the labor camp and confronted the guards for their crimes. Despite the pressure, the labor camp authorities still refuse to release Li Wenjun.

    Yu Zhenghong's Family Exposes How She Was Persecuted to Death

     My name is Zhou Chengsha and I live in Siqian Village, Songcun Town, Wendeng, Yantai City, Shandong Province. My wife, Yu Zhenghong, died as a result of the persecution on November 17, 2005.

    Yu Zhenghong used to suffer from all kinds of illnesses. She was often sick for three months at a time. During such times she could not cook or work in the fields. I had to stay home to take care of her, cook and take care of our child. We spent all of our savings on various medical treatments, and as a result our life was very difficult.

    After practicing Falun Gong in the summer of 1997, my wife became healthier each day. In time all of her previous illnesses were gone. She could do any amount of work she wanted, and she could work at the factory. Life at home also improved. We conducted ourselves according to the principles taught by our Teacher of Truth, Compassion, Forbearance, and this helped greatly to improve our moral character.  Previously, I insulted and beat people I didn't like. However, after my wife started practicing Falun Gong, I also become a good person.

    The good times didn't last though. After July 20, 1999, Falun Gong suffered a terrible wrong. One day in October 1999 around 10 p.m., Xing Shuwu and Yu Jincheng led a group of people from the Songcun Town Police Station to Wendeng. These people broke into our home and stole Falun Gong Teacher's picture and all of our Falun Gong materials. In addition, they illegally arrested my wife. They cuffed her to a chair in the freezing winter cold for 24 hours. I went to ask for her release, and they asked me to write a guarantee statement to promise that she would never practice Falun Gong again or appeal for Falun Gong. I wrote it against my better judgment, and I never saw my wife smile again.

    In June 2000 my wife decided to go to Beijing to speak some words of justice for Teacher and Falun Gong. Li Yinglin and some other perpetrators at Wendeng Liaison Office in Beijing arrested her and brought her back to Wendeng Custody Center, where she was beaten and insulted by the guards. She was detained there for 15 days and was then sent to Songcun Police Station in Wendeng. After dark the village Party secretary wrote guarantee statements in her name and then she was rleased. On the next day, Xiang Hongping and other perpetrators tried to make my wife go to a brainwashing class held at the Songcun Movie Theatre. My wife firmly refused.

    Later, during the fall harvest of the same year, Xiang Hongping and Yu Jincheng again came to my home and took my wife away. They held her at Wendeng Custody Center for more than half a month. Several days after she returned home, they arrested her again. She was held for more than ten days at the Songcun Movie Theatre. The authorities asked me to pay 3,000 yuan before they would release her. I borrowed 2,000 yuan and gave it to them, and then I took my wife home.

    On the morning of June 1, 2001, (Children's Day in China) my wife told our child that she would do something special with him for the holiday after she got off work at noon. However, at noon someone brought her bike home and told me that more than ten 610 Office agents had arrested her on her way home from work. My child was supposed to enjoy this holiday, but he could not even see his mother. I felt terrible. My wife was taken to a brainwashing class held by Xiang Hongping, Bi Jianwei, Sang Hongbo and others. My wife was tortured until she had a relapse of her old illnesses. After I learned about this I went to the brainwashing class, and demanded that they release her. Their response was, "We are only in charge of detaining people; not releasing people. If anything happens to her, you can take your complaint to the government."

    The Wendeng Bone Setting Hospital has been taking part in the persecution over the past six years. The lead doctor told the perpetrators that my wife was at risk and she would die soon if she was kept at the hospital. They then released her.

    When I carried my wife out of the hospital on my back, she had but a breath of life left, but she was revived through practicing Falun Gong. Before the October 1 holiday, she was just able to go to work again when a dozen agents from the Wendeng 610 Office and the police department again ransacked our house and took all of our Falun Gong books. My wife left home and lived in exile to avoid another arrest.

    In September 2003 they found her and ransacked her temporary residence. They took her back to Wendeng Custody Center. She held a hunger strike. On the fourth day they took her to Wendeng Bone Setting Hospital to force-feed her. On the eighth day they sentenced her to two years of forced labor. She was sent to Jinan City, but she was too weak and the labor camp refused to take her. The labor camp in Zibo City also refused to take her. They had no choice but to let her go home. Still, they constantly harassed us at our home.

    Around 6:30 a.m. on September 27, a dozen agents from Wendeng 610 Office, including a person with last name of Liu, Xiang Hongping and Sun Guohai, ransacked our home and took my wife. They sent her to Wendeng Detention Center. They used despicable means to attempt to force her to give up practicing Falun Gong, and she held a hunger strike. She was taken to the same hospital again on the 12th day to be force-fed. On the 14th day she was tortured to the brink of death and then transferred to Wendeng Central Hospital. The hospital staff asked to locate her family, but the 610 Office agents denied their request. After a medical exam, my wife was diagnosed with high blood pressure and severe heart disease. On the 15th day they were afraid she would die at Wendeng Detention Center, so they released her. My wife never recovered, and she passed away around 10 p.m. on November 17, 2005 (at the age of 43).

    Jiang Daimin (secretary of Wendeng Party Committee), Wendeng Police Department 610 Office (currently called the Wendeng National Security Bureau), and police officers Xiang Hongping and Sun Guohai are undeniably responsible for the death of Yu Zhenghong. We, the family of Yu Zhenghong, will seek justice by holding the related persons legally responsible for their actions.

    Exposing the Crimes Committed by the Officers of Division One of the Fushun City Police Department, and the Crimes Committed Inside the "Small White Building"

    Officers of Division One of the Fushun City Police Department of Liaoning Province, have been arresting and persecuting Falun Gong practitioners since July 20, 1999. The perpetrators of these crimes are personally responsible for the deaths of several Falun Gong practitioners, and have also disabled many more. The basement of the Criminal Police Group building, which is referred to as the "Small White Building" by local citizens, is where the officers of Division One torture practitioners to coerce their "confessions".

    According to the signboard, Division One is now called the "Domestic Public Security Section." The Internet Monitoring Division of the Fushun City Police Department is also located here.


    The Murderers of Division One Have Stained Their Hands With the Blood of Falun Gong Practitioners

    I. Torturing Falun Gong Practitioners to Death

    1. Ms. Li Ying was a Falun Gong practitioner in Fushun City, Liaoning Province. She lived on Xiuyan Street, Wanghua District. On March 31, 2003, Ms. Li was arrested by police from Division One and suffered severe torture while officers interrogated her. She died after enduring three days of torture.

    2. Ms. Wang Xiuxia, was a 42-year-old Falun Gong practitioner in Qingyuan County, Fushun City, Liaoning Province. On May 29, 2003, more than 20 police officers arrested her. On the evening of June 15, police notified Ms. Wang's family of her death. In 2005, while the officers of Division One brutalized several Falun Gong practitioners in their custody, they shamelessly shouted, "We beat Wang Xiuxia to death! Go ahead and try to sue us!"

    3. Mr. Gai Chunlin was a Falun Gong practitioner from Bawanggou Village, Nankouqian Town, Qingyuan County, Fushun City. On April 14, 2005, officers from Division One arrested him. On May 6, his family was notified of his death.

    It is worth pointing out that although some practitioners passed away in other places, such as detention centers, after they were transferred from Division One, the police in Division One were the ones who were directly involved in arresting and torturing these practitioners. They are therefore directly responsible for these deaths.

    II. Severely Injuring Practitioners

    1. Mr. Dou Zhenyang and Mr. Wang Hongjun Suffered a Torture Method Called "Penetrating the Forest."

    In 2000, Mr. Dou Zhenyang and Mr. Wang Hongjun were falsely charged with attempting to derail a train. The police used a torture method called "penetrating the forest" to torture them. They couldn't withstand the torture, so they confessed to the false charges, and were sentenced to life in prison.

    2. Ms. Li Ying (a different practitioner from the Ms. Li Ying mentioned above) was illegally arrested from home in January 2001, just before the Chinese New Year. The police tortured her and caused nerve atrophy on her right arm. She can no longer take care of herself. Later, she was secretly sentenced to 11 years in prison and sent to Dabei Prison. Initially, Dabei Prison refused to accept Ms. Li. After the police officers of Fushun City bribed the prison authorities, they admitted her to the prison, where she has been held to this day.

    3. In 2002, Ms. Sun Yongli was arrested along with several other practitioners, including Ms. Wang Xiaoyan, Yan Jun, Wang Shengtao, Zhai Xu, Meng Hua and Zou Shengrong (who was tortured to death). The officers of Division One tortured them ruthlessly. As a result, both of Sun Yongli's legs were disabled, and she is no longer able to walk. She can no longer take care of herself, but the officers of Division One still sent her to the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp.

    4. Police officers from Division One arrested Mr. Wang Youcai during a mass arrest in March 2003. They beat his legs so violently that the flesh and bones were separated. His legs were severely swollen. The police brazenly shouted in front of other arrested practitioners, "We are the ones who crippled Wang Youcai."

    5. Mr. Zhang Jinsheng is a Falun Gong practitioner from Qingyuan County, Fushun City. In April 200, he was arrested and the police officers of Division One tortured him in an attempt to force him to confess to the false charge of "conspiring with hostile overseas forces." Mr. Zhang Jinsheng's skull was fractured as a result of the torture he endured.

    6. Ms. Lu Yan was arrested on March 15, 2005. Four policemen took turns beating her. They put handcuffs and shackles on her and hung her up to beat her, used high-voltage electric batons to shock her, pulled out her hair and stretched her legs sideways to the extreme points until she lost consciousness. Her face was distorted, swollen and black and blue all over. She was partially paralyzed and couldn't move her body. Later, Lu Yan was sentenced to imprisonment.

    7. Mr. Zhou Shuyou lived in Beisanjia Township, Qingyuan County. He used to work at the Cangshi Train Station. On the evening of March 21, 2005 officers Guan Yong and Chen Daqing of Division One arrested Mr. Zhou and interrogated him on the evening of April 6. During the interrogation, Guan Yong and Zhang Tao beat him and shocked him with electric batons. Later Guan Yong and other policemen forcefully yanked Mr. Zhou's legs apart and struck him in the genitals. Mr. Zhou's testicle was swollen from the beating, and he was unable to walk. He is still suffering abdominal pain and cannot stand up straight. He is now detained at the Fushun Forced Labor Camp, serving a three-year term.

    8. On April 14, 2005, police officers from Division One, working in collusion with officers from the Qingyuan County Police Department, went to Nankouqian Town, Qingyuan County, and arrested 56 Falun Gong practitioners. The arrested practitioners were interrogated individually, one at a time. Everyone was savagely beaten; even the women, children and elderly practitioners were not spared. Oftentimes, they beat the practitioner being interrogated to the point of unconsciousness, and then they'd douse the practitioner with cold water to revive him or her. A female practitioner fainted on the spot during interrogation. She was immediately sent to the emergency room. She might have died without the emergency medical treatment. Currently, this practitioner is still unable to take care of herself. Police officer Guan Yong beat practitioner Ma Xijun and tortured him with electric shocks until he passed out. For ten days, Ma Xijun suffered nausea and vomited a lot; he couldn't walk and wasn't mentally alert, but his family wasn't notified and allowed to take him home until he was on the verge of death.

    9. Mr. Zhang Huiqiang is a senior engineer in the instrument division at the Ethylene Chemical Corporation in Fushun City. On May 23, 2002, police from Division One arrested him at work and used torture to extort a confession from him. The perpetrators burned his hands with a lighter, used the hot metal part of the lighter to burn his nipples, and ripped his fingernails out. Later, he was sentenced to six years of imprisonment in Dabei Prison.

    10. The police officers of Division One hammered bamboo sticks under Ms. Miao Shuqing's fingernails and pierced two of her fingers with toothpicks.

    III. Illegal Arrests, Cruel Tortures, Countless Persecution Cases

    The number of persecution cases committed against Falun Gong practitioners by the officers of Division One is incalculable. Among them are illegal arrests, torture, and illegal sentences to labor camps and prison. Below are more examples of the crimes committed by the police officers of Division One. Each case is soaked with the blood and tears of Falun Gong practitioners and their loved ones.

    1. On December 16, 2000, more than 60 Falun Gong practitioners were sharing their Falun Gong practicing experiences at a practitioner's home. More than 150 police officers besieged and arrested these practitioners, charging them with illegal assembly and illegally practicing the Falun Gong exercises. The practitioners were incarcerated in forced labor camps and detention centers, and subjected to persecution. Among these practitioners were Zheng Hong, Ren Yi, Jiang Guofang, Ma Hongxia, Sun Yongsheng, Ma Huaidong, Huang Gang, Lu Hong, Hou Jun, Hu Guojiang, Gao Jian, Qi Shaowen, Liu Helun and others. Huang Gang and Hu Guojian suffered cruel torture at the hands of the officers of Division One, and were later sentenced to lengthy terms.

    2. On December 24, 2001, a truth clarification materials production site in Xinhua District, Fushun City was destroyed. Practitioners suffered large losses, including computer equipment and materials promoting Falun Gong. One practitioner was arrested. Officers from Division One coerced a confession from him by applying ruthless torture methods.

    3. Mr. Wei Zaixin was a senior engineer at the Science and Technology Advancement College of Fushun City. On February 7, 2002, he was arrested and beaten by police officers from Division One, and then sent to the "Strictly Disciplined" division at the Fushun Forced Labor Camp. A few months later, Mr. Wei was tortured to death.

    4. On May 13, 2002, officers from Division One went to Yongling Police Station to beat practitioner Wang Xiaoming and take him away. They kept beating him savagely as they dragged him from the second floor to the first floor. Mr. Wang was covered in bruises and other injuries. Then the Division One officers took him to the Fushun Police Department and tortured him.

    5. On June 28, 2002, Falun Gong practitioner Liu Guangying of Jiangjun District, Fushun City was arrested by the officers of Division One. At that time, he had been living on the streets for three and half months to avoid persecution. He was sentenced to three years forced labor and is now incarcerated at the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp in Shenyang.

    6. On the evening of July 6, 2002, police officers from Division One discovered practitioner Liu Zhange's residence and took him away. They also confiscated his personal computer. Some of them hid in the vicinity of Mr. Liu's residence, hoping to arrest more Falun Gong practitioners. They snared and arrested practitioner Zhang, who came from another city. Division One officers tortured both practitioners.

    7. Between August and late September 2002, the police officers of Division One arrested Falun Gong practitioners Ma Huaidong and Lu Renqing while they were clarifying the truth to people, and subjected them to brutal torture. Immediately after that, Falun Gong practitioners Zhao Yuhong, Ma Hongxia and Guan Juying were in turn arrested and tortured. In early October, practitioners Sun Yongsheng, Ms. Jia Niazhi, Ms. Qu Cailing, Ms. Jin Shunnu, Ms. Hou Xiaohui, Ms. Wu Xiaoyan, Gao Guirong, Xing Yurong, Ms. Miao Shuqing, Ms. Dai Yulan, Song Wenliang, Wang Chengtao, Ms. Sun Qian, and Dong Qingfei were arrested in succession. All of them were sentenced to lengthy terms in July 2003. Later, practitioners Ms. Wu Yanbo, Ms. Zhou Yuzhi, Zhou Kan and other practitioners were arrested and suffered brutal torture at the hands of Division One officers.

    8. In September 2002, police from Division One arrested Hu Wei, a Fudan University graduate who was living in his relative's house in Fushun City. Officers coerced a confession from him through torture, and confiscated his cell phone, watch, credit cards and cash. In late September 2002 Hu Wei was sentenced to forced labor at the Fushun Forced Labor Camp.

    9. On March 1, 2003, Division One officers destroyed a Falun Gong materials production site in Gebu District, Fushun City. Police arrested Ms. Hou Xiaohui and several other practitioners. On March 2, another materials production site in Wanghua District was ransacked. The police confiscated an all-in-one printer/copier/scanner, two more photocopiers, and other miscellaneous equipment and paper, worth in excess of 50,000 yuan.

    10. Between March 18 and March 28, 2003 police from Division One colluded with local police officer Xiao Gang and others from the Hongtoushan Police Station to carry out mass arrests of practitioners in a copper mine in the Hongtoushan region. Practitioners Ms. Zhang Huamei, Ms. Liang Suyun, Liang Junhua, Yang Shuxian, Ms. Cao Yanzhen, Liu Xiangyu, Wang Shuyun, Aunt Zou, Ms. Gao Xiuqin, Du Jinfeng, Zhou Hongqin, Ms. Li Shuqin and her daughter were arrested in succession. Among these practitioners, Ms. Zhang Huamei had over 7,000 yuan taken away from her family by the police and she was beaten to the extent that she couldn't stand up.

    11. In May 2003, police from Division One arrested several Falun Gong practitioners in Qingyuan County with the assistance of unscrupulous collaborators.

Ms. Wei Minghua was a teacher in the First Middle School of Qingyuan County. The police beat her to the ground and dragged her by her legs to a police van with her head scraping the ground in front of all the teachers and students. As for practitioner Li Wensong, the police carried him to the van from the sixth floor.

    12. Yang Boliang is a 46-year-old Falun Gong practitioner from Hongtoushan Town (also known as Hongtoushan Mine). He was a taxi-tricycle driver. On August 18, 2004, he was trapped and arrested. Hao Jianguang, the director of Division One, Section Chief Liu, police officers Guan Yong and Zhang Bin and others beat him brutally. Later, he was sentenced to three years of forced labor. Now Mr. Yang is detained at the Fushun Forced Labor Camp.

    13. Police officers from Division One arrested practitioners Zhao Yunshan and Ms. Dong Linlin on September 18, 2004. Zhao Yunshan was sentenced to forced labor around October 1, and is now incarcerated at the Fushun Forced Labor Camp. Ms. Dong Linlin was also sentenced to forced labor and was sent to the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp.

    14. In October 2004, Hao Jianguang of Division One led more than ten officers to the Lishi Police Station to torture practitioner Yuan Peng. They also dispatched police to hide in the vicinity of the Lishi Development District, in an attempt to arrest more practitioners.

    15. In late November 2004, police officers from Division One went to Yongling Town, Xinbin County, Fushun City to extort money from practitioners Li Hong and Han Junhui, who sent text messages about Falun Gong using their cell phones. The police extorted 4,000 and 5,000 yuan from Li Hong and Han Junhui, respectively.

    16. At 8:00 p.m. on January 12, 2005 more than a dozen police officers from Division One pried open a security door to arrest practitioners Lin Bo and Ms. Wang Guoying. They confiscated materials worth more than 100,000 yuan. Falun Gong practitioners Ms. Cheng Min (in her 20's) and her husband, who is not a practitioner, were arrested around the same time. In June 2005, Lin Bo and Wang Guoying were sentenced to eight years and nine years of imprisonment, respectively. Wang Guoying's husband is practitioner Dou Zhenyang, who was falsely charged for "attempting to derail a train," and was sentenced to life imprisonment. Their son is now being cared for by his grandparents. They lead a very difficult life.

    17. At 5:00 p.m. on March 15, 2005, more than ten police officers from Division One broke into the residence of a practitioner in Nankouqian Town, Qingyuan County and forcibly took Ms. Gai Xiuqin and Lu Guanglin, Ms. Lin Guilan, Lu Yan, and Ms. Chen Guifeng to Division One headquarters. They confiscated all the equipment and paper, and took 20,000 yuan in cash by force. On March 22, Lu Guanglin was sent to the First Detention Center of Fushun City. The other four practitioners were sent to the Second Detention Center of Fushun City. Lu Yan was sentenced to prison after he was detained for one month.

    18. On March 19, 2005, Ms. Pei Dongzhi and Ms. Pei Donghua, two sisters from Nanzamu, were arrested at home by local police and officers from Division One. They were beaten severely on the spot.

    19. At 9:00 p.m. on March 24, 2005, officers from Division One, along with officers from the Yaozhan Police Station in Qingyuan County and state security agents, arrested Mr. Liu Zaijun and another practitioner in the Xiazhaizhi region.

They knocked on the door and attempted to pry the door open. Now Jiang Jie's entire family are afraid to go back to their own home. Their children were left unattended and couldn't go to school.

    Practitioner Cui Shimin from Tieling County, Liaoning Province Persecuted, Jailed, and Denied Medical Treatment

     Mr. Cui Shimin, a Falun Gong practitioner from Dadianzi Town, Tieling County, Liaoning Province, went to Beijing several times to appeal for justice for Falun Gong after the persecution began in 1999. He endured persecution by both the city and county police departments and eventually was fired from his job and forced into homelessness with his wife. They continued to clarify the truth to the public while the county police continued to persecute them.

    At the end of 2004, the county office sent a notification stating that Mr. Cui would be paid retroactively for his past wages so long as he came back to the county. So Mr. and Mrs. Cui went home and they were paid two months worth of wages and were told that the balance would be paid on May 1, 2005.

    However, in February 2005, officers from the county police department forcefully arrested Mr. Cui. The officers were so violent that they threw him to the ground, injuring his back as he held onto the home heating radiator while resisting the arrest. The injury was so severe that that even now he cannot walk with his back straight. Mr. Cui was illegally detained in the county forced labor camp near Qilitun after his arrest.

    Recently, the authorities again sent a notification to have Mrs. Cui pay 10,000 yuan for her husband's medical expenses. Mrs. Cui didn't comply with this unreasonable demand, so the officers from the county police arrested her and later let her go after extorting 10,000 yuan from them. Mr. Cui's injury still didn't get proper medical attention.

    According to analysis, it was likely that the police department had wiretapped or installed a video monitoring device in Mr. Cui's home, because the authorities seemed to know all the details about their activities at home. There is no other way the police could have known these things because the couple didn't have visitors on those days and there were no police monitoring activities around their house at that time.

    Furthermore, the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in Dadianzi Town is still very serious. Many practitioners have difficulty obtaining current Falun Gong materials and they are afraid to meet up with each other because many of them are being watched by the authorities.

    Torture Methods at the Ping'antai Forced Labor Camp in Gansu Province, Part 1

    Since July 20, 1999, the Ping'antai Forced Labor Camp has been one of the main places where Falun Gong practitioners in Gansu Province are persecuted. Several hundred practitioners were held there. The guards and inmates, many of whom are drug addicts, used various barbarous methods to persecute the practitioners. They used sleep deprivation, brainwashing, beating, framing, slander and sentence-extensions, etc.

    In late April 2003, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) carried out another round of persecution, code named "Spring Thunder." In response to orders from the CCP, several officials, Deng Desheng, head of Division 3, political head Xu Wanjun who was later promoted to the head of Division 6 and was subsequently fired, group head Lian Jincai, guard Han Ximing, currently the political head of Group 16 in Division 6 - selected six brawny drug addicts. They were to torture Falun Gong practitioners Yang Lichuang, Yang Xiaochuan and Dong Xuezhou. Group head Lian Jincai and Han Ximing ordered Bai Yanhu, Sun Weimin, Guo Jianxin and a few others to beat Dong Xuezhou for three days, during which time people heard heart-wrenching screams.

    On the afternoon of the third day, Dong Xuezhou's screams were heard in the orchard by the camp's North District dorm building. Many people who were digging holes to plant trees stopped working and tried to find out what was happening. Division head Deng Desheng made a phone call and said, "Group head Han, what's going on? We can hear him from all the way over here. That will have a negative impact on the reputation of our labor camp! Why don't you gag him?"

    Li Wenhui, a guard at Division Six often says, "I have lots of ways to 'fix' disobedient Falun Gong practitioners. I can put a few articles by Falun Gong's teacher under your bed. Then I'll claim you are hiding Falun Gong articles and extend your sentence by six months. I can tie you up and hang you for ten minutes so you'll feel you are better off dead."

    The following re-enactment photographs demonstrate the tortures:

    "Hanging:" the upper body is bent forward at a 90 degree angle with the legs, the practitioner's arms are raised straight up and are parallel to his legs, and his legs are stretched as straight as possible. The practitioner will tremble from exhaustion after about ten minutes, and his arms and legs are tired and sore.

    Reenactment photo

    This is an extremely cruel torture. According to the drug addicts, no one can last ten minutes while being tortured this way. The practitioner's arms are pulled behind him. His hands are tied together so that the inside of his wrists are turned away from the body, and he is then hung by a pair of handcuffs. The pain is so excruciating that the practitioner usually cannot move his arms after a few minutes and will not recover until after a few months. Some practitioners have become disabled through this torture.

    Reenactment photo

    "Holding up a nail" - Two practitioners are forced to bow toward each other and hold up a nail or a chopstick between their foreheads. If they drop the nail, the perpetrators beat and kick them. After a few minutes, the nail will cause bleeding and pain.

    Reenactment photo

    "Knocking the anklebone" - The persecutors strike the practitioner's anklebone with brutal force, which causes great pain and swelling of the ankle. Usually, the practitioner cannot walk normally for a few days after this torture.

    Two reenactment photos

    "Chopping the jugular vein" - The brutes chop the left side of practitioner's neck on the jugular vein with the side of their hands, making the practitioner have difficulty turning his head and swallowing afterwards. The condition does not improve until a few days later.

    Reenactment photo

    "Smashing the kidneys"

    a. The practitioner is hung up and the guards elbow the lower back and kidney areas with strong force. The practitioner usually has difficulty standing up, and urinates blood after this torture.

    b. Two cruel people twist the practitioner's arms behind him and force him into a squatting or kneeling position. They then violently knee the practitioner's kidneys repeatedly. The practitioner usually has difficulty standing up and urinates blood after this torture.

    Reenactment photo

    "Carrying a sword on one's back" - This torture is used on practitioners who do not complete their work assignments. One hand comes down from the shoulder and the other hand comes up. The hands meet halfway behind the back. The jailers handcuff the practitioner and whip the practitioner's buttocks with tree branches and keep him handcuffed in this painful position. When the time to complete the day's work approaches, these evildoers scream at the practitioners to keep up or they kick the practitioners.

    Reenactment photo

    "Handcuffing and hang up" - The perpetrators handcuff the practitioner and hang him up.

    Falun Gong Practitioner Ms. Li Jianmei in Shandong Province Recalls the Persecution She Suffered

    Ms. Li Jianmei is a Falun Gong practitioners in Jinan City, Shandong Province who has suffered severe persecution. In the past few years since the persecution started, Jianmei was arrested twice, and sentenced to forced labor each time. She has survived severe tortures.

    Li Jianmei's First Arrest

    On October 25, 2000 Jianmei was arrested for the first time. She was tricked into going to the local police station, not knowing the real reason behind it. Afterwards she was detained in a forced labor camp. At 3:00 a.m. the next morning, she practiced the exercises, but was discovered by the guards, who incited more than twenty criminals to torture her. They grabbed her hair, kicked and beat her. They also tied her hands and feet separately onto a queen-sized bed. They tied a rope around her waist and tied the other end of the rope onto the opposite bed. Then an inmate held onto the rope tightly and hung his entire body on it. Jianmei felt a rush of severe pain as if all the organs inside her body were being pulled out. She let out a loud cry and then fainted. While unconscious, she seemed to hear someone say she was faking. After that, someone poured two basins of cold water on her face. This kind of torture lasted for the entire evening. The guards did not stop torturing her until 6:30 a.m.

    Jianmei was very weak by this time. Police officer Zhao Jie then ordered Jianmei to work. Jianmei firmly refused and also protested the brutal persecution. Police officers Zhao Jie and Wang Ning then locked Jianmei in a room where they shocked her with two large electric batons. They shocked her hands, face and the back of her head. When they shocked Ms. Li's head, she fainted immediately. After she woke up, Zhao and Wang ordered her to write the guarantee statement, but Jianmei firmly refused.

    Later, she suffered more brutal torturing and was once "reformed" by the evils. Afterward she regained her senses, wrote a solemn statement, and started practicing Falun Gong again. After she was released from the labor camp, she kept on reading Falun Gong books diligently and shared experiences with fellow practitioners; she became clear-minded. From then on, Jianmei has been firmly practicing Falun Gong.

    Li Jianmei was Arrested a Second Time

    One day in July 2003, chief of police Li from the Huanyin District and persons from the neighborhood committee in the Jinan Military Region Lumber Plant suddenly arrived and searched Jianmei's residence. They arrested her and locked her up at the Huanyin District Police Station. Jianmei shouted loudly, "Falun Dafa is righteous!" "Falun Dafa is good!" In the local police station, policeman Fang Hua and four other officers interrogated her. Jianmei firmly refused to cooperate. They then held her down and handcuffed her hands behind her back. Jianmei's daughter was extremely sorrowful and threw herself into the fray to rescue her mother, but the police s kicked her and she was thrown a distance away. That evening, the daughter and mother were detained together by the local police station personnel. Furthermore, the police claimed that the child was not obedient. They would not let her sleep on the sofa. She had to sleep on the ground.

    The next day Jianmei was transferred to the Liu Changshan Local Police Station where the officials subjected her to a humiliating body search. While resisting the search, Jianmei consistently clarified the truth to the police. The police, however, instead of listening to her, hit her face whenever she opened her mouth. But Jianmei did not stop. Police Li forced Jianmei to take off her shoes and handcuffed her to a window, bare-footed, for the entire evening. The next morning when the police asked Jianmei if she would continue practicing Falun Gong she firmly replied, "Of course!" From that day on Jianmei held a hunger strike. On the sixth day, the police began to force-feed her. 

    On August 8, 2003, Jianmei was imprisoned for the second time in the Shandong Province First Women's Forced Labor Camp (also called Jiangshui Quan Women's Labor Camp). Police officers Niu Xuelian and Zhao Jieba locked her in a room inside the workshop. She continuously shouted, "Falun Dafa is good!" Her righteous behavior inspired all the other Falun Gong practitioners in the workshop. In order to resist the persecution together, all the practitioners in the entire workshop held a strike. This action enormously frightened guards Niu Xuelian and Zhao Jie from Team Five. From then on they dared not continue slave labor in the basement. That workshop was henceforth turned into a warehouse.

    Jianmei was once locked inside a broadcasting studio while they were broadcasting an anti-Falun Gong program. Evildoers Zhang Hong and Rong Fengju had just left the room. Jianmei grabbed this opportunity, instantaneously took up the microphone and loudly announced, "The program just broadcast now was all lies and fabrications. Falun Dafa is righteous! Falun Dafa is good! Do not believe the lies."

    The entire labor camp could hear her. The genuine practitioners were enormously inspired. Simultaneously it also frightened the evil forces. Then the Team Five broadcast studio closed.

    Letting Go of the Attachment to Life and Death - Walking on the Righteous Path with Righteous Thoughts

    In vicious places like labor camps it is extremely difficult to continue practicing Falun Gong exercises. Many practitioners suffered severe torture merely for practicing Falun Gong exercises. The same was true with Li Jianmei. She also suffered all kinds of brutal tortures for practicing the exercises.

    On February 18, 2004, guard Wang Shuzhen came to Team Five. Many steadfast practitioners in this camp had suffered from Wang's savage tortures. Jianmei was no exception. To stop Jianmei from practicing the exercises, Wang locked Jianmei inside an activity room managed by inmates. Because Jianmei practiced the exercises, inmate Lin Qingqing reported her many times. Hence, Wang locked Jianmei inside the "strictly controlled" room and forced Jianmei and other practitioners who refused to be "reformed" to sit on small stools. Since Jianmei refused to cooperate with the vicious forces she was hit every day. Finally the vicious people noticed that this method was not working with Jianmei. On March 31, 2004 they tied Jianmei onto a death bed for 52 days. Wang frequently hit and scolded Jianmei during those days. 

    After 52 days, guards found that this was not working either. They then attempted to force Jianmei to practice marching in formation. Once again Jianmei refused. Wang then tied Jianmei up again. She also forced Jianmei to stay motionless. A little bit of movement would get Jianmei beaten. The inmate Zhang Hongyan who was responsible for supervising Jianmei also put a urine soaked towel into Jianmei's mouth. Seeing that Jianmei was till not reformed, Wang then ordered the prisoners who were guarding Jianmei not to give Jianmei any food or water, and forbid her to get up and use the restroom. Jianmei's hands and feet were bound to the bed. On August 6, Jianmei returned to the prison cell.

    Falun Gong practitioners were forced to wear humiliating signs in the camp. Jianmei firmly refused to wear those signs, and because of this, the guards beat her cruelly several times. One time when Jianmei refused to wear a prisoner's sign, Dai Guihua reported her. Wang once again ordered that Jianmei be tied up and locked up in confinement one more time. During that whole time Jianmei was not given any food. They taped her mouth shut and beat and insulted her constantly. Due to the long-term torture, Jianmei suffered from serious physical injuries. During 2005 Chinese New Year, Jianmei spit up blood for nine days in a row. Wang even accelerated Jianmei's persecution. One time Wang told a male guard to cuff Jianmei's hands so tight that Jianmei's wrists were bleeding. Jianmei pointed out that this behavior was inhumane in nature. The male guard used a set of handcuffs to ruthlessly knock her on her head. The pain made her unable to speak.

    By July 2005, Jianmei had become emaciated from these tortures. Her whole body started to have measle-like spots. The guards were afraid. Hence, on July 4, 2005, Jianmei came out from this living hell, the Jiangshui Women's Forced Labor Camp. After reading Falun Gong books and practicing the exercises, Jianmei returned to health quickly. She now has rosy and glowing cheeks.

    The following persons were personally involved in the persecution of Li Jianmei:

    Guards from the labor camp: Zhao Jie, Wang Ning, Niu Xuelian, Wang Shuzhen
    Huaiyin District Local Police Station: Chief, Li, Meng Xianjun, Fang Hua

    Prisoners: Zhang Hong, Rong Fengju, Lin Qingchun, Zhang Hongyan, Wang Xue, Hu Sie, Zhang Xiuying, and Kang Yuechang.
