The deaths of another 44 Falun Gong practitioners have been verified in September 2005. Since the CCP and Jiang's group launched the persecution of Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, to date 2,742 Falun Gong practitioners have died, most as a result of torture.
Among the 44 deaths, 24 were female practitioners, 550f the total; 31 practitioners were above 55 years of age, 700f the total; 24 practitioners died in 2005, among whom 7 died in September. According to statistics on the Minghui website, 360 Falun Gong practitioners died between January 2005 and September 2005.
The 44 cases are distributed across 12 provinces and autonomous regions. Eight deaths took place in Hebei Province, six deaths in Heilongjiang Province, six in Shandong Province, five in Liaoning Province, five in Sichuan Province, four deaths in Jilin Province, four deaths in Henan Province, two deaths in Guizhou Province, one in Gansu Province, one each in Hunan Province, Shaanxi Province and in the Guangxi Zhuang Ethnic Autonomous Region.
In the past six years, Falun Gong practitioners in Mainland China have been deprived of their right of freedom of belief, their right to appeal and to defend themselves in a court, and their right to express their opinion openly in society. Some practitioners were arrested, sentenced to prison or forced labor and tortured to death only because they told their neighbors or colleagues about Falun Gong's health benefits and the facts about the persecution.
Mr. Jia Junxi beaten to death in Henan Province; police threaten his family, "Nothing will happen, even if you sue us in Beijing"
Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Jia Junxi, 58 years old, lived in Qianxiaozhuang Village in Daxin Township, Fugou County, Henan Province. He was arrested on August 18, 2005 while clarifying the truth. Mr. Jia was tortured to death around August 29 at the county detention center. Jia Junxi was held in solitary confinement on August 28, where, on orders from the guards, four inmates beat him savagely. The solitary confinement cell door remained locked for the following 24 hours, and no one checked on Jia Junxi during this period. On August 30, the perpetrators sent Jia Junxi's stiff body to the county hospital in an attempt to cover up the crime of torture that killed him. The doctor asked, "Why are you bringing in a dead body?" The doctor refused to let the perpetrators bring the body into a ward, so they put Jia Junxi's body in the hallway. Around 6:00 p.m. on August 30, Jia Junxi's family received a death notice from the Fugou County Police Department. His family and some fellow villagers went to the hospital. They saw that Jia Junxi's teeth were clenched, his eyes wide open, one hand held in a tight fist, one leg was half bent, and his body was deformed. They confronted the perpetrators, "Why was he in such a wretched state? How did he die?" The police answered, "Heart attack." His family was suspicious and asked for an autopsy. The police said, "Nothing's going to happen even if you sue us in Beijing."
The police ignored the family's protests and cremated the body later that night. Jia Junxi's wife held the box with his ashes and said, "He left home a healthy person, and now he's a pile of ashes!"
Ms. Ren Shujie emaciated from torture, passes away
Ms. Ren Shujie, 42 years old, was a practitioner from the Tiexi District in Shenyang, Liaoning Province. She was the owner of a fabric shop in the Donghu Market, Yuhong District. Ms. Ren began to practice Falun Gong in 1998 and benefited mentally and physically. After she became a Falun Gong practitioner, Ms. Ren became honest and kind and enjoyed helping others. Her customers and the other shop owners regarded her as a good person.
Ren Shujie and her son
Because she clarified the truth about Falun Gong, Ren Shujie was arrested and illegally detained many times. On May 21, 2002, officers from the Zhonggong Police Station, under the Tiexi District Police Department in Shenyang, arrested Ren Shujie. The persecutors handcuffed her hands behind her back and slapped her face. They hit the back of her legs with large sticks and forced her to squat on the ground. Later on the persecutors sentenced her to three years of forced labor. She was detained in the Longshan Forced Labor Camp, where officials deprived her of sleep for seven consecutive nights, and policeman Tang Yubao used two electric batons and shocked her for thirty minutes.
During her detention in the forced labor camp, Ms. Ren had to do slave labor. They forced her to do extremely heavy manual labor. She began a hunger strike that lasted 64 days. In mid-June 2003 Ms. Ren told Tang Yubao to treat older practitioners kindly. Tang shocked her with an electric baton and kicked her. Ms. Ren's mouth was swollen, her eye sockets were bruised and swollen, her eyes were bloodshot, her face was disfigured, and her body was covered with bruises.
In March 22, 2004, Longshan Forced Labor Camp authorities sent Ms. Ren Shujie to the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp. She was ordered to sleep on the cold floor for three months. Ms. Ren Shujie's face became swollen, and her legs showed signs of severe edema. Each time a spot was pressed, an indentation would remain. Ms. Ren also went on a hunger strike at that time. Since Ms. Ren could not eat well, she was extremely weak at the time of her release from the labor camp on December 24, 2004. Because she still had problems with her esophagus, Ms. Ren was not able to eat normally upon returning home. She grew increasingly weaker, and passed away on September 1, 2005, and left her teenage son behind.

37-year-old Ms. Bi Daihong Died From Torture at Dalian Forced Labor Camp
Falun Gong practitioner 37-year-old Ms. Bi Daihong, who worked at the Dalian City Ship Examination Bureau Dalian City, Liaoning Province, used to suffer from headaches and protruding spinal discs, but she became very healthy after she started practicing Falun Gong in 1996. When the persecution of Falun Gong started in 1999, she went to Beijing many times to appeal and to clarify the truth. The perpetrators ransacked her home and extorted money from her. Her work unit illegally fired her and she lost her source of income.
In January 2003, Bi Daihong was reported when clarifying the truth. Officers from the Longwangtang Police Station in Lushun arrested her. The officers held her there for one month without notifying her family. She was later sentenced to two years of forced labor and held at the Dalian Forced Labor Camp.
On her first day at the labor camp, Bi Daihong refused to take off her clothes and submit to a physical search. The guards ordered a group of eight inmates to strip her naked outside a men's restroom on the first floor. These eight inmates beat her until she was covered with wounds and bruises. Her ears and eyes were injured, and most of her face was black and blue. After striking her to the ground, inmate Zhao Hui violently ground her mouth with his feet, cutting her lips and knocking her teeth loose. They later sent her to solitary confinement to further abuse and torment her.
The torture severely injured her legs and she was crippled. Furthermore, she suffered from severe internal injuries. She started to cough, and had fever and amenorrhea. She suffered from pain so severe that she often could not sleep at night. She became weary and emaciated. The guards ignored her condition and never allowed her to see a doctor. They ordered inmates to monitor her around the clock and further restrict her freedom. She was not allowed to go to the restroom even when she was incontinent. In addition, she was forced to do slave labor picking peas. She had to carry sacks of peas, each weighing between 50 kg [110 lbs] and 100 kg [242 lbs], up and down the stairs.
Inmate Lin Chunhong, who was assigned to monitor Bi Daihong, extorted about 4,000 yuan from Bi Daihong's parents, taking advantage of their anguish by telling them that their money would speed up the release process.
Bi Daihong's family strongly urged the labor camp authorities on numerous occasions to take Bi Daihong to a hospital. The authorities reluctantly took Bi Daihong for an examination. Bi Daihong was diagnosed with terminal ovarian cancer and was told she had about two months left to live, at most. The labor camp authorities were afraid of taking responsibility should she die during medical treatment, so they pressed her family to follow the procedure for release from the labor camp. Bi Daihong passed away on September 1, 2005.
82-year-old Ms. He Guizhi Dies of Grief After Grandchildren Tortured to Death
Falun Gong practitioner Ms. He Guizhi was 82 years old and lived with her grandson Sun Jihong and his family. After practicing Falun Gong since 1996, many of her ailments such as asthma, pulmonary emphysema, and bronchitis were cured. She was so happy about her life.
Starting on July 20, 1999 when the persecution of Falun Gong began, the police constantly harassed them in their home, and made Mrs. He Guizhi's health deteriorate.
 82-year-old He Guizhi |
 He Guizhi and her husband Sun Xueren |
 Mr. Sun Jihong, his wife Yuan Hezhen, and their daughter Sun Yubo |
 He Guizhi's great-granddaughter Sun Yubo |
Her grandson Sun Jihong used to be the Hua'nan Forestry Police Station director, but he was arrested and detained many times due to firmly believing in Truthfulness, Benevolence, and Forbearance. On September 25, 2002, Mr. Sun Jihong was arrested and detained again in the Fengtai District Police Station, Beijing. Four days later, on September 29, 2003, police tortured him to death. His body looked badly beaten, with a hole between his eyebrows and two more holes on his chin. The savage beatings left no undamaged skin on his body.
Her granddaughter-in-law Yuan Hezhen used to work for the Hua'nan County Forestry Commercial Bank as a manager. She was arrested and detained in May 2002 in Beijing. She was brutally beaten, handcuffed, and force-fed in the detention center. That damaged her health severely, and she died as a result in July 2003.
Her grandson and granddaughter-in-law were both tortured to death within one year. He Guizhi had nowhere to go for justice. She lost her eyesight and died brokenhearted on December 3, 2003.
Three out of the five members in the family died as a result of the CCP persecution. He Guizhi is survived by her 82-year-old husband and their great granddaughter, Sun Yubo.
Mr. Sun Xueren wants to sue those responsible for such a brutal killing at the Superior Court in Beijing. He tried to find a lawyer to help, but failed due to interference from the CCP. Mr. Sun wants to expose his family's tragedy internationally.
Every death case represents the brutal termination of an innocent life. Good will be rewarded and evil will meet with karmic retribution. The day that Jiang's group will pay for every single one of its debts is imminent.
We are the family of Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Liu Guifu. We are writing this appeal letter in a state of grave concern because we cannot accept that Liu Guifu is at this moment being tormented in a Chinese government facility because of her firm belief in Falun Gong and her unwillingness to be "transformed" and thereby manipulated to deceive other people.
At around 6:00 p.m. on February 28, 2005, police officer Wang Haipeng from the Qinglongqiao Police Station led six people from the Haidian Police Sub-Bureau and broke into our home. They searched the place and took Liu Guifu away. During the entire incident, they didn't show any identification or gave us a reason for arresting her. After not hearing any news about Liu Guifu for several months, we suddenly received notification that she had been sentenced to two and a half years in a forced labor camp. She is currently incarcerated at the Tiantanghe Women's Forced Labor Camp. This is the fifth time the 50-year-old mother has been arrested for her belief.
Influenced by many years of Communist Party culture, we used to think that many aspects of life were not so bad in China. But after what we have seen and heard, we no longer have such naïve ideas. Even so, we could not imagine law-enforcement officers breaking the law, trampling on basic human rights, and enforcing the brutal persecution against our own family. Specifically, the conduct of the police and prison authorities included the following:
1. The police from the Qinglongqiao Police Station did not show any identification or give any reason for the illegal search.
2. Xin'an Women's Labor Camp used various excuses to keep our family from visiting Liu, including not notifying the family and delaying or obstructing our visits. From February when Liu was taken away to August, only one visit was allowed. From May until August, we contacted the labor camp and repeatedly requested to visit Liu. But prison guard Song Lili, the captain of the group to which Liu was assigned, would not allow any visits, mail, or telephone contact with Liu. When we tried to call Song, she refused to answer the phone. Since the beginning of August, the family has requested to see Liu multiple times, but Song always finds excuses to prevent the visit, claiming that Liu's situation is special.
3. Song used lies to turn away family visits and kept the family from knowing Liu's real condition. When asked about Liu's physical condition, Song said, "She is fine except she is very stubborn and refuses to be transformed. Do not believe the information from the Web." (Websites overseas have been reporting the persecution Liu was suffering at Beijing's Women's Labor Camp.)
Around 2:30 p.m. on August 16, we were finally was able to see her. Liu was as thin as a stick, and we could hardly recognize her. She used to weight around 154 pounds and now she looked less than 110 pounds. Her hair had turned gray. She moved slowly, as if she had aged over twenty years since her arrest. It was not hard to imagine what kind of inhumane treatment she had suffered. Liu's husband Liu Baoguo asked the prison guard how she had become so skinny. The guard told him that she was under pressure and could not eat well.
4. Liu was tortured with the following methods: (1) Sleep deprivation. (2) Forced to sit or stand in one position for over 20 hours. (3) Forced to take unknown medications. (4) Being viciously beaten and made to suffer mental torture.
Liu's husband accidentally found a brownish bruise on her right arm. On the inside of her right arm, there were also several bruises. Liu's husband kept asking her what had happened. At first, Liu was afraid to tell him because the guards were threatening her, and later she reluctantly said she was beaten. Prison guard Song Lili pretended ignorance, "Who beat you? How come I don't know about it?" Liu said several inmates including one called Zhou Hong stuffed her mouth with a cleaning rag and beat her. Another guard sitting next to her immediately stopped Liu from continuing and yelled at her, "What did we say just now? Why bring up old stuff?"
Liu's husband asked her, "What happened to you in the last three or four months? How come you are so thin?" Liu said, "I was not allowed to sleep. Everyday I was forced to stand. At first, I could rest between midnight and 4 o'clock in the morning. Later I could only rest between 2:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. I was forced to take a kind of medicine in a capsule. I would vomit after I took it."
Liu's husband repeatedly asked guard Song Lili, "She is not sick. What kind of medicine did you give her?" Song replied, "It is not poison. It is for adjusting the nervous system. It helps her to sleep better." Liu's husband told her, "You are a police officer. You are supposed to protect people. How can you treat others like this?" Song kept saying it was not poison. But they kept a person from sleeping, then gave the person medicine to help her to sleep. What kind of logic was that?
Under Liu's husband's repeat questioning, Liu told him that she was forced to sit on a stool for a month. The flesh on her buttocks festered and had formed a scab.
During the twenty-minute visit, whenever Liu started to talk about the persecution she suffered, Song would stop her. As a result, Liu talked to her family for less than ten minutes.
5. Liu was threatened to not disclose the facts of her torture. We found out that before our visit, the police threatened Liu not to tell us the facts. They coerced her to agree not to reveal the facts of her persecution. We are now worried that the police may retaliate because Liu has revealed the facts.
6. The police attempted to provoke family friction by having a family member apply pressure on Liu. Police Song Lili told Liu's husband, "You cannot just visit. You need to apply some pressure on her. Tell her that you will divorce her if she refuses to transform." Song also asked Liu's husband if Liu had any weakness. Such despicable acts from the police!
As Liu's family, we cannot help but worry about her situation and fear the worst. This is the second time Liu has been tortured in this labor camp. From the outside, this labor camp looks like a modern garden, but who really knows what happens inside? Let us look at the experience Liu had the first time she was incarcerated there.
According to Liu Guifu, she was once forced to stand for 18 days and night straight without sleep. Her ankles swelled as big as her thighs. She used to wear shoe size 23.5, but at the end, she could not even wear size 40. When she tried to put her shoes on, the skin on her feet burst open and blood began to ooze out. During the 18 days she was forced to stand, she was so tired that she fell to the ground. Her face was covered with blood, but she could not wake up. So the police poured buckets of cold water on her. The police captain believed that Liu could only last so long without giving up because someone was helping her. So the police moved her to the police office and had her stand there for another six days and nights. She was not allowed to squat down even when eating her meals. Later, when the police saw that Liu still refused to transform, they forced her to squat down with her arms extended backward. She was forced to hold this position for the whole night. Another time, Liu was beaten so badly that she could not stand up straight. She had to crawl to the bathroom. Every time the police beat her, they would take her outside where nobody could see or hear her. The police would use electric batons to shock her or beat her themselves.
From the experience of our own family, it is clear that no law is being followed when it comes to persecuting Falun Gong. We cannot find any place to appeal for Liu. We can only believe there are still some people in the government who care for the people and are willing to put justice and morality ahead of everything else. We ask them to help our family and stop the labor camp from breaking the law and deceiving the families of the practitioners.
Liu's daughter, Meng Xiangji, is a student at Purdue University in the U.S. She has written articles in an effort to rescue her mother. Those articles have been published in several large Chinese media overseas and have drawn attention from the international community.
In this appeal, we make the following requests:
Investigate the details of torture Liu has suffered at the labor camp. Bring criminal charges against police officer Song Lili.
With regard to family, communication, and visits, the labor camp should cease making any excuses, such as not notifying us, and delaying or obstructing our visits. Guarantee the legal rights of the family.
Because Liu's health is extremely bad, because her husband has
been sick for a long time, and because her elderly mother has no one to
take care of her, Liu Guifu should be released immediately and given
her freedom.
The Qingdao Police started an intensive manhunt of Falun Gong practitioners on September 26, 2005, in anticipation of the upcoming CCP's National Day on October 1. So far, practitioners known to have been illegally arrested and detained are as follows:
Ms. Cui Weirui, from the Shibei District and approximately 56 years old, was arrested from her home in the early morning hours of September 20, 2005. The police also ransacked her home. She is now imprisoned and being forced to attend the 610 Office brainwashing class in Qingdao City.
Ms. Xu Guihua, about 58, is from the Shibei District. She was deceived into leaving her home and later arrested and sent to the Qingdao Prison, where she is forced to attend the 610 brainwashing class.
Ms. Lin, around 60, was arrested by 610 officials and forced to attend the brainwashing class.
Mr. Zhan Guangmin, approximately 65, was employed at the Institute of Agriculture and resided in the vicinity of a normal school in the Licang District. Mr. Zhan was arrested on the afternoon of September 21, together with Mr. Hou, a resident of Jian'an Community in the Licang District. The two are presently imprisoned in the Chengqu Police Station located on the Western Hill of Li Village.
Ms. Ou Yunjie of the Shibei District, who is about 27 years old, was arrested from her home at approximately 8 p.m. on September 21, 2005, together with her mother Ms. Liu. Police ransacked her home and her business, which is a clothing store. The police also took 10,000 yuan in cash that she used to operate her business.
Mr. Wang Donglin, approximately 30, worked at the Haixin Limited Corporation and lived in a rental unit in the Sifang District. He was arrested on September 21, and the police ransacked his home.
Ms. Cui Luning, 33, was employed at the Qingdao City Sodium Silicate Factory. She lived in the company's quarters in Li Cangqu. On September 22, she was arrested and her residence was ransacked by police. She is currently being illegally detained in the Dashan Detention Center of Qingdao City. On the evening of September 21, at around 11 p.m., a man with glasses knocked vigorously on her door to find out if she was home. When there was no response, he knocked on the next-door-neighbor's door to investigate why Ms. Cui was not home. On September 22, a man initiated an inquiry on the phone, trying to make contact with everyone that had made calls to Ms. Cui. He also lied by making up a story that Ms. Cui needed to attend to an urgent matter at home. This is an indication that Ms. Cui Luning's home was already under surveillance by the police.
Mr. Sun Hong, 33, was working at the Qingdao City Textile Hospital and resided in Xiaoweng Village in the Licang District. He and his 32-year-old wife, Min Huirong, were both arrested.
Numerous other practitioners have also been arrested. The details of their whereabouts are still under investigation.
Prior to the incidents above, the Qingdao Police had arrested more than 20 other practitioners who had "enlightened" along the evil path. Many other practitioners were also arrested in the vicinity. According to news leaked from the Residential Committee, the police had previously "reformed" these practitioners. They are now assisting the police in persecuting genuine practitioners and helping the authorities to brainwash others. We are calling on all Falun Gong practitioners in Qingdao and the surrounding area to send forth righteous thoughts intensively on the hour at this critical time to thoroughly eliminate the evil elements, the dark minions, all elements of the communist evil spirit, and all other factors responsible in order to thoroughly eradicate this evil persecution immediately and completely.
On the morning of September 20, 2005, Falun Gong practitioners Wang Jinping and Bai Min were put on trial in Dadong District Court of Shenyang City, and sentenced to eight and four years in prison, respectively.
Mrs. Wang, 43, who lives on Gongnong Rd., Dadong District, Shenyang City, is a very nice and talented lady. She has aged parents, is respectful of her elders, and has a son who is facing an upcoming college entrance examination. Both Mrs. Wang and her husband were laid off and were getting by on temporary work. Even though their lives were not of material wealth, they were happy and content.
Her tranquil life changed, however, after July 20, 1999, when the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regime launched a political campaign to eradicate Falun Gong practitioners. She went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Gong but was arrested before she even entered the Government Appeals Office in the name of "disturbing social order." It is said that over ten thousand Falun Gong practitioners from Shenyang City were arrested in 1999 on the same trumped up charge.
On the eve of the 2001 Spring Festival, Mrs. Wang's husband was sentenced to two years forced labor for delivering an article written by the founder of Falun Gong. Her husband finally returned home at the end of 2002 after enduring countless hardships. However, after the family reunited just for a while, Mrs. Wang was arrested again on April 6, 2005, in a Falun Gong materials production site by the local 610 Office and policemen from Dongzhan Police Station.
On the morning of September 20, 2005, Mrs. Wang Jinping and Bai Min were on trial in the Minors Courthouse, Dadong District Court of Shenyang City, and were illegally sentenced to eight and four years of prison respectively, for "disturbing social order and endangering national security." During the trial process, there was no defense attorney and no chance for them to defend themselves. The verdict was pushed through as if it was part of a mechanized process.
