Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Jia Junxi, 58 years old, lived in Qianxiaozhuang Village in Daxin Township, Fugou County, Henan Province. He was arrested on August 18, 2005 when clarifying the truth. Mr. Jia was tortured to death around August 29 at the county detention center.

According to witnesses, Jia Junxi was held in solitary confinement on August 28, where on orders from the guards, four inmates beat him savagely. The solitary confinement cell door remained locked for the following 24 hours; and no one checked on Jia Junxi during this period. On August 30, the perpetrators sent Jia Junxi's stiffed body to the county hospital in an attempt to cover up the crime of torture that killed him. The doctor asked, "Why are you bringing in a dead body?" The doctor refused to let the perpetrators bring the body into a ward, so they put Mr. Li's body in the hallway.

Around 6:00 p.m. on August 30, Jia Junxi's family received a death notice from the Fugou County Police Department. His family and some fellow villagers went to the hospital. They saw that Jia Junxi's teeth were clenched, his eyes wide open, one hand held in a tight fist, one leg was half bent, and his body was deformed. They confronted the perpetrators, "Why was he in such a wretched state? How did he die?" The police answered, "Heart attack." His family was suspicious and asked for an autopsy. The police said, "Nothing's going to happen even if you sue us in Beijing."

The police ignored the family's protests and cremated the body later that night. Jia Junxi's wife held the box with his ashes and said, "He left home a healthy person, and now he's a pile of ashes!"

Before his arrest, on August 18, Jia Junxi left home and joined fellow practitioners, 52-year-old Mr. Jia Heshen and his wife, to clarify the truth about the persecution of Falun Gong. They were abducted in Liuxiu Township in Lutan County by perpetrators from the Lutan County Police Department. Later that night they were sent to the Fugou County Police Department. They were threatened and tortured, and their homes were ransacked.

Jia Junxi was tortured to death and the whereabouts of Jia Heshen and his wife are unknown.

We again call for kind-hearted people to help end the persecution and bring the perpetrators to justice!

I am a resident of Shanwei City, Guangdong Province. I started practicing Falun Gong in 1996. Before then, my wife was a chronic medical patient who had been taking medication and injections for 18 years. When my son was 16 years old, a tumor grew in his brain. The doctor said it would be hard to get rid of. Desperate, I heard that Falun Gong was effective in getting rid of diseases and making people healthy. Mentally predisposed to make this effort, I asked my wife and son to start the practice. A miracle happened! After only two days of practicing, my wife didn't need to take medicine anymore. She soon totally recovered and could do family chores and farm work again. The tumor in my son's brain left his body as blood flowing from his arm, and he could then go back to school. I deeply admired Teacher and the power of Falun Gong, so I also started practicing as well. My family of three began enjoying a very happy life in the practice and study of Falun Gong. At the same time, I used my personal experience to let other people know about the practice.

In July 1999, the evil persecution by Jiang Zemin's regime started. Since my family was saved by Falun Gong, I thought I should tell people that Falun Dafa is good. When local police officers interrogated me about my practice of Falun Gong, I used my wife and son's experiences to tell them that for saving people. The reports in the newspaper and on TV are lies made up by Jiang's regime to defame Falun Gong. Because I told the truth, officers from the 610 Office sent me to a brainwashing session and tried to coerce me into writing a guarantee statement to stop practicing. I did not yield, so they detained me for over ten days. After being released, just like fellow practitioners, I resumed my practice in the Fa-rectification period.

In March 2002, police officers arrested me again. They kicked and punched me 65 times. Even though I am elderly, they still tortured me like that! The third day, officers from the 610 Office asked me, "Where are you from? What is your name and address, and why do you practice Falun Gong?" I asked them, "Why was I detained in jail and punched and kicked 65 times? Where is the law?" One of them said, "This is a political problem." I said, "Is it politics to beat people? What kind of politics is that?" Another one asked. "Is Falun Gong good?" I answered, "very good. It teaches people to be good, kind, and virtuous."

I was detained in jail for three months during which time they frequently beat me. Later, I was sent to the Sanshui Forced Labor Camp. The second day in the camp, we were forced to watch the staged Tiananmen Square Self-immolation video. After watching the video, I said, "This is staged! How could Liu Baorong be alright after drinking half a bottle of gasoline? Wang Jindong was burned over his whole body, so how could his hair remain intact? How could the little girl Liu Siying sing after having a tracheotomy? Isn't this an act to deceive people? The Chinese Communist Party is a veteran liar."

Police officers were very cruel to determined practitioners. Some practitioners were locked up in small cages in which one could not extend his arms and legs and then shocked with electric batons. Some were forced to kneel down for a long time, and some were beaten while suspended.

One day I learned that Teacher's new article had arrived. I wanted to read it, but was stopped by a police officer in his 30s. He forced me to kneel down to him. I refused and he became very angry and shocked me all over with an electric baton until I lost consciousness.

When I woke up, I found I was in a small room with horrible odors. I found out that it was the morgue. I shouted, "Help!" then lost consciousness again. Later, I learned that I had been unconscious in that small room for three and a half days. They were preparing to cremate me but stopped when they discovered that I was still breathing. They informed my family to come get me. They gave them 1,000 yuan and said, "Cremate him or bury him, it's your choice. It has nothing to do with us." Then they left.

I was on the verge of death and needed support from my wife and son just to stand up. Back home, at first I listened to Falun Gong audiotapes and later resumed the exercises. My mind cleared very quickly. Through practicing Falun Gong, I gradually recovered. Now I can walk again with the aid of a cane.

Over two years have elapsed. I am writing down my experience in order to tell people that I am only following "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" to be a good person, but I was almost killed by the CCP. It was Falun Gong that gave me a second life. Kind people, please do not be fooled by the CCP's lies. Please remember, "good." Falun Gong will bring you to an eternally bright future.

On September 5, 2000, police from Branch No. 1 of the Public Security Bureau of Dandong City, Liaoning Province, abducted local Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Lu Huizhong from his workplace. Mr. Lu was tortured to death around 3:00 a.m. the next day. His face was dark blue and his eyes remained wide open. Mr. Zhu Wenjie, Head of the Public Security Bureau of Dandong City even told Lu Huizhong's family, "I will be glad to face any lawsuit you wish to file against me. I will accept all the legal consequences should you win the lawsuit."

Mr. Lu Huizhong died at the age of 38. He was an employee at Dandong City First Department Store. He started practicing Falun Gong in 1996. After former President Jiang Zemin and the Chinese Communist Party banned Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, the police arrested Mr. Lu after he stepped forward to appeal for justice for Falun Gong. He was illegally detained for 15 days and released. Then he continued to clarify the truth about Falun Gong.

On September 5, 2005, the police from Branch No. 1 of the Public Security Bureau in Dandong City showed up at Mr. Lu Huizhong's workplace and took him away. At around 7:00 p.m. that day, Mr. Lu's older brother went to visit him in detention and he was still alive and well then. But around 3:00 a.m. the next day, the police told Mr. Lu's family that Lu Huizhong had killed himself by jumping out of the building. When Mr. Lu's family asked the police about the details of his death, the police gave inconsistent answers, which exposed their lies. Lu Huizhong's family went to their superior at the Public Security Bureau in Dandong City, but they were met with a provocative reply from Zhu Wenjie, the Head of the Public Security Bureau, who said, "I will be glad to face any lawsuit you wish to file against me. I will accept all the legal consequences should you win the lawsuit."

To uphold justice for Lu Huizhong, his family talked to all the relevant legal organizations in Dandong City, including the Public Security Bureau, the city's Political and Legal Committee and the Prosecutor's Office. None of them were willing to uphold justice for Lu Huizhong. Finally, the family decided to hire an attorney to represent them, but no attorney had the courage to take the case, due to the Chinese Communist regime's announcement that no one must ever defend Falun Gong practitioners in court.

Mr. Lu's family tried for about 80 days to seek justice for Lu Huizhong, but no one would help them. Mrs. Lu was overcome with grief. She didn't want to leave her husband's body in the morgue any longer, so she finally decided to have a funeral and an autopsy before the cremation. According to the coroner, there were injuries on Mr. Lu's face and body, and his ribcage was fractured in three different places. A fractured rib penetrated Lu's heart, which caused his death. His thighbones were fractured in two different places. His face was dark blue and his eyes were wide open.

On the day of the cremation, Mrs. Lu didn't want to trouble her husband's fellow Falun Gong practitioners. She only invited one of her husband's co-workers who was a Falun Gong practitioner to attend the cremation. Because he was notified shortly before the cremation, he only had time to notify about 20 Falun Gong practitioners to pay Lu Huizhong their last respects at the funeral parlor. When the police saw so many Falun Gong practitioners appearing at the funeral parlor, they brought in a few police cars with armed policemen. The atmosphere was very tense and terrifying. But no one was intimidated. They paid their last respects silently and tranquilly.

Seven days after the cremation, Lu Huizhong's family followed the local Chinese custom and burned paper money to offer to Lu Huizhong's spirit. That day, about twenty of Lu Huizhong's family members went to Branch No. 1 of the Public Security Bureau in Dandong City and started burning the paper money in front of their building. The police came out to stop them and they began to argue. Lu Huizhong's family asked the police, "Why can't we burn the paper money here?" The police replied, "This is an office building. You must not burn paper money here." Lu Huizhong's family questioned, "You have illegally arrested Lu Huizhong and brought him here. He died mysteriously here. His spirit is still here. Of course we must offer him the paper money here. Where else will we be able to reach his spirit?!"

Meanwhile, Mrs. Lu explained in tears about her husband's wrongful death to any passerby who would listen. She said, "Lu Huizhong was a very kind man. He became an even better person after he started practicing Falun Gong. He did not violate any Chinese law, but the police abducted him and he died in police custody. We cannot file a lawsuit to uphold justice for him. How are my daughter and I to go on without him?" Lu Huizhong's daughter kept calling for her daddy during the paper money offering ritual. Many people were brought to tears when they witnessed the heartbreaking moment.

In order to prevent Lu Huizhong's family from burning paper money in front of the police department again on the 14th day and the 21st day following his cremation (which are known as the second 7th day and the third 7th day according to local Chinese custom), the police from Branch No. 1 of the Public Security Bureau in Dandong City dispatched a large number of officers to put all of Mr. Lu's family under house arrest on those two days. By silencing the family, they hoped to conceal their crimes against Lu Huizhong.

In Shandong Province, the "Special Case Authority" concentrates on persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. Recently, 12 practitioners have been illegally detained from Shengli Oil Field.

The intensified persecution of practitioners from Shengli Oil Field began with the arrest of a local practitioner. Public Security Bureau police in Huantai County, Zibo City, Shandong Province, learned that this practitioner knew another practitioner in Lijin County, Dongying City. They quickly arrested the practitioner from Lijin County. This arrest led them to a practitioner who worked at the Shengli Oil Field, Mr. Zhang Aiquan. They placed Mr. Zhang under surveillance and illegally recorded personal conversations. Then, on May 13, 2005, they arrested Mr. Zhang Aiquan and abducted his wife, Wang Mingyuan, later that day. On May 20, Mr. Yu Desheng was arrested. The other practitioners from Shengli Oil Field that were abducted are: Zheng Ruihuan, Liu Yulan, Yang Jiangjun, An Yuzhi, Zhong Siping, Chen Xingrong, He Boqing, You Yunsheng, Zhou Baoshun, and Liang Yu.

All of these practitioners are decent, law-abiding citizens. The supposed reason for their arrest seems to be that they would greet each other and have a very brief chat when they met. That is how the persecutors rationalize arresting upright citizens. As these practitioners become acquainted with more people, the Special Case Authority arrests more people. The Authority has moved its offices into the Shengli Hotel at the oil field, in order to more easily arrest more Falun Gong practitioners in that area.

Shengli Hotel in Shengli Oil field

Dongyin City government is under the direct control of the Shandong Province Special Case Authority. Under the guise of local law enforcement, practitioners are secretly monitored by police cars that often cruise around their homes.

We call on the international community to express serious concern that a large-scale persecution in the Shengli Oil Field area will soon commence.

We also hope that the Special Case Authorities in Shandong Province who are persecuting practitioners will make the right choice to ensure a good future for themselves during this turning point in history.

Two Falun Gong practitioners from Changchun City, Jilin Province, Mr. Xin Changnian and his wife, Ms. Chen Jing, died on June 5, 2004, and July 8, 2005, respectively from relentless persecution. In 2002, their son, Mr. Xin Wei, was sentenced to nine years in prison. He has suffered severe mental and physical torture in Jilin Prison.

Mr. Xin Changnian, 75 year old, and his wife Ms. Chen Jing, 68 year old, lived near the Second Avenue Christian Church in Changchun. They started to practice Falun Gong in 1996. Before learning Falun Gong, Mr. Xin suffered from facial spasms, gastroptosis, and other ailments. Ms. Chen suffered from "Behçet's Syndrome," with lip cankers and other inflammations, and protrusion of the lumbar intervertebral discs. After they started practicing Falun Gong, both of them became healthy again.

After the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started to suppress Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, Mr. Xin's son, Mr. Xin Wei went to Beijing many times to appeal for justice for Falun Gong. The police frequently went to their home to harass them. Xin Wei was arrested many times. Mr. Xin and Ms. Chen were quite distressed. One summer night around 8 p.m., the couple was asleep; they didn't hear the policemen knocking on the door. The police climbed in through their window on the second floor, seriously frightening them.

On the evening of March 11, 2002, Mr. Xin Changnian and Mr. Xin Wei were arrested. Mr. Xin Changnian was released after two weeks of detention. His son Xin Wei was sentenced to the Second Prison of Jilin (also known as Jilin Prison) for nine years. In prison he was brutally tortured both mentally and physically. Not long ago, his eyes were struck during a beating and became bloodshot. In the Second Prison of Jilin, a few of the torture methods that the police use on the firm practitioners are: tying them up with ropes, stretch-torture, beating, forcing practitioners to sit motionless on a hard board, and sleep deprivation. The "stretch-torture" in particular can be very brutal. The tendons can tear after just ten minutes and the victims pass out from the excruciating pain. Practitioners who protest the persecution by going on a hunger strike are force-fed with a highly concentrated saline solution and are not allowed any water, or else they are subjected to the stretching torture.

On November 29, 2003, at around 9 p.m., the police from the Security Branch of the Changchun Police Department took Mr. Xin Changnian's daughter-in-law into custody for a number of days and waited in ambush at his son's house, in an attempt to arrest other Dafa practitioners. They ransacked the son's house once again. After they were finished, only Mr. Xin's grandson, a middle school student, was left at home. He was not allowed to go to school and had no one to take care of him.

After years of relentless persecution, Mr. Xin Changnian died on June 5, 2004, and Ms. Chen Jing died on July 28, 2005.

The Heizuizi Women's Labor Camp not only tortures Falun Gong practitioners using cruel means but has also forced them to do hard labor for 16 to 18 hours a day, fabricating artificial butterflies and birds for export and making large profits of foreign currency for the labor camp. The photos below are examples of the feather butterflies made by the Falun Gong practitioners.

The white feathers used to make the butterflies are dyed different colors. Sometimes, the workload cannot be completed in time because the foul smell from the stored feathers causes nausea and headaches. The noxious feathers also cause rashes, itching, and swelling of the face, hands, and body.

In 2004, the second and fifth divisions of the labor camp brought in various colored feathers from different birds and forced Falun Gong practitioners to make artificial birds. The dyes that came off the feathers had a very bad smell. After breathing in the dust from the dyed feathers, practitioners' spit turned red. The dust caused nausea, headaches and vomiting, and the practitioners' urine even had a slight red color. Because the butterflies were made for export and they feared being exposed, the authorities assigned practitioners to wrap the butterflies in small boxes. Only the large boxes were addressed. Practitioners were not allowed to pack the large boxes. When packing the small boxes, practitioners placed a piece of truth clarification material in nearly every box. Overseas practitioners and people with righteousness, please pay attention to these products. They are evidence of forced labor.

In the last six years, the Heizuizi Women's Labor Camp of Changchun City has illegally detained several thousand Falun Gong practitioners. It has employed inhumane and despicable means to torture determined practitioners, including: shocking them with 10,000 volt electric batons, sleep deprivation, allowing no bathroom time, no visitation from family members, and forbidding writing letters home or calling home.

Often, five or six people took turns punching and kicking practitioners. Practitioners were forced to watch videos and read books that slandered Falun Gong. Some practitioners were locked in solitary confinement. Some were forced to sit on a small stool for 17 or 18 hours with a fixed posture. Many people's buttocks were sore and bleeding and their legs were paralyzed from sitting on the small stool.

Under the brutal torture of prison guards and the "collaborator"", some practitioners became mentally unstable, sick, disabled, or even died.

Mr. Li Qing, 77 years old, was a retired worker in the Yuanbaoshan area of Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia. He was in poor health before he started the practice of Falun Gong, suffering from severe gastric disease, with lumps in his stomach. He had taken medicine for a long time. After Mr. Li started practicing Falun Gong in 1996, his health improved dramatically and he completely recovered. After the persecution of Falun Gong started on July 20, 1999, Mr. Li lost his cultivation environment, however, and his health deteriorated. At the end of September 2000, his practitioner daughter's home was ransacked by the authorities. This elderly man suffered both physically and mentally, and died on January 6, 2001.

Zhang Quanrong, 72 years old, lived in Baiting Village in Jiangcun Township, Fugou County, Henan Province. He began practicing Falun Gong in 1997. After July 20, 1999, 610 Office personnel, along with police from his local police station and the local village government employees harassed him on many occasions to try to get him to stop his practice. He suffered tremendously both mentally and physically from the persecution and died in March 2001.

Mr. Wen Guoqing, 64 years old, lived in Qing'an County, Heilongjiang Province. His wife also practices Falun Gong. Government personnel harassed his family frequently and also extorted money from them and intimidated them. He suffered both in body and mind. He also saw his wife arrested on numerous occasions. Under the huge mental pressure of this persecution, Mr. Wen died in March 2001.

Ms. Ou Xiangyuan, 55 years old, lived at Farm Number 852 in Baoqing County, Heilongjiang Province. At the end of 2000, she went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Gong. When she was passing through Shanhaiguan City, Ms. Ou was illegally arrested and persecuted by police officers who snarled at her, saying, "Look, killing you is the same as killing a warehouse mouse!" Ms. Ou was detained and sent to the Harbin Provincial Hospital, where her personal freedom was limited under the guise of "treatment." She died on April 23, 2001.

Mr. Zhang Lianmao, 65 years old, lived in the Shuangyashan Mine in Heilongjiang Province. He began to practice Falun Gong in 1997 and enjoyed good health. After July 20, 1999, mine officials took Mr. Zhang from his home to an office, where they threatened to reduce his wages and cut off the income he needed to survive. Due to frequent harassment by these people, Zhang Lianmao died on October 12, 2000.

Ms. Wang Shulan, 66 years old, was a resident of Shuangyashan City, Heilongjiang Province. Before July 20, 1999, when she studied Dafa and did the exercises every day, she was very healthy and full of energy. After the persecution of Falun Gong started, she did the exercises secretly and studied the Fa only at home. Ms. Wang became very anxious under these circumstances and died in June 2005.

Ms. Zhou Yueqiu was a resident of Siping City, Jilin Province. She suffered severe diabetes before practicing Falun Gong. After starting to practice, she regained her good health. This elderly woman had lived on her own, but after the persecution began on July 20, 1999, she could no longer do so and moved to her son's home. On December 6, 2004, the police suddenly came and pounded on her door. The tremendous fright from this intrusion caused an illness that eventually led to Ms. Zhou's death on April 19, 2005.

Ms. Chen Shuxian, 64 years old, was a Falun Gong practitioner in Hutoushi Village, Daoerdeng Township, Lingyuan City, Liaoning Province. She learned about Dafa and started practicing in 1997. After the persecution started, she went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Gong on July 20, 1999. In October 1999, Ms. Chen went to Beijing to appeal again. She was brought back by the police and sentenced to a labor camp for two years. She was detained and persecuted in Masanjia Forced Labor Camp. After Chen Shuxian returned home, personnel from various government offices harassed her many times. Ms. Chen died in May 2004.

Ms. Xuan Yajie, 75 years old, was a practitioner in Bainiuqun Village, Yangzhangzi Township, Lingyuan City, Liaoning Province. She started practicing Falun Gong in 1998. After the persecution started on July 20, 1999, her son and daughter, who are also practitioners, went out to tell people the truth about Dafa. The police abducted and persecuted them, bringing about enormous mental anguish to Xuan Yajie. She passed away in October 2000.

Ms. Guo Xiangzhen, 83 years old, was from Boli County, Heilongjiang Province. She began to practice Falun Gong in 1997. Before practicing, she suffered from serious cardiovascular disease and many other illnesses. After she began practicing, all her diseases disappeared. In 2002, government personnel abducted Ms. Guo's practitioner son and daughter-in-law, persecuting them brutally. They also began to harass her family on a regular basis. Frightened and under great mental stress, Ms. Guo died in November 2003.

Mr. Jiangzhen, 72 years old, was a practitioner in Dalvquan Village, Guliu District, Laiyang City. After July 20, 1999, he was harassed and threatened many times by government personnel. Mr. Jiangzhen passed away on May 11, 2002.

Ms. Zhang Yuxian was 77 years old. She suffered from many kinds of diseases before starting to practice Falun Gong. Her health was restored after she took up the practice in 1997. At that time, she told everyone she met about the goodness of Dafa and advised them to learn the practice. After the evil persecution was launched in July 1999, government personnel abducted her family members, also Dafa practitioners, and started dropping in unexpectedly to harass her. As a result, she suffered greatly, both mentally and physically, and her old diseases recurred. Ms. Zhang died on February 14, 2005.
