The Facts of the Persecution of Falun Gong  -- December 23, 2005

Issued by Clearwisdom Net

Three officials, Dongchengfang Town CCP Political and Judiciary Committee Secretary Song Xiaobin, General Office Chair Chai Yuqiao, and Xituan Village CCP Secretary Yang Shun, recently teamed up to hide the truth about the recent police rapes of two Falun Gong practitioners while in police custody. They follow and threaten the families of the rape victims, do not allow them to take long trips, and have blocked their gates overnight for the past several days.

They held a meeting of CCP secretaries and village heads in all of Dongchengfang. They announced that Hebei Province Police Department has offered a one hundred thousand yuan reward to help find the two escaped victims. Officials are trying to deny the rapes, extort an additional four thousand yuan, and send them to forced labor.

The Officials are willing to spend as much as necessary to locate two witnesses, Mr. Wang and Ms. Qu, so that they can try to force them to make false statements. They want them to say that they were never separated from the two rape victims, which would indicate that the rapist policeman, He Xuejian, never took the victims away privately, and hence, that the rapes never happened. Officials have threatened other Falun Dafa practitioners' families, and promised that they would give back their extorted three thousand yuan, but never did.

On the afternoon of December 16, 2005, Xituan Village broadcast through its speaker system that the rape victims both have registered letters to be picked up. People revealed that the letters were from the Procuratorate, but were not clear what were they were about.

The guards peel off the practitioners' clothing while they are bound to a chair. Meanwhile, two wardens shock the practitioners' genitals, feet and palms with electric batons. Usually it is accompanied by beatings, and causes extreme pain to the victim. Three guards who are guilty of this torture are Li Songtao, Zhang Jiabin and Feng Zibin.

To prevent the detained Dafa practitioners from speaking, the guards coil thick metal wire around a piece of cork and put it into their mouths. The cork presses down on the tongue and reaches down to the throat. Then they bind the wire around the victim's head. Anyone who is tortured this way feels like vomiting. The guards also put earphones on their ears and turn the volume to the loudest setting and force them to listen to slandering words against Dafa. Meanwhile, they also step on practitioners' necks and shock their necks with electric batons.

This involves wiping the practitioners' mouths with toilet paper that has human feces and urine on it and pouring urine into their mouths. It is usually done by handpicked prisoners.

(1) This is a cruel physical punishment. The practitioners are forced to sit on chairs no wider than 35 centimeters and the distance between legs is less than ten centimeters. They are forced to sit still on such chairs with hands on the knee and eyes open. Anyone who doesn't do it is beaten. After keeping up the posture for a long time, the back and legs become numb and very painful, the flesh on buttocks becomes purple, painful and festers. This punishment lasts for as long as 16 hours every day. Some have been tortured this way for 3 years.

(2) This torture was designed by a guard named Yan Guosheng. To prevent the detained Dafa practitioners from speaking, the wardens handcuffed them behind their backs, tied them to chairs and put a towel in their mouths. The wardens also ordered the other prisoners to monitor them so that they couldn't move at all.

(3) The wardens forced the Dafa practitioners to sit on small benches and to wear

helmets with their arms bound to iron beds. The other prisoners monitored them to prevent them from moving.

The practitioners were forced to sit on small benches, handcuffed and had earphones put on them that broadcast slandering material against Dafa. The volume was turned up to the loudest setting. The prisoners monitored the practitioners, and guards patrolled beside them. Sometimes the wardens violently shocked them with electric batons.

In this torture, they burn the practitioners' fingernails with lit cigarettes.

1. Iron chair

This is the model of an iron chair used to persecute the detained Dafa practitioners. The real one is much heavier.

All those who refuse to be "transformed" or refuse to cooperate with the persecution are tied onto such a chair for a long time. The most inhumane practice is to put a thick tube into the victim's throat and stir it around. Then they open the victim's mouth and force-feed the person while they are bleeding. Most of the victims were persecuted to such an extent that they couldn't move their limbs and their eyeballs were bulging out. The arrow points to the hook used to fix the body.

The authorities of the Jinzhou Labor Camp implement various sorts of torture on the practitioners who refuse to yield to them. During the period of so-called "intensive brainwashing and transformation," all the wardens were ordered to live in the labor camp and were not allowed to go home. When their normal tactics didn't work, the wardens would apply all kinds of torture.

In the past six years, this labor camp has become infamous for its most vicious and in-humane methods in the persecution. Dafa practitioner Shi Zhongyan from Jinzhou was killed by the torture. Xiao Peng from Yi County was persecuted to the state of insanity before dying.

Dou Guojun from Beizheng was persecuted to the point of developing a mental disorder. Hundreds of people once suffered from torture in the labor camp, and the persecution is still going on.

Under the torture Shao Mingang has been close to death, with blood pressure as high as 200. The labor camp refuses to allow family members to see him and doesn't allow him to be released for medical treatment.

Qi Mingli has become disabled from the persecution. His body is covered with scabies and he has trouble seeing. The labor camp didn't give him any medical treatment.

Dafa practitioner Miao Jianguo, who has been persecuted until he is in very poor health, should have been released on July 2, 2005. However, the labor camp refused to release him using the excuse that he had not been transformed. In 2003, the labor camp extorted 7,000 yuan from his 80-year-old parents, and the money has not been returned yet. Miao's parents are enduring a great amount of grief while missing their son and being unable to repay money that they borrowed to pay the police.

The crimes committed by Jinzhou Labor Camp headed by Zhang Haiping, Jin Fuli, Li Fenglin and its second team headed by Bai Jinlong, Li Songtao in the last 6 years will not go unpunished.

On October 29, 2005, the officials from the Mengyin County (Shandong Province) 610 Office and the the County's No. 1 High School of Shandong Province used an axe to smash through the security door of Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Yi Shuling's home. Ms. Yi, a schoolteacher, was forced to escape through the fifth floor window to evade attempts to illegally arrest her. The officials ransacked Ms. Yi's house, changed the lock at the entrance of her home and took the key with them when they left.

Ms. Yi Shuling, about 35-years-old, is a teacher of the 2nd Branch School of the County's 1st High School. Over the past 6 years, the county 610 Office has persecuted her for practicing Falun Gong. She was sent to a forced labor camp to be tortured, and brainwashed and she was deprived of her right to work.

In 2001, Ms. Yi was held at a brainwashing center run by the Mengyin County 610 Office for more than 2 months. During that period of time she was forced fed.

In 2002, Ms. Yi was sentenced to three years of forced labor and was held at the 1st Women's Forced Labor Camp, Shangdong Province. She suffered many different torture methods for refusing to give up her belief in Falun Dafa. The torture included: forbidding her to urinate or excrete, forbidding her to eat and drink, sealing her mouth with adhesive plaster, tying her up and hanging her in the air, force-feeding her and forcing her to take unknown drugs. Ms. Yi was just skin and bones as a result of the persecution. To avoid responsibility, the forced labor camp collaborated with the Mengyin County 610 Office to send Ms. Yi to a mental hospital for further persecution after extorting thousands of yuan from her. The total is estimated at 6,000 yuan.

Under the enormous psychological and social pressure, Ms. Yi's husband divorced her and the courts awarded custody of their daughter to her husband. Ms. Yi's family has been broken up and her loved ones have been forced to leave her.

After Ms. Yi left the mental hospital she went to her workplace to request her job back. The Second Branch School of the Mengyin County's No. 1 High School asked her to see the 610 officials. However, the 610 officials said that since she had not renounced Falun Gong, and her terms of forced labor had not been served in full, her request was refused. Ms. Yi said, "You don't have the right not to let me work because it is against the country's laws." The Head of the Mengyin County 610 Office, Cui Huadong, said, "Don't talk about the law while you are here. If you want to talk about the law, then go to the forced labor camp!"

In the past two years, Ms. Yi's has mainly relied on her relatives and some odd jobs for her livelihood. In July or August she was invited to be a teacher at a private school in another county. However, after having the stable job for a few months, the authorities persecuted her once again.

On October 29, 2005, Ms. Yi Shuling came back home to visit her daughter. At about 9 o'clock Du Qingtai, the Union President of the Second Branch School of the Mengyin County's No. 1 High School, as well as teachers Feng Wenxue and Feng Youlan, led the officials from the County 610 Office and the County Police Department 610 Office to Ms. Yi's home and requested that she open the door. They waited for 20 minutes. Ms. Yi did not open the door. Du Qingtai and the two teachers left. However, the officials from the two 610 Offices still waited downstairs. They waited for the whole night. Ms. Yi Shuling was forced to climb down through the window on the fifth floor with a rope and left unharmed.

On October 30, the officials from the County 610 Office and the County Police Department 610 Office collaborated with the Second Branch School of the County's No. 1 High School to use an axe to smash the security door and the wooden door and then broke into Ms. Yi's home. They ransacked the house without a proper warrant. They took away the Falun Dafa books and materials as well as the TV set and DVD player. After that they changed the lock to Ms. Yi's house and the 2nd Branch School of the County's 1st High School took the key.

Ms. Yi had experienced inhuman torture in the brainwashing center run by the Mengyin County 610 Office and the forced labor camp. When she found the 610 officials and their cars blocking the entrance to her building, she had no choice but to risk her life to climb down through the window of the fifth floor with a rope. As the rope was not long enough, Ms. Yi had to tear a bed sheet to extend the length of the rope to reach the ground.

Mr. Xu Changhong started practicing Falun Dafa in 1994, and his wife Su Xiaolian started in 1995. After the persecution started on July 20, 1999, they appealed for justice for Dafa in Beijing. They were persecuted many times by local police, forced labor camps and their work unit. Changhong's parents-in-law were harassed and their home was ransacked. Changhong's mother went to the police station and demanded the release of the couple many times, but they were not released.

Mr. Xu Changhong was a pharmacist at Zhongxing Hospital in Xianning City. After July 20, 1999, he and his wife appealed in Beijing. Changhong was sent to forced labor camp for one year in October 1999. He was illegally imprisoned in the Xianning Forced Labor Camp and the 3rd Unit of the Qilihu Forced Labor Camp, Shayang County, Hubei Province. He suffered from pleurisy after he came home but recovered after practicing Falun Gong for some time.

Mr. Xu Changhong was arrested from work on April 24, 2004 and sent to the Wenquan Public Security Bureau in Tongshan County, Xianning City. He was illegally imprisoned for four months.

At about six o'clock at night on September 7, 2005, the police illegally ransacked Mr. Xu's home. They confiscated a computer, some Dafa books and a notebook that the police thought valuable. At the time, his wife Su Xiaolian confronted the police. She asked their names and their reason for ransacking her home. Policeman Mingyang said, "It is because you practice Falun Gong that we represent the government to ransack your home." He then tied her hands up behind her back. That night, she went to Yihaoqiao police station to ask for her house key from policeman Pi Jian. Pi said that she should come the next day. However, the next day he said that the key had been sent to the sub-bureau. The sub-bureau officer said that Du Zhixiang of the state security team was not there and that she should come in the afternoon. But when she came in the afternoon, the officer refused to give the key to her using all kinds of excuses.

The next day, September 8, 2005, Liu Ying from the state security team, Wang Dongmin from the agriculture science institute and others ransacked Mr. Xu's parents-in-law's home for over an hour. There was no one home at the time, and the police did not care about being criticized. They took away Falun Gong clothes, Teacher's lecture VCDs, and other private property that were bought before 1999.

Mr. Xu's mother went to the Wenquan Police Station twice and demanded that they release Mr. Xu. The first time she went was on the morning of October 8, 2005. Police officer Liu Ying said that his supervisor Du Zhixiang, was on his holiday and he didn't have the authority to release Xu. She tried again on the morning of November 15, 2005. Du Zhixiang said that Mr. Xu had been arrested and was waiting to be sentenced.

Mr. Xu's wife Su Xiaolian was a worker at the agriculture science institute in Xianning City. She appealed in Beijing in December 1999, and was illegally imprisoned for thirteen days. Her work unit did not allow her to work and stopped her salary. Wang Hanqiao was the director and Chen Ligen was the secretary at the time. Ms. Su refused to give up practicing Falun Gong, and she was illegally imprisoned twice, once in July 2000 and again in April 2001.

Ms. Su clarified the truth to the city government in August 2002. She demanded the release of Falun Dafa practitioners who had been imprisoned. The person in charge at that time was Xu Mengliang. On the morning of August 21, members of the Chalukou police station and Wenquan police station Du Zhixiang, Chen Dongbin and others arrested Ms. Su from her home and sent her to the Shizishan Drug Rehabilitation Center in Xuchang City to be "re-educated" through forced labor for two years.

At the beginning of 2004, Ms. Su was released. She demanded that she be allowed to work. Wang Dade was the director and Chen Ligen was the secretary at the time. They made her sweep the floors and lock the doors, and only paid her three hundred yuan for one month's work. At the beginning of 2005, Ms. Su clarified the truth to the supervisors and asked for a reasonable salary, but was refused.

Six Dafa practitioners from Karamay City, including Ms. Zhang Xiaowei, were arrested on November 24, 2005 and detained in Karamay Detention Center. The authorities plotted to detain them for one month and then transfer them.

After Zhang Xiaowei was arrested, her four-year-old daughter cried for her every day. Her husband went to the detention center to see her, but was turned away. Xiaowei and her husband are both from Heilongjiang province and both work in the Karamay Oil Mechanic Production Institute. Her mother passed away just one month ago. Her father suffers from hypertension and cannot come to Xinjiang to see her.

It is said that policemen coerced two colleagues of Zhang Xiaowei to testify that she printed the materials. This way, policemen could establish this case and go ahead to investigate it. The police plotted to persecute her.

Dafa practitioner Zhao Shuyuan, an engineer of Karamay Oil Management, was sentenced to nine years in prison. She was detained in the Xinjiang Women's Prison in 2003 and subjected to brainwashing. Zhao went on a hunger strike to protest. The deputy chief of the No. 4 section, Ma Ling, force-fed her three times every day. As a result, her trachea was damaged and she could not speak for a long time. In June and July of 2004, the chief of the No.9 Section Li Peixin locked her to a bed with arms extended to both sides and the body bound to a small bench. She was cuffed in this way for four months. Zhao is now emaciated due to the torture she has been subjected to.

Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Wang Liwu from Qingcheng County, Qingyang City, Gansu Province, went to Beijing to clarify the truth in 2001. He was detained in Qingyang City Detention Center, where he suffered a fractured skull and a mental breakdown. Mr. Wang's mental state was so confused as a result of the torture that he took his own life by drinking agricultural chemicals, even though the teachings of Falun Dafa prohibit all killing, including suicide.

Mr. Wang Liwu was 38 years old and lived in Taile Village, Qingcheng County. He began practicing Falun Dafa in 1996 and had been solidly cultivating. He went to "clarify the truth" in Beijing in June 2001 and was arrested, detained in Gansu Province Beijing Liaison Office, and released after he went on a hunger strike for a week. After returning home, Mr. Wang went to the CCP County Committee to clarify the truth and requested that they return his Falun Dafa books that they had confiscated. The police arrested him and detained him in the Qingyang City Detention Center for 25 days. Prisoners were encouraged to torture him brutally and did not allow him to do the exercises. Mr. Wang was cruelly beaten while tied up with ropes.

Mr. Wang went to the CCP Prefecture Committee to appeal for Falun Dafa and was arrested on the way home. He was again put in the Qingyang City Detention Center and brutally tortured, resulting in severe damage to his mental and physical health. His thoughts were fuzzy after returning home, and he often had headaches. When one of his family members sent him to the hospital, the doctors found that one side of his skull was fractured. Soon after, he suffered a mental breakdown and died from drinking agricultural chemicals.

The Qingcheng County 610 Office top official with the last name of "Men" and his henchman Bai Weiquan (male) received retribution when they died in an accident on

Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Niu Yuntao from Xianghe County suffered from infantile paralysis when he was four years old. He has no calf muscles and thus has difficulty walking. After he started to practice Falun Dafa, he started to grow muscles on his calves and his health improved greatly. Everyone in his local area witnessed this change. Recently, Niu Yuntao went to Sanhe City, a part Langfang City, to clarify the truth about Falun Dafa to people. Police arrested him, and he was sent to the Langfang City Brainwashing Center.

2. [Liaoning Province] Wang Xin Has Been Staging a Hunger Strike in the Huazi Prison for Over a Month

Practitioner Mr. Wang Xin, a Ph.D. candidate from Tsinghua University, was sentenced to ten years of imprisonment. To date, he has been held at the Liaoning Province Huazi Prison for over four years. Mr. Wang has been on a hunger strike for over a month and is now extremely weak. Personnel from the prison strictly blocked information about him from leaking out.

Telephone number for Wang, head of the Huazi Prison: 86-419-8540001 and 8542001.

3. [Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province] Personnel from the Jinzhou City Forced Labor Camp Extend the Detention Terms of Those Practitioners Who Declare Their Reformation Statements to be Null and Void

Recently, four practitioners who are detained in the Jinzhou City Forced Labor Camp declared their reformation statements to be null and void and that they would resume Falun Dafa practice. As a result, their terms were extended. These practitioners are:

Wang Zhigang from Jinzhou City, term extended by one month;

Cheng Junfeng from Huludao City, term extended by 20 days;

Jing Long from Badahao Town, Heishan County, term extended by two months;

Yan Bai from Benxi City, term extended by one month.

4. [Huinan County, Jilin Province] Four Practitioners Including Xu Jun Sentenced to a Forced Labor Camp

On September 5, 2005, these four practitioners who had been arrested for making truth-clarifying materials were sent to the Changchun City Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp. Xu Jun was sentenced to three years of forced labor, Zhu Shuqing three years, Zhang Jiyuan two years and Ms. Wang Shulan two years. The forced labor camp refused to accept Wang Shulan because her blood pressure was too high. She was released after being held at the county detention center for two weeks. Personnel from the "610 Office" forced her daughter to sign a statement before they released Wang Shulan.

5. [Liaoning Province] Li Guichun and Feng Suhua Brutally Tortured in the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp

In 2003, practitioner Ms. Li Guichun from the rural area of Benxi City, Liaoning Province, 57 years old, was arrested and sent to the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp. Because of her determination to practice Falun Dafa, police attacked her mouth with pincers, loosening and damaging a tooth.

In March 2005, Li Guichun was transferred to the No. 1 Division for "strict administration." Because she went on a hunger strike and spoke loudly "Falun Dafa is great", they sent her into a solitary compartment for a month. While force-feeding her, several wardens came at her together. They pushed her onto the ground and kicked and beat her. Warden Liu Chunjie often stepped on Li's face and hands with her leather shoes. Li's face and hands were covered with bruises. Once, a warden even shocked Li's face and neck with an electric baton. Li Guichun suffered all kinds of tortures that were too miserable to witness. Later she stopped the hunger strike and was sent back to the No.1 Division, but she was still under "strict administration."

Practitioner Ms. Feng Suhua from Tieling City, Liaoning Province is being closely monitored in the No.1 Division. On April 11, 2004, because she spoke loudly "Falun Dafa is great," wardens Zhang Lei and Liu Hui forced her to remain standing for a whole day. In the evening, she fainted and lost consciousness. Immediately after Feng regained consciousness, a warden pulled her quilt away and forced her to sit on a stool. Due to being tortured for a long time, Feng Suhua was emaciated and very weak. As she was forced to sit on stools for long periods of time, her buttocks turned black.

6. [Zhaoyuan City, Shandong Province] Personnel "610 Office" Arrested Three Practitioners in Biguo Town

On November 21, 2005, when practitioner Ms. Su Meiying and Ms. Yan Xuefen from Lingshang Village of Biguo Town, Zhaoyuan City went to a nearby village to clarify the truth about Falun Dafa, personnel from the "610 Office" and the town police station arrested them. At around 10:00 p.m., police sent the two practitioners to the Taishang Village Brainwashing Center in Linglong Town. On November 23, "610 Office" personnel went to Daqu Village, Biguo Town and arrested practitioner Ms. Jiang Qingzhi as she was doing housework at home.

8. [Changchun City, Jilin Province] Feng Haiying Sentenced to Seven Years of Imprisonment

On November 7, 2004, practitioner Ms. Feng Haiying from Changchun City was taken to the Shuangyang No.3 Detention Center. In late July 2005 she was put on trial at the Chaoyang District Court. In late October she was sentenced to seven years of imprisonment. She has appealed, but has not gotten any response yet.
