7. [Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province] Li Li Suffers Brutal Torture in Tianhe District's Detention Center

Since Ms. Li Li from the Tianhe District, Guangzhou City was arrested, personnel from Tianhe District's "610 Office" have been forcing her to tell them information about another practitioner because they saw on a surveillance tape that Li Li and another Falun Gong practitioner tore up Dafa-slandering posters. She refused. She was then hung up and beaten for two days and nights. Li Li went on a hunger strike to protest, and now her health is very bad. A check-up revealed that she has many symptoms: heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and others. But the warden of the Tainhe District Detention Center lied to Li Li's daughter, "They treat Li Li very well and she caused her own health problems and it has nothing to do with them." He even told her daughter to pay for the medical costs.

Personnel from Tianhe District's "610 Office" have attempted to find out from Li Li detailed information about all the practitioners who attended the court session and had sent righteous thoughts in the North TianheDistrict Court on Longkou Road West during sentencing procedures for practitioner Li Yongjun at the end of August. We have heard the police might have the scene recorded on video, and are looking for those practitioners.

After Li Li was held in Tianhe District's Detention Center for half a month, she was secretly transfered to the Chaitou Brainwashing Class.

10. [Nanning City, Guangxi Province] Personnel from Certain Forced Labor Camps Cruelly Torture Falun Gong Practitioners

The No.1 Forced Labor Camp and Women's Prison are on Xin'an Road in Nanning City, Guangxi Province. Some Falun Gong practitioners are held there.

In September 2004, personnel from the Education Section of the forced labor camp beat a Falun Gong practitioner to death. Because they strictly blocked this information, the practitioner's name, hometown and other information are unknown.

Mr. Gao Xiaogui, 31 years old, from Hubei Province, has been sentenced to three years of forced labor, from September 2001 to September 2004. Because he refused to give up cultivation, he hasn't been released after his term had expired. His term has been extended by six more months.

In the women's prison, between July and October 2004, the prison police tortured Falun Gong practitioners viciously. They shocked practitioners with electric batons and beat and kicked them. Some practitioners have been tortured so badly that they are at their last gasps of breath. Even now they are still lying on the concrete floor and can't move.

13. [Baoding City, Hebei Province] The Guards at the Qingyuan Brainwashing Class Cruelly Beat Falun Gong Practitioners

At about 8:00 on September 2, officers from Jiacun Village's Police Precinct led several people to ransack Falun Gong practitioners' houses in Xijia Village. They also searched the house of a non-practitioner, Li Shunzeng. They found several copies of truth-clarifying materials and arrested Li Xiaoqin, Li Shunzeng's wife, and took her to the police precinct. They later sent her to the Wangdu Detention Center.

In the Qingyuan Brainwashing Class, the guards frequently and cruelly beat practitioners. After the "crabstick" was broken from being used in the beatings, they slapped the practitioners in the face and beat them with wire or a broom. They also locked practitioners up in the toilet for four or five hours.

The guards: Li Tongle, Ding Yanfei and Cui Shukai;
Ding Bo, head of the 610 Office.

14. [Yichang City, Hubei Province] Fan Changhua's Term Extended Only Because She Refused to Give up Falun Gong Cultivation

Ms. Fan Changhua is a teacher of the Affiliated Kindergarten, Machinery Factory, No. 5 Company, Gezhou Dam in Yichang City, Hubei Province. In September 2003 she was forcibly arrested from her work unit by Zhou Xiangdong, leader of the National Security Team, people from the Yiling District Police Department, Gezhou Dam and another person with the last name He. They sent her to Yichang City's No.1 Detention Center. Later she was sentenced to two years of forced labor and incarcerated at the No. 9 Team in the Qilihu Female Forced Labor Camp in Shayang County.

Her term has currently expired, but the forced labor camp refused to release her because she wrote a declaration of "firmly persisting in Falun Gong cultivation." We have heard that teacher Fan's health is not good.
