  • Urgent Call to Help Zhang Sanquan, Who is Near Death from Torture at the Baoding Forced Labor Camp

    Mr. Zhang Sanquan, a Falun Gong practitioner from Xiong County, Hebei Province, went to Tiananmen Square in Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong on September 22, 2004. On the same night, the county police detained him, and then tortured him for three days. Meanwhile, the police searched his home.

    Later the police began subjecting him to a torture instrument called "star over sky," which is a helmet-shaped instrument with nails inside. The abusers put it on Mr. Zhang's head, and he lost consciousness. When he awoke the next day, his head was covered with blood and had many holes caused by the nails. Later, the wounds festered and ulcerated.

    On September 25, he was transferred to the county detention center, where he suffered the second torture about ten days later. Under instructions from Deputy Chief Cui Qihua, policemen Su Shiliang and Peng Hongwei tortured him using the tiger bench torture. He was chained to an iron chair for three days and nights until he fainted. The torture caused him to suffer from high blood pressure and have a heart attack. With extreme pain in his legs, he could hardly walk. One month later, he was sentenced to three years of forced labor. Mr. Zhang has since been jailed in Baoding Forced Labor Camp.

    In the forced labor camp, his health condition went from bad to worse. Recently he couldn't eat anything. Because he was so weak, his family members went to the camp to ask for his medical parole, which the camp authorities refused to grant. The camp claimed that the family had to ask the county government for his release.

    Ms. Yue Qiuyu Was 7-Months Pregnant When She Was Forced to Have an Abortion at the Wulapo Labor Camp, Her Current Whereabouts Are Unknown

    Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Yue Qiuyu from Xinjiang was illegally detained in Wulapo Labor Camp in 2000, where the authorities forcefully aborted her 7-month pregnancy. Ms. Yue suffered immense mental shock as a result. Additionally, the guards physically tortured her to an extreme extent. After serving her sentence, Yue Qiuyu returned home, but the wicked perpetrators still harassed and persecuted her. She was forced to leave home to avoid further persecution. Now, no one knows her whereabouts.

    Another Xinjiang practitioner, Ms. Zhong Qiao, was very steadfast in practicing Falun Gong. The Wulapo Labor Camp tortured Zhong Qiao extensively. Ms. Zhong was physically and mentally tortured for long periods of time and finally reached her limit. After serving her sentence, Zhong Qiao was released. Ms. Zhong is an orphan and therefore, had nowhere to go. Zhong Qiao's hands were disabled during the persecution, so she cannot work. Ms. Zhong has been moving from place to place for more than 3 years trying to avoid further persecution. As of this writing, no one knows Zhong Qiao's whereabouts.


    Son Arrested and Sentenced to Forced Labor While Visiting His Detained Father

    Mr. Chu Liwen, from Taibaozhuang Town, Changyi City, Weifang, Shandong Province, was illegally arrested in 2003 because he firmly cultivated and practiced Falun Gong. He was transferred to several lockups in the Weifang area, and was later illegally sentenced to five years in prison. He is now being detained in Weibei Prison. On the morning of March 30, 2005, when Mr. Chu's son, Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Chu Qinghua and his younger sister went to Weibei Prison to visit their father, he was arrested and sent to the local police station. Chu Qinghua was secretly sentenced to forced labor for two and a half years and is now detained in Wangcun Forced Labor Camp.

    In Weibei Prison, Mr. Chu Liwen suffered from inhuman torture. Four to five prison guards simultaneously used electric batons to shock him, and handcuffed and kicked him. In addition, they used iron bars to clamp together both of his legs. He was tortured this way for more than two months, such that his body was disfigured in several places and he became unable to walk. Mr. Chu eventually had to be carried out of the torture chamber by the guards.

    More than six months passed before his son Chu Qinghua got this news. Chu Qinghua firmly requested to visit his father many times. After going through numerous levels of government departments, he was finally allowed to see his father in the winter of 2004. His father was emaciated and frail, and his voice quavered when he spoke. After a short ten-minute meeting, Chu Qinghua was forced to leave.

    On the morning of March 30, 2005, Chu Qinghua and his younger sister went to Weibei Prison to visit their father again. On this occasion they did not need to go through any formalities and the prison guards did not make things difficult for either of them - they were promptly granted access to their father. After the ten-minute meeting, both the brother and the sister were ready to leave; however, in order to stall for time, the prison guards asked them to stay a while. Neither of them realized this was a trap, so they stayed longer.

    After the meeting, both of them got up to leave. A prison guard stopped them and said they had some matters to discuss with them. They entered a room and were immediately held by 4 to 5 prison guards. They were taken to the local police station that same day.

    At the police station, both the brother and sister were locked up separately in small rooms. There they were interrogated and cruelly beaten. Because the younger sister did not practice Falun Gong, she was released in the afternoon. Chu Qinghua was sent to a forced labor camp for two and a half years, and is now detained at the Wangcun Forced Labor Camp.


    Witnessing the Brutal Persecution at the Xinhua Labor Camp in Sichuan Province

    I witnessed the brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners at the Xinhua Labor Camp in Sichuan Province. Below are some of the facts I remember.

    1. Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Li Zexing and two other unknown practitioners were tortured to death. One of them was tortured to death at the labor camp hospital on the first floor (Room 103).

    2. The labor camp guards used ropes to bind practitioners and high-voltage electric batons to beat Falun Gong practitioners Mr. Liu Yongsheng, Mr. Liu Guoxing, Mr. Deng Hai, and Mr. Wang Jun, among others. These practitioners were unable to eat due to severe injuries to their mouths caused by the electric shocks. The marks on their bodies caused by being bound haven't gone away, even after a year.

    3. In the latter half of 2001, approximately one hundred practitioners were forced to do squats in the classroom. Falun Gong practitioner Fan Haidong was temporally paralyzed because he was forced to squat for so long, and he spent more than 20 days recovering in the hospital. Luo Yangsheng nearly lost consciousness in the classroom.

    4. The police conducted meetings to insult Falun Gong practitioners. Falun Gong practitioner Tian Xu was tortured with strangulation and smothering by "personal cangues" [a cangue is an instrument of torture, and the term is now used to describe people who are used to control the behavior of a practitioner with force] because he said "Falun Dafa is good" in a meeting.

    5. The police ordered criminal inmates to verbally abuse, beat and punish Falun Gong practitioners. They forced the criminals to torture practitioners by means of deducting points, forcing them to write self-criticisms, and threats of transferring them out of the production team. They applied extreme pressure to these criminal inmates level by level, and used a so-called "emergency team" to brutally persecute practitioners.

    6. The police used the guardhouse to isolate Falun Gong practitioners. Each practitioner was encaged in a separate room and wasn't allowed to speak. Even to be allowed take a walk, one would have to ask the "personal cangues" team leader. He would have to grant his permission, and then one would be watched by at least three "personal cangues." Practitioners were not allowed to go to the cafeteria, gather together, move about freely, or go to the restroom without permission. They were always under the personal cangues' watchful eyes, even when they went to the restroom. (The "personal cangues" went through special training; gangsters, drug addicts, hooligans, swindlers and thieves composed the "personal cangues" team.)

    7. Guards and cangues at the labor camp illegally punished the practitioners, forcing them to endure the "sitting board." In this torture the practitioners were seated and tied to a small stool, and forced to face the wall and sit at attention in the military manner. The practitioners weren't allowed to go to the restroom or close their eyes. If the practitioner failed to sit in the required manner, the guards would beat him, kneeing and punching him in the midsection and soft tissues. Some Falun Gong practitioners' eyes were swollen, and their mouths and faces were badly injured. The police also forced the practitioners who wouldn't compromise their belief in Falun Gong to stand at attention. This torture could go on from 30 days to a few months. The practitioners' legs would become so swollen that they couldn't even walk.

    8. The team leaders that participated in beating Falun Gong practitioners include Wang Heping, Xie Facai, Dai Jun, Sun Lechang, Wang Wen, Ye Yong, and Lai Cha, among others.

    9. The police officers that participated in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners include Fan Fusheng, Zhang Xiaogang, Fu Weidong, Li Changzhong, Deng Gang, and Deng Tao, among others. Especially, Li Changzhong, who is the head of the First Team of the Fourth Unit. His brutal actions pleased officials at higher levels, and he was promoted to instructor, specializing in persecuting Falun Gong.


    Four Falun Gong Practitioners in Hubei, Inner Mongolia and Liaoning Province Died Due to Persecution

    Mr. Hu Guoyan was a 72-year-old Falun Gong practitioner from Hubei Province. He obtained the Fa in the fall of 1998. After starting  practice, his mind and body improved dramatically. He easily gave up smoking, something he had been unable to do for several decades. His body grew stronger and stronger. Mr. Hu's character transformed from sullen silence due to being treated unjustly and suffering persecution throughout the course of numerous past political movements, to becoming a joyful and light-hearted man. Mr. Hu's entire family was overjoyed with the changes in him. On July 20, 1999, the Chinese Communist Party launched its systematic persecution of Falun Gong and Falun Gong practitioners. The elderly man was unable to escape the persecution. His family went to the Provincial Capital to appeal for the Falun Gong. After going home, they suffered persecution. Local officials often came to their door to harass, threaten and intimidate them. They demanded food and drink from the family during these episodes, and treated them in cruel and demeaning ways. Mr. Hu suffered under the enormous psychological pressure. His daughter was illegally imprisoned, and suffered persecution through brainwashing. The illiterate elderly man couldn't find anyone to help him, and lost his practice environment. His mind and body began to degenerate rapidly, and he passed away in July 2001.

    Ms. Xia Jingxiu was a 70-year-old resident of Sidaowan, Aohan Flag, Chifeng City in Inner Mongolia. Ms. Xia began to practice Falun Gong in November 1998. After she had practiced for one month, her diabetes, hypertension and various other illnesses disappeared. From then on, she always followed Truth, Compassion and Forbearance in daily life. Not only did she obtain good health, but her mind was also purified. In July 2003, officials from the 610 Office in Aohan Flag named Chifeng and Wang Huashuang (who was the head of Sidaowanzi Police Station), in concert with other local authorities, conducted a brainwashing class to persecute the elderly woman. They didn't allow her to practice. Ms. Xia then suffered a relapse of her illnesses, and became unable to take care of herself. She died of her illnesses on April 27, 2005.

    Ms.Jiang Xueying, a Falun Gong practitioner in Liaoning, once had many diseases. After she practiced Falun Gong, her illnesses disappeared without medical treatment. After July 20, 1999, the local police and officials repeatedly harassed and threatened her family. Her body and mind were horribly damaged. She suffered a relapse and died of illness on November 8, 2004.

    Ms.Wang Baozhong, a 60-year-old resident of Luushunkou District in Liaoning Province, obtained the Fa in 1996. After July 20, 1999, because the local police from the sub-district office continuously went to her house to harass her, she died of illnesses brought on by the huge psychological pressure in August 2002 .


    Ten Elderly Falun Gong Practitioners Who Passed Away Due to the Persecution

    Ms. Ye Yuzhen, a 65-year-old practitioner from Fuyang City, Zhejiang Province, had terminal lung cancer before she started practicing Falun Gong. She regained her health after she began to practice. On July 20, 1999, the vicious persecution of Falun Gong practitioners began in China. In 2000, Ye Yuzhen went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Gong. She was taken back to her hometown by the local police and was illegally detained for half a month. Later, she was transferred to the brainwashing center and was forced to attend brainwashing sessions. Since then, Ms. Ye was under constant surveillance and subjected to the threats and harassment from the government officials. She wasn't allowed to practice the Falun Gong. Because of this, Ye Yuzhen suffered a relapse of her former illness and passed away in January 2005.

    Practitioner Ms. Liu Santuan, from Luoyang City, Henan Province, was in her 60s. After she started to practice Falun Gong in 1997, all her old illnesses, including diabetes, were gone. Since the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners began on July 20, 1999, she was constantly harassed and threatened by the local police and members of her work unit. She suffered a relapse of her illnesses and passed away in 2004.

    Sixty-three-year-old practitioner Ms. Ma Yunhua was from Zhangdazhuang Village, Meichang Township, Wuqing District, Tianjin City. She started practicing Falun Gong in 1998 and benefited a lot from it both physically and mentally. She was in good health. After the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners began, Ms. Ma went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. She was unlawfully arrested and detained three times, and her home was illegally searched. Ms. Ma suffered severe physical and psychological torment and passed away in May 2004.

    Ms. Wang Yuzhan was a 64-year-old practitioner from Nanyang City, Henan Province. She was persecuted for a long time because she practiced Falun Gong. She suffered physical and psychological torment and passed away on May 14, 2005.

In 2001, his daughter, also a practitioner, was illegally arrested and sentenced to 4 years in prison. Since then, Wang Hongtu was often harassed and threatened by the local police. Additionally, he missed his daughter. He passed away on May 12, 2004.

    Mr. Chen Yulin was a 77-year-old practitioner from Chengde City, Hebei Province. He started to practice Falun Gong in 1998 and regained his health. All of his old illnesses disappeared.

    Seventy-one-year-old practitioner Ms. Liu Shuqin was from Xinglong County, Hebei Province. After she started to practice Falun Gong, all her illnesses went away. After the persecution began, she lost her practice environment. On January 17, 2005, Ms. Liu passed away from a sudden brain hemorrhage.

    Ms. Zhang Shulan was a 64-year-old practitioner from Xinglong County, Hebei Province. She started to practice Falun Gong in 1998. Her illnesses, including heart disease and inflammation of the gallbladder, all vanished. On July 20, 1999, Ms. Zhang went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. After she returned home, she was harassed and threatened by officers from the Xinglong County National Security Group. In 2003, Ms. Zhang suffered a relapse of her previous illnesses and passed away.

    Practitioner Mr. Xiang Ziji was a 65-year-old retiree from the Anjiang Textile Factory in Hunan Province. He started to practice Falun Gong in 1997. His relatives were persecuted for practicing Falun Gong. Additionally, he himself was often harassed by government officials. He lived in constant terror and passed away in June 2002.

    Brief News from China - June 2, 2005


    1. [Handan City, Hebei Province] The 610 Office Again Sentenced Ms. Qi Shuchun to a Forced Labor Camp

    In February, the police from the Liulinqiao Police Station, Handan City arrested Ms. Qi Shuchun using residential registration as the excuse. After they tortured her, Ms. Qi became very weak. She could not walk by herself, and displayed symptoms of severe tuberculosis. She was sent to the First and the Second Detention Center of Handan City. After the Shijiazhuang Forced Labor Camp refused to admit her, the police from the 610 Office forcibly detained her in the First Detention Center of Handan City. On April 22, 2005, not long after she was detained there, the First Detention Center, fearing responsibility in case of her death, returned her to the Liulinqiao Police Station. The Liulinqiao Police Station confined Ms. Qi in a metal cage that was less than two meters wide. Six persons taking turns watched her 24 hours a day.

    2. Persecution Details of a Seventy-Year-Old Woman Practitioner's Family in Zhuhai City

    Ms. Zhao Juanjuan is in her 70's and lives in Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province. She formerly suffered from stomach disease and high blood pressure. After cultivating Falun Gong, she became healthy and energetic. In order to avoid being persecuted, she left her home, and went to live in Guangzhou City. She was arrested in Guangzhou City in May 2004. She was detained in the Minfu Hotel in Zhuhai City for eleven months. The brainwashing of Ms. Zhao failed. The vicious authorities tried to send her to another brainwashing center in Guangzhou, but her blood pressure was too high, and the center was afraid to accept her. She was released in April or May of 2005. Her daughter, Lu Jianwen, is an English teacher employed by the Doumen Forth Elementary School. She was sentenced to two years of forced labor and was forced under pressure to give up her belief in Falun Gong during her time at the labor camp.
