The Facts of the Persecution of Falun Gong -- September 23, 2005

Issued by Clearwisdom Net

Mr. Wu Botong

On September 11, 2005, Mr. Wu Botong, a Falun Gong practitioner from Anshun City, Guizhou Province, was persecuted to death at Dujun Prison (also known as Jianjiang Cement Plant in Dujun, Guizhou Province). His body was cremated without his family's permission that very day.

Mr. Wu Botong was seventy-four years old and worked at the Water Conservation Department in Guanling County, Anshun City. He lived in the Xixiu District of Anshun City. After the persecution of Falun Gong started on July 20, 1999, he was sent to brainwashing classes several times because he continued to practice Falun Gong. He was also sent to Zhongba Forced Labor Camp in Guizhou Province for a three-year term. After he left the labor camp, he realized that he had deviated from the righteous practice way. He went to the related government offices and declared that all he'd said and done while he was subjected to the brutal persecution in the forced labor camp was void. He was immediately returned to the labor camp, and the persecution resumed.

Mr. Wu returned home after finishing a three-year term in the labor camp.

In May of this year he was arrested with his wife, Pan Yingmei, on their way to Zhenfeng County to clarify the truth about Falun Gong.

He was detained at the Zhenfeng County Detention Center and sentenced to a seven-year term. His wife was sentenced to three and a half years. She was jailed at the Yang'ai Forced Labor Farm.

Mr. Wu was very healthy when he was transferred from the Zhenfeng County Detention Center to the Jingxi Relocation Center in Guiyang City. He was sent to Dujun Prison on September 5, 2005. At 7:35 a.m. on September 11, 2005, news came that he had died. Police cremated his body without permission on the same day.

Pan Yingmei went to Dujun to see the body, escorted by more than ten policemen from the Yang'ai Forced Labor Farm. Immediately after, she was returned to the Yang'ai Forced Labor Farm. Pan Yingmei's request to let Mr. Wu's sister see the body was rejected. The excuse they gave her was there wasn't enough time.

Dujun Prison is also called the Jianjiang Cement Plant. Most jailed male Falun Gong practitioners from Guizhou Province are held there.

The authorities at Dujun Prison claim they had nothing to do with Mr. Wu Botong's death. They have alleged that whatever happened to him was done at the Jingxi Relocation Center. Information concerning the details of Mr. Wu's death is still under investigation.

Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Peng Dong, in his 20s, was from Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province. Because he had been persecuted for a long time, his body and spirit were devastated enormously. He died suddenly on June 28, 2005.

Peng Dong was happy to have had the chance to first practice Falun Gong in September of 1996. He became the youngest assistant very quickly. Throughout his nine years of  practice, Peng Dong had firmly believed in Master, and had been persistent in practice. He studied the Fa attentively and practiced the exercises every day. He could recite Zhuan Falun and Hong Yin completely, as well as some of Teachers other articles. He fully made use of all of the free time he had to do truth-clarification work, and put almost all of his energy in doing the three things well.

After the persecution began, he went out very quickly to clarify the truth of Falun Gong. On December 30, 2000, he rode a bicycle alone to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Gong. Before leaving, he distributed more than 80 copies of truth clarification material that he made to some workplaces and government offices in Hanzhong. And on the road, he continued to distribute the truth clarifying materials. During the long and tiresome journey, he lived outdoors, and overcame fatigue. After his travel shoes were worn out, he put on another pair. When he arrived at Yuci County, Shanxi Province, he was tracked by the local police. He was arrested and put in a local detention center. Later he was sent back to the detention center of Hanzhong city.

Wherever Peng Dong went, he would clarify the truth. He refused to be "transformed" and was illegally sentenced to a two and half year term in the labor camp. He was sent to the Shanxi Province labor camp (Zaozihe Labor Camp). Because he rejected the transformation, he was tied up on a death bed for two days. In the situation of his body being extremely weak, the personnel in the labor camp forced him to shoulder a sandbag over 100 Jin (lb.), which made him nearly go into shock. On May 13, 2002, he was punished by being forced to kneel for one day in a dark room.

In 2003, Peng Dong was released after his illegal labor camp term expired. The Hanzhong city 610 office and the national security bureau went to his home to harass him on several occasions.

On October 15, 2004, the city 610 office and the national security bureau once again caught Peng Dong and forced him into brainwashing. To resist the persecution, Peng Dong went on a hunger strike for five days.

In April 2005, Peng Dong was caught and taken to Xinyuan hotel for illegal interrogation. Every time he was arrested, he would shout loudly: "Falun Dafa is good," exposing the evil crimes of the persecution.

Having suffered the persecution for a long time, Peng Dong's body and spirit were seriously devastated. He died on June 28, 2005.

Falun Gong Practitioner Ms. Hou Youfang was a 48-year-old teacher in Jinchang City's Jinchuan District Xipo Middle School. She was sent to the Pingantai Forced Labor Camp because she practiced Falun Gong. She was subjected to all kinds of torture, including brutal beatings and being hung up by handcuffs fastened behind her back. When she died, many of the bones in her body were fractured.

Practitioner Mr. Zhao Xudong, from the Lanzhou Chemical Industry Main Corporation Supply and Sales Company, was beaten to death in the Pingan Forced Labor Camp. His mother, Bai Jinyu, had her arms beaten to a pulp by a goon incited by labor camp officers because she refused to give up Falun Gong.

Practitioner Ms. Ren Shuzhen is a 63-year-old doctor with the Gansu Province Yongdeng County Hospital. She was sent to the Lanzhou City Pingantai Forced Labor Camp because she practices Falun Gong. Other inmates, incited by team leader Hu Runmei, knocked out a few of her teeth. The guards forced her to do an excessive amount of work in an effort to "transform" her and stop her from cultivating "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance," but they couldn't move her firm will to practice Falun Gong. They then handcuffed her behind her back, tied a rope through the handcuffs and hung her in the vegetable cellar. People were assigned to monitor her and not let her sleep. This torture is called "Hanging Upside Down."

Practitioner Ms. Jiao Tianyun is a 24-year-old, township cadre of a village in Linxia. She also was sent to the Pingantai Forced Labor Camp, where she was once tortured seven times a day for three days straight. Team leader Hu Runmei had a criminal inmate put dirty rags and stinking socks into her mouth and then torture her with "Hanging Upside Down."

Practitioner Ms. Mao Zhonglian is 53 years old. She is from Linxia City. She was also subjected to the torture of "Hanging Upside Down" and developed bowel and urinary problems.

Mr. Bian Chunyou is 49 years old and from Buoai County of Henan Province. He was badly injured during a war, leaving one of his legs and his feet handicapped. The government has certified him as a second-level handicapped veteran. After Mr. Bian started practicing Falun Gong, the local government stopped his veteran's pension. He has had to live on a small income from repairing TV sets.

In April 2005, Mr. Bian was arrested and imprisoned. While in prison, Mr. Bian's leg injury became worse. He suffered terrible pain, yet every day the police forced him to work long hours making paper boxes.

On August 24, 2005, the Buoai County Court "tried" Mr. Bian. During the "trial," Mr. Bian solemnly told everyone that Falun Dafa is good and that it is not wrong to practice "Truth, Compassion, Forbearance." He also announced firmly that he would continue to practice Falun Gong. The authorities have so far not dared to announce a sentence.

In 1999, Mr. Bian's wife, Ms. Li Xiangfeng, went to Beijing to appeal for the right to practice Falun Gong. Since then, the police have threatened, arrested and persecuted her and caused her to suffer from hemiplegia. On August 30, when Mr. Bian was in prison, Ms. Li accidentally spilled gasoline and caused a fire. She was severely burned and is in the hospital waiting for skin grafts. This makes the family's financial circumstances even worse. Other family members went to the court requesting Mr. Bian's release. No only did the police refuse the request, they did not even allow them to see Mr. Bian.

On September 12 and September 13, 2005, perpetrators from the Guangzhou City 610 Office and the Guangzhou City Police Department illegally broke into numerous residences and arrested Falun Gong practitioners. It was learned that practitioners Shi Lei, Chen Xianzhang, Fan Haiqin and her father and brother, and Chen Huiling have been abducted.

Around midnight on September 12, a dozen officers from the Meihua Street Police Station in the Dongshan District, Guangzhou City broke into Falun Gong practitioner Shi Lei's home and took him away. They said they were going to interrogate Shi Lei and obtain some information from him. When Shi Lei's wife asked them to present the arrest warrant, the police only flashed a slip of paper that read, "Using [slanderous word omitted] to disrupt implementation of the law." Shi Lei's wife asked the police to leave the paper with her but they refused, fearing that it would be evidence later on of their crime.

Shi Lei firmly refused to cooperate with the perpetrators at the police station. On September 13 they sent him to the Guangzhou City Brainwashing Center in Chatou. Mr. Shi is not allowed to meet with his family.

Some time before midnight on September 12, officers from the Haizhu District 610 Office and police department broke into the homes of practitioners Chen Huiling, Fan Wei and Chen Xianzhang (in his 70s) and abducted them. The police had been monitoring and following Chen Huiling for a long time before the illegal arrest.

Around 3:00 a.m. on September 13, practitioner Fan Haiqin was arrested by about eight police officers in front of the building where she lived. The perpetrators proceeded to ransack her home and took a dozen pieces of Falun Gong materials, a set of Falun Gong lectures, VCDs, and a printer.

Her husband tried to reason with the police, but his words fell on deaf ears. Ms. Fan's husband later told other practitioners that these officers were from the city police department and from the Huanghuagnag Police Department. They had been following Fan Haiqin for a long time. The perpetrators abducted Fan Haiqin and destroyed the Falun Gong truth clarification materials production site in her home. According to the police officer in charge of the abduction, Fan Haiqin is to be detained for "15 days under public security detention." She is being held at the No. 5 Tianhe Detention Center in Guangzhou City.

On the afternoon of September 13, Fan Haiqin's father was at home when he was called to the local Haizhu District Police Department to answer some inquiries. He was later released.

It has been learned that this is the first round of illegal arrests, and a second and third round of persecution will follow. We suggest that Falun Gong practitioners in Guangdong Province and Guangzhou City work as one body and destroy all plans to disrupt Falun Gong. Please send forth righteous thoughts as often as possible. Practitioners whose circumstances permit should send forth righteous thoughts at the top of the hour.

On September 2, 2004, Mr. Zhou Jinpeng, a Falun Gong practitioner from Inner Mongolia, was arrested by the police of Ke'er'qin area in Tongliao City. He was illegally imprisoned in the detention center of Ke'er'qin area for about half a year.

Within this period, three relatives of Zhou were also arrested. As soon as the holidays arrived, his relatives and family members were under the fear of being hunted by the police. Even the pigpen at his house was searched many times.

While arresting Zhou Jingpeng on September 2, 2004, Policeman Bao Buhe kept fiercely punching Zhou's face until his face was distorted and his mouth, eyes, and nose bled. Nobody even tried to stop this evil conduct.

In order to cover up the crime, another policeman, Ma Ying, wiped the blood off Zhou Jinpeng's face before video recording him and said, "Nobody hit you, right? We did not see anything." After the beating, Zhou was jailed in an isolated compartment and vomited blood for seven days. The police even cuffed him with 14 kg (31 lb) steel foot shackles that originally were for criminals on death row. He walked with these heavy shackles for six days.

Once, policemen from the police station of Ke'er'qin area came to the detention center. Policeman Bao Jirimutu took Zhou Jinpeng's foot shackles off. A guard of the detention center asked Bao to put down the shackles. However, he put them around Zhou's neck instead, and made him walk with the shackles to humiliate him. During interrogation, policeman Wang Bo threatened Zhou Jinpeng, saying, "Not only I am going to torture you physically, but I am also going to rape you spiritually." He grabbed Zhou Jinpeng's right hand and violently twisted his hand joints by turning his hand back and forth. Because of the extreme pain, Zhou Jinpeng could not help but scream! Zhou Jinpeng was tortured four times this way. Although Wang Bo was covered with sweat, he did not stop torturing Zhou Jinpeng until Shao Jun and Zhang Liming (deputy chief of the police station) came in. Zhou Jinpeng appealed to Zhang Liming, "Isn't this torture?" Zhang answered, "This is not."

Zhou Jinpeng was tortured until after midnight. Bao continuously cursed at Zhou Jinpeng with dirty words. In order to keep Zhou Jinpeng awake, Bao sprayed cold water on his face repeatedly. When dawn broke, Shao Jun cuffed Zhou Jinpeng's hands to a file cabinet and pulled on his belt, which made the handcuffs deeply cut into the flesh of his hands.

Whenever someone came from the police station of Ke'er'qin area to illegally interrogate Zhou Jinpeng (including illegal questioning, and photo taking), Wang Bo and Shao Jun always slapped him in the face. One time his ears were swollen after being hit by Shao Jun.

On February 19, 2004, Zhou Jinpeng was illegally sentenced to seven years in prison. On January, 23, 2004, Zhou Jinpeng wrote a statement for defending himself in court. The trial was held on February, 3 and the verdict was on February, 4. Zhou Jinpeng was secretively transferred to Chifeng Prison of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

Zhou Jinpeng is still suffering from brutal tortures in prison. We call upon all righteous people in the world. Please lend your helping hands and rescue these innocent Falun Gong practitioners who are being seriously persecuted in Mainland China.

(In the verdict document, the judge was Guo Liyan, accompanied by Guo Weimin and Zhang Baocai; the clerk was Xu Wei.)

The local judicial department harassed practitioner Ms. Dong Aijun from Fangcun Town, Daiyue District, Taian City, Shandong Province. The day after her release from prison, August 20, 2005, she left home to avoid further persecution. On the afternoon of September 13, 2005, her husband left home to avoid certain arrest. Her son and daughter are living in another city, so no one currently resides at their home. More details follow:

Li Yong, the political head from the Fangcun Town Police Station in Daiyue District, Taian City arrested Ms. Dong Aijun. It happened when she was distributing truth clarification flyers. She was held at the Xintai City Detention Center. One month later she was sentenced to two years of forced labor and sent to the No. 1 Women's Labor Camp in Shandong Province, located at No. 20 Jiangshuiquan Road in Jinan City. At first, Ms. Dong believed the perpetrators when they misled her and she "reformed". She quickly realized that she had been deceived by their lies. She returned to Falun Gong and firmly refused to cooperate with them any further. Ms. Dong was released on August 19, 2005. Before she left the labor camp, she wrote an announcement, which she then gave to the guards. The guards didn't say anything.

Beginning from the day after her returned home, Hou Fuguo, head of the Fangcun Town 610 Office and Xia Feng, head of Fangcun Town Judicial Office often went to Ms. Dong's home to harass her. They ordered her to write a guarantee statement to renounce Falun Gong, which she refused to do.

At around 11 p.m. on September 7, 2005, Xia Feng led a group of policemen to break into Ms. Dong's home. Her daughter and son-in-law told the police, "The owner of the home is not here right now. Don't touch anything or you'll be violating the law!" They temporarily restrained themselves. Xia Feng walked around the bed and held up a copy of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. Dong Aijun's daughter and son-in-law said, "You brought that here and you are trying to frame us. No way!" They were exasperated and left around midnight.

At around 5:00 p.m. on September 13, about six policemen pounded on Ms. Dong's door. Only Ms. Dong's husband was home then. Her husband and her other family members had been arrested more than three times since 1999. Ms. Dong's husband didn't open the door. He locked the door, jumped over the wall in the yard and ran out. The police fanatically chased after him but couldn't catch him. On the morning of September 14, Ms. Dong's husband returned home. He saw that the lock on the door was broken and the whole place had been turned upside down. The bed, the closet, the drawers and the chests were all combed through and messed up. His neighbors confirmed that about six policemen entered Ms. Dong's home around dusk on September 13 and left after having been there a long time. The footprints the perpetrators left in the courtyard wall were still clearly visible on the morning of September 14.

Ms. Han Guiping is a Falun Gong practitioner in her 30's. She had many illnesses before she started to practice Falun Gong. After she began practicing Falun Gong, her physical and mental condition improved dramatically and she enjoyed living illness-free. She also got rid of her bad habitats, such as smoking, drinking, and playing Mahjong (a form of gambling).

After the persecution started, Ms. Han appealed against the injustice. She was arrested and detained in a mental hospital. After she was released, the officials from the local residential committee went to Ms. Han's home many times to harass her. Her phone was monitored as well. Then, her husband died.

While Ms. Han was still mourning her husband, the police attempted to detain her again in order to subject her to forced brainwashing. To avoid the persecution, Ms. Han had to leave her home with her child, and they became homeless.

None of her relatives dared to take Ms. Han into their homes due to the fear of being persecuted along with her. Still, the police came to her deer farm many times and tried to arrest her, but failed each time. Due to frequent harassment by the police, her deer farm was no longer able to do business, and thus her source of income was cut off. Ms. Han's happy family was destroyed and her life was in great difficulty. Her teenage son, Wang Bing, was no longer able to attend school and had to lead a homeless life with his mother.

Not long ago, Ms. Han and her son were arrested by the police and their detention location is unknown.

Mr. Zhang Gongmei, age 73, was a retired worker from the Xianan District of Hubei Province. From 1982 to 1995, Mr. Zhang was seriously ill. He was one of those who spent a lot of money on medical expenses. After taking up the practice of Falun Gong in 1996, his health quickly recovered. From 1996 to 2005, he wasn't sick at all. When the practice of Falun Gong was officially banned in 1999 by the Chinese government, Mr. Zhang went to Wuhan, the capital of Hubei Province, then later to Beijing to appeal for the restoration of the right to practice Falun Gong. When the persecution was at its peak, he stopped practicing for a while. Later, however, Mr. Zhang started to practice again, and he clarified the truth and distributed materials in support of Falun Gong. The police considered Mr. Zhang's case as a typical "Falun Gong case." They ransacked his house, confiscated his property, and later took him away to be brainwashed. Mr. Zhang died of torture on July 23, 2005.

Mr. Dong Chunhou, 60, was a Falun Gong practitioner from Macheng City, Hubei Province. After he started to practice in February 1997, Mr. Dong went from being a very sick person to a very healthy one. In 2000, Mr. Dong was arrested and sent to a brainwashing class, where he was subjected to various barbarous treatments. After his release, police officers continued to harass him with threats and extortion. Finally, Mr. Dong broke down and died on November 9, 2003.

Mr. Su Diankui, age 80, was a practitioner from Xianfeng Village, Longhe Township, Nahe City, Heilongjiang Province. Before starting to practice Falun Gong in October 1996, Mr. Su experienced constant muscle sprains and cramps, which prevented him from squatting and using the toilet. However, after taking up the practice of Falun Gong, all those problems disappeared. In the spring of 2002, someone reported him to the authorities for possessing Falun Gong materials. As a result, all his videotapes, reading materials and Falun Gong books were confiscated. He was taken away, beaten, and locked up for 48 hours. Continual harassment and ill treatment afterwards finally drove him to his death on November 21, 2003.

Ms Sun Shuhui, age 40, was a practitioner from Baoding City, Hebei Province. In 2000, Ms. Sun was diagnosed with cancer and was told that she had only eight months to live. After taking up the practice of Falun Gong, she recovered miraculously. Out of appreciation, she went around promoting Falun Gong and clarifying the facts to people who had been misled by the government propaganda. In 2002, due to constant harassment and pressure from police officers, her health suddenly declined, and she died in 2003.

At 8:10 p.m. on September 18, 2005, the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, etc. was tapped into and broadcast on CCTV 1 and Yunnan TV 1 in the area near the border of Myanmar, and lasted for about thirty minutes. The equipment was timer controlled.

Local people responded that the signals were very clear and covered a large area, and about twenty thousand people viewed it clearly.

Comments indicated that because Mainland Chinese people's right to know the truth is suppressed, it is resulting in people daring to break the news blockades by tapping into TV systems. This is a reflection of people's right to the facts returning.

Other reports said that at 8:20 p.m., on August 9, 2005, Guan County TV 2 (Channel 26) in Shandong Province also broadcast a program about withdrawing from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

Neiqinghe TV in Linxi County, Hebei Province was also tapped into and broadcast a similar program.

On August 2, 2005, Ji County Cable TV was tapped into and broadcast the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party for two hours.

On July 3, 2005, all thirteen channels of CCTV and twelve channels of the southern nine Provinces were covered simultaneously.

The Epoch Times published the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, which prompted a large surge of withdrawals from the CCP. As of September 20, 2005, four million four hundred thousand people have withdrawn from the CCP and its associated organizations, according to The Epoch Times website.
