Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Fa Zhengping is a physics teacher hired by the Yangjing High School in Pudong District, Shanghai City. He was arrested recently and severely tortured. His life is in danger.
On April 6, 2005, he was arrested by a group of officers sent by the 610 Office. The officers were hiding in unmarked police cars.
A female practitioner, Chen, in her 70s, was also arrested in the building shortly afterward. The officers broke into the home of the practitioner around noon, and arrested all seven practitioners that were studying there.
Mr. Fa Zhengping suffered two years of forced labor in 2001-2003. He went through many mental and physical tortures. He was beaten until he vomited blood. He did not fully recover and was still very weak when they arrested him again. He was suddenly arrested and tortured, his life is in danger now. His blood pressure is 220 mm high, and he has fever of 103 oF. He was sent to Tilanqiao Prison Hospital for emergency treatment. He is now at Qingpu Labor Camp Hospital. The 610 Office still refuses to release him.
Ms. Wang Huilian is a young faculty member of Northeast Normal University in Changchun City, Jilin Province. In March 2004, she was illegally arrested and sentenced to one and a half years of forced labor. She was detained in the No. 4 Division of Heizuizi Women's Forced Labor Camp in Jilin Province, where Ms. Wang has resisted the persecution and refused to do forced labor. Many times she was not allowed to see her friends who had come to visit her. Time and again the labor camp brought her elderly parents from far away in an attempt to use their love to "transform" her and force her to give up her belief in Falun Gong. Now Ms. Wang is on the verge of death because of the persecution.
When she was arrested, Ms. Wang was 32 years old. She has a Masters degree and was a lecturer at the College of Urban and Environmental Science in Northeast Normal University. She worked hard in her teaching and research. Before her arrest, she had been preparing to study toward a Ph.D. In people's eyes, Ms. Wang is smart and kind, loves life, and works very hard.
On March 7, 2004, the Chaoyang District Police Department, which is under the jurisdiction of the Changchun City Police Department; the Jianshe Square Police Station; and the Northeast Normal University Security Division worked together to arrest Ms. Wang with the excuse that she had kept in touch with other Falun Gong practitioners. After two days of interrogation, the police got nothing they wanted, so they put her in criminal custody on fabricated charges.
On March 9, 2004, Ms. Wang was taken to the Changchun City No. 3 Detention Center, which is located in Sheling. In response to Ms. Wang's unjust arrest, her friends condemned the police and also exposed her arrest on the Minghui website, the Chinese version of Clearwisdom. Since then, people from all over the world keep calling the police department, asking for her release.
Nevertheless, a month later, the police sentenced Ms. Wang to forced labor. When her family members questioned the police, the person who handled her case even said, "It would be better had her story not been put on the Minghui website. But now, since her case is on Minghui, the whole world knows about it and calls us. If we had released her, would that be out of our own willingness to release her or due to the pressure from around the world?"
In early April 2004, the Chaoyang District Police Department sentenced Ms. Wang to 18 months of forced labor. She is now incarcerated in the Jilin Province's women's forced labor camp, the Changchun City Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp.
Facing the verbal abuse, violent beatings, intimidation, and torture, Ms. Wang and other practitioners still use their compassionate hearts to peacefully and repeatedly tell the guards that Falun Gong teaches people to be good, that those who persecute kind people will receive karmic retribution, and that they, in the interest of their own future, should not persecute practitioners. At the end of December 2004, Wang Zhufeng, a guard from the No. 4 Division of the labor camp, beat Ms. Wang for laughing, because the guard thought that Ms. Wang was laughing at her. The beating turned Ms. Wang's face black and blue.
On April 22, 2005, Ms. Wang started a hunger strike in protest of her illegal arrest. Since that day, the No.4 Division of the labor camp has force-fed her twice a day. On April 28, Ms. Wang was sent to Changchun City Police Hospital, where the persecution continues. When people with a sense of justice call from around the world, the authorities still try to hide the facts and deceive people by denying that Ms. Wang is on a hunger strike and that she is being force-fed. After more than 30 days of cruel force-feeding, Ms. Wang's health has severely deteriorated, and her life is now in great danger.
Ms. Wang's home is in Yingkou City, and the phone number is 86-417-2819966.

On June 14, 2005, Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Zhang Lianying from Beijing was arrested from home by Xiangheyuan Police Substation Head Wang Qing and ten policemen, leaving her one year old child behind, who she was nursing. Ms. Zhang Lianying is now detained in the Chaoyang District Detention Center.
Ms. Zhang Lianying lives in Seventh Building-2-203, Liufangnanli, Xiangheyuan, Chaoyang District. On the morning of June 14, 2005, at around 8:00 a.m., police broke open the door to her home and dragged her into a police vehicle violently. The police ransacked her home, taking two copies of the book Zhuan Falun but seemed not to find anything they were looking for.
Since July 20, 1999, Ms. Zhang Lianying has been arrested seven or eight times, but was released each time with the help of her righteous thoughts. The worst time was when she was arrested by police in Heilongjiang Province and suffered long-term detention there. She went on hunger strike for 80 days, nearly dying, and was then sent back home by police from Heilongjiang province to Xiangheyuan Substation. The local police refused to accept her since she was in critical condition, so she was left on the street. The police and 610 Office workers have been watching her closely undercover. They bugged her home phone in order to find any excuse to further harass her. Even though they arrested her on June 14, 2005 and ransacked her home, they did not find anything they wanted.

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Zhang Lianxiu was 67 years old and lived in Wangtangge, Bozhou City, Anhui Province. On May 31, 2005, she was arrested by policemen in Henan Province along with two other Falun Gong practitioners, and was beaten to death on June 2, 2005 in Shangqiu County, Henan Province. Police from Shangqiu County, Henan Province and Bozhou City, Anhui Province went to her home together on June 6, 2005, asking her son, "Does your mother have heart disease?" Her son answered, "No."
Police then asked again, "If you say your mother has heart disease, we will let her come back home." Her son answered, "Yes" after thinking about their offer for awhile. Police quickly had him sign his name on a form. After he signed his name, the police told him, "Your mother has died."
In order to cover up their crimes, police would not allow her family to see her body. When they bid farewell to her before her body was cremated, her daughter saw that her body was covered with wounds. She asked loudly, "Just because my mother practiced Falun Gong, you beat her to death?" No one dared to answer her question. Ms. Zhang Lianxiu's lips had many bloody blisters as the result of electric baton shocks. Her lower back and legs had many purple bruises. Her neck was twisted to the right at about 80 degrees, with obvious signs of injury. The Shangqiu County Police Department paid for her funeral expenses.
The condition of the other two Falun Gong practitioners who were arrested together with her is unknown.
