At 7:00 p.m. on August 25, 2005, Shenyang Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Shi Shengying's family members received a phone call from the police at the Liaoning Province Women's Prison, informing them that Shi Shengying had passed away and her body was at the Shenyang City No. 739 Hospital. Her family members rushed to the hospital, where four policewomen from the prison received them. Among them was their chief, a policewoman in her thirties with the family name Xu. They claimed Shi Shengying died of a heart attack on August 23. She was sent to the prison hospital for "treatment." The family members requested to be shown the medical records for treatment at the prison but were refused. The prison police only showed the medical records from the No. 739 hospital. The medical record had only this entry: Shi Shengying was dead on arrival at the No.739 hospital at 3:00 p.m. on August 25.

Shi Shengying started to practice Falun Gong in 1996. Thereafter she had been healthy and had never suffered from heart disease before. On August 18, 2005, family visiting day, her family members went to visit Shi Shengying in the prison. The No. 3 prison ward guard said, "Shi Shengying refuses to wear the prison uniform, so she is not allowed to be visited by her family."

On the evening of August 25, 2005, when Shi Shengying's family members saw her body, she was wearing the prison uniform. Her body showed many injuries, old and new: an old wound on her left side rib area, her throat showed a blue-black semi-circle, and below her throat was a fresh-looking, blood stained square wound. In the chest area were dotted signs of a healed old wound where the scabs had fallen off. At the point of death her eyes were half open and there were tearstains at the corner of her eyes. It was suspected that the above were signs of being suffocated while been physically assaulted.

The family members questioned nerve specialist doctor Hu Yan, who was in charge of this matter about the circumstances. Hu Yan said, "The wounds on the body were not inflicted by [people from] the hospital. Hospital chief Mr. Zhang was also present. Please ask him." After that, the coroner from the city suburban Procuratorate stationed in the prison procurator office examined the body and confirmed that there were indeed injuries on the body.

On the evening of August 25, the family members requested to take photographs of the body. The prison sent more than thirty policewomen to deter the family from doing so. When the family members attempted to take photos, some policewomen went out of their way to snatch the camera. They removed the battery from the camera. The other policewomen dragged the body into a vehicle. During the chaos, the violent pushing and pulling caused Shi Shengying's daughter to spit blood. A middle-aged policewoman with the family name Li, mobile no: 86-13889825941, said, "Don't allow them to take photos! When the photo get published on the Internet we will lose our jobs." She even threatened the family members and said, "I advise you not to appeal this case, or else a few of you may be jailed for this matter!"

The assembled crowd saw the barbaric behavior of the police and felt outraged. They called a reporter. The reporter came to the scene and witnessed the whole affair. In the end, the policewomen sent Shi Shengying's body to the Shenyang City Yuhong District's funeral parlor.

At 9:00 a.m. on August 26, the family members went to Yuhong District funeral parlor to pay their respects to the deceased Shi Shengying. The prison police said, for show, "Shi Shengying's husband and two relatives are allowed to enter the funeral parlor but must be accompanied by the prison police to pay respects to the deceased." Covertly, the prison police tried all sorts of ways to stop them. They even lied and told the local police that someone was making trouble, so five local police vans were dispatched to the funeral parlor. Together with the prison police, more than sixty police officers were present to deter the family members. The family members had waited from morning until afternoon and still did not get an opportunity to view the body.

On August 27, Shi Shengying's three daughters came again to the funeral parlor. An officer from the Tiexi District Police Department in Shenyang City who was standing guard there asked them rudely, "Who are you?" He video taped them against their will and still did not allow them to enter. Officials from the Liaoning Province Women's Prison also sent local social workers to warn the family members not to appeal to higher authorities. They also monitored the family members' movements.

From the start, the court in the Tiexi District of Shenyang City fabricated evidence. During the illegal sentencing at the first hearing, Shi Shengying's age was changed from 66 years old to 59 years old, and her education level was changed from elementary school to third grade. Since the prison police said that Shi Shengying died at 3:00 p.m., why did the prison wait till 7:00 p.m. to inform the family members? The prison administrations' main hospital is located a mere 300 meters away from the women's prison. If Shi Shengying really died of heart disease as the female police officers claimed, why didn't they send her to the prison administration's main hospital? Why did they send her instead to the No. 739 hospital that is over 10 kilometers away? If there was nothing to hide, why did they not let the family members have one last look at the deceased and stop them from taking photos of her body?

Shi Shengying's case was not the first one where Shenyang City Prison law enforcers of the evil Communist party persecuted a Falun gong practitioner to the point of death. Many other practitioners were also persecuted by those people until they died. Among them are Mr. Li Ling (ex-chief of the Labor Department in the Guta District in Jinzhou City), Wu Yuan (math teacher from the Beilu Township Secondary School in Lingyuan City), Lou Yan from Anshan City, Guan Wenjiang, 33, from Tongjiafang Village in Damintun Town, Xinmin City, Zhou Zhi (engineer from Benxi steel design and control factory), Gao Lianyi (taxi driver in the Tiexi District in Shenyang City - he was persecuted until he died at the main hospital in the prison administration department) and Han Liguo (a worker at a certain steel factory in Lingyuan City, Liaoning Province). There were others.

Of those, Han Liguo was incarcerated in the Shenyang City No. 2 Prison. In August 2004 he lay in the prison cell for a day, and then he was sent to a prison hospital. He died suddenly the following day. The hospital claimed that he died of heart disease, but Han Liguo had never suffered from heart disease before and his stated cause of death was suspicious.

Mr. Zhao Qingshan, a Falun Gong practitioner from Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province, was sentenced to 11 years of imprisonment in the Daqing Prison, where he is currently jailed. As a result of the persecution he has suffered, he vomits whatever he attempts to eat and he is barely able to breathe. Mr. Zhao has pain all over his body and is no longer capable of caring for himself. His situation is very critical. As requested, his family has completed the procedures required to release him from prison for medical treatment. However, Deputy Warden Wang Yingjie and others at Daqing Prison have used various excuses not to release Mr. Zhao.

Falun Gong practitioners, and just people inside and outside of China, please lend a helping hand and stop the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in Daqing Prison!

The Heishijiao Police arrested Dalian Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Sun Liwen, 32. Mr. Sun's elderly, terminally ill mother wanted to visit him, but the police denied her request. Mr. Sun's home telephone is 86-411-84698048.

Mr. Sun attended the Dalian Construction Technical School from 1991 to 1995. After graduation, he worked for the Dalian Fifth Construction Company. He started practicing Falun Gong in 1997 and was laid off in 1999. After the persecution started on July 20, 1999, Mr. Sun went to Beijing to appeal for the right to practice Falun Gong. He was detained in the Dalian Detention Center. He was transferred to Dalian Drug Rehabilitation Center and later to Masanjia Forced Labor Camp for one year of imprisonment. At the end of that year, he was sentenced to 3 years of forced labor.

On the evening of June 30, 2005, the National Security Team ordered the Dalian Heishijiao Police to get Mr. Sun to come to the police station. His family feared that the police were deceiving them, so Mr. Sun' brother went with him to the police station. Two hours later, the police came to ransack Mr. Sun's home and tell his family, "Mr. Sun Liwen has been arrested."

Mr. Sun's brother recollects that Mr. Sun was arrested upon arriving at the police station. The police then ransacked Mr. Sun's home and confiscated his computer, his CDs and other items. After the event, Mr. Sun's family went to ask that the items be returned. However, only the computer was returned. Mr. Sun's relatives repeatedly demanded the other items, but their demands were in vain.

Mr. Sun's mother has malignant breast cancer. Cancerous cells have spread to her lungs and bone marrow. The persecution of Mr. Sun aggravated his mother's illness. Thinking that she could lose her life at any moment, she hoped to visit her son. However, the police refused to allow her to see him, despite her terminal illness.

Mr. Sun is currently detained in Dalian City's Yaojia Detention Center. The National Security Team has transferred his case to the Ganjingzi Procuratorate. Mr. Sun has appealed to the higher court.

Mr. Sun has been repeatedly persecuted for persistantly following the principles of Truthfulness, Benevolence, and Forbearance. We urge Dalian City citizens to extend their support to Mr. Sun, to condemn the police for its terrorist actions and to stop the evil from persecuting Falun Gong.

 At around noon on July 11, 2005, as Ms. Zhang Peiyun was returning home after having lived in exile for four years, she was arrested by several policemen from the National Security Team of the Panzhihua City Police Station in Zaoziping, Panzhihua City, Sichuan Province. One of the policemen threatened her, "Let's watch and see how I torture you to death!"

Ms. Zhang Peiyun, 60 years old, is a practitioner from Zaoziping, Panzhihua City. Since she began practicing Falun Gong and using "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" as a guide for her conduct, her morality has improved greatly. Many diseases that troubled her for years disappeared, and she became very healthy. Because she has adhered to her beliefs, however, this benevolent woman has suffered severe persecution over the past six years.

In late July 1999, Ms. Zhang was on a taxi with Falun Gong books that she had brought along with her to read. When the traffic police searched the taxi, they discovered her Falun Gong books and arrested her. When the policeman asked her where she had gotten the books, she refused to answer. The policeman threatened, "Do you dare to test me? I'll throw you into the Jinsha River and drown you, and no one will ever know." Ms. Zhang was detained for 24 hours and released.

In October 1999, Ms. Zhang made an appeal to the government on behalf of Falun Gong and was detained for 15 days. When she appealed a second time, she was again detained at the Panzhihua City Renhe Detention Centre for another fifteen days. While in detention, Ms. Zhang went on a hunger strike to protest, but several armed policemen pinned her down on the floor, force-fed her brutally, and stepped all over her. Ms. Zhang was badly tortured and her entire face was covered with blood. She was sentenced to imprisonment for a year and half by the Panzhihua 610 Office.

On July 6, 2001, the Panzhihua City Renhe District People's Courts conducted a trial of Falun Gong practitioners, and Ms. Zhang, who had already served her sentence, went to audit the trial. The police arrested her that same afternoon and brought her to the Panzhihua City Yanbian County Detention Centre, where she was persecuted. The police hung Ms. Zhang up by her handcuffs so that only her toes touched the ground. Policemen Tian Ping and several others from the city police station then beat her brutally, causing Ms. Zhang to have problems breathing. Only when she was on the brink of death did they take her down. After another month of imprisonment, Ms. Zhang was released, her arms and legs covered with bruises and wounds. When family member went to ask the police why they had beaten her, the station chief replied viciously, "So what if we beat her up?"

Due to constant harassment at home by the policemen, Ms. Zhang could not live normally at home anymore and was forced to live in exile.

Ms. Zhang's recent arrest on July 11, 2005 occurred as she was returning home after her four years in exile. After a policeman threatened, "Let's watch and see how I torture you to death," Ms. Zhang was taken to the Panzhihua City Yanbian Detention Center to suffer persecution. On August 16, she was taken there again to face more persecution.

Persons in the West Dayinzi Forced Labor Camp in Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province brutally abuse Falun Gong practitioners. The cruel and savage ways of abuse and torture under the persecution include sitting on a tiny bench for a long time, squatting for a long time, "riding a motorcycle" (a type of torture), shocking with high voltage electric batons, and punitive force-feeding, among others.

Eighteen Falun Gong practitioners are presently imprisoned in the West Dayinzi Forced Labor Camp. One of them, Falun Gong practitioner Zhai Baoji, is on a hunger strike to protest the persecution. We appeal to everyone in China and abroad to extend your helping hand to help stop the persecution.

The following are cases of maltreatment under the persecution by prison guards in the West Dayinzi Forced Labor Camp.

Falun Gong practitioner Wang Jian, a native of Lingyuan City, Liaoning Province, was sentenced to three years in a forced labor camp for going to Beijing to appeal in September 1999. He suffered all kinds of torture while in prison. He was arrested again after his release while posting truth clarification flyers, and sent to a detention center. Mr. Wang went on a hunger strike and was sent home on the 13th day because he was in critical condition. A few days later the police arrested him and took him to the West Dayinzi Forced Labor Camp, where Wang Jian went on a hunger strike. The prison guards instructed inmates to feed Wang by force. They force-fed him by prying his mouth open with chopsticks, and in the process injured Wang's throat. The prison guards also shocked him on his neck, the center of the soles of his feet and other sensitive areas, using several electric batons. Wang fainted numerous times and still cannot walk.

Savage torture illustration:

The cruel persecution of Falun Gong practitioner Wang Jian was perpetrated by West Dayinzi Forced Labor Camp enforcers. The thugs responsible include deputy warden Jin Yucheng and his followers Qi Yongshun, Teng Shixin, Zhao Gang, He Jun, and Du Lei. The force-feeding was carried out by Doctor Li Mengqiu. (Figure 1-2, re-enactments)

In September 2003, Falun Gong practitioner Lu Dawei was arrested and sent to the West Dayinzi Forced Labor Camp. Deputy warden Jin Yucheng told prison guards who were waiting at the prison gate, "Prepare the electric batons!" Prison guards carried Lu Dawei to a solitary confinement cell. Led by Jin Yucheng, 4 ~ 5 section or prison division heads shocked Lu with four electric batons for a long time. The people who were involved include 4^th Division heads Qi Yongshun and Gao Zhiguo. Jin Yucheng also shocked Lu. The next day, Qi Yonshun, Gao Zhiguo and three other prison guards shocked Lu for an entire day. They poured water over Lu's body and shocked him at the heart region of his chest, and stuck the batons into his mouth. Lu's body was covered with burns and wounds. (Figure 3-4, re-enactments)

Wang Le, 28, was formerly employed by Lingyuan Steel Works, Liaoning Province, and suffered a mental disorder after experiencing the brutal persecution in the West Dayinzi Forced Labor Camp. He was released on probation for medical treatment on October 2000. He passed away on May 16, 2001.

Du Weifeng, 27, was also a former employee from the Lingyuan Steel Works. He was incarcerated in the Lingyuan 2^nd Detention Center for more than a month and then sentenced to two years in a forced labor camp and sent to the West Dayinzi Forced Labor Camp. While in the 2^nd and 3^rd Divisions, Du Weifeng was forced to perform hard labor, to stand for a long time, was abused with electric batons, forced to be "reformed," and suffered enormous physical and mental anguish. Du Weifeng was mentally and physically devastated repeatedly and eventually suffered from psychosis.

 The No. 2 Team in the Beijing Women's Forced Labor Camp is torturing Falun Gong practitioners with various brutal methods. The guards put pressure on inmates and encourage them with incentives to beat practitioners. They choose the most vicious inmates to watch practitioners' every movement. A practitioner's slightest movement, during sleep, when washing, having a meal, using the toilet, or scratching an itch, may be an excuse to be tortured. For example, an inmate asking a practitioner to sit in an awkward position that's difficult to carry out could result in torture. It is all done covertly to hide such activities from the outside world.

We are imploring everyone to come to the rescue of Liu Guifu, Ren Guoxian, and other practitioners, who are still suffering inhuman torture in Beijing's Women's Forced Labor Camp.

1. Punishment Sitting: The slightest body movement becomes an excuse for further torture.

If you are unfortunate enough to be taken to the No.2 Team, you will be assigned immediately two inmates who will force you to do their bidding. You are forced to sit upright, putting your hands on your thighs, palms facing up and fingers stretching straight. The two inmates sitting beside you will then use ballpoint pens, rulers, and fists to hit your hands as they shout, "Keep the fingers straight. This is the rule here." Your hands will be bruised, injured and bloody immediately from being stabbed with the ballpoint pen. They will beat you until you keep your hands straight. They also demand that you sit with your back and waist straight, keeping your head straight and eyes forward. Your head is not allowed to move sideways. Otherwise, they will poke your head with the ballpoint pen and curse loudly. If you do not follow their demands, they will hit and kick you immediately.

They will force your to sit in a specific position and forbid any movement. If you want to move, you have to ask for permission. You can only move with their approval. If you do not obey their demands, they will punish you for violating the "rules of the labor camp," by either cursing or beating you. If you want some water, you have to ask the inmates for permission. You can only drink when they give you the cup. If not, you can't have water. The cup is placed far away from you and you are not allowed to get up and get it. You are not allowed to move around freely. You have to put your legs together and keep them straight with the bottoms of the feet touching each other. If you separate them a little bit, you are violating the "rules." They can beat or curse you as they please. If your head is itching, you have to ask the inmate for permission to scratch it. They may allow you to scratch it once, which is the limit. No second scratch, or you will be beaten. The inmates will shout, "You Falun Gong people talk about Tolerance. Why couldn't you tolerate the itching? If you cannot bear it, sign the paper to denounce Falun Gong. Then you can do whatever you want and no one will bother you any more. If you don't sign, you have to endure it." There is one practitioner who has scabies and itches all over her body. Several inmates hold her down to prevent her from scratching.

If you don't follow their demands, several of them will beat you and press you into the position they want you to maintain. After you eat and drink, you have to sit again in the same position, keeping the waist and back straight. Otherwise, they will poke your waist, back and other places with a ballpoint pen until you sit straight again. Or they will kick your back with their knees. Such torture lasts from 4:00 a.m. until 1:00 or 2:00 a.m. the following night. Sitting for over 20 hours everyday, the practitioner's bottom becomes sore and infected, extremely itchy, and oozes pus. When a practitioner is menstruating, the guards will not allow her to replace the napkin for an entire day. Even when the napkin is completely soaked, they will not let you get up. As a result, some practitioners have female problems and unusual drainage. The inmates do not let you wash your pants even if they are soaked, nor do they allow you to change your clothes, even when they stink. The inmates said, "It's not rare to forbid a practitioner from taking a shower or washing her hair for six months. Some are not allowed to take a shower or wash their clothes for a year. You asked for it. If you denounce Falun Gong, you can take a shower and no one will stop you."

After several days you will feel numb. Movements and reactions slow down and you act mechanically. Under such torment, practitioners lose a lot of weight. Their faces become shapeless and their bodies emaciated. After more than ten days, they no longer look like normal human beings. Furthermore, they are starved and put on short rations at mealtime. Their weight drops significantly. The hair turns white and their faces are wrinkled. Because they have to sit motionless for a long time, their lower legs swell up. Their calves are thicker than their thighs. Their feet swell and are too big for shoes. The sores that develop will leak pus. Both legs are dark and swollen. They can't walk and their legs are numb.

2. "We will torture you so that days feel like years and you'd rather die than live."

From the first day with the No. 2 Team, practitioners are pressured to denounce Falun Gong. To accomplish this goal, practitioners are starved. They are given one bun and a little vegetable for each meal. Refusal to denounce Falun Gong results in increased starvation. Instead of the bun, one will be given only a little porridge. The intention is not to appease the hunger, yet not to starve the practitioner to death. At the same time, one suffers long hours of sitting and standing. The inmates say, "We are not beating or cursing you. We will torture you so that days feel like years and you'd rather die than live."

An elderly woman was tied up on a bed for more than two months, yet they still kept her awake. Whenever she closed her eyes, they pinched or beat her. Finally she succumbed to their demands and signed the renunciation. Another practitioner ran from the cell and called out slogans in the hallway. She was wrapped up with boards for several months.

Once the guards decide to beat practitioners, they do not want to dirty their hands, but order four or five inmates to do the beating. One of the inmates gags the practitioner's mouth with a dirty cloth. The others beat her. They follow instructions from the guards, who are watching from outside the room to assure the required brutality of the beatings. When the guards gesture to stop, they will stop. The inmates follow the guards' commands. Despite trying to hide the beatings, the noise from the beatings and the screams of the victims can still be heard at times. They tortured practitioner graduate student Ren Guoxian from Fangshan, the suburban county of Beijing, like this.

A practitioner will get little or no sleep. When you are trying to fall asleep, the two inmates that are at your side at all times will be very noisy to prevent you from sleeping. Should you fall asleep, they will beat and yell at you, saying you shouldn't sleep with bent legs. You have to straighten out you legs. They are afraid that you might cross your legs and meditate. After a while, they will beat you again, telling you not to cover your head with the blanket. Then they beat you again and say that you have to show your hands to prevent you from conjoining the hands for the Falun Gong exercise. The inmates keep a log on the practitioner's sleep, whether she talks in her dreams, when she falls asleep, if she uses the toilet, if she sleeps well, and what time she awakes.

If you do not denounce Falun Gong, you are not allowed to do your laundry. They only allow you to wash clothes once one or two months, or perhaps every few months. During visitations, they might allow you to wash your hair and change your upper clothes. But they will not let you wash your dirty clothes until they are satisfied with "your behavior." When you do the laundry in the laundry room, no one else is allowed to be present except for two inmates, each standing on either side to watch you. Barely a minute has passed since you have put the detergent in the basin, when they urge you to hurry up. Before the clothes are rinsed clean, they press you to hang them up. In fact, the clothes are still dirty, but you have to hang them up to dry.

Some inmates are drug addicts and have been detained in the labor camp two or three times. They are nicknamed "Little Watch." They will carry out beatings whenever they are told to. They also help with force-feeding. Therefore, they know everything that's going on in each cell. The ordinary inmates are not allowed to go to other cells. The guards detain one practitioner per cell, with four inmates watching her. There are eight cells to detain practitioners at peak times.

If you need to go to the toilet, you have to ask permission from the inmates. You have to tell them whether you want to urinate or have a bowel movement. If you have a bowel movement without letting them know, the inmates will scold, curse, punch or kick you. The moment you squat down on the toilet, two or three inmates will surround you and yell, "Quick! Don't be so slow." Before you finish, they urge you to get up. Practitioner Ma Xiulan, from the Chaoyang District of Beijing, now has trouble going to the restroom at all after all the interruptions. Yet the inmates continue to rush her loudly and insist she hurry up. Before she could use the restroom, one of the "Little Watches" pulled her by her hair and threw her to the ground.

Ma Xiulan is 42 years old. She was first detained with the No.7 Team for three days, after which she was taken to the so-called concentration team. They accused her of spreading "anti-revolutionary ideas." One year later, on August 10, 2004, she was taken to the No. 2 Team. Because of the continued torture, she is suffering from mental disorders. She was released on April 25, 2005.

It is a fact that torture, physical punishment, beating and cursing are all too common in every team at Beijing Women's Forced Labor Camp. The No. 2 team is known for the most brutal torture. The Labor Camp Administration Bureau and the associated forced labor camps deceive the practitioners' family members. They say, "We are an educational institution. How can we beat people? How can we have physical punishment? We educate them patiently. You can come and visit our labor camp to see for yourself." Intermittently, the labor camp issues a questionnaire to every inmate, asking the same question, "Is there beating or cursing in our institution?" No one dares to answer, "Yes," which would result in more severe torture in revenge. The replies invariably end up being, "No, there is no physical punishment or beating. The guards are extremely nice to us. They are like our parents, doctors, and teachers." In private the inmates would say, "Now I see. Everything in this labor camp is false. There is only one word, 'deception.'"

3. Crimes committed by guard Song Lili

The guards of the No.2 Team use the excuse of "violating the labor camp rules" to rid themselves of inmates who do not obey their instructions, such as participating in the persecution of practitioners or exposing the persecution. They claim that those inmates are against the government and are not worthy of being assigned to the No. 2 Team. For example, one inmate does not agree with the persecution of the practitioners. She often tells practitioners about the guards' persecution of other practitioners. Guard Song Lili, age 28, hates her very much. Song says that she has wanted to "take care of her" for a long time. Song took 20 points off her record when she took a shower during no-shower time. This means that her term will not be reduced. In addition, she was sent to the concentration team for a month and was driven out of the No. 2 team. On the other hand, the guards will give preferential treatment to those who obey their instructions and beat practitioners. They praise those inmates, write them a good evaluation and shorten their terms. Sometimes, the guards give those inmates candy, fruit and leftovers of their food. This encourages the inmates to carry out their orders more diligently.

Under the direction of the head of the No. 2 Team Du Jingbin, Song Lili (the team leader from Inner Mongolia) and deputy chiefs Yang and Sun, the inmates of the No. 2 Team are more unrestrained and cruel than inmates of other teams. One inmate said, "I just like to handle practitioners assigned to Sergeant Song. She is so daring." What she means is that she can beat practitioners when Song is on duty. With the support of Song, she is not afraid of any repercussions. Song Lili's criminal conduct in the No. 2 Team is well known. She knows, too, that she has committed unforgivable crimes against practitioners. She does not answer phone calls from outside the camp. Those who call are always told that she is not in. In fact, she is at work and persecutes the practitioners daily. She is one of the cruelest thugs among the No. 2 team in persecuting practitioners. Sometimes she does not even go home on Saturdays and Sundays.

Because the guards of the No.2 Team are giving specific instructions to the inmates on how to torture practitioners, they are afraid of being exposed. Therefore they are afraid that the inmates might talk to each other about their activities. To silence the inmates, they forbid the inmates from speaking loudly and make them monitor each other. The guards often listen on the monitor to inmates before or after meals and before bedtime. They want to know if the inmates say anything bad about the chief. The inmates said, "The guards have done so many bad deeds that they are in a panic." Once inmate Ma said something she shouldn't have said and was forced to stand for long hours. In addition, she was forced to copy " Rule 23" 50 times.

A practitioner was forced to denounce Falun Gong under torture. Later, she and her family informed the administration about the guards and inmates who beat practitioners in the No. 2 Team. The labor camp administration said that the three people were dealt with. Actually, they were only transferred to the No. 7 Team, where they continue to persecute practitioners.

Guards at the Beijing Women's Labor Camp dare not to let people on the outside know that they are infamous for torture. The fact is, only the No. 2 Team and the concentration team are directly affiliated with the Administration Bureau of the Forced Labor Camp. On a number of occasions the inmates didn't cooperate well with the guards when ordered to participate in the beating. The police reproached them angrily.

A few of the facts about the beating of practitioners:

When the practitioner who was beaten identified to Song Lili the inmates who had beaten her, Song said, "Wait and see how I am going to deal with them! Who dares to beat people in here? It is the rule of the labor camp not to beat people. There is absolutely no such thing as beating. We are civilized. We will not beat people, nor do we dare to beat people. How can I beat people?"

Song Lili often attempts to cover up her cruelty by throwing out phrases such as "being civilized." Even the inmates curse her privately, saying that she is the cruelest among them. She tells the inmates not to leave any trace of the torture. It was her idea to use a ballpoint pen or needle to poke the victim's head, to pinch their breasts, and to press the acupuncture points. Because she dares to use cruel methods to torture people, she wins favors from the head of the team, Du Jingbin. They assign her to the most steadfast practitioners. Song Lili was transferred from the administration office to the No. 2 team when it was established. She uses a variety of cruel methods to try to get practitioners to give up Falun Gong.

The guards who are firmly entrenched in the No. 2 Team use many different, inhuman methods to torture practitioners. Otherwise, they are transferred elsewhere.

Recently I saw an article written by a fellow practitioner on Minghui.net dated August 9, 2005. The article referred to the illegal detention of 16 practitioners, including Mr. Zheng Dejun and others, at Shayang Forced Labor Camp, and the practitioners' validation of Falun Gong inside the camp. I was one of the 16 practitioners that the article was speaking of. Reading the article brought back the memory of those events as if they happened only yesterday.

At that time, the 16 of us were the second batch of practitioners illegally sent to Shayang Forced Labor Camp. On the very first day at the camp, Mr. Zheng Dejun and three other practitioners were separately dispatched to different squads. Mr. Zheng was sent to the 5th Group. We had heard via the camp personnel a lot about Mr. Zheng's resistance to the persecution before I met him in person, but Mr. Zheng still said, "We did not do things well enough to form one body. We failed to establish a righteous environment for fellow practitioners to follow."

According to the report on Minghui/Clearwisdom, in 2004 Mr. Zheng Dejun was detained a second time at Hubei Province's Shayang Forced Labor Camp. Now he is being held in the 9th Group of the camp, but has been in an isolation chamber for a few months. Due to his refusal to accept brainwashing and to abandon Falun Gong, Mr. Zheng is currently near-death from the persecution.

Out of the 16 practitioners, Mr. Qiao Zuoquan of Jingmen is another one who was sent to the forced labor camp for a second time. Mr. Qiao was one of the original volunteer directors of the Falun Gong Assistance Center in Jinmen City. At that time we did not have Falun Gong books to read. Mr. Qiao could recite Zhuan Falun in its entirety, so we broke the evil's arrangements and listened to his recitation. Later, another practitioner could also recite Zhuan Falun, so we divided into two groups to study the principles of Falun Gong.

Another practitioner among the original 16, Mr. Liu Yong, who was only 21 at the time, is again being persecuted and has been illegally sentenced to prison.

There was a new practitioner who started to practice in prison at only 17 years old. After he was released from the forced labor camp, he was persecuted again for clarifying the truth.

More than 20 practitioners have been illegally held at Gansu Women's Labor Camp, where a series of brutal persecution against practitioners has been carried out. In order to brainwash and "transform" both practitioners who refuse to write the Three Statements and to do the so-called "Taizi Gong" exercise (which was organized by the labor camp) and other imprisoned practitioners, the policemen and criminal inmates formed "strict-monitoring" teams. The policemen incited some of the worst drug addicts to form groups of four or five to monitor each practitioner 24 hours a day. The perpetrators have deprived practitioners of any sleep; forced them to stand up for long hours; kicked and beaten them, especially their breasts and private parts; and left some practitioners with bruises all over their body.

The police forced Ms. Liu Xiaoli to stand up all day and all night and denied her sleep because she refused to write the Three Statements. After she unsuccessfully tried to run away during mealtime, they stretched her arms in opposite directions and handcuffed her in that position for a long time. As a result, even today she still cannot move her arms freely because the muscles have become stiff and feeble. When she refused to eat, they used a hair clip to clamp her mouth shut and beat her, aiming especially between her legs when they kicked repeatedly. Sometimes the flesh in her pubic area peeled off because of the constant kicking. Even the drug addicts were shocked to see this.

Ms. Qiang Weixiu has been detained at this camp since last June. She was put into the "strict monitoring" group when she first arrived. In the brainwashing class, she shouted, "Falun Dafa is wonderful" and began walking towards the outside. Policemen handcuffed her and put her into an isolation cell for over 20 days. Since she has refused to be "transformed," she is still detained in the "strict monitoring" group.

The police forced Ms. Yan Ping to stand all night without any sleep and forced her to do labor during the day because she refused to write the Three Statements. Later, when they decided that it was too comfortable to let her sit down to do her work during the day, they made her stand day and night. One night she was brutally tortured, and her screams shocked everyone in the team.

Ms. Yang Julian has been detained in the "strict monitoring" group since last June. The policemen forced her to stand up for more than 20 days without any sleep. In March of this year, she was again deprived of sleep for more than 10 days and severely tortured.

Ms Yang Wenying was handcuffed to a bed this March when she refused to do the "Taizi Gong" exercise.

List of the perpetrators:

Zhou Zizhong, team leader of the First Team

Dai Wenqin, Nian Xuefeng, Liu Duanmei, Liu Sheng, Jing Xuefeng and Fan Xiaojiang are policemen from the First Team

Others include Xiang Binyan, Wang Li, Liu Cuiquan, and Dan Guilian

 Ms. Zhao Guangying, 52 years old, lived in Building 7 of the Chaofeng Residential Area in Yuanbao District, Dandong City, Liaoning Province. Before she started practicing Falun Gong in 1996, she had cancer. After she practiced Falun Gong, her mental and physical health both became very good. After July 20, 1999, Ms. Zhao was deceived by the lies about Falun Gong spread by the Chinese government, and the local Communist Party Committee often tried to force her to give up Falun Gong practice by brainwashing her. Her husband was also deceived by the lies and violently opposed her practicing Falun Gong. Finally, she gave up the practice. As a result her health deteriorated dramatically and she had to have an operation to treat her cancer. After the operation, Ms. Zhao wanted to resume Falun Gong practice, but due to various forms of interference, she was not able to do as she wished. Ms. Zhao passed away in November 2000.

Ms. Wu Xiuzhi, 66 years old, was a Falun Gong practitioner from Shangzhi City, Heilongjiang Province. She used to work for the Weihe Forestry Bureau. She started practicing Falun Gong in 1997. In 2001, her son-in-law, who is also a practitioner, was sentenced to forced labor. Ms. Wu was under great pressure mentally and not able to practice Falun Gong regularly. She passed away in 2002.

Ms. Cheng Fengying, 62 years old, was a practitioner from the Jiaozuo Area of Henan Province. After July 20, 1999, she was harassed and threatened by the local police many times because she practiced Falun Gong, causing her a lot of suffering physically and mentally. Ms. Cheng died on July 16, 2005.

Mr. Xu Siming was a practitioner from Changchun City, Jilin Province. He started practicing Falun Gong in 1997. In December 2000, Mr. Xu went to Beijing twice to appeal on behalf of Falun Gong. After he returned, he kept telling people the facts about the persecution of Falun Gong. In 2002, he was detained during the massive arrest of practitioners after the Changchun Cable TV station was tapped and a Falun Gong TV program was aired. Afterwards, the local police and the local residential committee frequently harassed, followed and monitored him. Mr. Xu suffered a great deal physically and mentally, and he passed away in June 2005.
