Mr. Lin Deming, a Falun Gong practitioner from Weiyuan County, Neijiang City, Sichuan Province, passed away on June 9, 2005 due to prolonged persecution by officials of the 610 Office and guards from Zigong City Prison.

Mr. Lin Deming, a fifty-three-year-old physician, lived in Group one of Qiaodang Village, Jiepai Town, Weiyuan County, Neijiang City, Sichuan Province. He was kind-hearted, and the local villagers and his patients all praised him. Although Mr. Lin Deming was a doctor, he suffered from many diseases, and he even had his spleen surgically removed, but still was not cured. His condition often recurred and he suffered excruciating pain.

In July 1997 Mr. Lin Deming found Falun Gong. Less than one month after he started practicing, the diseases that had tortured him for many years all vanished and his health naturally returned. 

After the persecution began on July 20, 1999, Mr. Lin Deming steadfastly persisted in continuing to practice Falun Gong. As a result, he was cruelly persecuted.

In 2000, Mr. Lin Deming peacefully appealed for Falun Gong in Beijing with his six other family members. He was illegally arrested and sent back to Weiyuan County and detained there for 15 days.

In July 2000, the corrupt officials were actively searching out and arresting Falun Gong practitioners in Weiyuan County. Once again, Mr. Lin Deming was arrested and detained for 15 days by officials of Jiepai Town. After he was released from prison, he and other practitioners clarified the truth of Falun Gong and distributed truth-clarifying materials to people in every city and county in Sichuan Province. Day or night, no matter how far and dangerous the roads they walked, they continued to frighten the evil and save peoples with their righteous thoughts.

In January 2001, the police illegally searched Mr. Lin Deming's house and confiscated his property. They found the book Zhuan Falun in his house. For this, Mr. Lin was forcefully detained in a local police substation where he was persecuted. He was sentenced to one-year of imprisonment and was detained at Mianyang City Detention Center. The officials of the Weiyuan County 610 Office also informed the Weiyuan County Health Bureau to withhold his license for practicing medicine, effectively cutting off the family's source of income.

In 2002, Mr. Lin Deming was released. He resolutely persisted in doing what a Falun Dafa practitioner should do. Once, some fellow practitioners were illegally arrested. This led the police to arrest Mr. Lin again, and he was sentenced to six-years of imprisonment. One of his family members, Mrs. Lin Haiyan, was sentenced to five-years; Mr. Chen Wancai was sentenced to four-years and Mr. Song Ziming was sentenced to three-years of imprisonment. Mrs. Lin Haiyan was sent to Jianyang Female Forced Labor Camp, while Mr. Lin Deming, Mr. Chen Wancai and Mr. Song Ziming were all sent to Deyang Forced Labor Camp, where they sustained tremendous abuse. Mr. Lin Deming acted according to his strengthened righteous thoughts, and six months later he was transferred to Zigong City Forced Labor Camp where he continued to be cruelly persecuted.

After several years of torture, Mr. Lin Deming became debilitated, losing the use of his left eye. At the Zigong City Forced Labor Camp, he became seriously ill and the prison doctors had to rescue him several times. In 2004, Mr. Lin Deming suffered from high blood pressure and a weak heart. The officials of Zigong City Forced Labor Camp had to send him to the Fourth Hospital of Zigong City for emergency rescue. Mr. Lin was released on medical bail on October 24, 2004, because the labor camp was afraid to be held responsible for his condition.

After Mr. Lin Deming returned home, the 610 Office officials still required him to report to them three times each month. When some truth-clarifying materials appeared in Xindian Town, Weiyuan County, the 610 Office officials blamed Mr. Lin Deming. They colluded with Zigong City Labor Camp to force Mr. Lin Deming to provide a handwriting sample for them to use as evidence. Under the stress of prolonged harassment and persecution, Mr. Lin Deming passed away on June 9, 2005.

Jin Zunyi, a Falun Gong practitioner from Nanchun City, Xinjian County, Jiangxi Province, died from persecution. When he went to Beijing to appeal on behalf of Falun Gong on September 25, 1999, he was arrested and detained in a detention center in Beijing. In October 1999, under orders from their superiors, the Public Security Bureau and an officer from the local police station accompanied Mr. Jin's family to Beijing to identify his body. The police officer in Beijing told the family, "During a train ride, your son jumped to his death." They were also warned not to talk about it with other people.

Mr. Jin's father, a simple farmer, lost his son and didn't know how and where he could appeal for justice. This news arrived late because he had left home to work in neighboring towns and so no one knew about it until he recently returned. No further details are available because the family is too afraid to talk about it.

According to a "News from China - June 2, 2005" report on Minghui/Clearwisdom, "At about 8 a.m. on May 30, 2005, Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Wen Fenhua of Mianhu Town, Jiexi County, Guangdong Province was arrested jointly by the county police bureau, the 610 Office, and police from the town police station. Her whereabouts are currently unknown. At the time of her arrest, her family members asked where she would be taken, and were told "to class" as she was dragged away. Her four children, the youngest only one year old, and a 70-year-old parent, were left at home with nobody to look after them. Ms. Wen had been taken to the brainwashing class three times last year. Each time she was tortured."

On the morning of June 16, the Director of the Residents' Public Security Committee, Chen Peihui, went to Wen Fenhua's home, and told her husband, Yang Yingpeng, to lodge an application requesting Wen Fenhua's release, on account of the need to take care of four children and a 70+ year-old parent sick in bed. Yang Yingpeng filed the application as instructed. In the evening, Chen Peihui told him to pick Fenhua up at 6:30 p.m. on June 17 at the Mianhu Police Station. Chen asked him not to bring the children.

On the following day, Yingpeng went to the police station with the children (as there was no one to look after them at home). He did not see Fenhua, but saw a police van without a number plate. Director Huang asked Yingpeng to go with the van to pick up Fenhua. Yingpeng said, "On May 30 you came to my home and abducted Fenhua. Now, it is your responsibility to return her to me." Yingpeng then went home. At about 10 p.m. the same day, the Public Security Director came to Yingpeng's home and asked him to open the door, saying Fenhua was on her way. Yingpeng opened the door, but did not see his wife. Director Huang said Fenhua was in the van. Yingpeng went to the van, and saw a woman helping Wen Fenhua to sit up. Ms. Wen was leaning against the side of the vehicle, unable to move. Yingpeng was stunned, and called Fenhua's name several times. Fenhua could only answer once faintly. Yingpeng squatted down, and together with two men and another woman carried Fenhua into the house. Yingpeng asked them why Fenhua was like this. Director Huang said it was because she went on a hunger strike. Upon hearing that, Fenhua struggled to say, "I did eat." They put Fenhua down, but she was too weak to support herself.

In the two following days, Fenhua needed help to eat and go to the bathroom. She needed help to turn herself, and her eyes were closed the whole time. When others called her name, she could only respond with a feeble hum. In addition, there were many bruises on her legs, and some wounds were still exuding sero-sanguineous fluid. More ominously, in many places on the wrists and on the back of her hands, there were needle marks, some with extravasated blood. On analysis, it was very likely that she was injected with drugs.

After the persecution of Falun Gong began on July 20, 1999, under orders from the directors of the Yushu City detention centers in Jilin Province, Wei Fucheng and Gong Tie, a brutal persecution was carried out against Falun Gong practitioners. They not only illegally held Falun Gong practitioners, but also had them brutally tortured with many methods, including force-feeding, pouring cold and dirty water on practitioners, tying them on the death bed, forcing them to wear restraining devices used for death row inmates, and violent beatings.

In the spring of 2000, over ten practitioners were imprisoned in a Yushu City detention center. On the morning of February 22, guard Teng took a bucket of dirty water used for cleaning the floors and poured it on top of the practitioners' heads. With the dirty water dripping from the practitioners' faces and heads, Teng cursed at them and took the Falun Gong books away. Later, the practitioners were transferred to another detention center, which has held a total of over two hundred practitioners over the course of several years. Every morning, the practitioners got up to practice the Falun Gong exercises without disturbing anyone, even though the guards, under the instigation of Director Wei Fucheng, beat them with a big plastic pipe and then forced them to lie prostrate on the cement floor before finally pushing the practitioners out of the room into the freezing cold outdoors. Such violent occurrences happened every day.

In order to protest against the persecution, the practitioners went on hunger strikes. The guards forced them to go outside and carry snow on their shoulders from one place to another, and tortured them with a variety of methods. One day, guard Gao Yong forced 19-year-old Miss Liu Jinfeng to take off her warm coat and sit on a pile of snow, while it was snowing and extremely cold. Soon, Miss Liu's hands were frozen and became purple. After two or three hours, she was allowed to go inside. Her hands had swollen very badly, her lips were dark blue and she was shaking uncontrollably, unable to talk. The guards also punished Ms. Ju Dongmei and four other practitioners who were persistent in practicing the exercises, locking them up in a small isolation cell.

They put the practitioners who firmly believed in Falun Gong into Cell No. 8, where it was wet and cold. Water dripped from the ceiling and walls, and the bed boards were so wet that the practitioners were unable to lie down and could only sit on the bed. Around 3 a.m. on February 28, when some practitioners were sitting in meditation, they were found by Yang Zhifei who was on duty. He ordered guards Sun Jingfu, Zhang Fuxue, Zhang Zhijun and driver Han (last name) to help him torture the practitioners. They pushed the practitioners onto the bed boards and then beat them with sticks. The sound of beating could be heard far down the corridor. They also took off all the practitioners' clothes except for their underwear and mercilessly beat them, focusing on sensitive parts of their bodies such as their anklebones and the inside of their upper legs. Driver Han hit a practitioner 200 times with a stick. After hitting the practitioner, he was unable to lift his arm for several days, and he was extremely weak when he walked.

The detention center personnel also used long bags filled with sand to beat the practitioners. After hitting them for over two hours, they threw the practitioners, who were still wearing only their underwear and who were unable to move due to the beating, outside in the snow to freeze them. By that time, two of them, Mr. Zhu Feng and Ms. Chai Xiuzhi, had become unconscious. The practitioners wanted to carry these two practitioners back inside, but guard Xu Jiufei said, "You aren't allowed to carry them inside. If several people die that would be no problem. We are allowed three deaths every year." Chen Yaoguo also echoed him, "No problem, we are allowed two or three deaths."

After the practitioners firmly insisted on carrying the two unconscious practitioners back into the room, the guards finally allowed them to do so. The rest of the practitioners were frozen for about half an hour, and only then were they allowed to come inside. Their legs had become dark purple, and when they used the toilet, they were only able to squat halfway. A hard scar still remains on one of the practitioners' legs as a result of the beatings and being frozen. After being released, one of the practitioner's fingernails fell off due to frostbite. The practitioners who were seriously beaten that morning were Ms. Chai Xiuzhi, Mr. Liu Qingjie, Mr. Zhu Feng, Ms. Ren Chunying, Ms. Liu Shujuan, Ms. Hao Shuqin, Ms. Zhou Qiling and Ms. Liu Jinfeng. The day before, Director Wei Fucheng had told the guards: "Tomorrow if they practice the exercises again, beat them until they can hardly breathe and drag them outside to freeze."

That day, guard Gao Yong ordered Ms. Liu Shujuan and Ms. Zhou Qiling to take off their cotton-padded jackets and stand outside facing the back wall. Ms. Liu Shujuan refused to do so. Gao Yong then put heavy shackles, normally reserved for violent death-row inmates, on Ms. Liu Shujuan . She could hardly move when she walked with the shackles. Gao Yong tied her arm with a rope and held the rope with one hand while he used his other hand to beat Ms. Liu Shujian with a stick. The guards forced four other practitioners to run in a circle with Ms. Liu Shujuan walking among them. After several days, officers from the police department took seven practitioners from the detention center to the labor camp for "reeducation through forced labor." The camp found their wounds very serious and refused to accept them, so the police had to beg the camp to accept the seven practitioners.

The practitioners who were illegally imprisoned in the detention center had all been tortured. On one occasion, guard Dasunzi forced practitioner Ms. Sun Zhongzhi to take off her pants and beat her badly. Over 60-year-old Ms. Ge Shuqin was held on the bed boards and beaten simply because she practiced Falun Gong. One time in Cell No. 8, the practitioners recited Teacher's book together. They were seen by guard Jiao Shuxia, who forced the practitioners to lie face down on the cement floor. Jiao then poured cold water on the practitioners until they were soaking wet. During this time of illegal imprisonment, more than 40 practitioners were sentenced to "reeducation through forced labor." Three of them have been persecuted to death; they are Ms. Han Yuzhu, Mr. Wang Xianyou and Mr. Yue Kai.

Besides cruelly beating, freezing and pouring water on the practitioners, the authorities also barbarically force-feed the practitioners when they go on hunger strikes. In July 2001, practitioner Ms. Zhang Xiuli was illegally imprisoned in the detention center. In order to protest against the persecution, Ms. Zhang went on a hunger strike. Under orders from Deputy Director Li, the doctor from the detention center, guard Dasunzi, and several male detainees, barbarously force-fed Ms. Zhang Xiuli. They mixed half a bowl of salt with a little amount of water and stirred it into a dense soup. Then, they tried to force-feed Ms. Zhang Xiuli. She refused to drink the salt solution. Guard Dasunzi, then grabbed her hair and beat and kicked her. They pried open her mouth to force-feed her, spilling the salty mixture all over her body.

During this time, a higher-ranking authority came to visit the detention center, and Deputy Director Li lied to the visitor, saying, "We just force-fed her lightly salted water." One day, while sitting on the bed boards, practitioner Ms. Guo Shuxue was sending forth righteous thoughts, and was found by Wei Fucheng. He not only cursed Ms. Guo but also punished her by making her stand facing the wall.

There is also a shortage of food for the practitioners in the detention center. Each day, practitioners only have two meals, consisting of a small piece of half-cooked, leavened rice flour bread and a bowl of dark and frozen Chinese cabbage soup. The detention center charges over several dozen yuan for the food. At first, the meal was a bowl of rice and a variety of vegetables, which cost twenty yuan.

Some practitioners went on hunger strikes without eating anything for over ten days. When they were released, the detention center still demanded that the practitioners' family members pay the full amount of the cost of meals for the total period of imprisonment. The items sold at the detention center's convenience store are very expensive, about two to three times higher than what would be found in normal outside stores.

The above is just a small portion of the brutal persecution of practitioners in the detention centers in Yushu City. The people who participated in the persecution, in addition to those mentioned above, are: police officer Zhang Zhijun, Sun Jingfu, Zhang Fuxue, driver Han, Gao Yong, Xu Jiufei, and Chen Yaoguo, also included Yang Zhifei, Wang Fei, An Yanguo, Jiao Shuxia, Zhao Chunyan, Teng Qingling, Gong Tie and the doctor from the detention center.

It was disclosed to an insider that over the past two to three years, most of the guards from the Yushu City detention centers have suffered from hepatitis B. Among them, Jiao Shuxia has already developed symptoms of liver cirrhosis. Her husband also has been implicated in a crime involving money fraud. Sunjingfu not only has been stricken with hepatitis B, but his wife has gotten sick and their child has been convicted for stealing vehicles. It is the law of Heaven that "good deeds are rewarded with good and bad deed receive their just retribution."

I am a sixth grader.

On May 28, 2005, a group of policemen broke into my home. My mother is a hairdresser and runs her business out of our home. Without showing any legal procedures or documents, the police ransacked our place, searching every corner including the insides of our shoes. In one of my mother's boots, they found 5,000 yuan.

My mother works hard and has saved every penny for my school tuition. However, the police took our money without giving us a receipt or going through any legal procedures.
