(Clearwisdom.net) The perpetrators at Division 1 of the Fushun City Police Department have been persecuting Falun Gong practitioners since July 20, 1999. One police officer said to a practitioner, "Each one of us has to kill three Falun Gong practitioners to meet the quota. You are the first for me. What would you think if I poured gasoline on you and claimed that you burned yourself?"

Falun Gong practitioners Li Ying and Wang Xiuxia died from torture at Division 1. Torture has disabled many more Falun Gong practitioners including, Li Ying (different Chinese words from the previously mentioned Li Ying), Wu Xiaoyan, Sun Yongli and Wang Youcai.

The basement at the White Building on West Shilu Road at Huanleyuan in the Xinfu District, where the police department is located, is a torture chamber where perpetrators from Division 1 of the Fushun City Police Department torment the practitioners. It was learned that there is another secret torture room at the Youyi Hotel. Both of these rooms hold various torture tools. "Splitting the legs" and "hang-up" are the two most commonly used torture methods. "Splitting the legs" can result in excruciating pain and loss of function of the lower limbs; "hang-up" means the perpetrators force the practitioner's arms behind his/her back and hang him/her up by the twisted arms. This torture often causes permanent disability.

Some perpetrators handcuff the practitioners to metal chairs and don't allow them to sleep for a whole night. They then torture practitioners during interrogation. They hammered bamboo sticks into practitioner Miao Shuqing's fingernails and stuck toothpicks into two of his fingers; the scars are visible to this day. While beating and torturing the practitioners, police officer Guan Yong screamed, "I'm not afraid of hell! Am I not living well right now? Ha!"

In 2000, practitioners Dou Zhenyang and Wang Hongjun were falsely charged with "attempting to overturn a train." The police tortured one of the practitioners with a method called "crossing the forest" until he admitted to a crime he didn't commit. He was illegally sentenced to life in prison and was held in the Linyuan Prison.

On December 16, 2000, more than 60 Dafa practitioners from Fushun City shared their experiences at a practitioner's home. The National Security Bureau got wind of the meeting by tapping practitioners' phones and sent more than 150 police officers to arrest the practitioners, accusing them of "illegal gathering and doing Falun Gong exercises." They sent the practitioners to forced labor camps and custody centers. In the evening, they ransacked the practitioners' homes and took away Dafa books and videotapes. Practitioners Zheng Hong, Ren Yi, Jiang Guofang, Ma Hongxia, Sun Yongsheng, Ma Huaidong, Huang Gang, Lu Hong, Hou Jun, Hu Guojian, Gao Jian, Qi Shaowen and Liu Helun were among the persecuted practitioners. Practitioners Huang Gang and Hu Guojian were savagely tortured at Division 1 of the Fushun City Police Department and sentenced to heavy prison terms.

Practitioner Ms. Li Ying was arrested before the 2001 Chinese New Year (in January) and was ruthlessly tortured. As a result, her right arm atrophied and she could not take care of herself. She was later secretly sentenced to 11 years in prison and was sent to the Dabei Prison. The prison refused to accept her because she could not take care of herself. The perpetrators from Fushun City went through their connections and bribed certain officials to make the Dabei Prison authorities accept Li Ying.

She was sentenced to 10 years in prison and was sent to the Liaoning Province Women's Prison, but the prison authorities refused to accept her because she was gravely ill.
