My name is Qiao Hongxia. I am a 44-year-old practitioner from Shulan City, Jilin Province. Since July 20, 1999, Shulan City Police Department and Tiedong Police Station agents have harassed me at my home many times, greatly tormenting my family and me mentally and physically.
Jilin Liaison Office police in Beijing arrested me on February 27, 2000, when I had traveled there to appeal for Falun Gong. I was shut in their basement and had to submit to a body search. They did not give me anything to eat. I was eventually held for two weeks at the Nanshan Detention Center in Shulan.
On June 5, 2004, Tiedong Police Station agent Yu Guohui, together with five officers from the Domestic Security Division, ransacked my home. They took Falun Gong lecture tapes and books. I was detained for 85 days and put into a labor camp for one year. Because while at the camp I refused to write a letter to abandon Falun Gong practice, the guards incited criminals to beat and kick me. My thigh was black and blue.

Meng Xiangfa
My name is Meng Xiangfa, and I am 57 years old. I was laid off from the Shulan Mining Bureau Chemical Plant. I used to live in the mine's downtown area but now live in the Jishu District, Shulan City.

On March 14, 2002, local police station head Sun Guangyu and police officers Sun Yuku and Lin Shanying jumped over a wall into our yard and arrested my wife, Shao Guizhi, and me. I was taken to Nanshan Detention Center the next day, and my wife was sent to a detention center for 15 days. I was persecuted in the detention center for 47 days. Then they transported me to Chaoyanggou Labor Camp in Changchun City, where I was grossly abused for two years. My unemployment pension was stopped for one year.
While at the labor camp, I wasn't allowed to speak with other practitioners. I had to sit on a small stool more than 14 hours daily and had to do intensive hard labor. They often incited criminals to beat and verbally abuse practitioners. They tried to "reform" us by depriving us of sleep. The officials used all kinds of tactics to torture us to achieve their goals, frequently using electric batons to shock us, beating and kicking us, depriving us of sleep, and extending our terms. My term was extended by 43 days.
I asked the division head why my term was extended. He ordered the criminals to carry me off and made me sit on a stool. Team head Chen took me to the interrogation room. Guards Fan, Chen, and Wang beat me down to the floor and kicked me until I was unconscious. When I came to, my face swollen, my teeth were loose, and I was shut into a solitary confinement cell. During that time, the police also arrested my wife. After I had returned home, the police came to my home many times to harass me and greatly hurt my family. Their actions had a bad impact on my children. I just cannot describe the pain and suffering we have been subjected to over the past ten years.
