Facts of the Persecution

1. Practitioner Ms. Shao Shuwen from Tianjin City Is Sentenced to Two Years in Prison

Because Ms. Shao Shuwen is a widow, her family is dependent on her meager salary to survive. The first time she was sentenced to forced labor, a policeman deceived her while she was cooking a meal at home. She was sent to the detention center and immediately transferred to a labor camp. Her employer stopped paying her salary and her daughter, who was a high school student, had to go live at the school. She survived with help from friends and relatives. Ms. Shao was arrested a second time from her home in mid-April 2004. After school her daughter arrived home to find it ransacked and her mother missing. She had to stay at her neighbor's house. While in detention, Ms. Shao went on a hunger strike to protest her illegal abduction and was brutally force-fed, resulting in severe stomach bleeding, which endangered her life. She was detained until December 2004 and then sentenced to two years in prison. She is now incarcerated in the Tianjin Prison.

4. Persecution Facts on Practitioner Mr. Tao Yongwen

Mr. Tao Yongwen is a retiree from Yilan County, Heilongjiang Province. In the past several years, 610 Office personnel and police have often ransacked his home, stolen his possessions, and disturbed the peace. His wife divorced him because of the pressure. Officials have tried, but failed to force him to slander Falun Dafa publicly on TV, so they stopped paying his salary. In the spring of 2003, they ransacked his home again, took him to the county detention center, and sent him to three years of forced labor. He was tortured in the Changlinzi Labor Camp, which is located in Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province. His hearing deteriorated, his body was covered with bruises, and his ribs were fractured. He has been tied onto a tiger bench, had cold water poured over his body, and been shocked with two or three electric batons at the same time, until the batteries ran down. His physical condition rapidly deteriorated in less than one year's time while in custody. He often felt dizzy, and his blood pressure was elevated. He was eventually bailed out on a medical parole. The authorities still harass him at home, and his employer has also stopped his pension payments.
