Facts of the Persecution

1. Falun Dafa Practitioner Jia Zhefa escaped from Chishan Prison in Hunan Province; practitioner Zhang Peng brutally tortured

On the afternoon of October 18, 2004, Falun Dafa practitioner Jia Zhefa escaped from Chishan Prison in Hunan Province. Later that same day, Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Zhang Peng was detained in solitary confinement. On November 2, Mr. Zhang was sent to the Wulingyuan Prison in Changde where he was handcuffed and hung up for six days and six nights. The eight guards who took part in the torture included four guards from Chishan Prison, led by Zi Wei, and four from the Yuanjiang City National Security Bureau led by Zeng Ming. During the more than two months that Mr. Zhang was in detention at the Wulingyuan Prison, they took turns persecuting him by not allowing him to sleep. On January 10, 2005, Mr. Zhang was transferred to the Yuanjiang City Detention Center. Late at night on January 14, six officers from the Yuanjiang City National Security Bureau led by Zeng Ming covered Mr. Zhang's face and escorted him to a hotel several miles from the Chishan Prison, where they hung him up for six days, during which time they took turns interrogating him. The last person to talk to him was a political head from the Yiyang City Police Department. He talked to Mr. Zhang for over five hours; Mr. Zhang clarified the truth to him.

2. Perpetrators in Shulan City, Jilin Province persecute Dafa practitioners

On October 9, 2004, perpetrators from the Shulan City 610 Office, the city police department, the National Security Bureau and the Lianhua Township Police Station, including officer Du Yuzhuo, persecuted Dafa practitioners in Lianhua Township. They arrested the practitioners and ransacked their homes. They ransacked the homes of practitioners Cheng Zhaoli and Mr. Liu Huaide and sent Mr. Liu to the Shulan City Detention Center. Mr. Liu was ruthlessly tortured during detention and was later illegally sentenced to one year of forced labor. The labor camp refused to accept him because he was old and ill. When his family visited him at the detention center on March 1, 2005, his left check and eyelid were severely swollen; he had furuncles on top of his head seeping pus and he could not walk normally. His family could hardly recognize him.

Practitioner Mr. Liang Wanlin was arrested at home and sent to the Shulan City Detention Center. He suffered a nervous breakdown due to the persecution. The perpetrators sentenced him, a man in his 60s, to one year of forced labor and sent him to the Jiutai Labor Camp in Yinmahe.

3. Perpetrators at the Kangxianzhuang Township Police Station in Bazhou City, Hebei Province

Perpetrators from the Kangxianzhuang township government, the Political and Judiciary Committee and the police station have persecuted Dafa practitioners during the past five years. At 11:00 a.m. on February 5, 2005 [Chinese lunar calendar], a dozen perpetrators from the Kangxianzhuang Township Police Station and from the National Security Bureau arrested practitioner Mr. Zhang Xiaoxia from her home in Beigaogezhuang Village. Once before, Ms. Zhang and another practitioner from the same village were arrested and sent to the village government. The perpetrators locked them in the same room with a 20-year-old male inmate. The room was dark and damp, with bugs crawling all over. The practitioners had bug bites all over their bodies that itched and ached.

Practitioners Han and Wang were arrested when working in the fields. They were handcuffed to a wire pole in the pouring rain; they shivered in the cold weather and could hardly walk afterwards. A family of four was arrested and taken to the village police station; the young child was left behind, with no one to care for him. In the past few years, many practitioners have been arrested and sentenced to forced labor. The perpetrators repeatedly arrested, harassed and searched the practitioners and sent them to the city detention center or to forced brainwashing centers.
