The Facts of the Persecution of Falun Gong  -- December 25, 2005

Issued by Clearwisdom Net

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Zhang Yuzhi, 48 years old, lived in Erdaobaihe Town, Antu County, Yanbian Korean Ethnic Autonomous Region, Jilin Province. On February 4, 2002, she was illegally arrested from her home by police and detained in the Huizuizi Labor Camp in Changchun City. She was forced to work in a toxic environment for 16 hours per day. The surrounding air was viscous and contained many cancer-causing materials. Ms. Zhang worked with an adhesive substance that emitted strong, irritating smells. She was tortured psychologically by brainwashing. Under the dual pressure, she contracted leukemia. The camp did not allow her family to take her home until she could no longer take care of herself. Ms. Zhang went home on August 31, 2002 and passed away two weeks later.

In August 2002, in order to make money by exporting bird crafts, the Huizuizi Labor Camp applied a solution to dye the feathers. The dyed feathers were placed in the hallway for drying. The special solution was poisonous and emitted a strong, odd smell, which spread throughout the whole building and made people feel dizzy, have headaches, and even vomit. Several days later, about a hundred people were poisoned. Many of them suffered from dysentery and had a continuous fever of 104ºF. However, the camp doctors shouted: "No shot below 101.3ºF!"

Under former president Jiang Zemin's regime's evil persecution policies of "ruin their reputations, bankrupt them financially, and destroy them physically," and, "killing is to be treated as suicide," the Falun Gong practitioners detained in the Heizuizi Labor Camp are tortured both mentally and physically. The camp also inhumanly enslaves practitioners with extended working hours and increased work intensity.

Mr. Xuan Huaiji is a Falun Gong practitioner from Xiaoshuiquan Village, Yimatu Township. At around midnight on October 11, 2005, about eight police officers broke into his home and illegally arrested him without any documents. Xuan was not even fully dressed before they dragged him away, and the front door was damaged in the process. The perpetrators included Zhang Guisuo (Captain of the State Security Unit of Chongli County Police Department, Zhangjiakou City) and Song Cunbin (Director of Yimatu Township Police Station).

The next day when Xuan's wife went to the village head to ask for his whereabouts, she was told that Xuan had been sent to Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp.

Mr. Xuan has been on hunger strike protesting his arrest since he arrived at Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp. It has been over 50 days and his life is currently in danger.

On December 6, 2005, the Minghui/Clearwisdom website reported the news of six Falun Gong practitioners from Panjin City in Liaoning Province being arrested, held, and tortured in the newly built Panjin City Detention Center. Based upon the local news, five of the practitioners, Ms. Su Yan, Ms. Liu Shaoman (in her sixties, a retired elementary school teacher), Ms. Xie Dong, Ms. Wu Xuehui, and Ms. Zhou Yanhong have already been secretly sent to the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp.

These practitioners have been protesting the arrest by staging a hunger strike ever since they were illegally arrested on November 22, 2005. Their physical conditions are very weak. However, the authorities still took them to the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp. Each of the practitioners was illegally sentenced to one or two years of forced labor. Ms. Su Yan was sentenced to two years, while the other four practitioners were sentenced to one year of forced labor. Disabled Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Zhang Guorong was tortured until she was vomiting blood. She was held for four days and illegally sentenced to one year of forced labor before she was released for medical treatment.

Below is additional information about other illegally detained Falun Gong practitioners from Panjin City:

Practitioner Mr. Zhang Tinghuan from the Liaohe River Oil Field Petrochemical Company is being held in Panjin City. More detailed information awaits further investigation.

Practitioner Mr. Guo Yulong from Panjin City was arrested and illegally held in the Shenxin Forced Labor Camp located in the Yuhong District of Shenyang City. He was sentenced to one year of forced labor. Mr. Guo and his family's appeal has been ignored, and they have nowhere else to appeal. The Chinese Communist Party Political and Judicial Department of Shenyang City and the Forced Labor Committee in Liaoning Province have rejected the case under the excuse of "cases related to Falun Gong cannot be re-opened."

Practitioner Mr. Gao Dong, who worked as an engineer at the Zhenxing Company, is about forty years old. In August and September of 2005, Mr. Gao was again taken to the Luotaishanzhuang Brainwashing Center to be tortured. He was tied up and handcuffed onto a bed, where he was force-fed and given injections for over three months. Since November 1999, in the past six years, Mr. Gao Dong has spent most of his time in detention centers, forced labor camps (in Panjin City and Benxi City), brainwashing centers (in Fushun City) and psychiatric hospitals, where he has been tortured in a variety of ways. Currently, he is being illegally held in the Fushan City Brainwashing Center. Mr. Gao was initially held in the Liaohe River Oil Field Detention Center and later was taken to the Panjin City Forced Labor Camp. At the end of 2002, because of an extended hunger strike, Mr. Gao was tortured to the brink of death before he was released. Shortly afterwards, he was taken to the Luotaishanzhuang Brainwashing Center of Fushun City and later again taken to the Benxi City Forced Labor Camp. At the end of 2003, Mr. Gao was tortured until he lost consciousness and was no longer able to take care of himself. Later, he was sent to the psychiatric hospital, where he is still being tortured.

We call for all people in the world to extend your helping hand to rescue these practitioners.

Police officers from the Tumen City Patrol Police Division, the National Security Division and from the 110 Emergency Response Team in Jilin Province illegally arrested Falun Gong practitioners Liu Tiejun and his wife Wang Hui on the street. They detained the two practitioners, and then broke the lock on the door of the practitioners' home and ransacked it. They took valuables and 10,000 yuan cash, and later extorted 3,000 yuan from the practitioners' family. The following are the details.

Around noon on October 20, 2005, Liu Tiejun and Wang Hui were walking on the street when Li Chengwu and Guang Xijun from the Patrol Police Division drove by in a car. They saw the two practitioners, pulled up to them and tried to arrest them.

A crowd gathered and watched as the two practitioners reasoned with the police. Guan Xijun called the 110 Emergency Response Team and the National Security Division. Soon, a group of police officers arrived. Two officers tried to force Wang Hui into a police car. Wang Hui clung to the door. She refused to get in and shouted, "You are violating the law by arresting innocent people! Falun Dafa is good! It's a crime to arrest innocent Falun Gong practitioners! Falun Gong has suffered an injustice!"

An officer asked a woman for Wang Hui's home address. The woman gave it to him. The police then went to Wang Hui's home. They broke the lock and barged inside. They took 10,000 yuan cash, the TV, VCD, an electric fan, mobile phone(s), computers, and other items.

Wang Hui and Liu Tiejun were taken to the Patrol Police Division and then to the National Security Division, where they were interrogated for a whole night. The next morning, Wang Yuansheng, political head of the National Security Division, interrogated Liu Tiejun and asked how much money he had at home. Lu Wenzhe, head of the National Security Division, phoned his subordinate and said in Korean, "Beat him up and then see if he'll tell you." A while later, Wang Yuansheng came back and said, "Liu Tiejun said, 'There is no money, even if you beat me to death.'"

While interrogating Wang Hui, police officer Yan Mingzhe said, "Lu Wenzhe has sentenced you to one month of detention. You will be sent to Huichun Detention Center." Liu Tiejun and Wang Hui were held at Huichun Detention Center for three days and were then transferred to the Tumen Detention Center.

At the Tumen Detention Center, Wang Hui demanded an unconditional release and went on a hunger strike. On the seventh day, head of the detention center Jin and doctor Piao Yingyu took Wang Hui to the Railroad Hospital to force-feed her. They handcuffed and shackled Wang Hui in the hallway of the detention center before leaving for the hospital.

The hospital didn't have a feeding tube. Doctor Piao Yingyu found a nasal-feeding tube, and the nurse inserted the tube into Wang Hui's nose. Jin, head of detention center said in a vicious manner, "If she doesn't obey us, we'll torture her by inserting the tube the 'hard' way."

The nurse inserted the tube through the nose and left it in Wang Hui's stomach. Wang Hui was taken back to the detention center with the tube still inserted. In the afternoon, Piao Yingyu ordered two inmates to force-feed Wang Hui. He ordered them to pin her down, fill a syringe with corn gruel and insert it into the feeding tube. The two inmates feared punishment by the guards and fed Wang Hui when the guards ordered them to.

The eighth day of force-feeding was the most painful for Wang Hui. Between 11:00 p.m. and midnight on November 3, a violent thunderstorm cut off the electric supply at the detention center, enshrouding it in darkness.

On November 21, Quan Wuxuan, Yan Mingzhe and Zhou Hong from the National Security Division released Wang Hui on parole. They extorted 13,000 yuan from her for "bail," which includes the 10,000 yuan they took from Wang Hui's home. They originally tried to extort an additional 10,000 yuan from Wang Hui's family, but they couldn't afford it, so her family gave 3,000 yuan to the police. The police only gave them a sheet of paper stamped with the National Security Division seal instead of an official receipt. The police didn't tell Wang Hui's family that they took 10,000 yuan from Wang Hui's home. After she was released, the police told Wang Hui that the bail was 13,000 yuan. Liu Tiejun is still being held at the Tumen City Detention Center.

Mr. Li Zhi was in his 30s and lived in Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province. After he started cultivating Falun Gong in 1997, his mind and body were all purified, he became healthy, and his family became peaceful. On July 20, 1999, the slander and persecution of Falun Gong began. Mr. Li went to Beijing to clarify the truth on November 11, 2000. He was arrested, and detained in the Mentougou Detention Center for one day, then taken back to Daqing City on November 13, 2000. He was later detained for 15 days in the Ranghu Street Detention Center and then confined in the Sa'ertu Detention Center for two additional months.

Ms. Wei Shuguo was 78 years old and lived in Xiyangtai Village, Shenzhou City, Hebei Province. She started practicing Falun Gong in 1996 and went to Beijing with her granddaughter to appeal for justice and clarify the truth after the persecution started on July 20, 1999. On the evening of March 1, 2001, officers from the Shenzhou City Police Department ransacked her home, and arrested her son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter. Her family members were brutally abused and beaten at the police department and the detention center. The police also arrested practitioner Mr. Ke Xingguo, an employee of the Central Ministry of Agriculture in Beijing, who was hiding in their home to avoid being arrested in Beijing. Mr. Ke Xingguo was very cruelly beaten, detained in the Shenzhou City Detention Center, and later sentenced to 10 years in prison. He is still being held in the Fourth Hebei Province Prison. Ms. Wei Shuguo's son and daughter-in-law were detained for nine months. During those times, neighbors, relatives, fellow practitioners, and her teenaged grandchildren had to do the work on the family farm. The elderly Ms. Wei also had to help with the farm work herself. The stress of this period of time severely damaged her mental and physical health. In December 2001, her son was released from prison after paying 7,000 yuan in extortion fees, but her daughter-in-law was sentenced to three years in prison. Only one week later, Ms. Wei Shuguo suddenly developed severe swelling, and she died at the end of December 2001.

Ms. Chen Aiying, 72, lived in Gaozi Town, Zhenjiang City in Jiangsu Province. Before she started practicing Falun Gong, Ms. Chen suffered a stroke, and she was living a difficult daily life and could not even take care of herself. In 1996, Ms. Chen started practicing Falun Gong. By practicing Falun Gong, she totally recovered from her illness and could also help with housework. In March 2000, she was detained for one month because she went to Beijing to appeal on behalf of Falun Gong. In the New Year of 2001, she was illegally detained again for six months because she went to Beijing to appeal. In July 2003, when Ms. Chen was sending forth righteous thoughts, she was reported to the police. The police officers started chasing her. Ms. Chen unfortunately fell and became paralyzed. Her condition gradually worsened over time, and she passed away on June 23, 2005.

Later Mr. Wang was illegally detained for one month. After he returned home, police officers constantly went to his house to harass him. Mr. Wang's mind was severely disturbed and his health condition worsened. Finally he passed away in July 2005.

Ms. Zhao Fengying was a farmer from the Zhao Dangbu Village, Dianzi Township, Guan County in Shandong Province. Ms. Zhao was taught Falun Gong on January 16, 1998. After she started practicing Falun Gong, her mind and body were purified and her spirit and body became healthy. Ms. Zhao lived at her daughter's house in Dongdanbu Village of Guan County. After the evil started to extensively persecute Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, Ms. Zhao's daughter and son-in-law were illegally arrested and their home ransacked numerous times. They were also fined several tens of thousands of yuan, and were illegally sentenced to forced labor and imprisonment. Ms. Zhao's son-in-law Mr. Dong Xinhai is still being tortured in the Wangcun Forced Labor Camp. Ms. Zhao Fengying's heart was greatly disturbed. Later she became frightened even when she heard the sound of a car and she lost the ability to live normally. She passed away on November 17, 2004.

Mr. Fang Shuguo, 58, lived in Shangfang Village, Mucun Town, Fangzi District of Weifang City in Shandong Province. After the persecution of Falun Gong started on July 20, 1999, Mr. Fang was severely tortured many times. He was arrested and held by police officers from the Fangzi District 610 Office for over a month in 2001 and was later released after a fine was extorted. In 2003, Mr. Fang was held and tortured again at the Changle Forced Labor Camp. Because his body exhibited the symptoms of many types of illnesses and he had high blood pressure, he was released for medical treatment. The police officers from the police station went to his house many times to harass him. In May 2004, Mr. Fang started showing the symptoms of brain blood vessel thrombosis. With help from fellow practitioners, Mr. Fang recovered and regained the ability to take care of himself. However, on July 16, 2005, the old symptoms came back and Mr. Fang passed away.

Ms. Sun Suzhi, 45, lived on Xinchengzi Street, Xinchengzi District, Shenyang City in Liaoning Province. Ms. Sun started practicing Falun Gong in early 1999. Twenty days after she started the practice, the many types of diseases and symptoms that she had suffered from disappeared. After the persecution of Falun Gong started on July 20, 1999, people from the Xinchengzi District 610 Office, Xinchengzi District Police Station, and the Xinchengzi District CCP Residential District Office went to her home many times to harass her and threaten her in order to try to force her to give up the practice. However, Ms. Sun was clear in her mind that Falun Dafa is good. Because Ms. Sun lost the environment to do group practice and due to the psychological pressure applied to her, her body started to show the symptoms of liver cirrhosis and ascites. She passed away in November 2001.

Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Tang Zhiqiang worked at the Wenxing Chemical Fiber Textile Factory in Shuangliu County, Sichuan Province. He changed from being a disabled person who could not take care of himself into a healthy and confident person after practicing Falun Gong. Because he persisted in his belief in Falun Gong, the lawless Communist Party officials illegally detained him, ransacked his home, and threatened and harassed him, which caused his health to deteriorate. Mr. Tang passed away on December 9, 2005.

Tang Zhiqiang was 40 years old, suffered from hemiplegia and could not take care of himself before he practiced Falun Gong. Soon after he obtained Falun Gong on September 20, 1996, all of his illnesses disappeared and he became healthy. People who knew him said that he changed into a different person. Many other people started practicing Falun Gong after observing the changes in him.

After the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began persecuting Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, the factory security officials often monitored Tang Zhiqiang's residence. They took his Falun Gong books away whenever they found them. Several times when he was writing Falun Gong articles from memory, the officials saw him and took him to the security section. Tang Zhiqiang clarified the truth wherever he went. With normal channels of protest and appeal denied to Falun Gong practitioners, Mr. Tang posted words clarifying the truth about Falun Gong on utility poles, walls, and at the marketplace. The perpetrators from the factory security section detained him several times, as he was identified as a main persecution target in the factory.

On March 29, 2004, the police arrested Tang Zhiqiang when he was making truth clarification materials. The police officers took turns beating, kicking and insulting him throughout the night. They sent Tang Zhiqiang to a detention center and held him there for more than five months. While going through the medical parole procedure, the officers from the police department struck him in the back at an acupressure point, which immediately caused him to lose the ability to take care of himself. He could not even open or close a door. While being held at the detention center, Tang Zhiqiang was also beaten and kicked. He was physically and mentally devastated.

After Mr. Tang was released on medical parole, lawless CCP officials still monitored his residence. They ransacked his home, threatened and harassed him, which caused his condition to quickly deteriorate. Tang Zhiqiang passed away on December 9, 2005.

Perpetrators at the Wenxing Chemical Fiber Textile Factory in Shuangliu County, Sichuan Province

1. [Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province] 68-Year-Old Ms. Wang Ruo-e Tortured by Force-Feeding

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Wang Ruo-e, 68 years old, is a retiree from the Shijiazhuang Fertilizer Plant. In the early morning of September 6, 2005, she was illegally arrested and her house was searched by the city public security branch and the Yuecai Street Police Station under the lead of the Political Advisor Tan Jun and others, because she persisted in believing in "Truthfulness - Compassion - Forbearance." On September 12, Ms. Wang was illegally detained and forced to attend the Shijiazhuang brainwashing session.

During the brainwashing session, the authorities applied various means such as denial of sleep, slander against Falun Gong and other despicable methods in order to try to force Ms. Wanag to abandon her belief. To protest this, Ms. Wang went on a hunger strike for five days. Then they tormented her by force feeding her.

Before practicing Falun Gong, Mr. Ruiyou of Huangqibao, Anqiu, Weifang City had been suffering from severe rheumatism and lung hydrops. He had been hospitalized several times, but all in vain. The very last time he had to have a tube inserted into his lungs to induce pus flow and an injection of Dolantin for the pain. In 1998, Mr. Liu started to learn Falun Gong and lived his life according to Truthfulness - Compassion - Forbearance. Pretty soon, he was free from illness and felt better physically and mentally.

After the persecution began on July 20, 1999, Mr. Liu has been illegally arrested several times, was forcibly sent to brainwashing sessions, fined heavily, and his house was illegally searched and ransacked because he practices Falun Gong.

At around 11 a.m. on October 8, 2005, Mr. Liu Ruiyou was arrested by the Anqiu 610 Office, taken to the Huangqibao Police Station and then transferred to the Anqiu Detention Center. The police confiscated Falun Gong materials, his personal computer and printer, Falun Gong truth clarification materials, and more than 2,000 yuan in cash.

In mid-September of 2002, the Kongdong District Public Security dispatched ten staff members to search Mr. Meng's house. Even though they did not find anything illegal, they still took him to the Sishilipu Police Station and interrogated him for one day and one night. Then they sent him to the Qilidian Detention Center, and three months later they sentenced him to three years in a forced labor camp. However, because of his advanced age, Mr. Meng was not admitted by the camp. They continued to keep him at the detention center and then in May 2003 transferred him to the Sishilipu Police Station.

Practitioner Mr. Wang Fulong is a resident of Mafang Village, Kongdong District. Because of his firm belief in Falun Gong, he was detained by the Pingliang City Public Security in 2000 for participating in a Falun Gong group exercise. In 2001, Mr. Wang was sent to the Gansu Province 1st Forced Labor Camp and tortured for three years. After returning home in 2003, he continued to clarify the truth and because of this, Mr. Wang was again detained for several months by the Kongdong Public Security Branch.

Another practitioner, Mr. Liu Xufui, is also a resident of the Mafang Village. He has been persisting in the cultivation practice of Falun Gong and has continued to clarify the facts about Falun Gong to other people. At the end of the year 2000, Mr. Liu was detained for a few months by the local public security bureau. In late 2003, he was again illegally arrested and sent to Gansu Province's 2nd Forced Labor Camp for three years of persecution.

After 24 hours, Ms. Tang was able to get out because of her righteous thoughts. After that, people from the police station, district office, public security police station, and her work unit would constantly come to her home in order to harass her.

Around April 20, 2005, personnel from the police station and national security police went to Ms. Tang's home and arrested her. Her child's personal computer equipment was confiscated. They sent Ms. Tang to the 2nd Detention Center for several months and then at the end of August illegally sentenced her to a three-year prison term. She is currently locked up at the Yunan Province 2nd Prison.

On November 18, 2005, practitioner Ms. Mou Xiuhua was arrested by the public security police of the Zhaoyang 610 Office while she was working at the Jianping County Hospital.

Because she clarified the facts about Falun Gong to co-workers, Ms. He Shugin was reported and detained by the Fu-an Police Station on November 2, 2005. After she was released from detention, Ms. He's whereabouts are unknown.

Retired Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Zhou Honglan, 58 years old, is the daughter-in-law of Yang Gancai, a renowned commander of the Kuoming Party's No. 29 Corp, a former hero in the war against the Japanese. Luzhou City's 610 Office agents, personnel from the National Security Bureau, from the Procuratorate and the court collaborated to persecute Zhou Honglan because she refused to give up her belief in "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance," the teachings of Falun Gong.

In April 2005, Zhou Honglan and practitioners Ms. Zhao Derong and Ms. Liang Yufeng were arrested because they posted a sign that read, "Falun Dafa is Great." They were held at the Naxi City Detention Center. In October 2005 they were sentenced to three years of imprisonment. At present, they are detained at the Women's Ward of the Southwest Prison in Jianyang City.

Between 10:00 and 11:00 a.m. on November 8, 2005, personnel from the Jilin City "610 Office" and from the National Security Bureau, together with four officers and two plainclothes agents from the local police station, arrested practitioner Ms. Xie Fengchun at her market stall. They even arrested a non-practitioner surnamed Liu, who manned a neighboring stall. They also confiscated a lot of Falun Gong materials.

Xie Fengchun, 50 years old, was an employee of the Jilin Province Mini Vehicle Factory. She follows "Truthfulness-Compassion- Forbearance" and always considers others before herself. Her colleagues and customers alike praise her, and she is widely known as a kind person. She often clarifies the truth about Falun Gong to her colleagues and customers, and because of this the police frequently harass and threaten her, and have now arrested her.

Ms. Li Xiqin and Ms. Wu Qiurong were arrested in March 2005 because they clarified the truth in a taxi from the Changning District in Shanghai. They were both sentenced to 18 months of forced labor and are presently incarcerated at the Shanghai Women's Forced Labor Camp.

Wu Qiurong was sent to another team to do heavy labor. Li Xiqin was held in solitary confinement, which is a form of abuse that is reserved for persecuting practitioners.

4. [Beijing] Cai Guijin Sentenced to Two Years of Forced Labor

Around the end of September 2005, "610 Office" agents and police ransacked the home of practitioner Mr. Cai Guijin, who is in his fifties, and confiscated many truth-clarifying materials. They arrested Mr. Cai and sent him to a forced labor camp.

During the Jiang regime's brutal suppression of Falun Gong, Cai Guijin was sentenced to four years of imprisonment in January of 2001 for posting truth-clarifying materials. Mr. Cai and his family had already led a difficult life. However, the police often persecute him, as well as his family.
