Add Panjin Prison to "The First Group of Facilities Targeted for Investigation and Evidence Collection"

(Clearwisdom.net) This article is related to the first investigative and evidence collection announcement, published on April 12, 2006. It relates specifically to the Liaoning Province section of the "Announcement: Coalition to Investigate the Persecution Announces the First Group of Facilities Targeted for Investigation and Evidence Collection."

Masanjia Forced Labor Camp, Dalian City Forced Labor Camp, Longshan Forced Labor Camp in Shenyang City, Shenxin Forced Labor Camp in Shenyang City, Fushun City Forced Labor Camp (Wujiabao Forced Labor Camp), Liaoyang Forced Labor Camp, Yingkou City Forced Labor Camp, Dandong Forced Labor Camp, Zhangshi Forced Labor Camp in Shenyang City, Fuxin City Forced Labor Camp, Benxi Forced Labor Camp, Huludao Forced Labor Camp, Panjin City Forced Labor Camp, Tieling City Forced Labor Camp, Guanshan Forced Labor Camp in Changtu County, Wangtun Forced Labor Camp in Jinzhou City, Anshan City Forced Labor Camp, Chaoyang City Forced Labor Camp, Shenyang Prison City of Liaoning Province (includes No. 1, No.2, and No.3 Prison of Shenyang City and Liaoning Province Women's Prison), Huazi Prison in Liaoyang City, Caibei Prison, No. 1 Prison of Lingyuan City, Wafangdian City Prison, and hospitals connected with the above forced labor camps and prisons.

We noticed that Panjin Prison was not listed. From what we know of the past several years, especially the recent two years, Panjin Prison has detained quite a large number of Falun Gong practitioners. This suggests that Panjin Prison is a significant place concerning the persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners by the Jiang and Luo Group. We request that the "Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong in China (CIPFG)" include Panjin Prison in the aforementioned investigation and evidence collection list. We want to assure that the inhuman persecution in Panjin is being investigated. We ask your understanding for not having shared this information any earlier.

Although this is the beginning of the investigation and thus complete numbers are not available, we are quite positive that Falun Gong practitioners from Panjin City are separated and detained at Panjin Prison, Fushun Prison, Jinzhou Nanshan Prison, Shenyang Prison City (including Liaoning Women's Prison, etc.), Masanjia Forced Labor Camp, Benxi Forced Labor Camp, Liaoning Shenxin Forced Labor Camp, and other areas. At this time, there are no practitioners at the Panjin City Forced Labor Camp. The last practitioner to be transferred out was Zou Liming, a practitioner from Panjin. Zou Liming was transferred to Benxi Force Labor Camp in May 2005.
