    Initial Investigation Report on the Death of Ms. Wang Lixuan and Her Son

    Ms. Wang Lixuan was 27 years old, held a bachelor's degree and lived in Nangou Village, Sikou Town, Xixia City, Shandong Province. Her son Meng Hao was only eight months old.

    On October 21, 2000, Ms. Wang Lixuan went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. She took her eight-month-old son Meng Hao with her, holding him in her arms. On the morning of November 7, 2000, they were arrested by police on Tiananmen Square. Because Ms. Wang Lixuan formerly worked for a company in the Yantai Development Special Region, on the afternoon of November 7, 2000, policeman Mou from the Yantai Development Region Police Station took her to the Yantai Development Region's Beijing Liaison Office located on the 18th floor of the Hua-Ao Center Building. They were in the custody of policeman Mou. Around 4 p.m., Ms. Wang Lixuan and her son plunged to their deaths from the 18th floor of that building.

    Ms. Wang Lixuan's mother Li Xiuxiang, who is also a Falun Gong practitioner, and her husband received the notice of the death of Ms. Wang and her son, and then went to Beijing to confirm their identities.

    The circumstances of Ms. Wang Lixuan's and her baby son's death have still not been properly investigated. We truly believe the truth will surface when Jiang and the CCP's propaganda campaign and information blockade come to an end. Regardless of the outcome of the investigation, Jiang and his followers can never deny their responsibility for the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners.


    Exposing the Crimes of the Brainwashing Center in Chuanying District, Jilin City to the Local People

    In May 2005, Zhang Xiaolan, the Party Secretary of Chuanying District, Jilin City, and Mr. Wang, the chairman of Chuanying District Department of Law, ordered the policemen from the Changchun Road Police Station to arrest over 10 Falun Gong practitioners. They also worked with Qu Jiang, the general manager of the Jilin Chunguang Dairy Co. Ltd, and locked the practitioners up in the company's hostel for forced brainwashing.

    The Brainwashing Center

    By May 19, 2005, over 10 Falun Gong practitioners had been arrested and sent to the hostel in Chunguang Dairy Co. Ltd for detention and forced brainwashing. They were deprived of freedom while the policemen and other staff members attempted to force them to give up Falun Gong. Two practitioners were detained in each room and monitored by two staff members.

    On the night of May 19, 2005, after they heard the news, some Falun Gong practitioners went to the neighborhood of the forced brainwashing center to collect information. Some practitioners phoned Qu Jiang, the general manager of the Chunguang Dairy Co. Ltd. They immediately exposed to the world the crimes of the brainwashing center in the Chuanying District on the Clearwisdom.net website. Meanwhile they informed many local practitioners about the detailed information they had collected. They made posters exposing the crimes of the brainwashing center and a 4-meter-long banner reading, "Stop the Persecution and Immediately Release the Illegally Detained Falun Gong Practitioners."

    Later that night, many local Falun Gong practitioners worked together and put up over 20 posters stating "Stop the Persecution and Immediately Release the Innocent People" on the front gate of the Jilin Chunguang Dairy Co. Ltd, and on the electricity poles along the roads nearby. Some other practitioners put up a long banner, which read, "Stop the Persecution and Immediately Release the Illegally Detained Falun Gong Practitioners," on the iron fence outside the brainwashing center. Practitioners who did not go worked together with them by continuously sending forth righteous thoughts.

    We ask overseas practitioners to work with us to call, fax or write to the related departments of Jilin City to clarify the truth.

    We appeal to the righteous people in the world to join us to defend what is right and stop the brutal persecution of innocent people.

    Eight Falun Gong Practitioners Died as a Result of Persecution in Heibi, Liaoning, Heilongjiang and Sichuan Provinces

    Mr. Li Maoxun, 70 years old and a retiree of the Dalian City Procuratorate in Liaoning Province, firmly cultivated Falun Gong, which resulted in a forced labor sentence and illegal incarceration at the Dalian Detention Center for a year and a half. His son and daughter were sentenced to three years of forced labor since they had appealed on behalf of Falun Gong in Beijing. The prolonged persecution and frequent attacks made Mr. Li ill. He passed away on March 31, 2005.

    Ms. Li Baogu, 73 years old, lived at Qingyuan County in Hebei Province. She started practicing Falun Gong in 1996. After the persecution began on July 20, 1999, she planned to appeal for Falun Gong in Beijing. Lawless people stopped her on her way to Beijing, brought her back and detained her in Qingyuan County. She encountered persecution and was released after having money extorted from her. Thereafter she was treated as a persecution target. She was constantly harassed with illegal house searches and had 26,000 yuan extorted from her. She died in October 2002.

    Ms. Zhang Meihua, 59 years old, lived at the Santaizi Farm in Kangping County in Liaoning Province. She began practicing Falun Gong in 1995. Since July 20, she actively worked to appeal for justice and to clarify the truth. Liu Zhaoxing, the head of the farm, went to her home and forced her to give up Falun Gong. Under the persecution of the communist regime, her old illnesses came back in December 2004. She suffered swollen legs, which did not heal and she was later treated at a hospital. She died on February 13, 2005.

    Mr. Liu Yunchen, 61 years old, lived at Dalian City in Liaoning Province. In July 1996, he was diagnosed as suffering from a swollen lumbar vertebra, which could not be cured. In October of the same year, his sister brought him Master Li's lecture videotapes and he listened to them. After the first day his headache was gone. With continued listening he was able to return to work three days later. However, after July 20, 1999, the great pressure from the government made him give up Falun Gong, and frequent harassments by the local police made Mr. Liu ill in 2003. He died on March 1, 2005.

    Mr. Guo Chunying, 66 years old and a retried teacher from Hongcheng Village Elementary School in Ningan City, Heilongjiang Province was harassed, had his home illegally searched, and was threatened on July 20, 1999. He was arrested in 2000 in Ningan City. After that, his body and mind were devastated and he suffered severe gastric disease. On May 27, 2005, the police harassed his family twice, at 2:00 p.m. and 10 p.m. Mr. Guo died at 2:00 a.m. the next day, May 28, 2005.

    Ms. Wang Xianhuai was in her 70s and a retired teacher from Yilong County, Sichuan Province. She used to be a volunteer assistant of a Falun Gong practice group before July 20, 1999. After July 20, corrupt officials searched her home and took away all the Falun Gong books and pictures of Master Li. From then on, she was frequently harassed by officials and encountered pressures from her family to give up Falun Gong. She was not allowed to leave her house and could not make any contact with other practitioners, so she was unable to get Master Li's new articles. She died in June 2004.

    Ms. Du Qunhua, 62 years old, was a retired teacher from Yilong County in Sichuan Province. She used to be a volunteer assistant of a Falun Gong practice group before July 20, 1999. After July 20, corrupt officials searched her home, took away all the Falun Gong books and pictures of Master Li and arrested her. From then on, frequent harassment from local officials caused the recurrence of her old illness that had been under control while she practiced Falun Gong. She died on December 20, 2002.

    Mr. Jiang Guangcai, about 67 years old, was a retiree of the No. 7062 Astronautics Base in the Longquan Region in Sichuan Province. After practicing Falun Gong in 1996, his diabetes was under control and he felt healthy. After July 20, under great pressure from the government, he signed statements to give up Falun Gong. The officials also forced him to participate in a brainwashing class set up by Longquan 610 Office. He then left his home and stayed with his son where he could not practice Falun Gong on a regular basis. His health deteriorated and he died on February 17, 2005.


    Four Cases of Falun Gong Practitioners Missing in Changchun, Hunan Province, and Other Places


    Mr. Wu Hongwen, a Practitioner from Changsha City, Hunan Province, Missing after Leaving Home in 2000

    Practitioner Mr. Wu Hongwen, born on November 27, 1969, was a resident of Shengwei, Hunan Province. On the evening of the 2000 New Year's Day, he went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Gong. For that the Shengwei Police Station detained Mr. Wu for 15 days at Changsha's Changqiao Detention Center. During those 15 days, he only had a few drinks of water every day to sustain his life. After being released to his home, the local police kept harassing and threatening him. They forced his parents to write a "guarantee statement" for him and they promised to monitor and control his activities. He was not allowed to go out and was ordered to write a self-criticism statement to show that he had renounced Falun Gong to be delivered after the Chinese New Year period. Mr. Wu firmly believed that Falun Gong was good so he had no choice but to leave home two days before the 2000 Chinese New Year's Day. In May or June of 2000, it was reported that he had returned to his elder uncle's home, who lived locally, to get some money. It was said that, about ten days later, Mr. Wu did mail a letter to the local police station trying to clarify the truth about Falun Gong to the police.

    2. My Leukemia Is Gone, But I Suffered Inhumane Persecution for Speaking the Truth

    My name is Wang Yulan, and I am a 50-year-old woman. I am an employee of the Foreign Trade Company of Zhucheng City, Shandong Province. Since July 20, 1999, my company has detained its employees who practice Falun Gong and forced them to write a Guarantee Statement to give up their practice of Falun Gong. In November of 1999, I went to Beijing with several other practitioners to appeal. We were arrested and detained in a prison for several days before being taken back home by Zhucheng City Police. We were beaten by the police and then transferred to a detention center.

    In February of 2000, I went to Beijing again to appeal on behalf of Falun Gong. Upon arriving at Tiananmen Square, I was arrested and sent back to a police station in Zhucheng City. Policeman Cao Jinhui used an electric baton to shock my face and then my mouth. Later at the detention center, I was locked to the iron chair, which is used only for prisoners on death row. My face was repeatedly slapped, my feet were stomped on, and some of my hair was torn out. In May 2000, I went to Beijing again with fellow practitioner Li Yuxiang. Once we arrived at the appeals office, we were arrested and sent to a Beijing police station. My company took us back to Zhucheng City and forced us to drink urine. Then we were sent to the detention center. I went on a hunger strike to protest the inhuman treatment and was force-fed through my nose until it bled.

    In November 2000, I was sentenced to three years of forced labor. I saw the police shocking fellow practitioner Ms. Chen Yuxiang with electric batons for a long time. Both sides of her face were covered in blisters. Another practitioner Ms. Shen Zhongxiang was shocked on the arm by an electric baton. She could not put any sleeve on that arm. Practitioner Ms. Guo Fang had her feet shocked so badly that she could not put on shoes for several days. My socks were stripped off, and the bottoms of my feet were shocked with four electric batons. Under this inhuman torture, I gave in against my will. Afterwards, I declared my statement under pressure to be null and void and continued to practice Falun Gong. Therefore, I was denied sleep for nine days and nights in a row. I went on a hunger strike for over a month and was force-fed many times. Once I was restrained by handcuffs during force-feeding. My hands swelled, and my whole body was covered in scabies.

    Statements of Appeal/Petition and family letter from the Harbin Women's Prison

    Practitioner Song Qing's petition statement: I am a Falun Gong practitioner. My name is Song Qing and I am being held at the No. 1 Division of the Heilongjiang Province Women's Prison. On September 11, 2002 I was transferred to the Harbin Women's Prison, where the guards hit my eyes and bruised them. Several days later, they forced a dozen practitioners, including me, to do military drills and march under the scorching sun. I passed out as a result, and when I came to, they ordered me to write a guarantee statement. I refused, and they forced me to stay under the sun. In late September 2002, I was transferred to another division and was slapped over ten times for refusing to cooperate with the perpetrators. In mid-December, I was forced to stand for a whole night and was not allowed to sleep. In mid-June 2003, we practitioners refused to do slave labor and to wear the inmate uniforms. The guards tore our clothes and humiliated us. They wrapped my head with a white cloth and beat and kicked me until I could not breathe. In December 2003, I was forced to stack stools against the wall for a whole week. On January 1, 2004 [Chinese lunar calendar], about 20 practitioners were forced to stand in the pump room for a whole night. On March 8, 2004 I was tortured with a method called "The Big Hang-up" [There are two forms in this torture: (1) With both hands cuffed behind the back and only toes touching the ground, one is hung by a rope that is tied to the metal window frames; (2) One hand of a practitioner is cuffed to one bunk bed and the other hand to another bed, and the two beds are pulled in the opposite directions. One feels extreme pain as the body is being pulled. See illustration on

    /emh/articles/2004/11/17/54624.html]. I lost consciousness and the guards put me down. After I came to, they hung me back up. In the evening of May 14, 2004, the practitioners refused to answer roll call and the guards savagely beat us. On May 15, 2004, they again tortured me with the "the Big Hang-up." The handcuffs cut into my wrists. I lost the feeling in my arms, which turned black and blue.

    Practitioner Zhu Xiangqin's letter to fellow practitioners: Right now, I am at Group 2, Division 1 of a women's prison. The practitioners here have been validating Falun Gong, opposing the persecution, clarifying the truth and offering peoples salvation. On August 30, 2002, I was stripped of my clothes on arrival and subjected to brainwashing. The guards didn't allow me to eat, have fluids or sleep. They handcuffed my hands behind my back, forced me to squat, and they punched, kicked and stomped on me. Other practitioners refused to recite the prison policies, to answer roll call and to squat. They refused to say they are inmates, and as result were detained in solitary confinement. They had their hands cuffed behind their backs, locked to shackles fixed onto the ground, and hung up and tortured with the Tiger Bench. They forbade me to eat or sleep, and often verbally abused and hit me. Practitioner Yu Xiulan at Division 2 had her hands cuffed behind her back, and was forced to squat and stand for long periods of time. Her feet were disabled from being shackled for extended periods of time. One of her wounds was three centimeters across. Her bones were exposed, yet she was still forced to stand for more than 40 days.

    Fellow practitioners at Division 8 had their hands cuffed behind their backs. They were not permitted to sleep and were hung up. Practitioner Ren Shuxian was hung up for over 20 days. She jumped off a building and broke her pelvis and legs. The inmates jabbed the practitioners with needles. Practitioners who opposed the persecution were detained in solitary confinement. They tied the practitioners up, didn't allow them to use the toilet, held their eyes open with matchsticks, inserted sticks into the practitioners' vaginas, and tortured them with "the Big Hang-up." After the practitioners passed out, the perpetrators put the practitioners down and put drugs into their mouths. After they came to, the perpetrators hung them up again. From December 1 to December 12, they used electric batons and bamboo sticks to torture the practitioners. They whipped and electrically shocked the practitioners, kicked and hit the practitioners and cuffed their hands behind their backs. They also forced the practitioners to plow the snow. The practitioners were covered with bruises. In 2004, guards at Division 1 tortured practitioner Chu Qingfen with "The Big Hang-up" many times, which caused brain damage and injuries to her back.

    Practitioner Zhu Xiangqin's letter to her husband: consult a lawyer and show him my letter about the persecution against me. File a lawsuit against Wang Xing, Liu Zhiqiang, Cong, heads of the Harbin Women's Prison; Yang Hua and Zhao Xiling, officials of Division 2; Zheng Jie, head of Division 8; Cui Hongmei and Xia Fengying, heads of Division 1. My life is constantly in danger here. Right now I'm being watched around the clock. In February 2003, guards Yu Yubo, Sun Qiuxia and Zhang Xuan stomped on my back so severely that I could not lie flat afterwards. I could not bend my back or sit. Inmates Yan Yaxia and Meng Xia hit me with bamboo sticks until my whole body turned black and blue. An egg-sized bump formed on one of my legs and I have no feeling in my thighs. My family came to visit me, and they refused to leave until they saw me in person. The perpetrators are afraid because they know that they are violating the law.

    In 2000, practitioner Wang Bin in Daqing City was tortured to death. His family and other practitioners filed a lawsuit against Feng Xi, the official on duty, as well as three inmates. The plaintiffs won and received 200,000 Yuan in compensation. The five perpetrators were sentenced to 18 years, 12 years, 5 years and 3 years in prison.
