1. [Changchun City, Jilin Province] Wang Peng Suffers Six Months of Excruciating Torture

On March 7, 2005, Li Xingtao, deputy leader from the No. 4 Division, the National Security Team and the Changchun City Police Department led a group of more than ten policemen to "illegally arrest" practitioner Wang Peng at the Changchun City Automobile Factory. Wang Peng was later interrogated at the No. 1 Division, Changchun City Police Department while being tortured. He was deprived of sleep for five days in a row. After being tortured for over 40 days at the police department, Wang Peng was transferred to the Tiebei District No. 1 Detention Center, Changchun City. Wang Peng and several other practitioners there staged a hunger strike and resisted the persecution. They were later brutally force-fed. Personnel at the detention center inserted a tube through their nostrils into their stomachs and administered a cold, high-density saline solution. As an even more cruel torture, the police put Mr. Wang in a straitjacket. (Several Falun Gong practitioners have already been killed by being immobilized in straitjackets at the Shibalihe Forced Labor Camp in Henan Province).

Wang Peng has been held for over six months now and is extremely weak. His family members haven't been allowed to visit him. The authorities fabricated a crime to frame Mr. Wang. Zhang Nan from the Archive Office, Procuratorate Bureau, No. 1 Automobile Factory not only refused to release Wang Peng but also sent Wang Peng's file twice to the No. 7 Team, No. 1 Division of the Changchun City Police Department, as so-called supplemental evidence.

2. [Wuhan City, Hubei Province] Practitioners Shang Yuping and Sun Jinfang Suffer Severe Torture at the No. 1 Women's Detention Center

Police from the No. 1 Division of the Jianghan District Police Department arrested five practitioners from Wuhan City, including Shang Yuping and Sun Jinfang. Three days later, Shang Yuping and Sun Jinfang were transferred to the Wuhan City No. 1 Women's Detention Center and have been held there to date. During that period of time, Sun Jinfang staged a hunger strike to protest her unlawful detention and was so violently force-fed that she lost several teeth. She is now extremely weak and is unable to do any work; however, the guards said "she was just pretending" and forced her to work. A guard by the last name of Jin is an extremely vicious person and incites inmates to beat practitioners at will.

At present, Sun Jinfang is manifesting symptoms of serious ill health.

3. [Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province] Police Arrest Liu Li from Home

At around 6:00 a.m. on Friday, September 23, 2005, a group of policemen suddenly surrounded practitioner Liu Li's home in Changxi, Longfeng District, Daqing City. Liu Li refused to open the door. The police called a locksmith and then forcibly opened door and ransacked the place. They turned everything upside down in all the rooms, including the balcony. They confiscated a computer, a printer and some office supplies. Liu Li was so traumatized that she fainted. The police called an ambulance to send her to the Daqing City No. 5 Hospital. Later they took Liu Li directly to the Longfeng District Police Station for interrogation. At present, Liu Li is being held at the Daqing City Detention Center. Her family members are not allowed to visit her and her situation is unknown. Plainclothes policemen are patrolling around her home, and whoever goes to her home will be questioned.

Liu Li used to be an employee of the Longfeng Baojie Cleaning Company, Wanlong Property, Daqing City Oil & Chemistry Company. She is an honest and pure-hearted person. She was once awarded the title of "Outstanding Worker." After the persecution against Falun Dafa started, she didn't give up her belief in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and persisted in clarifying the truth of Falun Dafa to people. Ms. Liu was held in detention for over a month. As she refused to give up Falun Dafa cultivation, Liu Li lost her job in 2000. In addition, personnel from her place of employment and from the local police station periodically harassed her, in person or by phone. In April 2004, Liu Li opened a small childcare center. She loves children very much, so lots of children call her "Mommy." Because of her sincere hard work, her business thrived. In addition to Liu Li, the authorities also arrested Feng Ying whom she had hired to assist in her daycare business. Feng Ying was released later, on the same afternoon of the arrest. Her childcare center was forced to close. Almost 30 children left reluctantly.

4. [Anqiu City, Shandong Province] Liu Ruiyou Arrested; Police Officials Ransack Home

At around 11:00 a.m. on October 8, 2005, six policemen arrested Falun Dafa practitioner Liu Ruiyou from Huangqipu in Anqiu City and ransacked the practitioner's home. Liu Ruiyou was taken to the Huangqipu Police Station. The police confiscated a computer, an ink-jet printer and a laser printer, seven boxes of printing paper, one box of self-adhesive paper, a paper cutter, a box of ink, a lamination machine, four tape recorders, a Falun Dafa truth-clarification tape, Falun Dafa books, and all the cash in the home. Liu Ruiyou's family was trying to stop them, but a low-ranking police officer in charge said, "We will take anything!"

5. [Jingmen City, Hubei Province] Former Falun Gong Practice Site Contact Person Meng Xianglong Still Under House Arrest

On June 21, 2005 Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Meng Xianglong from Jingmen City, who was just released after serving a five-year sentence, was taken away again by personnel from the 610 Office. They sent him to the Wuhan City Brainwashing Class because they insisted he had not given up the practice of Falun Gong. Ten days later, Mr. Meng was sent back home, but there was no freedom for him since the police monitored him around the clock. Once, Meng Xianglong sent some cash to a relative at a local post office. A few days later, his relative replied that he hadn't received the money. The Meng family went to inquire at the post office, but personnel there answered, "The police took the money away as soon as he left." When they asked at the police department, the police said, "We will monitor Meng Xianglong's every action."

Meng Xianglong was an official at the Local Tax Administration Bureau in Jingmen City, but he has been fired because he practices Falun Dafa.

6. [Liangshan Area, Sichuan Province] 610 Office Authorities Keep Trying to Sentence Eight Practitioners

On May 26, 2005, when eight Falun Dafa practitioners, including He Xianqun, Mao Kaiming, and Lu Zhengguo, from Xichang City in the Liangshan area went to rural Leibo County to clarify the truth of Falun Gong and distribute the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, personnel from the local State Security Department arrested them. In June, the State Security Department submitted "incriminating evidence" to the Leibo County Procuratorate Department, but the prosecutor rejected the case due to insufficient evidence. In August, the State Security Department submitted the incident to the prosecutor again, but it was rejected the second time because of insufficient evidence. Personnel from the Liangshan area 610 Office and from the Police Department have reported the case to the Provincial Government for processing.

7. [Pingyi County, Shandong Province] Married Couple Zhang Yuzhi and Pei Linying Arrested and Their Home Ransacked

During the afternoon of August 14, 2005, a white car stopped in front of the home of practitioner Mr. Zhang Yuzhi in Shangshenjiawa Village, Liuyu Town, Pingyi County, Linyi City, Shandong Province. Four plainclothes officers in their 40s came out of the car and walked into Zhang Yuzhi's home under the pretext of asking for driving directions. They talked with Zhang Yuzhi's wife Ms. Pei Linying, and then all of sudden, before the couple realized what was happening, they dragged the couple into a car. The four plainclothes policemen turned the couple's home upside down. They confiscated Falun Dafa books, some truth-clarifying materials, Pei Linying's August salary card worth 2,000 yuan, a bank deposit book worth over 5,000 yuan, 3,200 yuan in cash, a compact size audio tape player and a radio receiver. The gang took the couple to the Liuyu Town Police Station. They handcuffed the couple for a whole night. They then sent the couple to the Pingyi County Detention Center. Pei Linying has been on a hunger strike for 15 days since her arrest, to protest the unlawful detention. Later, she was sent to the Jinan City Forced Labor Camp. Zhang Yuzhi was put under house arrest and was extorted out of 5,000 yuan.

On October 8, though practitioner Hu Zhehui could not take care of herself because of the torture she suffered, the perpetrators sent her to the Shenyang City Women's Prison Complex. The prison refused to admit her because of her bad health (heart problems, high blood pressure, and hyper-cholesterol). Thus, she was sent back to the Panjin City Detention Center.
