Facts of the Persecution

1. Torture of Falun Dafa Practitioner Ms. Yang Huixia from Jilin Province

Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Yang Huixia from Jilin province is 36 years old, and is jailed in the Fourth Ward of the Jilin Province Women's Prison. On March 7, 2002, at around 8:00 a.m., Ms. Yang Huixia and two other fellow practitioners were arrested and taken to the Tongjiang Police Substation in Changyi District, Jilin City, Jilin Province. Two young police officers named Xing and Xiaohui (gender unknown) interrogated them using torture. They handcuffed Ms. Yang to the top of a metal door frame at around 8:00 p.m., with her toes barely touching the ground. She was handcuffed very tightly, which caused extreme pain throughout her body. At midnight, police officer Xiaohui covered her mouth and nose with a plastic bag, which quickly caused her to pass out. They suffocated Ms. Yang repeatedly, causing her to pass out more than 50 times that night. She was left hanging until after 10:00 a.m. the following morning, and then taken to the Third Detention Center.

2. Police in Zeng City, Guangdong Province Abuse Falun Dafa Practitioner Mr. Feng Bingkun

On February 21, 2005, Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Feng Bingkun was arrested and then put on trial on April 26. Only Mr. Feng's older brother was allowed to attend the court proceedings, and Mr. Feng Bingkun was not allowed to defend himself or hire an attorney. Mr. Feng's family, including his parents, siblings, and parents-in-law were put under surveillance and constantly harassed and threatened by police officers from Long Town, Zeng City between February 21 and April 26. Policemen also stole Mr. Feng's family motorcycle, their only possession that was worth any money. The police not only refused to issue a receipt, they made up a blatant lie that the motorcycle was "junked," in order to take possession of it.

Upon returning to his cell, prisoner Han Zhiqiang (male) kicked and punched him several times in the legs, chest, back, lower back, and arms.
