In mid-September of 2005, many government branches including the Ziyang Municipal Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Committee, the District CCP Committees, the Politics and Law Committees, 610 Office and police departments worked together and created a new wave of terror through TV, radios and newspapers. The public is encouraged to "report to authorities." Friends and relatives getting together may be called an "illegal gathering." The street committees, work units and village offices are forced to hang up a black sign reading, "Cracking Down on False Religion Office." On the night of September 28, the whole police force in the city were assembled, and they started large-scale arrests. The sounds of pounding on the doors and the dogs' barking awoke the city. In the name of "checking residential registrations," they forced the persecution on everyone.
Let us examine how those government branches and individual officials from the municipal and district CCP committees to the Politics and Law Committees, 610 Offices and the judicial departments, carried out their persecution of Falun Gong practitioners.
In the name of "Police force is limited but the people force is unlimited," with an incentive of 50 yuan to 200 yuan per month, they bribe and train many retirees, unemployed, people in the local community and various other people in society. These people are trained to monitor and follow practitioners.
The authorities threaten work units, schools, residential communities and various other people in society to make them monitor, report, harass and obstruct practitioners. Listed here are most active organizations and employers in the persecution of Falun Gong: the Chengjiao Police Station, the Nanjun Corporation, the Danshan Education Office and the Residential Community of No. 431 Factory employees.
They secretly arrested an excellent teacher, 60-year-old practitioner Ms. Wen Borui, and sentenced her to three years in prison.
They illegally arrested retired practitioner Ms. Liu Cuiyu, who used to work in the No. 431 Factory, and then immediately sentenced her to forced labor in secret.
They arrested a retired head nurse, practitioner Fu Tianlu, who used to work in the No. 431 Factory's hospital.
They arrested practitioner Fu Lijun, who worked in the No. 3 Subdivision of the No. 431 Factory. She was fired and then secretly sentenced to forced labor. Fu Lijun's family is in a desperate situation. Her father is paralyzed, her mother is sick, and her child is very young. The Ziyang Judicial Bureau rejected her appeal.
They arrested practitioner Li, who is retired from the No. 431 Factory, and practitioner Xiao Dailin, who worked in the factory's technical school. After forcing them to give up their beliefs and betray their fellow practitioners, they released the two.
At 9:30 a.m. on October 16, another set of arrests of Falun Gong practitioners took place under the Ximan railway bridge. Over-70-year-old practitioner Li Zhengrui was forcibly dragged into a police car and illegally detained. Ms. Li Zhengrui made a living by selling sewing needles and threads. She used to have illnesses but no money to see a doctor. She recovered after practicing Falun Gong. During the past six years, she had been arrested five or six times and was subjected to brutal beatings, several home searches and heavy fines. Someone stole from her, and she had difficulty maintaining a basic standard of living. She was arrested again on October 16.
On October 13, led by 610 Office head Zhang Xiang, the guard of the Nanjun Corp. Jian Guomin, officers from the local police station in the Jianguobeilu, the District 610 Office, armed police and police cars surrounded the residential community of the Laonongxiu Factory located at Jianguobeilu. They broke the window and got into the home of an older lady, Dong Yujing, who was retired from the technology section of the Nanjun Corporation. Those police barged in and turned the home upside down. It is still unknown how many personal belongings they removed from Dong Yuying's home. The retired lady can no longer go back home. At present, police are questioning her relatives and neighbors, and forcing them to become involved in the persecution and to report to them if they see her. Dong Yujing and her non-practitioner husband have been suffering persecution for years. The pressure and persecution come from people in charge in the Nanjun Corporation, from the 610 Office, and police. Her husband Hu Yuanzhong was the head of the technology section in Nanjun. In June 2000 he suffered from the persecution and his life was in danger, which eventually left him disabled. Dong's mother is 85 years old and almost died under the persecution. During the past six years, Dong Yuying has been arrested and detained seven times. She was beaten and sent to forced labor twice. Her life was in danger several times, and her home has been searched repeatedly. She has been fined heavily and lost her retirement pension. So far, there is still 8,000 yuan [of her money] held by the police department.
In order to continue persecuting Falun Gong and to please the CCP and get rewards, the head of the Ziyang municipal Politics and Law Committee Tang Yongliang and the head of the district Politics and Law Committee Duan Chengwu made a special trip to Nanjing City in June of this year to learn how to persecute Falun Gong. After they returned, they did not have time to immediately implement the persecution methods since there were some urgent issues to deal with, such as tricycle workers who were unjustly treated, farmers whose lands were forcibly taken away, the chaos caused by an unknown pestilence and so on. In September they got a break and thought it was a good time to implement the new persecution methods. They expanded the "Cracking Down False Religion Office" to have eight staffers and accelerated the propaganda to slander Falun Gong.
Falun Gong treasures all people. The practitioners in Ziyang City hope that all people in Ziyang will have good futures. Once again, with compassion, we call to those who continue to follow the CCP by persecuting Falun Gong, "No matter who you are, wake up! Become responsible to the Chinese people, to your family, your children and yourself! Quit the evil CCP and stand up for justice."
Known as a "Ministry Level Civilized Labor Camp," the Women's Forced Labor Camp in Shanxi Province (Xindian Women's Forced Labor Camp) has persecuted Falun Gong practitioners since July 20, 1999. The police there have colluded with the 610 Office, the police station, the prosecutor, the legislative districts, the courts, the National People's Congress, and other organizations. Inside the prison, they have incited criminals to subject the inmates to all kinds of excruciating tortures and mental torment in their attempts to "reform" the practitioners. What follows are some of the criminal acts that have been committed at this facility.
This camp is also called the Xindian Women's Forced Labor Camp. Most of the women Falun Gong practitioners from the province were held at this location and were subjected to forced labor. The camp is located at Xindian Street #5 in the Xinghualing District, Hengshan Street, Xindian Road, Taiyuan City. The camp supports approximately 60 police guards and approximately 500 detainees. Currently, 46 of the detainees are practitioners. Over the past six years, approximately 500 female Falun Gong practitioners from Shanxi Province have been illegally detained here. They were persecuted with savage physical abuse and mental torment.
In February 2005, some of the practitioners who were abused and mistreated wrote to the provincial department to sue the Xindian Forced Labor Camp guards and criminals who ganged up on practitioners. Incredibly, the political officials handed the lawsuit letter over to the police guards named in the suit, making the guards even more aggressive. Guard chief Meng Hao (female), political head Liu Zhongmei (female), guard Chen Chunxiang (female), guard Lei Hongzhen (female) and others, gathered the 12 practitioners whom they suspected to have written the letter together and made them stand for 24 hours. In the meantime, there were verbal abuse, threats, extended work time, reduced rest periods and other abuses.
Heartbroken and brainwashed, the spirit collapses
The camp guards frequently exchange information with the outside police on how to maximize the physical and mental abuse of practitioners in an attempt to destroy their will. Incessant exposure to slander and rumors is the most frequently used method. They forced practitioners to read slanderous materials and watch videos that attack Master and Falun Gong. They forced students to take turns talking, and everyone had to speak up. Whoever refused had points deducted and their terms extended, or had to suffer torture.
Excruciating torture
The police used all kinds of excruciatingly painful and harmful tortures. The first choice was sleep deprivation. This included working during the daytime, standing in the corridor or hallway in the evening, not being allowed to return to the dormitory, and having a criminal inmate monitor the practitioner. It was said that the police learned these methods from an "exchange program" with the Beijing Tuanhe Forced Labor Camp. They assigned six inmates to a group to carry out follow-up "persuasion," dividing the practitioners into three classes and monitoring them around the clock. Once a practitioner closed her eyes, she would be awakened. It was an ordeal for the practitioners' will. For committing these atrocities, the inmates would earn extra points or have their sentences reduced as a reward. Practitioner Ms. Zhang Meizhen was deprived of sleep for four days and nights. Eventually, only partly awake, she fell while walking, causing her legs to swell up. She could not wear shoes or even socks. The police frequently insulted and punched and kicked her.
Treating humans as animals and extending their working hours
The work in this camp included producing cigarette lighters. The Chinese Communist Party's police certainly enjoyed the profits. The practitioners, whether they were seniors or young people (the youngest was 22, the oldest was 70), had to get up as early as 5:00 a.m. and finally were permitted to sleep at midnight. At noon they were allowed one hour to eat, use the toilet, and rest. All the remainder of the time was for labor, which consisted of one or two processes in the making of cigarette lighters. Each day had a quota to be met, which the guards assigned at will and inevitably increased. If an inmate did not finish, the perpetrators would subtract points, extend her term, or even subject her to excruciating pain. After a while, many of their finger joints became swollen, distorted and curved. The most seriously hurt became disabled.
A criminal's paradise
Camp criminals who acted as police goons could do whatever they wanted. For example, they did not need to work, ate well, beat and verbally abused people at will, had no need to reform, and had the added benefits of extra points and reduced incarceration terms. Those who acted out their homosexuality were not interfered with. Drug addicts Xing Xiaoyan, Tie Yandong, Wang Yong, Li Yuping and others openly acted out their homosexuality. They even persuaded former practitioners who had given up Falun Gong to undermine the reputation of Falun Gong. The police guards didn't conduct an inquiry or investigate. On the contrary, they used these incidents to slander practitioners' reputations and used it as an excuse to persecute practitioners.
Partial case histories:
Datong Falun Gong practitioners Ms. Ma Yueying, 43, and Ms. Li Runfang, 35, originally from Taiyuan City, were illegally sentenced to three years of forced labor. Since December 2004 they have not had a chance for normal rest. Besides getting up as early as 5:00 a.m. and not being permitted to go to sleep until midnight on overtime labor, they sometimes had to join the so-called "heart-to-heart talks" till 3:00 or 4:00 a.m.
In February 2005, the guards strictly monitored 12 practitioners. During that time, Falun Gong persecution group leader Lei Hongzhen incited drug addicts Tie Yandong and Lian Li to brutally beat practitioners Ms. Pei Xiuying and others. The miserable cries of Falun Gong practitioners were heard from far away. Guard Lei Hongzhen, however, who stood outside the door, said that she heard nothing. Practitioner Ms. Chen Fang, 54, is from Beijing and used to work at the capital's airport. Criminal inmate Wang, female, 34 years old and from Taiyuan City, beat Ms. Chen for no reason. When Ms. Chen reported this to police guard Yang Bin, Yang Bin not only did not punish the criminal but blamed Ms. Chen for "not observing the regulations."
On February 6-7, 2005, practitioners Ms. An Xiaorun, Ms. Yang Shengping, Ms. Zhao Runmei, and Ms. Zhu Xianhua and were discovered making private copies of Master's scripture. Falun Gong persecution group leader Meng Ha discovered them. They were forced to stand for four days and nights at the office in the main building. They were not allowed to eat or drink anything. In addition, they were repeatedly forced to study slanderous materials and write repentance "understandings." Their term was also illegally extended by an extra three months.
Something happened on August 17, 2005, between 1 and 2 p.m. in the medical office on the second floor. Practitioners Ms. Ma Yueying, 43, from Datong City, and Ms. Li Runfang, 35 years old, presently from Taiyuan City, were force-fed by police officer Meng Hao and criminals Li Yuping, Tie Yandong and Wang Yong. The practitioners had gone on a hunger strike to protest the 15-day persecution. The criminals used a piece of metal hardware over a foot long to pry open the two practitioners' mouths, causing their mouths serious injuries. Blood spurted not only on these two women and on the guards and criminals, but also onto the bed, the wall and the floor of the medical office. The guards and criminals feared that others would discover this proof of their criminal deeds, so they hurriedly changed Ms. Ma and Ms. Li's clothing. Then they ordered Ms. Ma and Ms. Li not to disclose this matter.
The authorities sent Shanxi Province Datong City practitioner Ms. Niu Lanying, 43, to the Xindian Forced Labor Camp three times. In the beginning of March 2005, they arrested her the second time and took her to Xindian. That same afternoon, Meng Hao (team eader), Liu Zhongmei (political head), and Lei Hongzhen assigned a criminal inmate to monitor her. She was forbidden to sleep in an attempt to make her quickly give up "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance."
After Ms. Niu had been on a hunger strike to protest for nearly two weeks, the guards realized that they could not achieved their goal this way. They then put her separately in the strictly monitored room on the second floor. Ms. Niu not only did not cooperate but also shouted loudly, "Falun Dafa is great!" Then she sat in the meditation pose. The guards further intensified the persecution. They incited a criminal inmate to beat her at will until she could not speak a single word. During that time guard team eader Meng Hao let this criminal drag Ms. Niu Lanying into the corridor and beat her in front of many practitioners. The criminal clamored, "Let's see you shout." In the meantime, four other inmates were assigned to forcibly feed Ms. Niu at the clinic office with corn paste and salt, inject her with 1500 milliliters of salt water, and puncture her on her hands and arms seven to eight times or more every day. This upset Niu Lanying's stomach and intestinal functions. A capillary burst. She also vomited continuously. She was seriously ill and weighed only 35 kg. Altogether she had fasted for 73 days. The authorities feared that she might die in the camp, so they released her in the middle of May 2005.
After Ms. Niu's condition had stabilized somewhat, however, the forced labor camp police, in collusion with the Datong "610 Office," arrested her for a third time at around ten o'clock in the evening on August 16, 2005, and took her again to the Taiyuan City Xindian Women's Forced Labor Camp. They used every imaginable kind of torture on her, but Ms. Niu refused to reply to any questions and has continued to fast. The police are still using excruciating methods to torture her.

Mr. Luo Guang and his wife Mrs. Song Xiahui
Mr. Luo is over 30 years old and was originally employed at the Fire Department in Hongqiling Town, Panshi City, Jilin Province. Because he persistently continued his practice in Falun Gong, he was illegally sent to a forced labor camp three times. He was first detained in Jilin City's Huanxiling Forced Labor Camp. He refused to give up his practice and suffered all kinds of physical punishment and spiritual persecution. He was then transferred to the Yinmahe Forced Labor Camp in Jiutai, Jilin Province. At the end of his sentence Mr. Luo returned home openly and with dignity. He continued to appeal for Falun Gong and clarify the truth to people.
In the spring of 2003, Mr. Luo was again sent to be re-educated through labor for three years in Yinmahe Forced Labor Camp, Jilin Province. Mr. Luo resisted this persecution. He did not work and he did not listen to or watch the video recordings that slandered Falun Gong. On one occasion Mr. Luo destroyed two videotapes that slandered Falun Gong. The police instructor Meng Fanrong and the chief Li Xiaochun brutally attacked him. As a result, both of Mr. Luo's ears festered and he had sharp pains in his head. Mr. Luo is still being persecuted at the Yinmahe Forced Labor Camp.
Mr. Luo's wife, Ms. Song Xiaohui, is over 30 years old and a doctor. She originally had congenital heart disease and paralysis. After she practiced Falun Gong, her health improved.
Ms. Song insisted on continuing her practice following July 20, 1999, and she was illegally detained many times. She was sent to a forced labor camp and suffered many kinds of brutal persecution. When Ms. Song was released in 2004 , she was forced into poverty and became homeless.
Ms. Song continued to clarify the truth to people and in 2005 she was arrested and sentenced to a forced labor camp again. She is currently in the Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp in Changchun.

Wang Xiuxiang in Weifang City, Shandong Province Dies of an Injustice in 2000
Wang Xiuxiang in Weifang City, Shandong Province was threatened and terrorized by town government officials and passed away on October 16, 2000.
Ms. Wang Xiuxiang, 40, lived in Banyuan West Village, Panli Street, Agriculture Economy Development District, Weifang City. She began practicing Falun Gong in 1997. Practicing Falun Gong resulted in all of her illnesses disappearing and a harmonious family life.
On July 20, 1999, the Jiang Zemin regime began persecuting Falun Gong. Officials in Yuhe Town (previously Xingbu Town), Weicheng District frequently came to Wang Xiuxiang's home to harass her, fine and threaten her family. They did not allow her to practice Falun Gong. After she was forced to discontinue practicing Falun Gong, she became ill again. She then renewed her study of the Falun Gong principles and secretly practicing Falun Gong.
Later she realized that she should speak up for Falun Gong. Thus she went to Tiananmen Square to appeal for Falun Gong with two other fellow practitioners on July 20, 2000. After being detained by police at the Weifang City Office at Beijing, she was brought back to Xingbu Town, where she was again persecuted by the town government. Only after the town government officials realized that Wang could not endure the persecution in her physical condition, did they release her. They issued threats against her practicing Falun Gong. She kept hesitating between practicing Falun Gong or not, and passed away on October 16, 2000.
People responsible for persecuting Wang Xiuxiang:
Xiao Huaiming, CCP Secretary of Xingbu Town
Wang Chengfang, CCP Secretary of Political and Judicial Committee

Zhang Zhihui in Zhucheng City, Shandong Province Dies of Injustice under Persecution
Falun Gong practitioner Zhang Zhihui in Zhucheng City, Shandong Province was often illegally detained and persecuted due to her practice of Falun Gong. She experienced tremendous physical and mental suffering, and passed away on October 21, 2005.
Ms. Zhang Zhihui lived in Zi Village, Lijia Farm, Longdu Street District, Zhucheng City, Shandong Province. After she studied Falun Gong books and practiced Falun Gong in 1998, her terrible back pain disappeared and conflicts between the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law were eliminated. People around her said that she looked like a new person. She said it was Falun Gong that changed her and let her feel the warmth of a happy home.
Jiang's wicked regime launched the persecution of good people. In order to appeal for Falun Gong and say a just word for Falun Gong, facing different kinds of pressure, Zhang Zhihui broke through layers of obstacles and went to Beijing. After she came back, the authorities persecuted her five times within seven months, which includes detaining her twice, illegally imprisoning her once, and forcibly taking her to a brainwashing session at the Prosperity Hotel twice. She did not cooperate with the authorities, as previously reported.
During the days around December 14, 2004, Xu Guangrong, along with five or six other police officers, once again broke into her house, confiscated her VCDs and Falun Gong books, and forcibly detained her. She went on a hunger strike in the detention center to protest such unjustifiable persecution. She was not released until she was tortured to the extent where she started to vomit blood on the sixth day. This persecution caused great harm to her mind and body, and she didn't dare to return home whenever she saw a police vehicle. She died from the persecution on October 21, 2005, when she was only forty-three years old.
