3. Tiexi District Court in Shenyang City unlawfully sentences 65-year-old man to 4 years in jail for clarifying the truth

Shi Shengying, 65, was unlawfully arrested by Tiexi District police on the night of November 30, 2004, because he was clarifying the truth of Falun Gong in Xinghua Park, Tiexi District, Shenyang City. He is currently jailed in Shenyang City Detention Center. He was tried by Tiexi District Court on January 31, 2005. Because of the condemnation from his family and the audience, the court secretly sentenced him to 4 years in jail without any written documents.

Shi Shengying went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong in October 1999, and was unlawfully detained in the Ziqiang Women's School, Shenyang City, and Longshan Forced Labor Camp in Shenyang City.

Since January 2001, he had been jailed in Masanjia Forced Labor Camp for two years, and his sentence was extended twice because he refused to renounce his belief. In the labor camp, he suffered all kinds of torture. He was forced to stand for long time, he was locked on an iron frame, and he was tied on the tiger bench. His mouth was gagged with dirty cloth and tape, and policemen grabbed him by the hair and banged his head against the wall. He was beaten with an electric baton and jailed in a solitary compartment. Due to harsh conditions at the labor camp, he developed scabies and his skin bled and discharged pus. When the policemen banged his head against the wall, he suffered a concussion and vomited. He developed serious heart disease, so the labor camp released him to avoid bearing the responsibility if he were to die. On August 25, 2003, Shi Shengying was abducted from home and taken to the brainwashing class in Zhangshi Forced Labor Camp, Shenyang City, by authorities from Yunfeng Street Committee and Yunfeng Police Station in Tiexi District.

4. The situation of practitioners persecuted in Wangcun Forced Labor Camp, Shandong Province

There are five steadfast practitioners in the Second Women's Labor Camp in Wangcun, Zibo City, Shandong Province.

Guards poured cold water down the neck of her shirt. She always faces the evil persecution calmly and speaks out from her heart.

Sun Aiqun, from Fushan County, Yantai City is very brave and dignified. Many people have benefited from her. She always points out the crimes of the guards and collaborators, making them speechless. The guards forced her to stay awake and stand for three months.

Dai Fulian, from Laiyang City, was tortured for so long that her feet became too swollen to walk. Guards sent her to the third male labor camp and forced her husband to try to "transform" her, but she refused to renounce her belief.

Jiang Cuie, 60, is from Rushan County, Weihai City. She was jailed and tortured in the solitary compartment. Her own sister was assigned to monitor and brainwash her. Her spine was injured so that her back had to bend to a 90-degree angle due to starvation, long-term forced-standing, and sleep deprivation. Her sister, under the evil control, viciously beat her. She was released and her body recovered after she returned home.

Xue Yuchun, 40, is from Huangdao. Her hair turned gray and her body became emaciated due to the torture she suffered. Her toenails turned gray and bent upwards due to the long-term forced-standing.
