Facts of the Persecution

1. Senior Teacher in Huanggang City, Hubei Province Exposes Atrocities at Baimalong Forced Labor Camp in Zhuzhou City

My name is Liu Juhua, I am 58 years old and I am a senior teacher at Chibi Middle School in Huanggang City, Hubei Province. I was sent to Baimalong Forced Labor Camp in Zhuzhou City, Hunan Province on July 29, 2004, because I persisted in practicing Falun Gong and in being a good person according to Truth-Compassion-Forbearance. The guards didn't allow me to sleep for 312 hours. Because of this brutal torture, I had hallucinations and spoke incoherently; my arms moved involuntarily and I saw flowers, grass and valleys on the floor tiles; I drooled and my back was bent at 90 degree and I could not straighten up. I had a nervous breakdown. Among the three practitioners detained in my room, one practitioner, Yang Jusheng, was forced to squat for six days and six nights. She was not allowed to go to the toilet. Her feet were severely swollen and the swelling spread to her chest. She eventually lost function in both legs. Another practitioner, Liu Muhong, was hung up while being handcuffed for more than 30 days, during which time she was not allowed to sleep or use the toilet.

2. The persecution of Dafa practitioner Wang Yan and his wife, Li Yueran, in Hebei Province

Practitioner Wang Yan is currently being held at the No. 4 Prison of Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province. Up until the end of March 2005, he had been deprived of sleep for more than 10 days; he was held in solitary confinement and was attacked by numerous criminal inmates, who pried his eyes open and scrubbed his eyes with toothbrushes when he nodded off. Since February 8, 2004, when Wang Yan was abducted in Baoding City, he has held a hunger strike for 221 days in protest of his illegal arrest and abuse. Yang Zhimin is the deputy head of the Shijiazhuang City Prison Bureau. He harassed Wang Yan three times and forced Mr. Wang to write a guarantee statement when he was on the brink of a mental collapse. Mr. Wang announced that the guarantee statement was void immediately after he came to his senses. Recently, the perpetrators have become worried that Wang Yan has returned to validating Dafa, and they intensified the persecution. Wang Yan's wife, Li Yueran, is currently being held at the No. 2 Prison of Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province. She is very determined and she held a very long hunger strike. Ms. Li is currently being detained in solitary confinement and is being watched by inmates.
