(Clearwisdom.net, September 26, 2003)
Mr. Bai Sanyuan and his wife, Mrs. Wang Genti, are Falun Dafa practitioners in Pingbao Town, Jingyuan County, Gansu Province. After they obtained the Fa, they strove forward ceaselessly. At the end of 2000, they filled a big pack with truth-clarification materials and prepared to go to Beijing to validate Dafa; however, they were abducted at the train station by police. Later, they were also illegally detained in the Xiguoyuan Detention Center in Lanzhou City, Gansu Province. Since then, they have been sent to jail many times. The police asked them to sign the warrant for the arrest, but every time they rejected it with righteous thoughts and never cooperated with the police. They firmly believe in Teacher. Those around them admire and highly praise their hearts of firm belief in Dafa. Later on, Ms. Wang Genti was sent to a forced labor camp. In autumn of 2001, Bai Sanyuan's younger sister was also abducted by the local police because she practiced Falun Dafa and spread awareness about the persecution of Falun Dafa. Later, she was sent to Gansu Province's First Detention Center for a year of forced labor.
At the end of May 2001, Bai Sanyuan and another Dafa practitioner, He Jianzhong, were forcibly brought to the Court of Chengguan District, Lanzhou city, for sentencing. In court, they spoke justly, and shouted loudly "Falun Dafa is good!" They definitely did not accept the unjust sentence that the judge was trying to force on them. They asked the judge, "The constitution says that a citizen has the right to believe freely and the right to appeal to the higher authorities for help. After Falun Dafa was illegally persecuted by Jiang, Dafa practitioners went to the higher authorities to appeal against the unjust treatment of Dafa. What crime was committed? What kind of crime is committed by believing in í Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance'? What kind of crime is committed when a good person uses í Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance' to guide his life?" Finally, the judge was rendered speechless by their query and did not know what to do. He had to hastily wind up the trial half way through and announced that the trial would reopen after a recess. The trial did not reach any conclusion. However, several months later, Bai Sanyuan received a written judgment saying that he was sentenced to three years' imprisonment.
After being sentenced, Bai Sanyuan was resolute in not accepting the judgment and lodged an appeal at the Lanzhou City Intermediate Court.
During his detention in the eleventh group of the Xiguoyuan Detention Center, Bai Sanyuan protested the police's persecution of Dafa practitioners many times by going on a hunger strike. Police officer Yang Linquan from the medical station at that time (he has been transferred to the Lanzhou City Second Detention Center now) led several criminals in force feeding Bai Sanyuan through a tube on many occasions and in the name of "saving his life." Under the instigation of police officer Yang, those criminals tortured Bai Sanyuan using "intubation." They did not insert the gastric tube into his stomach directly, but roughly jabbed it up and down after they inserted the tube into his esophagus. It took a very long time to insert a gastric tube and Bai Sanyuan's esophagus bled for a long time because of the rough treatment. Police officer Yang stood aside and sneered with vicious words, "I watched you go on hunger strike. You have experienced it now, so which would you prefer? Eating by yourself or having us feed you forcefully?" The things forced into his stomach were not all food, but often a very concentrated salt solution. One time, they even put more than 250 grams of salt into a small plastic bowl and then forcibly fed him with it. This caused his stomach to burn and put him through excruciating pain. Finally, all of what he threw up from his stomach was dry salt chunks.
The condition of cells in the Xiguoyuan Detention Center is very bad. It is dark and damp (many persons suffered boils or scabies due to the dampness), dirty (most people in cells have a number of parasites), crowded (18 to 24 people packed into a cell of 16 square meters [about 160 square feet]). One light bulb of 36 volts, 25 watts is used, which looks like a "ghost lamp". Because of the long-term persecution, Bai Sanyuan's health became worse and worse. He had very serious scabies all over his body that oozed with pus from his hands to his feet, so that it was difficult to even look at him. In September 2002, he went on a hunger strike again to protest the long-term illegal detention. At that time, he was already very weak and thin. After force feeding him, the detention center found they still could not reach their aim. They were afraid of bearing the responsibility if any problems occurred, so they sent him to the Gansu Province Prison Hospital, which is called Kangtai Hospital to the outside world. The doctors in the hospital saw him continuously go on hunger strike, and then tied him to a bed and forcibly gave him an intravenous injection. At the end of October 2002, the detention center saw his life was not in danger, and they would have to pay the bill if he still remained in the hospital. Therefore, Zhao Guanhu, the director of the medical station in the Xiguoyuan Detention Center, brought him back to the detention center in the name of "being released on bail for medical treatment." At that time, Mr. Bai Sanyuan could not walk on his own and he could barely stand up, only doing so with his hand on the bed. After being taken back to the detention center, he was continuously kept in the detention center's medical station.
