Falun Dafa Practitioner Mr. Wu Junyang from Benxi City, Liaoning Province Recently Tortured to Death

(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Wu Junyang from Benxi City, Liaoning Province tragically died at the young age of 30. In 1999, he was sentenced to two years in a labor camp because he practiced Falun Dafa. After he was released from the labor camp, Mr. Wu was forced to become destitute and homeless for three years in order to avoid being illegally arrested at home. However, he was again arrested on September 16, 2004 by staff from the Benxi City Police Station and detained in a detention center.

Practitioner Nan Chuyan Tortured to Death in 2002, His Wife and Children Imprisoned

(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Nan Chuyan and his wife have two daughters and a son. They are from Wanggang County of Xishui City in Hubei Province. They began practicing Falun Dafa in 1997. Since applying the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance in every area of their lives, all their illnesses disappeared and the family has become known as having a high moral character. The whole family enjoyed peace and contentment, until Chinese dictator Jiang Zemin launched the persecution of Falun Gong on July 20, 1999. Mr. Nan Chuyan was arrested and sent to a forced labor camp for one year because he adhered to his beliefs and appealed to the government for the right to practice Falun Gong. The brutal torture and beatings he endured in the camp led to his death a month after his release in November of 2002.

An Account of the Brutal Crimes Committed by Wanjia Forced Labor Camp (Reenactment Photos)

(Clearwisdom.net)

On January 30, 2001, CCTV broadcast the Tiananmen self-immolation incident. That night, more than 200 male prison guards, headed by the deputy director of Wanjia Forced Labor Camp, Shi Yingbai, and brigade leader Zhang Buo, descended on the five sections of the camp where Falun Gong practitioners were illegally detained (each section containing about twenty Falun Gong practitioners who refused to give up the practice). They took all the practitioners to the corridor while beating and cursing at them. Some practitioners were thrown out into the corridor by a group of three guards, one grasping the hair and the other two holding the practitioner's thighs. The sound generated by electric batons, the prison guards' cursing and threats, and the sound of brutal beating, all mixed together. The prison guards tried to force Falun Gong practitioners to confess to fabricated charges. Over ten Falun Gong practitioners were put into confinement cells. The guards stopped only when all the confinement cells were filled up. One confinement cell is 2.5 meters long and 1.3 meters wide (8.2 ft. x 4.3 ft.), and each cell can hold two to three people.
