Falun Gong practitioner Mr. He Yuanhui from Liaoyuan City, Jilin Province, was illegally sentenced to 10 years in prison in October 2002. He was tormented so harshly while detained in the Second Prison of Jilin Province that he became critically ill and looked like a skeleton. After Mr. He was sent home from the prison hospital, he was mentally disoriented and he would often forget to dress or eat, and he eventually died on June 25, 2005.

Mr. He Yuanhui, 41 years old, was formerly an alcoholic and without a regular occupation prior to becoming a Falun Gong practitioner in 1997. After he began practicing Falun Gong, he underwent a huge mind and body transformation and began holding himself to a higher moral standard. Mr. He went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong several times after the Chinese Communist Government started to suppress and persecute Falun Gong on July 20, 1999. Once, he escaped persecution by jumping off a fast moving train. He was persistent in practicing Falun Gong and was diligent in clarifying the truth about Falun Gong and in saving sentient beings.

On May 20, 2002, He Yuanhui was arrested by officers from the Xiangyang 610 Office. He was tortured brutally and lost a tooth when Luan Yuqin, the officer from the local National Security Office, kicked him with the heel of his shoe. In October of the same year, Mr. He was illegally sentenced to 10 years in prison and was transferred to the Second Prison in Jilin. The prison guards encouraged other prisoners to use extreme measures to get him to denounce his belief in Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance. To this end, they beat He Yuanhui severely, breaking many of his ribs and causing him to be confined to bed. Just like many others who were illegally imprisoned, Mr. He was not able to obtain proper medical treatment when he contracted tuberculosis. His condition worsened, and he lost a lot of weight before he was transferred from the prison hospital to the Jilin Railroad Hospital for a month. The authorities didn't release him until his condition turned critical. However, while in prison he was still forced to write the "Guarantee Statements."

Mr. He was sent home on December 17, 2004, but his condition kept getting worse. He seemed to have lost his sense of self, and wouldn't eat or dress himself. He coughed all day long, lost weight, and could no longer practice Falun Gong. He died on June 25, 2005.

Tiantian has spent her childhood missing her parents. Her mother, Mrs. Xu Hongmei, was once again sent to a forced labor camp for a three-year term in April 2002. She has served her term, but is still being detained in Qiqihar City Forced Labor Camp in Heilongjiang Province. Soon after, her father Sun Weimin was arrested and detained in Tailai Prison in Qiqihar City.

On July 20, 1999, Mrs. Xu Hongmei went with other Falun Gong practitioners to Qiqihar City Hall to let the government know how they benefited from practicing Falun Gong. Twenty minutes later, they were all in police vans. The practitioners were then taken to different primary schools and detained. Mrs. Xu later went to the appeals office in Beijing to tell them how she and others benefited from the practice. Minutes after she arrived at the appeals office, she was taken away by officials from her home province stationed in Beijing.

They escorted Mrs. Xu back home to be detained at the No. 2 Custody Center. Mrs. Xu was then sent to Shuanghe Forced Labor Camp of Qiqihar City (now called Qiqihar City Forced Labor Camp), without proper charges, for a year and a half. Her daughter Tiantian was eight months old at the time.

In order to pressure Mrs. Xu into giving up Falun Gong, the authorities used deceptive measures. They brought her mother and her daughter Tiantian to the camp. They dressed Tiantian in rugs and exhorted Mrs. Xu to change her mind. Mrs. Xu wanted to hold her daughter, but policewomen Wang Mei and Wang Yan took the baby away. Mrs. Xu was told that if she wanted to hold her daughter, she would have to follow their instructions and sign papers stating that she would give up Falun Gong.

Mrs. Xu Hongmei's parents cried and tried to persuade her to agree. They were deceived by the lies of the communist regime. She told her parents through her tears, "I hope you can understand me. I am learning to be a better person, not to curse back when cursed or fight back when being beaten. I have done nothing wrong." She also seriously told the policewomen, "Don't you take advantage of the kindness of my parents. Neither my parents nor I will give in. You cannot possibly make me renounce Falun Gong."

Policewoman Wang Mei took Xu Hongmei back to the cell. Her parents and daughter were not allowed to see her any more. The rules in the forced labor camp stated that families were not allowed to visit those who do not agree to give up Falun Gong.

At the forced labor camp, Mrs. Xu was subjected to inhuman tortures. She was detained in a small confinement cell, forced to sit on an iron chair for long periods of time, and made to wear torture instruments. In 2001, officials of the provincial forced labor camp administration office went to the labor camp to see how many practitioners had been "transformed" into renouncing Falun Gong. They put the practitioners together and slandered Falun Gong and its founder. Mrs. Xu and several other practitioners shouted, "Practitioners, please awaken. Falun Dafa is wonderful!" They were dragged out of the room and severely tortured. Later, they were sent to the No. 2 Custody Center in Qiqihar City to await sentencing.

In the custody center, Mrs. Xu followed the requirements of Falun Gong. All the inmates in the cell were moved by her words and behavior. Through her, they saw the beauty of Falun Gong. The inmates said that practitioners were all very good people. They truly experienced the wonder of Falun Gong.

Xu Hongmei was detained in the No. 2 Custody Center for nearly four months before she was transferred to the Qiqihar No. 1 Custody Center. During her detention, people from the Procuratorate interrogated her to collect evidence of her "crime" in order to sentence Mrs. Xu and other practitioners. However, they failed. The practitioners were released by the end of 2001. After two years, Mrs. Xu Hongmei finally saw her toddler daughter again.

In April 2002, the police departments and stations in Qiqihar City had orders to arrest practitioners and collect bonuses accordingly. The police from the Tienan Police Station in Mrs. Xu Hongmei's neighborhood took her from her home and sent her to the Custody Center to get their bonus.

Mrs. Xu was sent to serve three more years at Qiqihar City Forced Labor Camp. In May 2002, the labor camp started a new round of persecution. They forced practitioners to write the three statements to renounce Falun Gong, to promise not to practice, and to express regret for practicing. Practitioners who refused to write them were physically punished. Mrs. Xu was forced to sit on an iron chair for 15 days. She had trouble walking afterwards, but the head officer, Wang Mei, still tried to force her to write those three letters.

Mrs. Xu Hongmei's mother tried to visit her when she learned where she was. The head of the labor camp would not allow her to see Mrs. Xu and said a lot of bad things. In order to see her daughter, Mrs. Xu's mother turned to some relatives for help, and she finally got a chance to see her daughter. Mrs. Xu had much difficulty walking. Two police officers saw to it that they did not get close to each other. They feared she would tell her parents about the torture. The meeting was no more than twenty minutes long. Mrs. Xu Hongmei is still being detained although her term has expired.

Five members of Mr. Liu Yushu's six-member family practiced Falun Gong. The family resided in Tumu Village, Tumu Township, Huailai County, Hebei Province. After July 20, 1999, when the evil persecution of Falun Gong started, Liu Yushu's whole family was illegally imprisoned many times by the local government. They were monitored and put under tight surveillance. Mr. Liu was imprisoned many times at the Shalingzi Brainwashing Class in Zhangjiakou City. Because he refused to give up his belief in Falun Gong, he was also sent to one year of forced labor.

After Mr. Liu's wife returned from the brainwashing class, she was compelled to leave home and move from place to place to avoid further persecution.

The husband of Liu Yushu's eldest daughter Mrs. Liu Chaoxia was compelled to divorce her, and their three-year-old daughter was separated from her mother. Mrs. Liu Chaoxia was sentenced to forced labor twice. After she was released, she also left her hometown to avoid further persecution.

Mr. Liu Yushu's younger daughter Mrs. Liu Chaohong, also due to pressure from her husband's family, was compelled to divorce. She had no choice but to leave her four-year-old child. After Mrs. Liu Chaohong was arrested, she was sentenced to five years of imprisonment and is still incarcerated in Shijiazhuang City Prison.

Mr. Liu Yushu's son, Mr. Liu Chaohui, was fired by his work unit because he persisted in practicing Falun Gong. Simply because he tried to access Falun Gong websites, he was sentenced to seven years of imprisonment and is currently incarcerated in the Tangshan City Prison.

In this small county with a population of only 300,000, the persecution is very serious. We know that, since the persecution began on July 20, 1999, Huailai County officials have illegally sent more than 10 Falun Gong practitioners to be imprisoned; six have lost their lives in the persecution; more than 20 have been sent to forced labor camps and more than 20 to brainwashing classes; three people were compelled to leave their homes to avoid the persecution; two are missing; and four were dismissed from their jobs. These practitioners were also subjected to huge fines and their family belongings were confiscated. Falun Gong practitioners everywhere suffered persecution to varying degrees and by differing methods. The persecution has proliferated in all the villages, countywide. It is difficult to record all the persecution cases.

Responsible persons:
Li Jianju, Huailai former County CCP Committee Secretary
Li Jianhua, former County Head
Li Yingtian, former Politics and Law Committee Secretary
Xu Weiguo, former Police Department Chief

In order to further expose the crimes committed by the authorities at Jilin Prison, to allow more people to learn the facts of how the prison guards persecute Falun Gong practitioners, and to reduce the pressure on the imprisoned practitioners, on the evening of July 14, 2005, local practitioners worked together to hang up large banners at two Jilin Prison guards' residence complexes - the four apartment buildings opposite the Northeast China Institute of Electric Power Engineering, and the two buildings close to the Nonglin Street residential complexes. A more-than-3-meter-long banner read, "Heaven and earth cannot tolerate the torture of Falun Gong practitioners in Jilin Prison." Other banners were two-meters long and read, "Immediately stop the persecution of imprisoned Falun Gong practitioners." There were 200 posters with the words, "Heaven and earth cannot tolerate the Jilin Prison's use of torture to persecute good people." An announcement that the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG) is investigating wardens and guards in Jilin Prison who are responsible for persecuting practitioners, and demonstrations of the torture methods currently being used against Falun Gong practitioners in Jilin Prison were also pasted in the two residence complexes and surrounding areas.

Jilin Prison, short for "Jilin Province No. 2 Prison" is located at 100 Junmin Road, Jilin City. It is a provincial prison and has 11 sections. Each section has three subsections. Since July 20, 1999 when the persecution of Falun Gong began, the prison has held hundreds of practitioners and has carried out inhuman persecution against them. Methods of mistreatment include: establishing a strict surveillance team, locking practitioners in small cells, stretching practitioners' legs and arms while strapped to a bed, inciting criminal inmates to violently torture practitioners, grasping practitioners' private parts, surveillance 24 hour a day, and brutal force feeding. Jilin Prison authorities issued an order to perform the force-feeding as violently as one could and if practitioners die from it, their deaths are attributed to natural causes. Currently, five practitioners, including Liu Chenjun, Zhang Jianhua, Xui Weidong, Wei Xiushan and He Yuanhui are known to have been tortured to death in Jilin Prison.

In order to cover up their crimes, the prison authorities continue persecuting steadfast practitioners and do not allow their family members to meet with them. The authorities are afraid of being further exposed.

Shi Wenzhuo from Jiutai, Jilin Province who was illegally imprisoned had been tortured on the death bed during the process of forced brainwashing. The prison guards even incited collaborators including Bai Ye, Yan Feng, and Wu Qingdong to tie him up and beat him. Guard Li Yongsheng also beat him. The guards ordered criminal inmates to beat practitioner Shi Guohon, and as a result, Mr. Shi became disabled. On March 12, 2005, criminal inmates in the Third Section handcuffed practitioner Zhou Liansheng and violently beat him. Guard Chen Xi also joined the beating. Later, they transferred Zhou Liansheng to Tiebei Prison in Changchun. Practitioner Zhang Hongwei in the Tenth Section has been locked in a small cell for two years since he was imprisoned in Jilin Prison.

In December 2003, WOIPFG conducted an investigation into the case of Mr. Liu Chenjun, who was tortured to death in Jilin Prison. The head of the prison, Li Qiang, Commissar Liu Changjiang, and a number of guards, including Wang Yufan, Zhang Jing, Tan Fuhua, Liu Wei, Wang Jiangkong, Pang Hongjun, Zhang Guilin, Li Yongsheng, and Lin Zhibin are the chief criminals who are responsible for the death of Liu Chengjun. They are also the major murderers who manipulate and participate in the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. In addition, local practitioners have been using different ways to expose the evildoings in Jilin Prison. As a result, the guards have shown a little restraint in the persecution, although their means of persecution have become more concealed. The guards incite and manipulate criminal inmates and collaborators to persecute practitioners.

Late one evening before the 2002 Mid-Autumn Festival, four police officers broke into the home of Mr. Lu Yongchang with shovels in their hands. Mr. Lu Yongchang, a Falun Gong practitioner, lived in the Fourth Section of Dayuan Village, Qingyang Township, Jiutai City. Three of his family members were able to escape undetected. Ms. Lu Guixia also managed to escape from the authorities after being illegally detained at the police sub-station. Mr. Lu's family eventually became homeless and destitute in order to avoid direct persecution. On June 8, 2004 they were illegally arrested. On February 2, 2005, Mr. Lu, aged 69, was accused of "disruptive behavior" and illegally sentenced to one year in prison. Mrs. Song Xiuqin, aged 67, was sentenced to three and a half years' imprisonment. Mr. Lu Xianjie, aged 42, got five years and Ms. Lu Guixia, aged 32, was sentenced to four years in prison.

As part of the illegal verdict (No. 320) handed down by the People's Court in Jiutai City, Jilin Province, the court record stated: "After hearing the evidence, it's found that the defendants Lu Xianjie, Lu Yongchang, Lu Guixia and Song Xiuqin used metal rods and axes to strike Zhang Dongfang, Wu Yunju, Zhang Zeguang and Zhang Wei, police officers from the Qingyang Police Sub-Station in Jiutai City, while they carried out their duties at the defendants' house at 12 a.m. on September 17, 2002."

Without addressing each and every inconsistency in the court's statement, several obvious fabrications should be addressed: when the officers Zhang Dongfang, Wu Yunju, Zhang Zeguang and Zhang Wei were supposed to have carried out their duties according to the law, it was well after 9 p.m., when most farmers have already gone to sleep, so how could the defendants have been ready to attack the police? The statement said, "The testimony of Zhang Dongfang, Wu Yunju, Zhang Zeguang and Zhang Wei show that on the evening of September 17, 2002 they went to Lu Xianjie's house to check on Falun Gong practitioners according to a previous arrangement." Yet none of these policemen showed up in court, and the written testimonies of these four policemen were not consistent with each other.

Is there any personal freedom and security in China for Falun Gong practitioners? As arranged by officials from the Jiutai City Police Station, policemen stormed into the residences of local citizens in the middle of the night. The practitioners have been systematically pursued and subjected to illegal arrests by these so-called government officials for several years as a matter of routine. Besides being illegally detained and sentenced, the practitioners have also been forced to attend a "Legal Education Program." Upon hearing the term "Education Class," many of those who've been through the "Cultural Revolution" tremble with fear. This "Education Class" has nothing to do with legal education; it is instead intended to make attendees renounce Falun Gong by utilizing force and torture.

The following is a description of what really happened at Lu Yongchang's home at 12 a.m. on September 17, 2002.

Around 9 p.m., the whole family went to bed. The flashing lights of a police car woke Lu Guixia up. There was a loud noise as the door was pried open, then the police broke into the house, carrying shovels. Lu Guixia didn't know what was going on and jumped out a window. She was knocked to the ground by police officers that were hiding there. Several policemen beat her savagely and dragged her to a waiting police car. She was taken to the police substation in Jiutai City, where officers were posted to guard her and the other three members of the Lu family. On the way, an officer made a phone call while sitting on Lu Guxia. The officer contacted other policemen, instructing them to go and get the other three members of the Lu family. The police chained Lu Guixia to an air duct at the sub-station, and then went back to the Lu home to get the rest of the family. They had all managed to escape undetected, however, and the police failed to arrest them. The officers were very angry when they returned to the police sub-station, and they beat Lu Guixia so cruelly that she was disfigured and lost her hearing, which she still hasn't recovered. Later, Lu Guixia also managed escape under cover of night.

The Lu family became destitute and homeless fugitives and only made enough money to survive by performing hard physical labor. Their possessions were stolen, and their house fell into disrepair for lack of regular maintenance over the next few years. The roof leaked, the yard was full of weeds, and those who passed by looked away sadly. For several years, local government officials and police officers repeatedly persecuted all four members of the Lu family

Before the police came to arrest the family, they had often gone to their home to harass them. Song Xiuqin and Lu Guixia were illegally sentenced to one year of forced labor because they went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Gong. Lu Yongchang's 1.2 acre field was taken from him by force and assigned to someone else for three years by the Dayuan Village Committee of Qingyang Township; the land was later sold for 4,000 yuan, which was embezzled by the police.

In 2004, along with the National Security Team at Jiutai City, the police arrested all four members of the Lu family from the residential area of Fenjin Township, Kuancheng District, Changchun City. They were illegally held at the detention center in Jiutai City. The authorities stole 3,400 yuan, a cell phone, and a tape recorder from them.

I am a Falun Gong practitioner in my 60s from Liaoyuan City, Jilin Province. From December 15, 2003 to February 20, 2004, I was detained and persecuted by Liaoyuan City policewomen for 68 days. The following is an account of how policewoman Luan Yuqin and her accomplices brutally persecuted me.

In the afternoon of December 15, 2003, Xiancheng Police, Lioayuan City searched and ransacked my home and took me to Xiancheng Police Station. Officer Luan Yuqin, who is from the National Security Team of the Liaoyuan City Public Security Bureau, was in charge of my case. That same evening, Luan and her team took me to the office of the city's National Security Team. There, they interrogated and tortured me.

Luan ordered her team to first handcuff and shackle me, and then demanded to know where the truth-clarifying materials came from. For a half-hour I didn't respond to anything they said. Luan then kicked me in the chest and lower back and beat me with such force that I couldn't breathe. I nearly fell to the ground from her kicks. She continued to demand that I tell them where the materials came from. I still remained silent for an hour or so.

The policewomen then used cigarette smoke to torture me. Luan lit two cigarettes and put them into my nostrils. I have never smoked in my life. The smoke was unbearable. Half an hour later, the smoke made my nose run and my eyes water, but I still did not say a word. This situation lasted well into past midnight and Luan went to sleep.

A different group of policewomen came on duty. I kept silent as usual. They slapped my face whenever I closed my eyes, and if I kept them closed, they poured water over my face. Not only did they deprive me of any sleep, but they forbade me to use the toilet the whole night.

The next day, Luan applied a different torture. She covered my head with a plastic bag and placed a blue plastic bucket over my head. She then continuously beat the plastic bucket over my head with a 60mm long (about 20 inches) wooden baton for a whole morning. She didn't stop beating until she broke the bucket. I remained silent as before. After lunchtime, Luan ordered her group to bring a steel bucket and fill it with books. She told them to hang the bucket from my neck. The book-filled bucket weighed about 10 kilos (22 lbs). They forced me to carry it around my neck the entire afternoon. The steel handle of the bucket, which was as thick as a chopstick, left a deep mark on my neck as thick as a thumb. They didn't take it off until 8:00 that evening.

On December 17, Luan said that if I still refused to say where the materials came from, they would put me in the unheated garage downstairs, pour cold water over me and let me freeze to death. I responded with a smile. In the face of Falun Gong disciples' indestructible faith, the evil people are no match, no matter how brutal their persecution is.

The next day, Luan sent me to Liaoyuan Detention Center. On December 28, 2003, I was sentenced to two years in the Provincial Women's Labor Camp. The doctor at the labor camp refused to accept me, as I failed the physical check-up. They sent me back to Liaoyuan Detention Center.

Luan at first refused to accept this. But through my repeated explanations, she finally sent me home on February 20, 2004.

From December 15, 2003 to February 20, 2004, I was persecuted at Liaoyuan Detention Center, for a total of 68 days.

On the night of June 21, 2005, practitioner Mr. Wang Chengyi, from Qingdao City went out to distribute truth-clarification materials. He did not return home. It has now been confirmed by Mr. Wang's family that he has been arrested, but no more detailed information is yet available.

Practitioner Ms. Li Guijuan , 36 years old, is a teacher at the Helu Elementary School in Weifang City, Shandong Province. Ms. Li had previously been diagnosed with numerous diseases, all of which disappeared after she started practicing Falun Gong. During the period when the Chinese government began its persecution of Falun Gong in 1999, Ms. Li distributed a great deal of truth-clarification materials. As a result, she was arrested and detained in a variety of places, including her school, the local detention center and the 610 Office. Ms. Li was forced to write the so-called Three Statements, and was physically tortured to the point of receiving serious injuries as a result. Recently, when Ms. Li tried to clarify the truth to her students, the Public Security Agency was tipped off by the parents of certain of her students. For this, Ms. Li was detained first in the brainwashing center of the local 610 Office, and later, without either following due legal process or sending a notice to her family, the 610 Office sent Ms. Li to the Wangcun Forced Labor Camp. When Ms. Li's husband tried to visit her in the forced labor camp, prison officials refused to let him see his wife; he had to leave after just leaving some clothes for her.

Around 5:50 p.m. on June 8, 2005, police officers Du and Zhang from the Zhaoyang Public Security Station broke into and ransacked the homes of practitioners Wang Xiuyan and Lu Qingshan. The two police officers took away many Falun Gong items and arrested Wang Xiuyan. Practitioner Lu Qingshan escaped arrest with help from kind-hearted people. Practitioner Wang Xiuyan is currently being held at the Dehui City Detention Center. Since her arrest, Wang Xiuyan has been on a hunger strike to protest the persecution.

At approximately 4:00 p.m. on June 20, 2005, practitioner Liang Qinghua from Erdaojiang District of Tonghua City, Jilin Province, was taken from his home by local community official Zhang Junfen, police officers Pi Jinzhong and Li Hui, and staff from the local Public Security Station. Over the subsequent two days, practitioners Sun Lixia, Sun Ailan and a practitioner surnamed Qu were also arrested, and their houses were also ransacked.

Falun Gong practitioner Mrs. Sun Guorong from Aohanqi, Inner Mongolia, was arrested on June 30, 2005. She is currently being detained at the Hedong Legal School Education Base, a brainwashing center, in Aohanqi.

In 2002, Mrs. Sun Guorong and her husband Jiang Zhili were each sentenced to three years of imprisonment for allowing fellow practitioner Ji Xiaodong to stay at their home. Their elderly mother, over 60 years old, had to take care of their 13-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son for more than two years. They depended on their relatives and friends for financial assistance.

In August 2004, after both husband and wife had served their terms, Jiang Zhili was transferred directly to the Hedong Legal School Brainwashing Center and detained for more than ten days. Mrs. Sun was also sent to the brainwashing center in October 2004. Both suffered hard labor and persecution in the labor camp. Later, they maintained their livelihood by selling snacks.

Mrs. Sun Guorong was arrested again, and their snack bar almost went out of business. They are currently in dire straits.

2. [Hulutao, Liaoning Province] Ms. Dong Guixia Critically Ill and Sent to the Police Hospital

On March 11, 2005, secret agents from Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province, arrested Hulutao City, Liaoning Province, residents and Falun Gong practitioners Ms. Dong Guixia and Hu Baochun. Since then, Ms. Dong has been on a hunger strike to protest the unlawful arrest. She was sent to Qinhuangdao Police Hospital on March 13.

In early June, after being on a hunger strike for three months, Ms. Dong was transferred to Old Cadre Hospital in Tangshan City, Hebei Province. Before she left Qinhuangdao Police Hospital, an exam showed that she was in critical condition.

Secret agents from the Qinhuangdao and Hebei Province Security Ministry participated in the persecution.

Ms. Xia Yulan from Shenyang firmly practiced Falun Gong while detained at Masanjia Forced Labor Camp. As a result, her term was extended for another two months.

Instead, the Railway Bureau, the Railway Professional School and the Huanggu District 610 Office sent her to the provincial brainwashing center for 20 days of persecution.

Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Wang Xingyou is a retired employee of the Zhengzhou City Science Association in Henan Province. At around 4 p.m. on June 20, 2005, people from the Zhengzhou City 610 Office, the local police station, the residents' committee, and his workplace abducted him from his home.

At the intersection of Huancheng Road and Qingnian Road, they were discovered by a police patrol car. Ms. Zhao was arrested by the police while the practitioner escaped.

In the detention center, Ms. Zhao was inhumanly tortured and beaten until she became unconscious. The police would then pour cold water on her to wake her up. Still, she did not tell the police anything. Although several months have passed since her arrest, the police still have not released her.

On the night of June 3, 2005, policemen from Antu County and the National Protection Unit rushed into and searched Mr. Yang Jianhua's home in Sandao Village, Sandao Township, Songjiang Town, Antu County.

Mr. Zhu Junhui, 43 years old, is from the Weishui District in Jingxing County, Hebei Province. He was a former military officer of vice battalion rank. A month after he started to practice Falun Gong, the army's internal persecution of Falun Gong began. Mr. Zhu was sent to a mental hospital, injected with harmful drugs, and suffered intense brainwashing by the army.

Around 2002, Mr. Zhu was compelled to change careers and later worked at the Water Administration Station near Changgang, a subdivision of Jingxing County People's Irrigation Ditch Administrative Office. He is a hard worker, and all of his colleagues have mentioned that he is a good person.

On June 7, 2005, Mr. Zhu publicly withdrew from the Chinese Communist Party and refused to attend any party meetings. His workplace deceived him with the excuse of "helping the manager to harvest wheat," and forcibly took him to Shijiazhuang Brainwashing Center in Hebei.

At first, his workplace claimed that Mr. Zhu Junhui had gone home to harvest wheat, although it was after the harvest season. Then they lied to his family, saying that he went outside to study. At the moment, his family is very worried because they do not know where he is.
