(Clearwisdom.net) In the evening on August 14, 2008, in Liaoning Province, Wafangdian City, Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Cui Dejun's sister-in-law was arrested at gunpoint by the police from Dalian City and Wafangdian City. In the morning on August 15, Mr. Cui's fourth brother and his wife were also arrested at gunpoint by the police from Dalian City and Wafangdian City at the store they own. Another practitioner, Ms. Sun, who was working in the store, was also arrested. Another employee escaped arrest because she was not in the store at the time, but her home was ransacked.

On May 12, 2008, Mr. Cui Dejun, who was held in the No. 1 Division of the No. 1 Camp in Masanjia Forced Labor Camp, started a hunger strike to protest the illegal persecution. After 23 days, he became unconscious and then became incontinent for two days. The labor camp did nothing to treat him.

It is said that Mr. Cui successfully escaped from Masanjia Labor Camp on August 11, 2008. However, Mr. Cui's whereabouts and physical condition are currently unknown.

Mr. Cui Dejun was arrested by CCP officials in 2001 and sentenced to five years in prison. He suffered brutal tortures in the Shengyang No. 2 Prison, formally known as Shengyang Dabei Prison, which moved to the Shengyang City Prison Center in 2004. On July 9, 2007 he was arrested by officers from the Gongji Police Station and held in Wafangdian City Detention Center.

It is unknown when the Wafangdian City Detention Center started using a new torture method called the "Rack." The "Rack" consists of handcuffs and shackles that are welded to a ladder-shaped frame made with metal pieces as thick as a thumb. The top of the ladder frame is about 30 centimeters wide. The bottom of the frame is about 40 centimeters in width. It is about 50 centimeters tall. Once a person is subjected to this torture device, they can neither stand, lie, or sit straight. Mr. Cui and another elderly practitioner from Fuzhoucheng Town, Wafangdian City, were tortured with this device for many days when they were on a hunger strike. The guard who used this device to torture them is Chi Qingfa. The Division Head who approved the use of this device is Liu Lin. The head of the detention center is Zhang Hua and the political instructor's family name is Liang.

Mr. Cui had been held in the No. 5 Division at Dalian City Reeducation and Drug Rehabilitation Administration Bureau, which was also called Taishan Drug Rehabilitation Center. He was sent to Dalian Dadonggou in September 2007. Later he was sent to Masanjia Forced Labor Camp in Shengyang City where he suffered more abuse.
