The Facts of the Persecution of Falun Gong  -- November 2, 2005

Issued by Clearwisdom Net

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Wang Xiuhua from Beijing died as a result of torture at the Kaiping Forced Labor Camp in Tangshan City, Hebei Province. She died on July 15, 2005. The authorities from the Kaiping Forced Labor Camp in Tangshan City tortured Wang Xiuhua until she was at the brink of death. They then demanded that her family take her home on June 22, 2005. By then Wang Xiuhua exhibited symptoms of severe damage to the nervous system: blank stare, inability to speak or to urinate, immobility and loss of feeling in the lower body. Her family rushed her to a hospital but she could not be revived. Ms. Wang died in the hospital three weeks after being released from the labor camp.

Wang Xiuhua

Wang Xiuhua was 51 years old and lived in the Mentougou District in Beijing. On October 30, 2004, Wang Xiuhua and another practitioner, Liu Zhenxia, were illegally arrested. The perpetrators were police from the National Security Section of the Mentougou District Police Department. The arrests occurred when the practitioners were distributing truth clarification materials near Tanzhe Temple. The police ransacked the practitioners' homes and sentenced them to two years of forced labor. On November 25, 2004, Wang Xiuhua was taken away and sent to the Tuanhe Dispatch Division in Beijing. In mid-December 2004 she was transferred to Squadron 2, Group 6 at the Kaiping Forced Labor Camp in Tangshan City, Hebei Province.

On June 22, 2005, authorities from the Kaiping Forced Labor Camp in Tangshan City phoned Wang Xiuhua's family and told them that Wang Xiuhua had been diagnosed with "intestinal obstruction" and "electrolyte abnormalities" and told her family to take her home. When her family saw Wang Xiuhua, she couldn't think or respond clearly; she had a blank look on her face and could not move her arms or legs. The labor camp authorities forced her family to take her home.

Her family rushed Ms. Wang to the hospital for emergency treatment. Aside from urinary retention, Wang Xiuhua, suffered from nausea and vomiting, and showed abnormalities such as inability to think clearly, blank stare, inability to speak, immobility of arms and legs, loss of feeling of the lower body, all of which are typical symptoms of severe nerve damage.

Her symptoms were alleviated through medical treatment and she stopped vomiting; however, she still had urinary retention and had to stay on a catheter, and the damage to her central nervous system did not improve. On July 15 Ms. Wang suddenly stopped breathing and resuscitation efforts failed.

The units responsible for Wang Xiuhua's death include the Kaiping Forced Labor Camp in Tangshan City, Hebei Province, the Tuanhe Dispatch Division for Persons Undergoing Labor Reeducation, and the National Security Section of the Mentougou District Police Department in Beijing and the Custody Center.

Since the evil Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began to persecute Falun Gong practitioners, the Shaanxi Provincial Women's Labor Camp has adopted different kinds of extremely wicked means to cruelly torture and persecute Falun Gong practitioners. As a result, some Falun Gong practitioners' lives were endangered. Some became mentally disoriented and lost control of their bladders. Some practitioners were beaten until their bones broke and their front teeth were smashed in. The following are crimes that I witnessed with my own eyes that occurred in Shaanxi Provincial Women's Labor Camp.

Most guards in the Shaanxi Provincial Women's Labor Camp participated in the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. For a long period of time, guards adopted the means of forcing practitioners to sit on a small stool, stand facing a wall, squat, and denied practitioners the use of a toilet and deprived them of sleep, etc. They isolated and imprisoned Falun Gong practitioners in solitary confinement for a long time and did not allow them to talk with anyone, buy anything, meet with anyone, etc. They did not let practitioners change their clothes, take showers or clean themselves.

The guards also abuse police weapons. An elderly Falun Gong practitioner was beaten by guards in turn with batons for over eighty rounds. Police shackled Falun Gong practitioners for extended periods. Some practitioners' heels were pulled up in the air by shackles, with only the tip of the toe touching the ground. Some practitioners were shackled with their legs crossed. Some were shackled to an iron door or window in the hallway and suffered tremendously in the winter. The guards instigated criminals to persecute practitioners, to swear and beat them at will, and conspire to commit crimes against them. They pinched, twisted, kicked and beat, violently hit their heads with a comb, pricked with needles, spit water, and used their elbows to violently hit practitioners' waists, breasts, and backs. They forced Falun Gong practitioner to drink high-density salt water and to drink some unknown drug that made them mentally incoherent. They forced the practitioners to have bowel movements while standing up and then use their own clothes or quilts to wipe themselves, then throw them away.

In the winter of 2002, guard Dong Yanling instigated criminal Lin Xiaoting to pour cold water down a Falun Gong practitioner's neck. Several practitioners were physically punished and denied sleep for extended periods.

In April and May 2003, the police again cruelly persecuted several Falun Gong practitioners. The wicked deputy head Zhang Zhuoqing incited criminal Zhang Zhilan to tie up the practitioners' feet and hands, tape their mouths shut, constantly pour cold water on their faces until they passed out, then prick practitioners with needles and shout at them.

Unlawfully detained Falun Gong practitioners were often forced to endure severe work overloads, and for very prolonged periods of time.

Police who participated in the long-term persecution of Falun Gong practitioners: Zhao Xiaoyang, Zhang Zhuoqing, Dong Yanling, Bo Xiao, Zhang Yan, Li Cailian, Yanni, etc. I witnessed with my own eyes that police instigated criminals Li Guilan, Lin Xiaoting, Hua Yuping, Yang Hongge and so on to cruelly persecute practitioners again and again.

The 3^rd Group of Shaanxi Provincial Women's Labor Camp: 86-29-86227767

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Wang Yuling from Dongfeng County, Jilin Province, was unlawfully sentenced to 13 years in prison for persisting in her belief in Truth, Compassion, Forbearance. For the past three years the police have never notified her family about her incarceration and have never allowed them to visit her. Her family inquired in all sorts of places for over a year and finally found out that she is being held at a "labor reeducation" hospital. Since June 2004 her family has gone to the hospital many times but the police refuse to let them see her. Following is her story.

Ms. Wang Yuling is 50 years old. The officers from Criminal Police Squadron 2 of Chaoyang District and Division 1 of the Changchun City Police Department illegally arrested her on August 15, 2002. The police tortured her on the tiger bench for nine days and took turns torturing her. They tied her hands with plastic bands, burned her, beat and kicked her, poured cold water on her, and shocked her with 30,000-volt electric baton(s), which made her lose consciousness. She came to after one of her veins was cut open at No 3 Hospital, which is affiliated with Changchun Medical University. Since then she has suffered from severe cardiac ischemia.

In the three plus years since 2002, Ms. Wang has often been at death's door because of heart disease. She would recover slightly after several days of hospitalization, at which time the police would take her back to the 3rd Detention Center. They sent her to the hospital only when she was again at the brink of death. She has been in and out of the hospital for two years.

Ms. Wang was very healthy and weighed over 154 pounds before the police abducted her. Due to savage torture, her hair is now completely white and most of her teeth have fallen out. She is severely hunchbacked and cannot take care of herself. Her hands and feet are cold and pale, and her whole body is swollen. She now weighs 88 pounds and often faints. She has also been diagnosed with gallstones and a stomach ulcer.

Despite her condition, the police still tried several times to send her to the Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp. The labor camp refused to accept her because of her poor health. Authorities from the 3rd Detention Center wanted to release her on a medical parole, but the police department, the Chaoyang District Procuratorate, and Chaoyang District Court refused to grant it.

Before the persecution, Ms. Wang lived with her husband, son, and her mother-in-law. Her husband has femur necrosis and was laid off without any income. Her mother-in-law is in her 70s. Ms. Wang was the breadwinner of the family and also her husband's and her mother-in-law's caregiver. Her son fell ill and later died from shock and grief at his mother's brutal persecution.

Ms. Wang Yuling used to be the owner of a cake factory and had about 40,000 yuan in liquid capital. After she was abducted, the police ransacked her home and took all the valuables, including two cars and all of the cash.

Her husband cannot work due to his illness. He and his mother live on her pension of about 400 yuan a month.

In the labor camps in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, Falun Gong practitioners are put into the so-called "conversation room" that is specifically used for separate detention so that they can persecute Falun Gong practitioners. Guards select, train and force 3-6 other detainees to specialize in "monitoring" Falun Gong practitioners around the clock. Practitioners are detained in isolated rooms and suffer from long-term physical and mental persecution.

First, practitioners are forced to undergo brainwashing, during which they are made to watch videos and read materials that slander, attack and fabricate charges against Falun Gong and Master Li. Afterwards, practitioners are forced to write a so-called "feelings and thoughts report" for the guards every day. During the day, except during mealtimes and bathroom breaks, practitioners are forced to endure intense brainwashing sessions all day long. At the same time, the guards use all kinds of means to torture practitioners physically and mentally: they make them sit on a bench and read materials that slander Falun Gong; they are not allowed to walk around in the room for longer than 20 minutes altogether on any given day; they are not allowed any free time. Guards and others who assist in persecuting them intimidate them by saying, "By not allowing you to walk around, your arms and feet may be paralyzed by the time you leave here."

In order to force practitioners to renounce Falun Gong, the guards prolong steadfast practitioners' detention times for 10-15 days every month and also threaten, "If you persist like this, even when you finish your forced-labor term, you will be sent directly to the 'law education class' (brainwashing class) after leaving this labor camp. If you still refuse to give up the practice, you will be sent back to the labor camp again." The guards even openly shout, "If you still refuse to give in, we will torment you to death."

In order to achieve their purposes, the guards authorize, instigate and incite other detainees to monitor Falun Gong practitioners and allow them to take any means to arbitrarily persecute Falun Gong practitioners. Usually practitioners are only allowed to sleep for 4-5 hours every day and sometimes even only 2-3 hours, and for the rest of the time, practitioners are forced to watch videos that defame Falun Gong. The guards also use physical torture on practitioners. The methods used include: tying practitioners up, tightly binding their arms and feet, and beating their heads and other parts of the body. The detainees can use any means of torture on practitioners they choose once every 2-3 days or even several times in one day. Since practitioners are detained separately, whatever happens inside is kept secret by the detainees and people outside are unaware. Falun Gong practitioners become exhausted from the long-term physical and mental abuse and some practitioners even fall asleep while standing. Practitioners are given trouble for using the toilet, eating or drinking, etc. If any other detainee is in the way of practitioners going to the toilet, practitioners are not allowed to go to the toilet and practitioners are forced to walk with their heads bowed. Some practitioners are tortured to the extent that their condition visibly deteriorates, which gives the guards an excuse to restrict the rights of practitioners even more because they are afraid it may cause disturbances if other detainees see these practitioners' situations. The guards seal these practitioners away as another method of mental persecution and in their words, "You will die of boredom."

Even for those practitioners who have given in because they were unable to withstand such persecution, the guards still use the same methods to "test" them for a long time and don't allow them out of isolation. They force them to do certain work until they feel these people have met their so-called requirements. Some of this work that these brainwashed practitioners are assigned to is to monitor other practitioners and never leave their side. These brainwashed practitioners have to obey "management" and are not allowed to talk to other detainees. Moreover, such management continues until these people leave the labor camp. If the guards feel these brainwashed practitioners have not met their requirements, the guards will further detain them in separate rooms and persecute them until the guards feel confident enough to let them out.

Even those monitoring detainees say that those rooms that separately detain Falun Gong practitioners are a "jail within a jail" and "the darkest spots in the world where the guards don't have any sense of law or truth."

(Note: Now the No. 1 Labor Camp of Guangzhou City has been converted into a detention center or prison and the detainees there for forced-labor detention are divided up and sent to several other labor camps. Over a dozen practitioners that used to be detained in the No. 1 Labor Camp have been sent to the No. 3 Labor Camp of Guangzhou and the guards who persecute them have been transferred to the same place.)

Ms. Liu Zhifang, about 48 years old, was a Falun Gong practitioner from Lanzhou City, Gansu Province. She lived in the medical school of Lanzhou University and was a pipa [1] player in the Henan theatrical troupe of Lanzhou City. She was persecuted to death in August. The details of her death are under investigation.

Ms. Bin Jie, 71 years old, was from Changchun City, Jilin Province. She started to practice Falun Gong in September 1994. On July 20, 2000, she went to Tiananmen Square to appeal for justice for Falun Gong and was arrested and sent back to Changchun City by policemen from the Tiananmen police station. Then, she was imprisoned in the Balipu Detention Center for 15 days. While she was on a hunger strike, she was released from the detention center. Her company stopped paying her pension and the local police ransacked her home. In mid-December of 2000, she went to Beijing for the second time to appeal on behalf of Falun Gong. She was arrested again by the Tiananmen Police Station and put in the trunk of a car. After her release, her whole body twitched and her pulse was very irregular. Because the police were afraid that she was dying in the car, they sent her to the police station to let her rest for two hours, then she was sent to a bus station. After she was persecuted twice in Beijing, Bin Jie's mental condition seriously deteriorated. She had a stroke soon after coming back home and passed away on June 20, 2005.

Ms. Ma Fengying, 82 years old, was a Falun Gong practitioner from Xihu Town, Fuyang City, Anhui Province. After starting to practice Falun Gong in 1996, her various illnesses disappeared. After the CCP started to persecute Falun Gong, the local authorities constantly harassed her, ransacked her home, and threatened her. Her daughter, also a Falun Gong practitioner, has been illegally imprisoned in Hefei Prison for two years. Placed under great distress and deprived of the care of her daughter, Ma Fengying passed away in August 2005.

Mr. Ma Tairu, 79 years old, was a retired teacher from the Yushan Middle School of the Bazhou Area, Bazhong City, Sichuan Province. He started to practice Falun Gong in 1998. After July 20, 1999, he lost the environment for studying the Falun Gong teachings and for group practice of the exercises. In addition, he continuously suffered from pressure and harassment from the school and the town authorities. In May 2002, he came down with a serious illness and passed away in July.

Mr. You Wenzeng, 54 years old, lived at Youjia Village, Xinzaizi Town, Ganjingzi Area, Dalian City, Liaoning Province. After July 20, 1999, he kept clarifying the truth about Falun Gong, and was harassed and persecuted by the local police repeatedly. He died on August 25, 2005.

Ms. Ma Puyun, 58 years old, lived at Youjia Village, Xinzaizi Town, Ganjingzi Area, Dalian City, Liaoning Province. After July 20, 1999, she was constantly harassed by local policemen and security officers. She passed away on September 20, 2005.

Since early 2005 some Falun Gong practitioners who were held in detention centers and labor camps have not been able to keep pace with the Fa-rectification process due to their strong attachments, including fear. They have strayed in their understanding as they have not kept up with studying the Fa, and doing the three things Master has required us to do, and therefore have been taken advantage of by the wicked old forces. This serious problem has been raised and discussed with the local practitioners through the Clearwisdom website. Because of Falun Gong practitioners' righteous thoughts, the detention center in Changli County has recently been dismantled.

Since 1999, when Jiang Zemin and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started persecuting Falun Gong, the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners by the perpetrators in Changli County, Qinhuangdao City, has been unabated and extremely brutal. Prompted by the 610 Office of the county government, the police confiscated people's property by force and beat innocent citizens savagely. The following is a brief description of the plight of some Falun Gong practitioners who have been illegally arrested and sentenced or sent to labor camps. There is no specific data on those who have been detained and whose homes have been searched more than once.

There are 14 Falun Gong practitioners from Changli County, Qinhuangdao City, who have been given illegal prison sentences. The practitioners and their sentences are as follows: Zhou Xiangdang (9 years, Jidong Prison in Tangshan City); Wang Hongping (8 years, Jidong Prison in Tangshan City); Zhang Hongwu (7 years); Liu Shimin (6 years); Guo Jinghua (5 years); Zhang Weijin (4 years, then was transferred to a brainwashing center in Changli from Shijiazhuang Prison after his term was up in November 2004; he has been detained for a total of 21 months); Li Xiangling (3 years, wife of Zhou Xiangdang; she too was transferred to the Changli brainwashing center after she served her 3-year term, and walked out of the brainwashing center with righteous thoughts a month later); Wang Yinxia (3 years with 5-year probation); Wang Xiangyu (3 years with 4-year probation); Liu Aihua (3 years with 4-year probation); Wang Xiaojun (3 years with 3-year probation); Zhang Lishuang (3 years with 3-year probation); Wang Guirong (3 years with 3-year probation); and Li Zhongwen (3 years with 3-year probation). The above illegally-sentenced Falun Gong practitioners are being held at prisons in the cities of Tangshan, Baoding, and Shijiazhuang.

There are 22 Falun Gong practitioners who have been illegally sent to labor camps. They are: Ma Baohong, Wang Qiang, Zuo Guangdian, Wang Jun, Guo Yuting, Shen Yanru, Shan Guihua, Yang Shuqiang, Zhang Guizhi, Zhang Guiying, Wang Xiuli, Sun Fenglian, Lu Fengyun, Wang Lixia, Ju Xia, Liu Dongmei, Guo Huanfen, He Guixia, Li Shuli (persecuted to death in 2004 at Hehuakeng Labor Camp in Tangshan City, details to be provided), Guo Lijun, Yang Fengying (still detained), and Wang Qinghua (on parole).

During the holiday week of China's National Day (October 1), the police in Matuodian Township, Changli County started a fresh round of harassment and illegal investigations of some of the Falun Gong practitioners who had just returned from detention.

Mr. Li Zhengjin, 61 years old, was a Falun Gong practitioner in Xunchang Town, Yibin City, Sichuan Province. Before practicing Falun Gong, he suffered from paralysis and had to lie in bed for long periods of time. After starting to practice in 1998, he was miraculously cured. In 2001, he went to Beijing to peacefully appeal for the right to practice Falun Gong. Because of this action, he was illegally imprisoned and tortured by criminals for ten months. Even after being released, the police continued to harass him at home and even broke into and ransacked his residence. The long-term psychological pressure and inability to peacefully practice his beliefs caused Mr. Li's newly healthy body to deteriorate and severe diseases again re-emerged. Around August 14, 2005, the Yibin City 610 Office started to use lies and threats to arrest practitioners in Yibin City and imprison them in the brainwashing center at the Jinshajing Hotel. Mr. Li's feeble body was unable to withstand the torture so he was sent home. A few days after this latest series of harassment, torture and persecution, Mr. Li Zhengjin died.

Ms. Jiang Guiqing from Dalian City, Liaoning Province Dies from Continual Harassment and Persecution

Ms. Jiang Guiqing was a practitioner in Qianzhangtun, Shaojia Village, Pikou Town, Pulandian Area, Dalian City, Liaoning Province. She passed away on October 1, 2003, at the age of 64 due to the effects of constant harassment and torture.

Ms. Jiang's entire family practiced Falun Gong, and every family member has suffered persecution since July 20, 1999, when the assault on Falun Gong began.

Zhang Yunxin, Ms. Jiang's husband, had been persecuted numerous times by Chinese Communist Party officials. He was illegally detained at the Pulandian Detention Centre for going to Beijing to appeal on July 20, 1999. In 2000, he was illegally arrested and detained by the Xinghaiwan Police Station for 15 days at the Dalian Detention Centre for practicing the exercises in Xinghai Square in Dalian City. In April 2002, he was once again arrested and imprisoned in the brainwashing center at the Dalian City Party School. His home has been broken into and ransacked on several occasions.

Their eldest daughter, Zhang Min, was sent to the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp in Shenyang City in 1999.

Their second daughter, Zhang Qin, has been arrested several times, the most recently, with her husband, Wang Changbao. The Yangshufang Police Station in the Pulandian Area arrested them for distributing materials that clarified the truth about the persecution. Ms. Zhang Qin was sentenced to forced labor for three years and Mr. Wang was sentenced to two years. Both husband and wife are imprisoned in Dalian City Forced Labor Camp. They have also been extorted out of 5,000 yuan.

Their youngest daughter, Zhang Ling, has been arrested many times. In April 2002, she was arrested together with her father Zhang Yunxin and was sent to a brainwashing center. Nevertheless, she has always maintained her righteous thoughts.

Ms. Jiang Guiqing's home was broken into and ransacked many times. Under the long-term red-terror persecution, and because Ms. Jiang was unable to practice  normally, she was devastated both physically and mentally. She died on October 1, 2003.

Beijing Practitioner Ms. Song Xiaohui Dies from Continual Harassment and Persecution

Beijing practitioner Ms. Song Xiaohui, approximately 50 years of age, was persecuted to death sometime in early 2005 after having been forced to leave her home to avoid arrest for three years. During those three years, she stayed at a truth clarifying materials production site and helped produce the materials.

Recently, various police departments in Daqing City have deployed a large number of police officers to arrest Falun Gong practitioners. On the morning of September 23, 2005 alone, at least 25 practitioners were arrested. It has been verified that the following practitioners were arrested:
