- Falun Dafa practitioner Zhang Zhao, male, is a teacher at Zhangye Medical School (now called "Zhangye Advanced Medical Training School". In March of 2002, he was sent to Labor Camp No. 1 of Gansu
Province, also known as the Pingantai Labor Camp, for illegal
"reeducation" through labor. He was confined to group No. 1, team
No. 1, of the No. 2 brigade. To force Zhang to write a pledge letter, the
guards incited drug addict inmates in the group to punch and kick him. They
also stripped him, forced him to stand outdoors, and poured cold water on
him. Zhang Zhao's entire body was swollen and covered with black and purple
bruises from the torture. In less than a week he became incontinent and
suffered a serious mental breakdown. Afterwards, he was sent to Lanzhou City Labor Reeducation Hospital (a.k.a. Kangfu Hospital). Seven days later, he was brought back to Pingantai and was put under 24-hour close watch.
- Falun Dafa practitioner Guo Guangli, male, is over 30 years old. He works
in the No. 5 Construction Company of Tianshui City, Gansu Province. Because
he appealed to higher authorities, he was sent to team No. 1, of the No. 2
brigade of the Ping'antai Labor Camp for illegal "reeducation"
through labor. Because he refused to stop practicing Falun Gong, thereby
spoiling the bonus given to team No. 1, he was beaten and tortured with
cruel instruments at the end of 2001. The resulting injury to one leg left
him crippled. Other practitioners beaten at that time included Wu Jingru and
Wang Fulun.
- Ma Yuefen, male, 46 years old, is a Falun Dafa practitioner from Jinchang
City, Gansu Province. He was arrested in March 2002 and illegally sentenced
to three years of "reeducation" through labor. On June 18, 2002,
he was sent to the No. 3 brigade of the Ping'antai Labor Camp. Upon his
arrival, guards instigated criminals led by Ma Chenglin to beat him all
night, resulting in a bone fracture in his left foot, which made it
difficult for him to walk. Still, the guards denied his request for a leave
and forced him to do hard labor, claiming that he feigned the injury.
After Ma Yuefen was arrested, a fire was purposely set in front of the door
to his home, yet police and firefighters on the scene would not put it out.
Instead, in an attempt to frame Falun Dafa, they claimed that Ma started the
fire to burn his own two children.
Over a dozen practitioners are still detained in the No. 3 brigade of the
Ping'antai Labor Camp.
