The Facts of the Persecution of Falun Gong -- May 17, 2006

Issued by Clearwisdom Net

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Li Fengqin, 54 years old, is a very compassionate and benevolent person. In order to obtain commendations and personal gain, the prison guards persecuted her to death. Mainly responsible is Zhang Deqing's group from the National Security Team of the Yushu City Police Department in Jilin Province.

On October 11, 2005, Li Fengqin and eleven other Falun Gong practitioners were illegally arrested by a group of policemen from the Zhengyang Police Station and the National Security Team of Yushu City Police Department. After taking the practitioners to the Yushu City Police Department's National Security Team, policemen from the National Security Team tortured Li Fengqin with brutal kicks that severely Li Fengqin. Li Fengqin could not move under her own power thereafter. Her legs turned purple as a result.

Zhang Deqing, the leader of the National Security Team, tried to coerce Li Fengqin to renounce the practice in the name of being "former classmates" and said that he could release her if she bribed him. However, Li Fengqin refused and was taken to the detention center that afternoon. Zhang Deqing carried Li Fengqin on his back to the police car and then threw Li Fengqin into the car with a loud thump. Li Fengqin immediately felt a sharp pain and lay still on the floor, unable to move. Zhang then turned back and gave Li Fengqin a sinister smile.

At the detention center, several other Falun Gong practitioners got out of the car while Li Fengqin remained inside, unable to move. Zhang Deqing and fellow policeman Cai Wenge carried Li Fengqin on their shoulders and brutally dragged her out of the car and into the detention center before asking two criminal convicts to carry her to her cell.

At the detention center, Li Fengqin constantly cried out in pain. She felt pain throughout her body and she was unable to sleep or eat. Teng Qingling, a female guard at the detention center, and a doctor also named Li tried to force-feed Li Fengqin on two occasions. On the first occasion Li Fengqin was tied up and carried to the force-feeding room, where doctor Li tried to force-feed her with preserved vegetable soup and salt cubes. When Li Fengqin was carried back to her cell, she vomited blackish-green liquids non-stop. On the second time, Teng Qingling wanted to force-feed her again, but Li Fengqin said, "I am going to die if you force-feed me anymore. I vomited everything that you poured into me the last time. It was all greenish water." Teng Qingling replied viciously, "You couldn't have vomited it all!" Later, when the policemen tried to force-feed Li Fengqin and found that it was impossible to do, they brought her back to her cell. On the tenth day, Li Fengqin was carried out for a health check. On that night, Zhang Deqing extorted 2,000 yuan from Li's family members before allowing them to take Li Fengqin home.

After Li Fengqin returned home, she was already on the brink of death. Her family members sent her to the hospital. At the hospital they were told by the doctors that she was not going to make it and they should start preparing her funeral. Li Fengqin almost died on several occasions. Her family members sent her three times to Changchun and once to Beijing, and spent more than 100,000 yuan to try to rescue her. However, Li Fengqin could not eat any food and vomited everything that she ate. She could only be fed by inserting tubes down her throat and pouring liquids down into her intestinal tract. She became emaciated, weighing less than 60 pounds. In the end, she passed away on the second day of the 2006 Chinese lunar year.

Zhang Deqing, leader of the Yushu City Police Department's National Security team, has directly persecuted Li Fengqin to death. He has also brought great pain and losses to Li Fengqin's family. He and his gang must receive punishment for such heinous crimes.

(The above facts of the persecution are Li Fengqin's own words when she was alive and is more detailed than the previous report. The previous report also contains a few errors that are corrected here.)

Falun Gong practitioners that are detained in the Second Ward of Shuangkou Labor Camp located in Tianjin City have been resisting the persecution together as a group since October 2005. They are using every chance to clarify the truth to guards, but some of the guards are refusing to listen. The guards in the second ward have used electric batons to shock practitioners Mr. Chang Tianxiang, Mr. Li Xiuzhong, Mr. Wang Qiufeng, Mr. Li Wenming, and Mr. Zhao Po. They tortured Mr. Li Wenming by shocking him with electric batons on March 13, March 16, April 10, and April 11, 2006. Each session lasted two hours, and there were as many as eight guards shocking him simultaneously. Mr. Li Wenming was dying after this cruel torture. The eight guards included the Second Ward director Zheng Junhong (male), head Tong Xiuhe (male), guards (all male) Song Xiufeng, Xin Zhongjun, Lang Tao, Lin Yi, and Jin (first name unknown), and others.

The Shuangkou Labor Camp is the camp in Tianjin City that still requires families who visit Falun Gong practitioners to fill out a form that curses Falun Gong and Master Li.

On October 19, 2004, police officers arrested Falun Gong practitioners Mr. Li Zhen and Mr. Zhang Li from Kaiping Town, Tangshan City, Hebei Province at their homes. They were taken to the Kaiping Police Department, where the police savagely beat and tortured them. Then they were sent to Hehuakeng Forced Labor Camp.

Mr. Zhang Wenliang is a Falun Gong practitioner from Tangshan City. In 2003 he was tortured at the No. 1 Detention Center until his legs were disabled, but he quickly recovered through Falun Gong practice after returning home. On October 19, 2004 he was arrested in a factory in Tangshan City and was also held at the Hehuakeng Forced Labor Camp.

The three Falun Gong practitioners remained determined in their righteous beliefs, even though they were savagely tortured. They clarified the truth and resisted brainwashing. Li Zhen and Zhang Wenliang were extremely weak, and Zhang Li lost consciousness several times from the beating. Li Zhen's wife left home to avoid further persecution. Zhang Li's wife Chen is still being held at the Kaiping Forced Labor Camp.

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Zhang Limin, from Kaiping, Tangshan City, Hebei Province was arrested on June 19, 2004 for persisting in Falun Gong practice. She was held at the No. 1 Women's Forced Labor Camp in Kaiping, Hebei Province. Because she refused the brainwashing, she was tortured and showed symptoms of illnesses. Her family went to the labor camp and asked for her release, but the persecutors refused. Her current condition is unknown.

On September 23, 2005, Falun Gong practitioners Zhang Yonghong and He Jingyan from the Gezhouba Industrial Area in the Xiling District, Yichang City had their homes ransacked. They were then held at the No. 1 Detention Center in Yichang City. Recently, an insider revealed that in March 2006, Zhang Yonghong and He Jingyan were secretly tried at the Gezhouba Court. Officials from Yichang City's 610 Office and from the National Security Bureau audited the trial. The officials didn't inform the practitioners' families about the trial date, so no other Falun Gong practitioner knew about the trial, either. It was learned that the judge hastily announced that both Falun Gong practitioners were sentenced to seven years in prison soon after the trial began, but both practitioners said they firmly refuse to accept the verdict because it was an illegal trial. Their appeal has been submitted to the Yichang City Intermediate People's Court. It has been revealed that the final verdict for both practitioners will be issued in May.
