One day in 2001, policemen from the Banqiao Police Station of Taicang City deceived Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Zhao Yumei at her workplace, convincing her to go to the station under the pretense of having some questions to ask her. She was sentenced to two years of forced labor simply because she put up several posters with the words "Falun Dafa is Good." The guards tortured her with electric batons and some other cruel methods when she was held at Judong Forced Labor Camp in Jiangsu Province. She suffered a mental collapse as a result of the inhumane torture.

4. [Hebei Province] Sixty-One-Year-Old Mr. Zhang Wenliang Has Been Jailed for More Than Four Years

Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Zhang Wenliang, 61, is a retired military cadre. He served in the Second Artillery Force of the People's Liberation Army. In recent years, he has been imprisoned for more than four years.

Some time ago, after the division that had been designated for persecuting Falun Gong was dismissed, Mr. Zhang Wenliang was transferred to Handan Forced Labor Camp in Hebei Province. It was the third time he was imprisoned since 1999. In 2000, Mr. Zhang was detained for more than one year by the Tangshan City Police Department. In 2002 he was sentenced to two years of forced labor because he appealed for justice for Falun Gong in 2000. During his imprisonment at the Shijiazhuang Forced Labor Camp, Mr. Zhang was deprived of sleep for a very long period of time. As a result, his lower limbs were swollen.

In late 2004, when Mr. Zhang Wenliang went to Beijing to visit his daughter, the Tangshan City Police Department framed him as going to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Gong. The policemen sent Mr. Zhang to a forced labor camp for three years for keeping Falun Gong books at home.

When his father-in-law protested the police's actions, he was badly beaten and seriously injured. Mr. Zeng was held at the Lianyuan City Detention Center and suffered from inhuman torture because the authorities sought to extort a confession. In July 2005, Mr. Zeng was sentenced to four-and-a-half years of imprisonment and was taken to Changde Prison in Hunan Province.

Ms. Zeng went on a hunger strike to protest the lawless acts. She was subjected to force-feeding and other forms of abuse. As a result, she suffered a mental collapse. Ms. Zeng was sentenced to three years of forced labor and is now held at the Baimalong Forced Labor Camp in Zhuzhou City, Hunan Province.

7. [Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province] Ms. Liu Chunhong and An Yajun Were Arrested by the 610 Office and Local Police While Picking up Truth-Clarification Materials

On the afternoon of July 23, 2005, Falun Dafa practitioners Ms. Liu Chunhong and An Yajun were arrested by officials of the Zhuhai City 610 Office and the police officers from the Gongbei Port Police Sub-department of Zhuhai City while picking up Falun Gong truth-clarification materials. A lot of the materials were confiscated.

The policemen began to beat Ms. Liu Chunhong right at the roadside and then took her to the Gongbei Port Police Sub-department. When a young policeman commanded Ms. Liu to get on her knees, she resolutely refused. Then the policeman viciously kicked her to the ground and smashed her head against the wall while verbally abusing her. Ms. Liu's head and feet were injured, which took more than twenty days to heal. During her detention at the Meixi No. 1 Detention Center, in Zhuhai City, she went on a hunger strike for seven days and was force-fed. She was given one year of forced labor and taken to the No. 1 Section of the Sanshui Women's Forced Labor Camp in September 2005.
