Facts of the Persecution

1) Jilin City practitioner Zhang Shousheng describes the persecution that he experienced in police stations and labor camps:

On November 24, 2000, police from Yushugou Police Station in Jilin City arrested me on charges of "illegal gathering" when I was visiting a fellow practitioner. They put me in Huanxiling Labor Camp in Jilin first, then in Baiquan Labor Camp in Liaoyuan City, and then in Chaoyanggou Labor Camp in Changchun City. The persecution that I received was extremely cruel, but I always followed the teachings of Dafa and kept a righteous mind. I recited Dafa texts, and clarified the truth about Falun Gong to people. The savage torture that I suffered during the two years did not affect my determination to practice Falun Dafa, and the one-month extension to my detention term did not alter my strong belief.

2) Practitioner Huang Xin, a 50-year-old retired worker from Huanggu District Clinic of the Shenbei Hospital, of the Shenyang Railway District Bureau, went to Beijing twice to appeal for Falun Dafa in 1999, and was arrested and persecuted by the local police. She was kept in a detention center until 2002, and was released only when she was so weakened by the persecution that her life was in danger. In September 2003, Huang's company reported her to the police and they arrested her when she went to the company to pick up her retirement pension. She was secretly sentenced to 8 years in prison by Heping District Court in Shenyang City, and put in Squadron Six of the Ninth Team in Liaoning Province Women's Prison. The police put her into the prison hospital about three months ago. Huang's physical condition is very serious now due to constant persecution and abuse. She has suffered a mental collapse.

3) Practitioner Li Fengmei is a model teacher in Yingkou City, Liaoning Province. She was abducted, detained and forced to go through brainwashing many times. Her house has been repeatedly ransacked, forcing her to flee from home and leave her family behind. Once, in the summer of 2001, the police from the "610 Office"(1) abducted her while she was lecturing at school. Her students went on strike to protest her arrest. The school offered to bail her out, and students' parents appealed for her. The police yielded to the pressure and let her go. In August 2002, they arrested Li again in Yingkou City and sent to a brainwashing class, where they tried to force her to have an abortion after learning that she was pregnant. They sent a police car to her house and watched her, but Ms. Li managed to escape one night by jumping the fence and has stayed away from home ever since. On the Eve of the Chinese New Year in 2003, they found out where Ms. Li lived and broke into her residence. She jumped from the third floor window, breaking her collarbone and suffering an inch-long cut to her face. They brought her to the police station, where she repeatedly explained the facts about Falun Gong. At midnight, the police guarding her went to sleep after cuffing her and another male practitioner to a bench. In spite of her serious injury, Ms. Li managed to remove her hand from the handcuffs, and miraculously escaped. However, she was discovered again in her newly rented apartment and was captured. They kept her in the Third Detention Center in Boquan for one year, and sentenced her to four years in prison recently.

4) Practitioner Li Chunli from Huludao City, Liaoning Province went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa in 2000, and was arrested and sent back to her hometown, and detained for 47 days. In 2001, she went to Beijing to appeal again and to distribute truth clarification materials, and was arrested and sentenced to two years in jail. She was totally deprived of her human rights. She was abused mentally and physically and was forced to do hard labor.

I was kept in a detention center for 50 days and fined 5,000 Yuan before I was released. During the period of the 16^th National Party Congress in 2002, the police forcibly abducted me and kept me for three months, during which time they almost killed me with torture.

Ms. Huang Xiaohui went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong five times; she was arrested five times and sentenced to a forced labor camp once. She was persecuted simply for wanting to be a good person and for believing in "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance."
