Falun Gong practitioners Mr. Xiao Zhixiang and Mr. Lin Jia, both 65 years old and from Xiangtan City, Hunan Province, were sentenced to three and half years in prison by the Yuhu District Court of Xiangtan City. They are being held in Xiangtan City Detention Center together with three other practitioners.

Practitioner Mr. Lin Jia has been unyielding in his practice of . He has been held in the detention center since the end of last year because he was clarifying the truth among the students.

Practitioner Mr. Xiao Zhixiang was abducted by officials from the Xiangtan City 610 Office and the Yuhu Police Department State Security Division on January 18, 2005, when he was grocery shopping. On May 31, 2005, Yuhu District Court sentenced Mr. Xiao Zhixiang to three and half years in prison based on the following:

"From August 12-27, 2003, Mr. Xiao Zhixiang gave VCDs entitled Persecution of Falun Gong on Tiananmen Square, Witnesses, and Truth to Mr. Lu Jinlian and Mr. Huang Jingxin. After his release from the Chishan Prison when his three-year term ended, Mr. Xiao Zhixiang wrote letters appealing on behalf of Falun Gong from February to June 2004. He posted the letters to his employer and to the City Management Bureau. This must be viewed as 'attacking the government.' At his March 2004 school reunion, when his old classmates asked him how he kept himself so young and healthy, he told them the truth, that he practices Falun Gong. Again, he is guilty of spreading words about Falun Gong."

Mr. Xiao Zhixiang has appealed to the Middle Court and is seeking a lawyer to represent him.

Mr. Wang Wei, 36 years old, is a dentist at the First People's Hospital in Nanyang City, Henan Province. In 2001, as a result of appealing for Falun Gong, he was illegally detained for one week.

In the past few years, the Nanyang City 610 Office and the hospital's director have often harassed Mr. Wang. Wang Wei clarified the truth to them, and told them of Falun Gong's ability to heal illnesses and maintain fitness. He also told them how a patient forced one thousand yuan that should have been paid to the hospital into his hands, and then walked off. Mr. Wang immediately gave the one thousand yuan to the hospital. If he was not a practitioner of  and did not follow the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" he certainly would have pocketed the money.

Even so, on June 15, 2005, Nanyang City First People's Hospital Party secretary Liu Kai tried to force Mr. Wang to write a "guarantee statement" saying he would never practice Falun Gong again. If he did not write it, he would be sent to a brainwashing class. Liu said that this was a directive from higher authorities. Mr. Wang stood firm and would not write it. At the time, Mr. Wang was on the job, but Liu Kai, in front of the patients, called in hospital security officers to take Mr. Wang away to a brainwashing class. When he arrived there, Mr. Wang realized that he was the only person in the brainwashing class. This persecution against a Falun Gong practitioner was done by the hospital just to placate higher authorities.

The persecution of Falun Gong practitioners is worse in Shandong Province than in almost any other province in China. I have personally witnessed and experienced the brutal persecution of practitioners at detention centers, prisons and forced labor camps in Shandong Province. The following are brief descriptions of the persecution methods I know of and experienced.

Since July 20, 1999, the officials in Shandong Province have been frantically arresting Falun Gong practitioners, especially on and near sensitive dates. For example, more than several hundred police officers were dispatched at once time in a small city of Jining to arrest practitioners. With an order from the local Political and Judiciary Committee, the police from the 610 Office, city public security bureau, district police departments, surrounding township police departments, various sub-bureaus and police stations were all involved. They set up traps, used surveillance, or simply went to practitioners' workplaces or homes to arrest them. With every arrest, the police officers involved received both recognition and financial rewards.

First, it was announced that an officer would get a bonus of 1,000 yuan for every practitioner he or she arrested.

Second, once the practitioner is arrested, the police have an excuse to search the victim's home. The purpose of the search is financial gain. Sometimes, several police officers search a home without a warrant. They take money as well as anything with monetary value. Usually they close the door so no one can see what they are doing. Items they normally confiscate include radios, cell phones, stereos, computers, etc. They also take the bankbooks of every member of the family.

Third, the police can also fine the practitioner's employee. Each time a practitioner is arrested, the fine is usually 10,000 yuan. When the practitioner returns to work, the workplace deducts the fine from his or her salary. Some practitioners cannot pay back the workplace even after returning to work for two years. Some practitioners are fired or laid off after their workplace is fined. If a practitioner's workplace has good revenue, the police intentionally arrest the practitioner many times to get more money.

Finally, the police notify the practitioner's family to bring money for that practitioner's release. According to each family's financial situation, the police demand from 5,000 up to 20,000 yuan. They do not issue any receipts, and the money is privately divided among the police. Although the director of the police department knows this is going on, he quietly approves of it so that more practitioners can be arrested. The police lie to illegally send practitioners to labor camps. They intentionally don't tell the family members so that they will be worried. The Political and Security Unit of the Middle District of Jining City has received many awards for its sinister and vicious persecution of Falun Gong.

1. Concealment of Actual Working Conditions

The average workday in the labor camps is around 10 hours a day. Inmates, however, often work until midnight, so one may work as long as 15 to 16 hours a day. The prison guards fear being exposed, so they force inmates to work in the basements instead of the workshops above ground. Working hours are long, the lights are dim, and the air quality is terrible. The products made in prisons and labor camps are not taxed. No outsider is allowed to investigate the real situation. Whenever there are visitors, the police conceal the illegal workstations and set up large, open workshops above ground. This way, visitors don't see the real working conditions.

2. Poor Work Environment

The work environments in the labor camps are horrible. The labor camps do not care about the safety or health of practitioners. When I was detained at Jinan Women's Forced Labor Camp, I saw one building house 800 inmates even though it only had the capacity to house 200. It was a five-story building with a total living space less than 500 square meters. There were over a dozen detainees to each 10-square-meter room. When all the bunk beds were taken, some had to sleep on the floor under the beds. Usually, newly arrived practitioners had to sleep under the bed. The filthy air made it difficult to breathe. During the day, we worked in the basement under the police offices. There is no ventilation system in the basement, and it is packed with cardboard boxes and all types of pencils. The total area is less than 300 square meters. With hundreds of detainees working in the basement, there is not enough space for everyone and no one can move around. No one is allowed to talk. Everyone is allowed to use the restroom only twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. Even then, people still need to take a number and wait to use the restroom. If someone had to use the restroom again, someone else would miss her turn. Consequently, practitioners did not dare to drink a lot of water even with their meals and no matter how hot the weather was.

3. Working with Toxic Materials without Any Protection

The products made in prisons usually take a lot of time and effort to make. For example, at Jinan Women's Forced Labor Camp, inmates package pencils and apply gold powder to decorative vases. At Jining Detention Center, female detainees work on handmade flowers and male inmates make military products such as rubber washers. Some of the flowers made there are so small that they cannot be seen clearly with the naked eye, and some of the reflective pieces put on the flowers are bright enough to cause injury to the eyes. Because there is not enough lighting or air circulation in the workshop, eyesight damage can occur. Most of the products made in prisons, such as the pencils packaged at Jinan Women's Forced Labor Camp with international labels, are sold overseas.

Also, many of the materials we work with are health hazards. For example, the prison guards care only about their own profit and don't provide any work uniforms or gloves for inmates working with pencil lead. Everyone is given only an apron to wear. The guards claimed that wearing gloves slowed down the work, so everyone used bare hands to touch the pencil lead everyday. Workers frequently passed out from lead poisoning. Only then would the guards take the person outside to get fresh air. The gold powder we applied to vases is poisonous as well. One time, several hundred inmates all passed out. The prison guards thought they were pretending and dragged several inmates outside to beat them. Only when no one responded to their beatings did they stop. The prison doctor verified that it was indeed a case of poisoning. The guards finally had to give everyone injections. Working in such an environment, many practitioners are being slowly poisoned. They have symptoms of chest fullness, lung and respiratory infection, low-grade fever, dizziness and poor vision. Some practitioners have difficulty urinating or having a bowl movement.

4. The Pay in the Labor Camps

Practitioners who are "officially" sentenced to forced labor camps receive 60 yuan a month for their work, but they are only given money tickets that can be used at the stores inside the labor camps. The prices of materials sold at these stores are usually several times higher than stores outside the labor camps. Practitioners who are sent to the forced labor camp for several months of brainwashing do not receive any money tickets. As long as they refuse to be "transformed" and sign a repentance statement, their families do not even know where they are. They are not allowed to send letters, use the telephone or have visitors. Some practitioners do not even have money to buy undergarments, because the police confiscated all their money. For several months in the labor camp, they do not have an extra change of clothes. They usually end up wearing clothes that no one wants. Of course, there is no personal hygiene. I later found out all the prisons and forced labor camps in China operate the same way.

At Jinan Women's Forced Labor Camp, practitioners are put into five groupss, each with around 10 prison guards. Under special circumstances, the organization is different. One time, all the practitioners went on a hunger strike. Within half an hour, two hundred fully armed solders arrived. They lined up in the hallways, courtyards and dormitories. The prison guards take shifts; however, they are all present during the evening shift. That is when they force practitioners to watch videos that slander Falun Gong and listen to their propaganda. By doing so, they try to control practitioners' minds.

A 72-year-old professor from a university in Jinan City was shocked with electric batons because she refused to renounce Falun Gong. I saw that her body was covered with burn marks. For over six months, she had a high fever. She was hung to the heating pipe so that only her toes touched the ground. Her legs and feet were black and purple. Still, the guards kicked her feet and asked her if that hurt and if she would still practice Falun Gong.

Some practitioners were dragged to the restroom and splashed with urine. Another practitioner's buttocks festered and rotted from being beaten with a whip made of wires. After that, she still had to sit down for over ten hours a day to work. As a result, she could not sleep on her back. She had a fever of 104 F. Finally, the police notified her family and claimed that she got sick because she practiced Falun Gong. The family sent 8,000 yuan for her medical treatment. According to the practitioner, the doctor extracted two large jars of puss from her buttocks. She was told that she would not have survived if the treatment had been delayed any longer.

Male prison guards also beat practitioners. They usually beat them in a separate room to cover up their acts. Only when practitioners are brought back can people find out what had happened.

When we were working, the prison guards were afraid of being poisoned and only came to the basement once in a while to exam the products. Some inmates were appointed by the police to take turns monitoring practitioners. As an incentive for being strict with practitioners, they can get their sentences reduced.

In addition, practitioners can be transferred between different labor camps. For example, when a practitioner refuses to be transformed or to write guarantee statements after being persecuted with every torture method, the prison guards would transfer the practitioner to a different labor camp to be persecuted all over again. They sent practitioners from Jinan Women's Forced Labor Camp to Wangcun Women's Forced Labor Camp, and vice versa.

I have been imprisoned in labor camps and detention centers many times. I was physically and mentally humiliated and viciously beaten. I spent three Chinese New Years in detention centers. I was not able to have a family dinner with my husband and child. My elderly parents and my child have suffered tremendously. In China, many families are being persecuted. The entire country is under the red terror. One of my fellow practitioner's children became an orphan at less than two years old. Many practitioners cannot go back to their homes because of the persecution.

Mr. Zeng Zhaoxin, in his 30s, lived in the family residential quarters of an alcohol factory in Nanyang City. On May 8, 2005, when he was at an interview at Yalan Company in Nanyang City, he was arrested and sent to the Shangzhuang Detention Center in Nanyang City. While being arrested, police violence caused him to suffer a serious fracture. Mr. Zeng went on a hunger strike. He has now been on hunger strike for more than a month. His body is extremely weak. More of his story follows:

Since Mr. Zeng went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong, he was fired by his company. He was therefore destitute and homeless. After he heard that Yalan Company was recruiting workers, he went there for an interview on the afternoon of May 8, 2005. He was arrested by the police from Nanyang municipal public security bureau. Right now, he is imprisoned in Shangzhuang Detention Center in Nanyang City and is suffering from persecution. There were another two people who were arrested at the same time: Bi Wenxiang, the boss of Yalan Company. (He has been released after his relatives and friends spent several thousand yuan to bribe relevant authorities). The other is Mr. Qiao Mingxi, who was the new security guard of Yalan Company who was hired only a few days prior to the arrest. As a matter of fact, Mr. Qiao was released only 20 days before the arrest after he had been imprisoned for three years and ten months by Wancheng District Police Department,Nanyang City.

Mr. Zeng did not cooperate with his captors as he had been wrongly arrested. During his arrest, his foot was fractured, so he was not able to run away. So far, he has been illegally imprisoned for almost two months. Mr. Zeng continuously fasted in protest. Instructed by the detention center police, the criminals in the detention center dragged him by his injured leg on the ground and used a homemade metal hook to open his mouth to barbarically force-feed him. At the beginning of his imprisonment, in order to persuade him to eat meals, the police allowed his family members to visit him. Later on, seeing that this did not have any effect, the police then did not allow his family members to visit him and threatened, "If Zeng Zhaoxin starves to death, the police will not bear any responsibility."

On June 4, Mr. Zeng was sent to the Nanyang Municipal Central Hospital for a medical examination. The doctor ordered that he must be hospitalized and treated. His family members asked the police to release him for treatment, but the police not only did not release him, but they still force-fed him every day. In addition, they shirked the responsibility and said, "This is all caused by him. All consequences will be borne by him."

Around July 2, in the hallway of Shangzhuang Detention Center, Mr. Zeng Zhaoxin, who was emaciated and had his foot wrapped in gauze, was pushed down on the ground by three policemen. His mouth was forcefully put into an iron brace. In front of many people, they barbarically force-fed him.

Du Siwei, (who seems to be a squadron commander), the police from National Security Group in Wancheng District, Nanyang City, and people under his leadership, beat Mr. Zeng's family members and a neighbor who went there with his family and threatened his family members not to say anything about this matter.

Now Mr. Zeng is on the verge of death and his life is in danger. We hope that all  practitioners around the world and other kindhearted people extend their helping hands to help rescue him. Let us together stop the brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. Urgently rescue Mr. Zeng and Mr. Qiao and other Falun Gong practitioners.

Ms. Gu Ping came from Kashi City, Xinjiang Province. She was harassed, detained and severely beaten because she practiced . The brutal torture and abuse she suffered while she was in Wulapo Forced Labor Camp caused her emaciated appearance. She also developed symptoms of liver cancer. She was released in June 2003 but still suffered persecution at the hands of the local police. Her body became extremely deformed by torture. She jumped out of a building and died on December 2, 2003. (Note: This behavior is against 's requirements that suicide is forbidden. We hope that all practitioners in times of tribulation are able to follow 's requirements that under no circumstances should anyone take their own life. Practitioners should cherish their human bodies and the opportunity to practice Falun Gong. Ms. Gu Ping committed suicide under circumstances of extreme suffering brought on by the evil persecution. All the responsible parties will ultimately meet with justice, since the universe has a law that good deeds will meet with good returns, and evildoings will meet with due retribution.)

Ms. Gu Ping was 28 years old and had graduated from college. She lived in The Spinning and Weaving Factory in Xinjiang Kashi City. She started to practice Falun Gong in 1997. She went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong and was detained, but she escaped later. When she went to Beijing again in June 2000, she was held by Kashi Public Security at the Kashi Detention Center and was later released to her father. At the end of 2001, Zhao Yingjie, Wang Jian and others from the Kashi Political Security Department broke into Ms. Gu Ping's house. They confiscated all her Falun Gong materials and took her to the Kashi Detention Center. They severely beat and tortured her for five days and nights and left her with cuts and bruises all over her body.

In April 2001, Ms. Gu Ping was sentenced to three and half years in forced labor camp and was held at the Urumqi Women's Forced Labor Camp (Wulapo). In October 2001, the police intensified the brainwashing. They "transformed" her and later released her. She was secretly detained again near New Year's Eve 2002 and held in the Wulapo Forced Labor Camp. In June 2003, after being abused and tortured for a long time, she became emaciated and developed symptoms of liver cancer. Refusing to take responsibility for their actions, the Labor Camp workers released her in June 2003.

She was divorced in June 2003 and began to teach in a private school in Kuerle. The local police detained her in August 2003. She started a hunger strike in order to resist the evil violence. Seven days later, the police injected her with unknown drugs. In August 2003, the Kashi Political Security department took her to seek medical attention. They told her family that the local Public Security was responsible for all the expenses. They went to the local private clinic for treatment.

Ms. Gu Ping's father was a retired worker and severely limited financially. Her medical bill was already over several thousand yuan, and the local Public Security officials delayed paying the fee. Ms. Gu's father brought her for treatment anyway, both of them miserable. When her illness deteriorated, she went to the Kashi No. 2 Oncology Hospital for treatment in November 2003. The liver cancer devastated her already weakened body. Due to the long-standing torture and persecution, she jumped out of a building and died on December 2, 2003.

After three months of torture in the hospital, she was sent to Wangcun Forced Labor Camp in Changchun for one and half years of forced labor. On June 21, 2005, the Public Security Section of the Alkene Factory once again sent Ms. Zhang to Wangcun Forced Labor Camp in Zibo City.

The detention center refused to accept her, so the police then took her to the county hospital. Because Ms. Liu's body was rigid from the spasms, the hospital staff gave her an injection. The police took Ms. Liu to the detention center while she was unconscious. Ms. Liu was unable to walk on the second day.

After two days, the police informed Ms. Liu's family that she was seriously ill. They told the family to bring money for her medical treatment.
