2. [Beijing] Bai Shaohua and Li Hailin Held in Concentration Brigade at Tuanhe Forced Labor Camp Since April 27
Falun Gong practitioners held in the No. 3 Brigade of the Tuanhe Forced Labor Camp in Beijing staged a group protest against their illegal confinement on April 27, 2004. Bai Shaohua and Li Hailin have been locked up in the Concentration Brigade since April 27.
According to reliable sources, Bai Shaohua has been on a hunger strike for many days. The police resorted to extreme measures in order to wear down the practitioners' determination. The practitioners were forced to sit on wooden boards for twenty hours a day, with only four hours of sleep. Practitioners' family members made attempts to visit them at the forced labor camp and the Administration Bureau numerous times since April 27. However, the authorities refused to let the families visit practitioners, their stated reasoning being that the Falun Dafa practitioners "have violated relevant regulations and are being punished. While they are in ‘training' in the Concentration Brigade, no visits are allowed." The officials also refused to answer how long the "training" would last. The practitioners are in an extremely difficult situation and the authorities have done everything they could to block any possible leakage of information from within the labor camp.
In addition, Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Yu Ming has been transferred to the Xin'an Women's Forced Labor after being held in custody at the dispatch center for over half a year since November 2003.
