    The Communist regime in China is currently searching out and arresting Falun Gong practitioners. According to various sources, this arrest campaign is nationwide and is specifically targeting Falun Gong practitioners. This is the most widespread persecution since July 20, 1999, and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is again displaying its evildoing nature before the world. We learned that recently numerous police officers have been arresting practitioners and ransacking their homes in Beijing, Tianjin, Liaoning Province, Hebei Province, Jilin Province, Hunan Province, Sichuan Province, Henan Province and Heilongjiang Province.

    Several Practitioners were Arrested in the Haidian District, Beijing

    Practitioner Mr. Wang and his son from Century-City in the Haidian District, Beijing were arrested on April 14, 2005.

    Practitioner Ms. Ma, a middle-aged woman who lived in Liaogongzhuang, the Haidian District, was arrested in late February 2005.

    Practitioner Ms. Liu Junling and her sister Ms. Liu Junping, who lived in Jushan Village, the Haidian District, were arrested in March 2005.

    Around April 6, 2005, officers from the Wenquan Police Station arrested practitioner Ms. Deng, about 60 years of age, from the Shuiju Neighborhood in the Yiyang Mountain, Wenquan Township, the Haidian District, at her home. The police found many VCDs in her home. The details await further investigation.

    Two banners expressing slander about Falun Gong were hung next to the front office of the neighborhood community center.

    The Police Arrested Several Practitioners in the Jinnan District, Tianjin

    At around 11:00 a.m. on April 15, 2005, officers from the Xianshuigu Police Station arrested practitioners Tian Yuqin, Chen Jifang, Zheng Yongfeng, Zheng Junlan and his wife, and Zhan Huiyan and her husband from Xianshuigu Town, the Jinnan District. The police officers confiscated computer(s), Falun Gong books and materials, and other things.

    In the past few days, the police followed practitioners they thought were important; then they broke into their homes and arrested them. They ransacked the practitioners' homes to collect so-called evidence. They have arrested about eight practitioners, but the details await further investigation. It was heard that the arrested practitioners have been transferred to other areas.

    These arrests have caused severe disruption in efforts to appeal for  Falun Gong in the Jinnan District.

    I Am Still Alive -- Told By a Practitioner Recently Released From Masanjia Forced Labor Camp

    My name is Xu Qingyan. I was recently released from the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. The Mansanjia Forced Labor Camp is just one of the concentration camps where Falun Gong practitioners are being persecuted. I am still alive, although I was near death. I want to solemnly declare here that I am innocent, and not guilty of any charges leveled against me. I have been persecuted for my beliefs. I'd like to tell everyone all that I experienced in the forced labor camp during the past year.


    A photograph of Xu Qingyan prior to her imprisonment

    The inhuman and brutal treatment and tortures that I suffered during the year in the labor camp made me realize that the so-called rule-by-law society in Communist China is nothing but a smoke screen and fraud. I have come to know the true nature of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its principles of "falsehood, wickedness, combativeness, violence and deceit." Masanjia Forced Labor Camp is also called Masanjia Intellectual Training School, to fool the world about the nature of the camp. To tell the truth, Masanjia Forced Labor Camp is just like hell on earth. Inside the camp, Falun Gong practitioners are being persecuted through a number of torture methods. Yet, the guards employed in the camp live in constant fear of being exposed, and fear that their inhuman treatment of practitioners will be in revealed.

    I started to practice Falun Gong in 1997, and I became much healthier and benefited greatly physically and mentally from the practice. After the persecution started, just because of practicing Falun Gong, I was unlawfully arrested, and sentenced to forced labor a number of times. Moreover, my house has been ransacked many times. I suffered brutal tortures, and almost lost my life due to the persecution. Only a short time ago, I became comatose at Masanjia Forced Labor Camp due to the persecution. My very life hung by a thin thread. The camp guards were afraid that I might die while in the camp, and therefore, they quickly sent me home.

    On the night of February 2, 2004, armed police officers Cai Yong, Zhang Wenxin and a few others from the Daxue Public Security Station of Taihe District, Jinzhou City, illegally ransacked my house, and arrested and detained me in the Jinzhou City First Detention Center. At the end of the month, I was illegally sentenced to three years of forced labor without any legal process. I was then sent to the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp.

    The staff at Masanjia Forced Labor Camp have been trained to brutally and inhumanly torture Falun Gong practitioners. They are expert torturers. When I first arrived at the camp, they tied me to a bed for several hours. Then, they tried very hard to open my mouth. As a result, my lower front teeth became loose. Those perpetrating this torture included Cao Hongying from Yi County, Zhao Xiujuan from Fuxin County, Lu Huimin from Dalian City and several others. After they successfully pried my mouth open, they stuffed onions into my mouth. They wanted to keep me from talking. They also wrapped my mouth with a piece of towel. Another time, a former practitioner named Yu Shimin from Lingyuan County (who had given up the practice under brainwashing and torture) slapped my left ear so hard that I lost my hearing in that ear and have not regained it.

    One day, camp guards Zhang Xiurong, Da Yuhong and Yang Xiaofeng and others rushed into my cell and handcuffed both my hands to the bed. Then, they wrapped my mouth with duct tape and left me alone in the cell. I felt nauseated, short of breath and lost consciousness. I was kneeling with my left knee on the ground and my head touched the ground. After I woke up, I realized that my entire body was in a sweat and my face was as white as a piece of white paper. I was tied up in this position for several days. During each subsequent day, I was allowed to eat and go to the rest room only around 8 p.m..

    One day in June, camp guard Yang Xiaofeng, and someone with the surname of Li forcefully dragged me to a mental hospital. Yang was bent on intensifying the persecution against me. These guards had planned to lock me inside the mental hospital and use drugs to torture me. I shouted loudly: "Falun Dafa is good, Falun Gong practitioners are innocent!" I just kept "clarifying the truth" to everyone I met and told people how I had been persecuted by the wicked camp guards. The two camp guards failed to lock me up in the mental hospital. They had to take me back to the forced labor camp. These guards tried to get money from me after I returned to the camp. That night, I was handcuffed for the entire night.

    The next morning, I was dragged into a tiny cell. There are a total of nine tiny cells, which are located on the fourth floor of a camp building. Each tiny cell is only large enough to place two twin beds together. Four of the nine tiny cells are practically airtight, without ventilation. It is very hard to breathe inside such cells. A loudspeaker had been installed inside each cell, through which they continuously broadcast damaging high-decibel noises, such as the high-pitched sounds from a broken radio or record player. One's health will be severely damaged after being exposed to such noises. One practitioner named Wang Jinfeng vomited blood after being locked in a tiny cell for three days. Another practitioner, Mi Yanli, had a heart attack after being locked in a tiny cell. Both of these practitioners had to be rushed to the emergency room in the camp hospital, their lives hanging in the balance.

    In order to protest the brutal persecutions in the camp, a practitioner named Zhu Yun went on a hunger strike that lasted for a whole year. Another practitioner, Xie Dewen, also went on a hunger strike that lasted for seven or eight months. Around January of 2004, both practitioners were thrown into the tiny cells and they were locked in there for more than three months. The floors of the tiny cells where they had been imprisoned were covered with bloodstains. Such stains were strong evidence of the force-feeding the two practitioners were subjected to by the cruel camp guards. At one time, practitioner Xie Dewen was forced to sit on a so-called tiger bench, injuring his buttocks, which festered as a result. I was once tied up in a straight position in a completely blocked tiny cell, and was not allowed to sleep for 24 hours. Even when my menstrual blood flowed on the floor, no one helped me clean up. I was also forced to sit on a tiger bench for 20 days. After I was released from the tiger bench, camp guard Yang Xiaofeng sneered at me: "Ok, now you must have been comfortable, look at your feet, they are as swollen as pig's feet."

    On the first day of September 2004, guards Zhang Xiuyin and Yang Xiaofeng handcuffed me to a rack in a storage room. I was kept in that position for nine days and nine nights. They didn't allow me to sleep. I was forced to stand continuously with my arms stretched out at my sides. Consequently, my feet became swollen and were covered with blisters. Other perpetrators during this torture included Jiang Chunxiang from Dandong County and Li Junying from Jinzhou City. I no longer could walk normally afterwards.

    On the first day of December 2004, camp guards Zhang Xiurong and Zhang Zhuohui beat and kicked me severely. After that, they threw me into a tiny cell that was freezing cold, like an icicle. I was locked in the cell for several days. After I was finally released from the cell, all my joints began to hurt excruciatingly. I don't have the words to explain the pain I suffered. It became difficult for me to walk. Even after one month, I still needed people to help me walk.

    On the first day of January 2005, camp guards from the No. 2 Cellblock began even stricter monitoring procedures on more than 30 steadfast practitioners. All these practitioners were kept isolated from the outside world. At that time, all the practitioners began to protest against this persecution and they all went on a hunger strike. In February, I was again locked inside a tiny cell. As a result, I passed blood from my rectum, a condition which lasted for more than 40 days. No one took care of me.

    On the first day of April 2005, the camp decided to impose strict rules on all 144 practitioners who refused to renounce Falun Gong. These practitioners were allowed to eat only black corn buns, were not allowed to take showers or wash their clothes, and all basic human rights were taken away. All practitioners again went on a hunger strike, to protest such treatment. One day, completely unexpected, some seven or eight camp guards rushed into the cellblock and immediately immobilized several practitioners, holding them to the ground. They then placed a plastic bag around the practitioners' heads and began to beat them with police batons. The whole building was immediately filled with unbearable screams. Practitioners Wang Jinfeng, Dong Jingzhe, Qiu Li and some others were almost suffocated during this abuse.

    Practitioner Dong Jingzhe went on a hunger strike for around two months in protest. Her legs were paralyzed as a result of the persecution. She no longer could take care of herself. Another practitioner, Song Lianyin, had her legs injured because of forced intravenous injections. She had difficulty walking and couldn't sit on the toilet. It is quite clear that the camp guards had injected the practitioners with unknown, toxic drugs. Many of the practitioners who had been given such injections suffered from paralyzed legs. Furthermore, many practitioners were rushed to the hospital for emergency care after they received the injections.

    As further abuse, the forced labor camp extended the term for many practitioners. Some of the extensions went beyond more than half a year. Practitioner Zhong Shujuan had been detained more than two months beyond her release date and she was locked in a tiny cell several times. On April 25 of 2005, camp guard Zhang Huan dragged Zhong Shujuan outside and beat her severely. On the first day of December 2002, when the camp was carrying out an intensive campaign against Falun Gong practitioners, Zhong Shujuan was beaten so severely that her nose bled for more than 40 days. The perpetrators in that incident included Li Junyin from Jinzhou City and Zhao Xiuquan from Fuxin County. The depraved people also stripped off Ms. Zhong's shirt and wrote slanderous remarks against Falun Gong and the Teacher on her body. Zhong Shujuan was not allowed to sleep, day and night.

    On April 25, 2005, another practitioner with the name of Qiu Li was dragged outside and physically abused. At that time, Qiu Li had already been on hunger strike for more than 20 days. That same day, practitioners Xie Yulan and Wang Jinfeng were also beaten severely by camp guards. Consequently, these two practitioners developed dizziness and nausea and had to be hospitalized. Practitioner Xia Yulan who was already 57 years old went on a hunger strike for more than half a month. Throughout her hunger strike, the camp guards' force-fed her daily. Another practitioner with the name of Meng Guiqiu lost two of her lower front teeth when camp guards tried to pry her mouth open for force-feeding. On April 2, 2005, guard Su Jing handcuffed Meng Guiqiu to a heater pipe (this officer was since given an award of 50,000 yuan by the public security department).

    On the morning of April 17, 2005, camp guard Xie took me to the reception room and began to beat me. He shouted at me: "I just want to beat you." Afterwards, he handcuffed me to a heater pipe and I had to stand there for a long time. I became deaf after the beating. The upper and lower wisdom teeth on my right side became loose, my heart began to ache excruciatingly and I lost consciousness for a long period of time. My clothes became wet from a cold sweat and I no longer could stand up. I had to squat down. The more I tried to pull my hands from the handcuffs, the tighter the handcuffs became. I didn't know how long I was unconscious. After I woke up, I tried to stand up. But, as soon as I almost stood straight, I lost my eyesight and fell down, with my head hitting a nearby office desk. I lost consciousness once more. When I woke up for the second time, I noticed that camp guard Li Mingyu had come into the room. She had come to interrogate me. I refused to sign any documents and Li stood up to kick me. She then duct-taped my mouth and yelled at me: "Who asked you to clarify the truth to me." After that, I was not given any food, nor allowed to go to the restroom for 14 hours. Around noon, I requested to go to the restroom. Prison guard Liu Jing simply refused my request. I finally was taken from this room at 10 p.m. The pain in my back and legs was excruciating. I could barely stand such pain. That night, I couldn't close my eyes or sleep a wink the entire night. I developed unbearable pain in my lower abdomen, as I was not allowed to use the toilet for 14 hours straight.

    Around April 19 or 20 (I can't remember the exact date as my mind was not clear after being severely beaten), my life was ebbing away. The depraved camp guards were afraid that I might die inside the camp, so therefore they sent me to the camp hospital. The hospital diagnosis was that I had five tumors; the diameter of the largest tumor was around 12 centimeters and the smaller ones were around 5 to 6 centimeters, respectively.

    On April 24, 2005, I was barely breathing. At 10 a.m., I was rushed again to the emergency room. After I returned to the camp, camp guard Xie took me to the reception room again and threatened me, "Ok, I know you were telling everyone in the hospital that I beat you. Let me tell you, if you continue to do that, I will continue to beat you. See, if you have the power, go ahead and sue me." His attitude was contemptible.

    On April 26 of 2005 at 6:30 a.m., the camp sent me back to my home as I had taken a turn for the worse and was barely breathing. My stomach was so swollen, as if I were 6 months pregnant. My face was swollen, and two thirds of my hair had turned gray. Around 5 a.m. the day that I was sent back home, I clearly heard camp guard Xie's shouting about beating someone. Several practitioners were dragged outside and beaten severely by a group of male guards.

    Inside the so-called "Masanjia Intellectual Training School," horrible persecution is being perpetrated daily, without letting up! We call upon all the kind people worldwide to stand up against such atrocities. We should no longer let all those CCP-educated guards use their abusive power, which lets them kill people with such ease. We also strongly urge the UN's human rights organizations, all the governments worldwide and all kind people to speak up and stop the persecution! This continued inhuman torture and killing of Falun Gong practitioners in China must be brought to an end immediately. At the same time, we also ask all practitioners worldwide to send forth powerful righteous thoughts to eliminate and destroy the wicked Masanjia Forced Labor Camp!

    Ms. He Xiuping from Dingxing County, Hebei Province Suffers a Mental Collapse as a Result of Persecution

    Ms. He Xiuping from Dingxing County, Hebei Province was sent to Liyuzhuang Brainwashing Center for persecution in July 2003. There she suffered a mental collapse and fell into a stupor within a month's time. Currently she has not been able to recover and cannot take care of herself.

    Ms. He Xiuping, 49 years old, is from Jiushi Village, Gaoili Township, Dingxing County. After 1999 she was arrested, detained, sent to labor camp, and fined by the police in Gaoili Township because she persisted in cultivating Falun Gong steadfastly.

    On August 7, 2003, Zhang Qiuhua, Liu Guihua, and several police from the 610 Office forced He Xiuping into a car at her home and sent her to Liyuzhuang Brainwashing Center.

    There, in spite of the torture that the police inflicted upon her, she still clarified the truth about Falun Gong to them, but the police refused to listen. So He Xiuping sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil elements controlling the policemen. The police burned her leg with a piece of heated charcoal, and she lost consciousness on the spot from the pain. The police poured cold water on her and brought her back to consciousness. Then they continued to torture her.

    She was tortured this way repeatedly. As a result, she fell into a stupor within a month and lost control of her bowels and bladder. Even so, the police still tried to extort money from her family, but her family refused to pay them off. Finally, they had to send her to the hospital and informed her family to pick her up. Currently she is still unable to take care of herself and remains in a stupor.
