    Falun Dafa Practitioner Ms. Li Hongying from Taikang County, Heilongjiang Province Dies from Torture at the Harbin Drug Rehabilitation Center

    Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Li Hongying from Taikang County, Heilongjiang Province suffered from hemorrhaging since returning from the Harbin Drug Rehabilitation Center in mid-February 2005. She had been bleeding for a year at the rehab center, during which time the guards forced her to work, and abused her with various torture implements until her entire body swelled up and she bled non-stop. The guards told her family to pick her up when she was at the brink of death. She passed away on March 26, 2005.

    Below is Li Hongying's own narrative of her persecution at the Harbin Drug Rehabilitation Center before her death:

    My name is Li Hongying and I live in Taikang County, Heilongjiang Province. I began practicing Falun Dafa in 1997. After July 20, 1999, when the persecution began, I was illegally held at a detention center several times. On May 13, 2000, I went out and joined a Falun Dafa group exercise practice. Later, I was sent to a brainwashing class. I said some negative things under the influence of brainwashing which caused damage to Falun Gong. After I thought it over, I published a solemn announcement online. I was then sentenced to three years of forced labor and sent to the Harbin City Drug Rehabilitation Center to be persecuted.

    In November 2002, the guards launched the "battle against the determined" practitioners. The guards ordered inmates to take the practitioners into the basement in the winter, open the windows, strip the practitioners of their coats and leave them in sweatshirt and sweatpants. They handcuffed the practitioners and gagged them with dirty socks when they screamed, and shocked them with electric batons. Some guards ordered the inmates to hold the practitioners and then they shocked the insides of the practitioners' thighs. The practitioners' bodies turned black and blue.

    Practitioner Ms. Yang Ruiqin, 58, and practitioner Ms. Ding Hongjuan were forced to squat with their hands stretched out. The guards put a stool on each of their heads and hit them when the stool fell off. They called it "flying an airplane." One practitioner was tortured to death on the spot. An elderly practitioner, Ms. Liu Tongling, weighed about 150 pounds upon arrival. Later she held a hunger strike to protest the persecution, and she clarified the truth to the guards who force-fed her. One night the guards said she died from a heart attack. Team leader Li Quanming ordered inmates Liu Yan and Wang Rongmei to secretly remove her body.

    Practitioner Zhang Guixiang's legs were paralyzed from torture, and her weight dropped to about 40 lbs. She had to be carried to the restroom. The guards held her more than one month past her term.

    The guards saw me reading Teacher's articles in secret, so they locked me in the basement in the winter for one night. I had my menses, and I continued to bleed and have abdominal pain. I had to use the toilet eight times each night. This condition lasted for six months, after which I suffered from a severe hemorrhage. I was in a terrible state and my whole body was swollen. The guards finally sent me to the Harbin Medical University Hospital. The doctor said, "She could die at anytime." The guards were afraid of being held responsible, so they phoned my family and told them to take me home.

    More Than Fifty Falun Dafa Practitioners from Qingyuan County, Liaoning Province Arrested on the Same Day, Mr. Gai Chunlin Dies in Police Custody

    On April 14, 2005, more than fifty Falun Dafa practitioners from Nankouqian Township, Qingyuan County, Fushun City, Liaoning Province were arrested. Police surrounded each Falun Dafa practitioner's home before arresting them, frightening the local folks. On May 6, 2005, police notified the family of Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Gai Chunlin that Mr. Gai had died.

    On April 14, 2005, police from Fushun City and Qingyuan County departments sent fifty police vehicles to Bawanggou Village, Gengjiapu Village, Shipaidi Village in Nankouqian Town with their sirens blaring. They surrounded each Falun Dafa practitioner's home upon arriving, ransacked the homes and arrested the practitioners. At the time, Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Yu Fengying was burning paper money for her father, who had recently passed away. The police took her away before she could attend the funeral.

    Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Gai Chunlin from Bawanggou Village was arrested at his home. On May 6, 2005, his family was notified that he had died. People have learned that the police in Fushun City First Division branch are very cruel and often torture Falun Dafa practitioners. They routinely beat Falun Dafa practitioners until they pass out, and then pour cold water on them to revive them. One policeman said while during torturing Falun Dafa practitioners, "We beat Wang Touxia to death!"

    We have learned that the stepped up pattern of arrests is an attempt to stop the spreading of the Nine Commentaries on the Chinese Communist Party. On April 18, 2005, the CCP Qingyuan County Committee held an urgent meeting to plan strategy for monitoring Falun Dafa practitioners, such as using four people to watch each practitioner, door to door questioning, and so on. On the afternoon of the same day, Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Jing, who is more than 60 years old, was arrested.

    Ms. Gan Yulan from Tianlin County, Guangxi Province Died as a Result of Torture in 2003

    Ms. Gan Yulan was 35 years old and lived in Leli Town, Tianlin County, Guangxi Province. She started practicing Falun Dafa in 1996. On September 20, 2001, she was arrested by policemen while posting Falun Dafa truth-clarifying flyers. Police ransacked her home and confiscated all her Falun Dafa books and materials. She was sent to Nanning City Women Labor Camp where she endured numerous tortures, which severely damaged her mental and physical health. She became very ill with severe pulmonary disease and was and sent back home in June 2002. Agents from the local 610 office continued to harass and threaten her at her home, and then sent her back to the Labor Camp in July 2002. Her condition worsened, and she was sent home because she was dying. She passed away on September 15, 2003.


    Mr. Guo Shijun Is Tortured to Death, Police Cremate His Body without Permission

    On March 26, 2005, due to video footage about Mr. Guo Shijun's death by torture posted on the Minghui/Clearwisdom websites, Harbin City's authorities were so alarmed that the city police, the Nangang District police, and two department officials took up the case. Against the family's wishes, they cremated Mr. Guo's corpse on March 29, 2005.

    Mr. Guo Shijun was a Falun Gong practitioner in Red Flag Village, Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province. The Shuangcheng City police arrested him for handing out truth-clarification materials in February 2004. He was detained for a year in Harbin City's Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp, where he was tortured with electric batons, the iron chair and other devices. The police didn't release him until he was at death's door. He died eight days later, on February 9, 2005. His body was completely covered with ghastly black and blue bruises.

    After the video footage exposing Mr. Guo's death appeared on the Internet', the Harbin City Police Department, the City Agriculture Committee, the Nangang City Police Department, the Red Flag Village Police Station, and probably the National Security Department cremated his body at night on March 29, 2005. In addition, the officials started an intensive investigation into the source of the news footage exposure. They declared their intention to find out the party responsible for the news leak rather than to investigate the criminals who had tortured Mr. Guo to death.

    Recent Arrests of Falun Gong Practitioners in Mainland China (II)

    Part 1: /emh/articles/2005/5/12/60668.html

    Currently, the vicious regime in Mainland China is arresting Falun Gong practitioners on a large scale. According to information from various sources, this mass arrest was planned nationwide to target practitioners. This severe round of persecution is the largest in scale since the persecution began on July 20, 1999. It also once again proves the evil nature of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Lately, we have heard many cases of practitioners being arrested and their property ransacked in various regions, including Beijing, Jilin Province, Heilongjiang Province, Hunan Province, Shandong Province, Hebei Province, Guangdong Province, and many other locations.

    Practitioners Liu Junping and Liu Junying Were Arrested in Jushan Village of Sijiqing Town, Haidian Distric, Beijing

    Liu Junping and Liu Junying are practitioners in Jushan Village of Sijiqing Town, Haidian District in Beijing. On April 4, 2005, they were arrested in Oushang Supermarket when distributing truth-clarification materials. They are now illegally detained in Qinghe Haidian Detention Center.

    Recent Vicious Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners by Police in Antu District, Jilin Province

    On April 10, 2005, when Falun Gong practitioners Zhao Fengxian and Sun Huanyi clarified the truth and distributed truth-clarifying materials in Mingyue Town, they were followed by people intent on arresting them. That night, the police searched their homes and confiscated truth-clarification materials.

    On the evening of March 29, 2005, Falun Gong practitioner Guan Libo was reported to the police. The police illegally searched Guan Libo's home, and confiscated Falun Gong books as well as truth-clarifying materials. Guan Libo was detained in Antu Detention Center.

    On the morning of March 30, 2005, police illegally searched Falun Gong practitioner Yang Yanqiu's home and confiscated truth-clarifying materials.

    The above four practitioners were now illegally detained at the Antu Detention Center. The authorities are planning to send Zhao Fengxian and Sun Huanyi to prison, and to send Guan Libo and Yang Yanqiu to labor camps.

    Donghai Coal Mine Practitioner Li Yueqin and Others Arrested in Jixi City, Heilongjiang Province

    At 8 p.m. on April 19, 2005, Jidong County Police arrested practitioners Li Yueqin, Wang Jiacheng, Zhao Fengying, and Gao Fenglan. The police illegally confiscated more than 20 items of truth-clarifying materials and more than 3,000 yuan in cash. Wang Jiacheng, Gao Fenglan were forced to pay a fine of 3,000 yuan each, and were released at 1 p.m. on April 20.

    Falun Gong Practitioner Jiang Yulian Arrested in the No. 2 Hospital of Huaihua City

    On April 20, 2005, Huang Lin, of Hongjiang District No. 2 Hospital of Huaihua City, led more than 10 policemen to the office of practitioner Jiang Yulian. They forced open the locks on the drawers. Jiang Yulian's co-workers wanted to stop it but failed. As a result, several drawers were damaged. They also went to Jiang Yulian's house, forced open the gate, and confiscate some personal property. After Jiang Yulian got off work, she was taken to the police station for interrogation.

    The reason for these illegal police actions is that Jiang Yulian recently clarified the truth and gave a postcard to a patient. A nurse reported this to the Nursing Division, who in turn passed the information to 610 Office head Huang Lin. In fact, practitioners have already clarified the truth to Huang Lin. Jiang Yulian is currently detained in Hongjiang Division Detention Center.

    The following people are responsible for the persecution of Jiang Yulian:

    610 Office head Huang Lin, 86-13973078626 (Cell), 86-745-76225770 (Office)

    Falun Gong practitioners Niu Guifen and Zhang Liyuan (mother and daughter) were taken away from home by Laizhou City police. Right now, they are probably detained in Laizhou Detention.

    Police Recklessly Arrest Falun Gong Practitioners in Zhaoyuan City

    On April 7, two Falun Gong practitioners were arrested in the urban areas of Zhaoyuan City. At 11 a.m. on April 21, the police department dispatched police vans, 610 Office vehicles, three cars, as well as more than 10 policemen to a business location. They went to Beiyuan Road, and arrested two practitioners at work: Ms. Chen Shuhua (53 years old, working in the wholesale department) and Mr. Chen Shihuan (48 years old, working in the retail store). The police also ransacked the wholesale department and stole a computer and printer, both of which were for business use. They also ransacked Chen Shuhua's home. In the retail store, the vicious thugs messed up the clothes, bedding, and the entire store, as well as confiscated a Falun Gong book. Chen Shuhua's family members later found that the thugs had stolen two wallets. When the vicious thugs were arresting Chen Shihuan in the retail store, his son tried to stop them. Although Chen Shihuan's son is not a practitioner, he was also arrested. Currently, Chen Shihuan and his son are now illegally detained in Luofeng Road Police Station. On the same day, when Chen Shihuan's family went to visit, they saw that Mr. Chen's son had been brutally beaten by the police, while Chen Shihuan's whereabouts remain unknown.

    Zhang Wei, Deputy Secretary General of Zhaoyuan City, in charge of persecuting Falun Gong, was appointed to his position in February 2005. In March, he organized an anti-Falun Gong signature campaign throughout Zhaoyuan City. On April 15, he organized a meeting to persecute Falun Gong throughout Zhaoyuan City. During the meeting, orders were passed down from higher officers to reinforce the persecution. Many officials took part in the meeting including Zhang Wei (Zhaoyuan City Deputy Secretary General), Xu Linhong (Zhaoyuan City Secretary of Political and Judicial Committee), Cai Ping (head of Police Department), Liu Shuju (head of 610 Office).

    Urgent Call to Help Rescue Practitioners Ms. Li Xiulan and Ms. He Shuyan in Aohan County, Inner Mongolia

    Around 11 o'clock on the evening of April 11, 2005, while Ms. Li Xiulan and Ms. He Shuyan were out on the streets posting Statements of Resignations from the CCP published by the Epoch Times, they saw some police on patrol. Afraid of being found, Li Xiulan threw away the bottle of glue and broke it. The policemen heard the sound and caught them. The policemen brought the two practitioners to court for an illegal trial. When no guards were around, the practitioners managed to unlock their handcuffs. However, Li Xiulan accidentally knocked over a glass, which alerted the policemen. Only He Shuyan was able to escape, but she was forced to become homeless in order to avoid being arrested from her home. Li Xiulan remains in detention and is under persecution at a forced labor camp.

    Another practitioner, Ms. Bi Zhanqin, is being held at Chifeng Police Station because she distributed truth clarification materials. Detailed information about her situation is not available.

    Practitioner Mr. Liu Wen from Baoding City, Hebei Province Detained Again

    Practitioner Mr. Liu Wen is from Zhuozhou County, Baoding City, Hebei Province. His current address is 18 Liulin Qianjie, Chengguandongjie Village, Fangshan District, Beijing. Liu Wen was arrested on Tiananmen Square on October 6, 2000, and was illegally sentenced to 3 years in a labor camp. Upon completion of the sentence, he was sent back to the brainwashing center in Zhuozhou and suffered further persecution. As he did not give up his belief, he was then transferred to Baoding Forced Labor Camp. At the end of 2004, Mr. Liu appealed against the persecution by going on a hunger strike at the labor camp. Four days later, he was allowed to go home for medical reasons. However, while he was still recovering in January 2005, Liu Wen was arrested again by the persecutors from Fangshan District, Beijing.

    Authorities at the Jilin Province Women's Prison Escalate Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners

    According to reliable sources, since the 2005 New Year, the authorities at the Women's Prison of Jilin Province have been isolating all the imprisoned Falun Dafa practitioners from one another and severely persecuting them mentally and physically. This round of escalated persecution is even more brutal, concealed, and deceptive than before. It has also lasted much longer. The authorities prohibit the practitioners from any contact with the outside world in order to hide their crimes. As a result of the extremely brutal persecution, quite a few practitioners have given in and signed the "Five Pledges," which is similar to the three statements. They are forced to wear prisoners' clothes or tags and do hard labor.

    The scale of this round of persecution goes far beyond the Women's Prison of Jilin Province. It is not accidental either. It is part of the nationwide escalation of persecution that government authorities plotted in advance. We are appealing to fellow practitioners around the world to strengthen their truth-clarification activities and their efforts to eliminate the evil in all the prisons, forced labor camps, and detention centers in China.

    The more the evil forces realize they are near their end, the more aggressively they persecute Falun Gong. No matter how desperate they are, they are doomed to fail.
