2. [Jinzhou City, Hebei Province] Three Falun Dafa Practitioners Tortured at Jinzhou Detention Center

Three Falun Dafa practitioners are being held at Jinzhou City Detention Center in Hebei Province. They are Mr. Lei Jiangtao, Mr. Gu Liqiang and Ms. Liu Cangmiao. They are being tortured because of raising public awareness of Falun Dafa.

Mr. Lei Jiangtao has been unlawfully held at the detention center for over a year. As he has long been deprived of the right to practice Falun Gong while having been overworked on labor assignments, he has become ill and remains in critical condition.

Mr. Gu Liqiang has been deprived of personal freedom and held in custody for over nine months. Inhumane treatment on top of intensive labor for extended hours has severely damaged his mind and body. He has lost so much weight that he has become emaciated.

On the morning of October 6, 2004, uniformed guards Xue Yucang and Gong Xinfeng brutally beat Dafa practitioner Ms. Liu Cangmiao for refusing to wear the prison uniform. The guards then dragged Ms. Liu back to her cell and handcuffed her to the steel bars until 3:00 or 4:00 p.m.

Telephone number of Jinzhou City Detention Center: 86-311-4322214.

3. [Xinmin City, Liaoning Province] Mr. Jing Suo Sentenced to Four Years in Prison

Mr. Jing Suo, born in 1975, is a resident of Xinmin City, Liaoning Province. Prior to practicing Falun Dafa, he was a lawbreaker who associated with hooligans. After practicing Falun Dafa, however, Mr. Jing got rid of all his old habits, purified his mind and body and turned into a decent person of upstanding moral values.

On December 29, 2003, Mr. Jing attended a Falun Dafa conference in Shenyang City, after which he attracted the attention of the police, who have intensely targeted him since then. In July 2004, Jing Suo went to Sanhao Street to purchase supplies for a personal computer and the police followed him back to his place in Xinmin City, where they arrested him. The personal computer, printer and other equipment have all been confiscated.

Mr. Jing Suo was sentenced to four years in Nanhuayuan Prison in Fushun City, Liaoning Province.

On the morning of November 3, 2004, the Fangzheng Forestry Bureau's Liuqu Elementary Court unlawfully put Falun Dafa practitioners Chen Haifeng, Li Hongkui and Dong Xiangguo on trial. Chen Haifeng and Li Hongkui defended themselves by citing strong evidence and offering convincing arguments in their favor.
