Facts of the Persecution

1. Authorities in Duolun County, Inner Mongolia Province Hold Another Brainwashing Session and Illegally Arrest a Number of Falun Dafa Practitioners

Authorities in Duolun County, Inner Mongolia held another brainwashing session on August 10, and arrested and transported a number of practitioners to the session. Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Han Xiulan was arrested and taken to the session by police officers on the morning of August 10. Ms. Han's husband, a non-practitioner, tried to stop the officers from abducting his wife. Instead, he was arrested and also forced into the police vehicle. So far the local authorities have arrested at least five practitioners.

2. Authorities at Wafangdian Prison Deny Wrongdoing and Cover up the Truth after Torturing Many Practitioners to the Point of Severe Injury

Families of Falun Dafa practitioners who are illegally imprisoned in the Wafangdian Prison filed a complaint against the prison authority. On August 10, three months after the initial complaint, prison director Song Lujun finally agreed to meet with them. The meeting was held in a very unfriendly atmosphere. In response to the complaint that many Falun Dafa practitioners in the prison were severely injured by torture, Song replied, "It didn't happen before, and it will never happen in the future." Soon after, he left the meeting.

In early 2005, the prison police, together with some inmates under their direction, tortured and beat many imprisoned Falun Dafa practitioners. They broke the ribs of three practitioners and caused severe injuries to many others. In April 2005, the practitioners' families filed a lawsuit against the Laogai (Forced Labor Camp) Bureau of Liaoning Province on behalf of the dozen practitioners imprisoned there. The complaint was against the prison officers involved, including Lu Chuangui (prison brigade head), Li Xu (head of a prison branch brigade), and Liu Chenglin (also head of a prison branch brigade).

3. Yang Shengxin, Falun Dafa Practitioner in Hunan Province, Faces Illegal Sentence

Yang Shengxin, a Falun Dafa practitioner arrested by the authorities in Hunan Province on February 22, 2005, has been imprisoned for over six months. Recently the Procuratorate of Hecheng District issued a "prosecution notice" to Yang's family and attempted to sentence Mr. Yang. This is the fourth time that Mr. Yang has been persecuted. Yang Shengxin has been imprisoned three times before because of he practices Falun Dafa, and has had ten thousand yuan extorted from him. Later, the authorities imprisoned Mr. Yang in a forced labor camp in Xinkaipu, Changsha City, Hunan Province. As Mr. Yang manifested symptoms of illness after extended persecution, the authorities at the camp reluctantly released him.
