Facts of the Persecution

Dafa Practitioners Ms. Ding Shumei and Ms. Liu Yuanling Tortured at the Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp in Hebei Province

Dafa practitioner Ding Shumei, a 44-year-old elementary school teacher from Zhazishi Street, Xuanhua District, Zhangjiakou City went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Dafa on March 2, 2000. She was illegally detained for one month. In October 2001 she was sentenced to three years of forced labor and sent to the Kaiping Forced Labor Camp in Tangshan City. On August 10, 2005, the persecutors tried to send her to a labor camp, but many labor camps refused to take her. After arriving in Baoding City, Hebei Province, the local police paid a large amount of money to the Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp officials so that they would take Ding Shumei. She has been on hunger strike for more than 10 days and her life is in danger.

Since August 1, Shi Jiangxia, head of Division 2 (a division that holds only Falun Gong practitioners) and political head Li Yanji at the Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp tortured Falun Gong practitioner Liu Yuanling. They didn't allow her to eat, stripped her naked, cut her hair, shocked her with electric batons, beat and kicked her, and otherwise insulted her. They also took Liu Yuanling's clothes and quilts. On the morning of August 7, perpetrators Li Yanji, Tian Zhili, Fan Miaolu and Yan Yurong beat Liu Yuanling. On the morning of August 10, Li Xuejun, the political head of Division 2, dragged Liu Yuanling out and forced her to run, in the name of "running" and "training." Liu Yuanling refused to follow Li Xuejun's orders. The perpetrators told Yan Yurong to ferociously kick Liu Yuanling's back and stomp on her feet. Liu Yuanling was tortured for more than ten days, yet she still remained determined in her Dafa practice.

Lawless Police in Xuyong County and Gulin County in Sichuan Province

On August 18 and August 19, police cars parked at a thoroughfare on their way from Gulin County to Xuyong County.

A group of police officers broke into Falun Gong practitioner Wan Mingjun's home, ignoring the fact that a member of Wan Mingjun's family was critically ill and bedridden. They ransacked the home, illegally arrested Wan Mingjun, and took a computer and some Falun Gong materials to the Xuyong Police Department. On August 19, the police arrested Wan Mingjun's daughter, who is not a Falun Gong practitioner. On August 22, Wan Mingjun's wife passed away. Gulin County police officials reluctantly let Wan Mingjun go home for ten days to take care of the funeral, but first they extorted a 5,000 yuan "deposit" from Wan Mingjun's adult children and forced them to write a guarantee statement. During the funeral, the police constantly monitored Wan Mingjun.

At around 9:00 p.m. on August 23 two police cars from Xuyong County and Gulin County drove to the family dormitory, which is affiliated with the Xuyong County Agriculture Bureau. They ransacked the home of Falun Gong practitioner Zhu Xiangling, took her to the police department and interrogated her for about one hour.
