[Acheng City, Heilongjiang Province] Supplemental Materials to the Death Case of Bai Xiuhua

Ms. Bai Xiuhua was a Falun Gong practitioner in Acheng City, Heilongjiang Province. She was very firm and went to Beijing to appeal several times. She was detained in a detention center twice and was released after she went on hunger strike. In July 2002 she was arrested again and she went on hungers strike in the Acheng No. 2 detention center. Police instigated male inmates to force feed her. Her esophagus and trachea were both seriously injured after one month of forced feeding and caused suppuration. In August, police attempted to send her to the Wanjia labor camp but were refused by the labor camp. Then police sent her to the Wanjia Labor Camp Hospital and continued to force feed her. They bounded her limbs and gave her an injection. She couldn't spit out her phlegm during the injection so the phlegm flew everywhere, behind her neck, on the pillow and on the bed. The scene was miserable. She died two weeks later. Two days before she died, the hospital called the detention center and told them to have people come pick her up. However, nobody came to pick her up. At 11 p.m. that day, the detention center dispatched someone to come to pick up her remains. The guards said, "We do all these things on the basis of filed orders. Otherwise who would dare to let her die here?"

[Changchun City, Jilin Province] "610 Office" Sends Highly Educated Dafa Practitioners to Brainwashing Class

Recently, the Changchun "610 Office" sent several highly educated practitioners to the brainwashing class in Xinlongshan, Changchun. These practitioners are all highly educated intellectuals. Most of them are engineers ["610 Office is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong with absolute authority over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems].

[Wangjiang County, Anhui Province] The Director of the Political Security Office Persecutes Practitioners

Gao Zhong is the director of the Political Security Office in Wangjiang County, Anhui Province. He utilized his authority to amass wealth, construct a luxurious mansion and support his mistress. After July 20, 1999, he arrested many Falun Gong practitioners and forced their families to submit fines, bails, case process fees etc., each ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 yuan [500 yuan is the average monthly income for an urban Chinese worker]. In the past four years, he has collected a total of hundreds of thousands of yuan. Every time he gives receipts he uses the name of the Political Security Office.

Once the family member of a Falun Gong practitioner asked him to return the bail, he said shamelessly, "I need the money to process the cases." This family member said, "The government should supply the money for processing the cases." He viciously said, "The people in the police department are all fed by whores." Gao Zhong even utilized the excuse of investigating Falun Gong to go to Hefei City and have a good time. He went to Hefei, arrested a 70-year-old practitioner Ms. Su and searched her house with other local policemen. He snatched a gold watch, two bankbooks and 4,000 yuan in cash. Ms. Su was detained for one month and suffered inhumane persecution. After Su's family members came to Wangjiang, Gao Zhong forced them to cover his expenses and pay a large amount of money before he released Su.

Now it is likely that she is being held in a detention center.

[Panjin City, Liaoning Province] "Whoever Dares to Go Appeal Will Be Arrested Like a Falun Gong Practitioner"

There was another similar occurrence. A self-employed man in Dawa County had a dispute with the market administration department on the issue of rent that could not be solved locally. He appealed to the upper authorities level by level, however, no department received him. He had no place to appeal so he could only go to Beijing to appeal. Halfway there, he was intercepted by police and fined. Later, police officers threatened those who want to appeal, "Whoever dares to go appeal, will be arrested like a Falun Gong practitioner and sent to labor camp."
