The Facts of the Persecution of Falun Gong -- December 16, 2005

Issued by Clearwisdom Net

As a result of police brutality at the Jinzhou City Forced Labor Camp in Liaoning Province, several Falun Gong practitioners are in critical condition.

Practitioner Miao Jianguo was in critical condition on December 2, 2005 after long-term torture and persecution. To evade responsibility, Jinzhou Forced Labor Camp authorities sent him to the Jinzhou City Hospital and later to the University Hospital. Both hospitals refused to accept him. They finally dropped Miao Jianguo at the Guta District Hospital and handed him over to his family members before taking off.

The next day, December 3, around 1:00 p.m, six guards from the labor camp forced their way into Miao Jianguo parents' house and arrested Miao Jianguo again. Despite his critical condition, Mr. Miao has been detained in Team Two in the Jinzhou Forced Labor Camp. His physical condition is critical. According to reliable information, Jinzhou Forced Labor Camp leaders held an emergency meeting on December 3, 2005. Mr. Miao was arrested right after the meeting because they were afraid that he might expose their persecution of Falun Gong practitioners to the public.

Recently, guards in the Jinzhou Forced Labor Camp intensified their violence against Falun Gong practitioners who refused to give up their belief. The guards who are responsible for the recent attacks are Bai Jinlong, Li Songtao, Zhang Chunfeng and Yang Tinglun. In addition, the guards also assigned criminal inmates Pan Xuehai and Jiang Hui to torture practitioners. In August 2005, practitioner Liu Cheng from Yi County lost most of his hearing after long-term torture. Early one morning when inmate Pan Xuehai called to wake Liu Cheng up, Mr. Liu did not hear him clearly and reacted a bit slowly. Pan Xuehai and Jiang Hui beat him very badly; consequently, Liu Cheng's face was disfigured, he bled from his mouth and had a broken nose. After that incident, policemen Bai Jinlong, Li Songtao and Zhang Chunfeng praised inmates Pan and Jiang on multiple occasions for their violence. This made these two criminals even more violent.

Several days ago, Pan Xuehai severely beat practitioner Jiao Lin without reason. He kicked Jiao Lin so hard that one of his leather shoes broke.

Currently, practitioner Liu Chunwang is subject to a daily torture routine--he is forced to sit on a tiny stool from 4:00 a.m. to 10 p.m. while inmates monitor him constantly. He is not allowed to move even slightly; otherwise, they will cruelly beat him or subject him to other special torture.

All practitioners suffer from different tortures every day; their situation is extremely difficult. To resist the evil persecution, some practitioners staged hunger strikes. Practitioner Hu Shaowei from Huludao City began a hunger strike on November 13, over twenty days ago. Wong Hongjun also has been on a hunger striker for many days. Miao Jianguo started his hunger strike on November 22; his physical condition is precarious. He cannot eat or drink anything now and vomits if he tries to resume eating.

Practitioner Qi Mingli began a hunger strike on November 18, over two weeks ago. On December 6, the extremely feeble Qi Mingli was sent to the Jinzhou City Hospital Emergency Room. When his mother and mother-in-law arrived at the hospital to see him, the police did not let them in. The police even ordered his mother to pay the emergency fee. They told her if she didn't pay, her son would not be treated. The police also pushed Qi Mingli's mother-in-law around, several times knocking her to the floor. They threatened to arrest the two older ladies if they insisted on seeing him.

These hunger-striking practitioners are now very weak. The labor camp used violent force-feeding and other tortures to stop their hunger strikes. These practitioners' lives are constantly at risk!

At this time, the following practitioners are in severely bad physical condition or are permanently disabled: Li Yong from Jin County, Liu Cheng from Yi County, Jiao Lin and Yan Bai from Benxi City, Liu Chunwang and Hu Shaowei from Huludao City, Shao Minggang, Qi Mingli, Chai Lianbao and Miao Jianguo from Jinzhou City.

We are calling on good people and international human rights groups who learn of this report to support us in our efforts to stop the persecution.

Several practitioners from Panjin City, Liaoning Province, were arrested and held at a newly built detention center. On November 22, 2005, Mrs. Xie Dong, a teacher from Liaohe Oilfield Middle School, suffered bleeding from her uterus after a vicious beating by a group of guards.

On November 22, 2005, around 10:30 p.m., the police illegally arrested practitioners Su Yan, Xie Dong and Liu Shaoman from Panjin City at Su Yan's home, and held them in the local detention center. The police arrested another three practitioners--Zhang Guorong, Hu Xuehui and Zhou Yanhong--from their homes.

After their arrest, these practitioners began a hunger strike to protest the illegal persecution. 

Those who participated in the illegal arrests included Xu Hao from a security team in Xinglongtai District, Du Huaijun, and other policemen from Xinglongtai Police Station. All the practitioners are being held in the Panjin City Detention Center and have been denied all visiting rights.

Falun Gong Practitioner Mr. Xiao Sixian, a teacher at the Shiqiao Middle School, Jiahe County, Hunan Province, was illegally arrested by the 610 Office staff and State Security police on November 24 and has been tortured. Mr. Xiao has been on a hunger strike to protest ever since.

Mr. Xiao Sixian, 38, is a gym teacher at the Shiqiao Middle School. On November 24, 2005, he went back to his dormitory for lunch after he finished his classes for the morning. While Mr. Xiao was eating, Lei Zhibao, the director of the 610 Office and deputy secretary of the CCP political and judiciary committee, Liao Hanbin, the head of the National Security Group, Ou Zhibing, the head of Shiqiao Police Station, policeman Liao Sanping; and other two people broke into Mr. Xiao's home with electric batons. They broke the dining table, threw Mr. Xiao's bowl to the floor, beat him and kicked him, and also shocked him with electric batons until he lost consciousness. Then they dragged Mr. Xiao into a police car.

The police interrogated and tortured Mr. Xiao. Without finding out anything, the police unlawfully confined Mr. Xiao to Jiahe Detention Center. Mr. Xiao started a hunger strike to protest the persecution against him and has neither eaten nor drunk anything since then.

Many students at the school witnessed the police beating Mr. Xiao when he was taken away on November 24. In order to conceal their violent behavior, Ou Zhibing, the head of the Shiqiao Police Station, went to the school in a police car the next day to threaten the students, telling them not to say that the police had beaten anyone.

Xiao Sixian's family members' homes have been searched unlawfully many times. They have been arrested or paraded through the streets. Their salaries have been reduced without reason, and they have been fined unlawfully. They have been also detained at brainwashing centers or forced labor camps. This severe persecution occurred because the whole family has a strong belief in Falun Gong. In May 2000, Mr. Xiao was sentenced to a year and a half in a forced labor camp. In October 2000, Xiao Sixian's parents, sister, and wife, Luo Qiaohong, were detained at Jiahe Detention Center and Guiyang Detention Center. On December 5, 2001, his wife, Luo Qiaohong, was persecuted to death at the age of 28. Because he refused to cooperate with the State Security police to sign his name agreeing that his wife had died of epileptic complications, Mr. Xiao was detained at Jiahe Detention Center for more than nine months. In June 2003, he was sent to the forced labor camp for another year and a half.

I used to be a long-distance running champion in college, with a very healthy body. In 2003, the local police officers illegally arrested me, and took me to a detention center. Later, in a prison hospital, I was injected with unknown substances. My lower body was bleeding, and I went into a coma. Afterwards, the bottoms of my feet bled and oozed pus, and it took over a year to heal.

On the evening of July 20, 2003, the local police officers ransacked my home, took me to the detention center, and then transferred me to the provincial prison hospital. In the hospital, I was tied spread-eagle with my hands and legs secured to an iron bed frame. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Secretary of the city's Political and Judiciary Committee was there to personally lead the loud shouting of the slogan, "Exercising the Dictatorship of the Proletariat" towards me. After the slogan shouting, I was injected with unknown substances. While being injected, I felt a stream of liquid running out of my lower body. I heard a female police officer shout, "The injection is causing bleeding." Then, I lost consciousness.

When I regained consciousness, my whole body felt so weak that I could hardly open my eyes. Amidst loud noises, I seemed to hear a voice of a middle-aged woman saying, "Finally, we rescued her." Since then, my whole body has had no strength, and I vomited blood and had bloody stool and urine. My limbs were numb and swollen, and my skin turned black and blue. I was constantly connected to an oxygen supply, while my hands were still handcuffed onto the two sides of the iron bed frame. I was locked inside of a room that was less than six square yards, with the iron door and windows tightly closed. The electric fan was turned off and two inmates were ordered to watch me outside of the door around the clock. Every day, I was forced to pay forty-eight yuan as a "maintenance fee." The room temperature reached over 100 ºF. My whole body was covered with a rash. The padding on the bed was dirty and smelly. Bedbugs were crawling all over the place, and my body was covered with welts from the bites. I felt the itch and pain, but could not do anything since my hands were tied to the bed frame.

Later, the two prisoners, to whom I had earlier clarified the truth, were ordered to monitor me, and they secretly told me what happened. The day I was injected with the unknown substances, my lower body started to bleed profusely and stained the bed sheet and my pants. My blood pressure was reduced to a little over 30 and my heart was also severely affected. When my heart stopped beating, I was rescued by emergency medical means, but remained in a coma. The second time I was injected with the unknown substances, the same thing happened, and later they rescued me again.

I was illegally detained and tortured for forty-eight days. My whole body was collapsing with exhaustion. I was also diagnosed with several diseases, one of which was contagious. The detention center would not keep me there because of that. Finally, I had to pay a "fine" of five thousand yuan to be released for medical treatment. I returned home. During the forty-eight days of detention, I lost over ten pounds. After an extended period of being handcuffed, for more than six months I could not lift up my arms, and even now my four limbs often feel numb.

In 2004, after six months of recuperating at home, the unlawful authorities again illegally sentenced me to three years of forced labor. However, because I was diagnosed with several diseases including an infectious one, I was granted clemency.

Guangdong Province has experienced frequent natural and man-made disasters in recent years. This is definitely not accidental.

1. The Violent Suppression Begins

Former Chinese president Jiang Zemin used his visit to Hong Kong in April 2000 as a prelude to escalate the persecution. His justification was that social order was not being maintained and it needed to be tightened. He frequently called out thousands of armed police in Guangzhou, Dongguan, and Panyu and put in force illegal means to capture Falun Gong practitioners who had left home to avoid the persecution. Consequently, many people were illegally arrested, including local practitioners and those who had moved to Guangzhou. The authorities also did not spare practitioners who practiced quietly at home. Persecution fever was in full force, and many practitioners were taken to brainwashing centers.

During Jiang's visit to Hong Kong, tourist groups from Mainland China were not granted entry into Hong Kong. Not even tourists from Shenzhen and Zhuhai, cities close to Hong Kong and Macau, were allowed to travel to Hong Kong. No one was granted a visitor's pass.

An unprecedented number of practitioners from Guangdoing were arrested, beaten, sentenced to prison and taken to forced labor camps. We are unable to account for all the practitioners persecuted from that time. Even those not directly involved with Falun Gong became victims.

2. Malicious Slander of Falun Gong

In April, Guangdong Province's Drama Group produced a play slandering Falun Gong and planned to tour and perform throughout the province. On the morning of June 20, Guangdong Province's Administrative Division, the Public City Division, the Committee of Political and Legislative Affairs, the Public Security Bureau, the Civil Administration Office, the Human Affairs Office and other divisions made an announcement introducing "first-class groups" and 165 "highly developed individuals" with "outstanding performance in persecuting Falun Gong."

3. Luo Gan Responsible for Redeployment of Law Enforcement and Military Personnel, while Huang Huahua Remained at Shaoguan, Intensifying the Persecution in Guangdong

It is rumored that before Hu Jintao visited North America in September 2005, government officials in Guangdong transferred more than 500 police officers and special agents, even chemical defense army staff, from the north to monitor and persecute practitioners. We heard that Luo Gan was personally responsible for the redeployment. At the time, large-scale arrests of practitioners occurred in Gaozhou, Guangzhou, Yunfu, Zhaoqing, Haizhu, Shenzhen, Shantou, Chaoyang, Maoming, Panyu, Jieyang and other places in Guangdong. During this well-planned mass arrest, more than 25 Falun Gong practitioners were taken into custody.

On July 15, 2005, Huang Huahua, the Governor of Shaoguan traveled to Shaoguan. Shaoguan became a major area for the persecution of Falun Gong. The persecution intensified, with the Shaoguan area 610 Office and its subordinates arresting practitioners in large numbers.

Rumors are that the Guangdong Jieyang 610 Office had sent 15 special agents for training. Upon completion of their training, they are expected to intimidate Falun Gong practitioners. They will make an attempt to deceive local practitioners into trusting them so that they can acquire information about others and discover the locations of truth clarification materials production sites. These agents are under orders to destroy any such sites.

Family members of practitioners who were detained in Guangzhou Prison have said that no family visits were allowed for three months, and then families were asked to wait for notification from the prison after the three months were over. In this way, the authorities attempted to block the facts of the persecution.

In mid-September 2005, because their minds had been poisoned by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), members of the Guangdong Mobile Shenzhen Branch held a meeting. They decided that all staff members must copy word-for-word a Guarantee Statement. They had to guarantee not to participate in Falun Gong activities and stop family members or relatives from practicing, and so on. If they refused to copy and hand in the guarantee statement, they would be severely punished politically and financially and be dismissed from their job.

4. Jiang's Regime Does Not Apply the Law to Falun Gong

In order to persecute Falun Gong, Jiang Zemin and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) established the 610 Office. No one holds jurisdiction over this office, which has been given absolute power, included depriving citizens of his or her legal rights. The National Public Security Department, and the judicial and legal departments do not follow the law, but rather will follow secret orders pertaining to Falun Gong. Random arrests, ransacking of people's homes, fines, forced labor camp sentences, torture, and even depriving people of their lives--the 610 Office has full jurisdiction over these activities without any oversight. The fundamental laws of the country, such as the Constitution, criminal law and Laws of Criminal Procedure have no value and are mere words on paper. The following are examples of the CCP's bypassing the rule of law in the persecution of Falun Gong.

Ms. Han Yuejuan's Prison Term Extended by Three Years Because She Said, "Falun Dafa is Good" Three Times

Ms. Han Yuejuan, 40, from Guangzhou is a former government employee of the Dongshan District Organization in Guangzhou. Because she is firm in her belief in Falun Gong, the Guangzhou police arrested her in June 2001. Ms. Han was held in a detention center in the Longdong Wushan District of Guangzhou for two years. She was not allowed family visits nor given representation by a lawyer. Han Yuejuan was sentenced to six years in prison and taken to Guangzhou City Women's Prison.

During the court proceedings, Ms. Han was asked about her understanding of Falun Gong. Ms. Han said, "Falun Dafa is good," firmly and with a strong voice three times. Therefore, the judge from Guangzhou court extended her prison term another three years above the original three-year sentence. The judge stated that for each time Ms. Han said, "Falun Dafa is good," another year would be added to her prison sentence.

Ms. Ye Hongfang of Heyuan City Sentenced to Seven Years

Ms. Ye Hongfang is from Heyuan City, Guangdong Province. She has practiced Falun Gong for many years. After Jiang's regime began to persecute Falun Gong in July 1999, she went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Gong, but was arrested and taken back to Heyuan. Heyuan City's 610 Office took her to the Huizhou Mental Hospital of Guangdong Province, where she suffered brutal torture. Ms. Ye remained firm in her belief in Falun Gong and resisted the persecution. She was sentenced to one year of forced labor and taken to the 2^nd Group of Guangdong Sanshui Women's Forced Labor Camp. She suffered inhuman mental and physical torture in 2001. After Ms. Ye was released in 2002, she again joined the immense force of Fa-rectification. Because she was caught making Falun Gong truth-clarification materials, the Heyuan City 610 Office staff took her to the Sanshui Brainwashing Center. Ms. Ye again was brutally tortured and lost her eyesight. Then she was taken back to Heyuan City, where she was detained for close to a year. After that, staff from Heyuan City 610 Office sentenced Ye Hongfang to seven years in prison.

Ms. Tang Jinai of Zengcheng City, Guangdong, Two Months Pregnant, Suffered a Forced Abortion

Ms. Tang Jinai is a Falun Gong practitioner from Zhenlong Town, Zengcheng City, Guangdong Province. In December 2000, she went to Beijing to appeal for and validate Falun Gong. She was two months into her first pregnancy. Officers from the local police substation arrested her and sent her to the Zengcheng Detention Center. After they realized that she was pregnant, they got ready to release her from the detention center. However, as she left the detention center, Ms. Tang noticed that Luo Weijun from the Zhenlong Township police precinct was waiting for her. They dragged her into a van. Ms. Tang Jinai asked, "Who are you?" One of them said, "We are from the Family Planning Office in Zengcheng. We heard you are pregnant. We checked with the Family Planning Office and discovered that you did not apply for the right to get pregnant and you are not included in the quota for allowed pregnancies. You are not meeting the requirements set by the Family Planning Office." She said, "I checked with the Zhenlong Family Planning Office. I was told that one could apply for a birth permit only after one is four to six-months pregnant." (This is still the current rule.) But they blatantly lied, "In Zengcheng one must be granted the right to be counted under the quota before becoming pregnant and getting a birth permit!" Then they took her to the Family Planning Office in Zengcheng City, Guangdong Province. Five to six males held her on the operating table for a forced abortion!

After the procedure, they took her back to the Zhenlong Police Precinct. The personnel there didn't want to keep her, so they sent her home. She lay down on the bed, with her mind blank. These evil people deprived a two-month-old life of its opportunity to live! They killed this life without the mother's approval, without notifying her family, and without her husband's presence. They also sent people to monitor Ms. Tang daily. During the 2001 Chinese New Year's Eve, they deceived Tang Jinai's family. They said that they would take her to a hospital, but they took her to the Zengcheng Drug Rehabilitation Center. Two months later, because she refused to give up Falun Gong, Ms. Tang was taken to Guangzhou Chatou Forced Labor Camp. She was sentenced without due cause to one and a half years of forced labor.

Mr. Xie Hanzhu from Meizhou City, Guangdong Province, Suffers Inhuman Persecution at Sanshui Forced Labor Camp

Mr. Xie Hanzhu, 40, from Meizhou City, Guangdong Province, was an employee at the Office of Public Affairs. Because of his firm belief in Falun Gong, he was expelled from the Communist Party, dismissed from his job, and sentenced to detention in the former Section One of Group Five in Sanshui Forced Labor Camp. Mr. Xie has been there since December 1999. He has suffered the following cruel tortures:

1) On arrival at the Fifth Group, Mr. Xie was beaten savagely. The guards beat his chest and kicked his head. He was in excruciating pain and had trouble breathing after the beating.

2) Mr. Xie was conscripted into forced labor for over 12 hours daily. He and others were frequently forced to work overnight in order to finish assigned tasks. Those unable to complete an assignment were shocked with an electric baton or beaten with a whip made of metal that was covered with rubber. To cause maximum pain, the guards' bound two whips together, each as thick as a finger. Just one lash left black raised marks on the back. The backs of practitioners beaten with this whip were covered with scars.

3) No showers for three months. Because of the appalling hygiene practices in the camp, Mr. Xie's body was covered with lice, which bit him relentlessly. It was unbearably itchy, as his skin was inflamed and full of pus.

4) Mr. Xie clarified the truth about Falun Gong. Therefore, a guard ordered several inmates to drag him to the opening of the sewer pipe and forced him to breathe the stench for 10 minutes.

5) Prolonged shocks with electric batons. The guards used two high-voltage electric batons to shock Mr. Xie's entire body. They shocked the most sensitive areas, such as the ears, neck, nipples, armpits and soles of the feet. They forced the baton into his mouth and shocked him for an hour at a time. There were blisters all over his body after the torture.

6) Since the electric shock could not bend Mr. Xie's will, a guard pushed him to the ground. He lay face down and the guard brutally stomped on Mr. Xie's back with his leather boots. This guard also grabbed Mr. Xie's hair and struck his head against the floor. After this savage beating, Mr. Xie became so dizzy that he was unable to stand straight.

7) Cold showers in freezing weather. The guards ordered inmates to pour cold water over Mr. Xie for over half an hour in freezing weather. He shivered uncontrollably and his lips turned purple.

8) The torture of "five horses tearing apart the body." They forced Mr. Xie to sit in front of a pole with two inmates pulling his arms with all their strength and two others pulling his legs outward, causing excruciating pain. His arms and legs were bruised and swollen for days. He could not bend over or squat down. He was unable to sleep or go to the bathroom due to the pain.

9) Sleep deprivation. If Mr. Xie was not forced to work, after around 11 p.m., he was forced to "study" Marxist philosophy and write his understanding of what he read. He was not allowed to rest until he finished the notes. Sometimes the guards forcibly kept him awake. One guard talked to him for part of the night, and another for the rest of the night. The next day, Mr. Xie was forced to work all day. If he fell asleep, the guards would either kick or whip him. After two years of this persecution, Mr. Xie, formerly a vigorous and energetic young man, had become an emaciated, skinny, boney, gray-haired man, with a sickly complexion. His family members could not recognize him.

Organs Removed from Practitioners Murdered in the Persecution

Insiders have disclosed that transplantable organs of practitioners murdered in the persecution were removed and illegally sold. Hearing this news made us revisit cases of brutally murdered practitioners. We found that some bodies of practitioners tortured to death showed holes and sutures. We found that some were cremated without family approval, which is against Chinese law. We found other signs that indicated violation of the body. Therefore, we conclude that Jiang's regime not only committed murder by cruelly killing Falun Gong practitioners, but also the crime of selling people's organs.

One case in point: Ms. Hao Runjuan was a practitioner from Guangzhou. Her hometown was Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, and she lived in the Baiyun District of Guangzhou City. Ms. Hao was very healthy before she was arrested. After 22 days of torture by guards in the Guangzhou City Baiyun Detention Center, she lost her life. After her murder, the police authorities ordered an autopsy without the family's permission. As mentioned earlier, existing law requires the signature of a family member for an autopsy. After the family was asked to identify the body, the body was unrecognizable, and there were still fresh red bloodstains. Because the body was so disfigured, none of her family members believed it was Hao Runjuan, even after looking at the body twice. The authorities then took a blood sample for a DNA test from her two-year-old son to prove the body was truly Ms. Hao. It was confirmed that the body was that of Ms. Hao Runjuan.

5. Lies, Framing and Deceitful Propaganda

Since July 20, 1999, to justify the persecution of Falun Gong, Jiang's regime has utilized the propaganda machine of the entire nation to defame and entrap Falun Gong practitioners, cover the facts, fabricate all kinds of deceit and false stories, deceive people, and incite hatred on the part of people who do not know the truth about Falun Gong.

Yuan Runtian, a Murder in Panyu County, Guangdong

In the beginning of 2000, CCTV's "Focus Talk" program broadcast the news that Yuan Runtian from Panyu County, Guangdong, killed a village family with a knife. Yuan Runtian slandered the Teacher of Falun Gong and claimed that he had incited her to commit the murders.

One Falun Gong practitioner was Yuan Runtian's teacher when Yuan studied at the Guangzhou Light Industry Specialized School and knew that Yuan Runtian was not a practitioner. A former classmate from the same village said that Yuan Runtian's family had a history of mental illness. Her uncle often lost control and talked to himself non-stop. In early 1998, Yuan Runtian became absent-minded, suffered from delusion, and had no control over her thoughts. Falun Gong practitioners told her that her situation was not suitable for practicing Falun Gong, as Falun Gong does not encourage seriously mentally ill patients or someone whose family has a history of mental illness to practice. She expressed that she wouldn't practice anymore and returned all Falun Gong books and tapes. The school doctor also took her to Zhongshan No. 3 Hospital for treatment. Two years later, Yuan Runtian suddenly became mentally ill and killed people. The media took this opportunity to frame Falun Gong and claimed that Falun Gong's teachings incited her to commit these acts.

The Case of Ms. Shen Xinglian of Guangzhou

At the end of 1999, Guangdong TV instigated hatred towards Falun Gong by twisting and spreading the story of Ms. Shen Xinglian. Because she practiced Falun Gong, Ms. Shen Xinglian, former assistant to the Guangzhou Falun Gong Principal Assistance Center did not seek treatment for her illness and refused to see a doctor or take medication. She eventually passed away.

Ms. Shen Xinglian was a former employee of the Guangzhou Iron Cooperation Company. Before she began to practice Falun Gong, she had many illnesses and could no longer work. She took early retirement when she was over 40 to recuperate at home. She began to practice Falun Gong in 1993. Her health gradually improved and all her illnesses disappeared. Her mental outlook also changed drastically. She saved her family and her company tens of thousands of yuan in medical costs. Everyone at her workplace and in her neighborhood knew that practicing Falun Gong was the reason for her recovery. Shen Xinglian died in 1998 when she went to Beijing.

Let's think about this. Let's assume that a patient dies in hospital. Can one say that her death was caused by the hospital? Then, why is Falun Gong responsible for the death of the practitioner? If it is established that people who practice Falun Gong don't die, then will everyone in the world come to practice it so that they won't die? Why turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the fact that many people recovered from long-term illnesses after practicing Falun Gong and saved huge sums in medical expenses for the country? Yet, we take great pains to find a severely ill patient who did not practice and had come to the end of his/her natural life and insist that he/she died from practicing? If they die after they practiced Falun Gong, they are said to have died from the practice. Is this reasonable? They are said to be practitioners, but can he/she achieve the xinxing standards of a practitioner? If they only do the exercises and do not achieve the xinxing standard, won't they die at the end of their natural lifespan?

Suicide of Yu Suzhao; A Family in Huagong University also Included in the "1400 Cases"

A Falun Gong practitioner at the same practice site knows Yu Suzhao's situation. During the Cultural Revolution, Yu Suzhao was hospitalized at Fangcun Mental Hospital in Guangzhou for several months due to mental illness. In 1995, she hid her illness history from Falun Gong practitioners and began to practice Falun Gong. Falun Gong does not allow people who are mentally ill or whose family has a history of mental illness to practice Falun Gong. In early 1998, Yu Suzhao's mental illness reoccurred, and her family took her to the mental hospital. At the time, practitioners suggested that she not practice any more. She also agreed and returned all Falun Gong books and tapes, and no longer practiced Falun Gong. Half a year later, her mental illness reoccurred. She fell from a building and died.

6. Jiang Zemin's Secret Order: "No Responsibility is Assigned when Killing Falun Gong Practitioners. Killing is Counted as Suicide"

An inquiry by the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong showed that Guangdong Province is one of the provinces that persecuted Falun Gong most severely. Under the direct order of Jiang Zemin, the authorities "Take no responsibility in killing Falun Gong practitioners, killing is counted as suicide." As of October 2005, verified persecution deaths in Guangdong Province reached 64. Guangdong Province now stands at number eight among those provinces with the most deaths in China. Its persecution of Falun Gong is very brutal, and the situation is extremely serious.

A list of some of the practitioners who have died due to the persecution in Guangdong Province:

Hong Haoyuan (30, Chaozhou City), Lai Zhijun (50, Dongguan City), Zheng Huabing (19, Enping City), Chen Liwen (63, Gaozhou City), Huang Yaoying (68, Gaozhou City), Chen Chengyong (35, Guangzhou), Gao Xianmin (41, Guangzhou), Hao Runjuan (28, Guangzhou), Li Xiaojin (33, Guangzhou), Liu Shaobo (Guangzhou), Luo Zhixiang (28, Guangzhou), Rao Zhuoyuan (33, Guangzhou), Yang Xueqin (65, Guangzhou), Zeng Yuwen (25, Heyuan City), Deng Weiqun (Jiangmen City), Huang Weijun (50, Jieyang City), Wu Jingfang (51, Jieyang City), Huang Yulan (Maoming City), Li Liang (45, Maoming City), Luo Feiming (64, Maoming City), Yang Cheng (35, Maoming City), Chen Duo (54, Shantou), Wang Shubin (28, Shantou), Falun Gong disciple (28, Yangchun City)

1) Mr. Hong Haoyuan was 30 years old and an expert in mobile communication technology from the Chaozhou City Postal and Telecommunications Bureau in Guangdong Province. In the spring of 2000 when Mr. Hong went to Beijing and did the exercises at Tiananmen Square, he was detained in the basement of the Guangdong Provincial Office in Beijing. He also was once detained in a mental hospital, where he was force-fed and given injections daily. He was incarcerated among true psychopathic patients for a month. In May 2000, Mr. Hong was taken to Sanshui Forced Labor Camp. He continued to maintain his belief in Falun Gong and demanded his right to practice Falun Gong. He and several other practitioners went on a hunger strike in protest. Consequently, he was brutally tortured, confined in a tiny and totally dark room, subjected to electric shocks, and beaten. He suffered severe internal injuries.

At the former 7^th Group, the guards demanded that Mr. Hong pledge in writing that he would renounce Falun Gong. If not, they threatened to use two or three electric batons with more than ten thousand volts to shock him for over ten hours daily. Hong Haoyuan could no longer endure the torture and wrote the pledge against his will. In the second half of 2001, Mr. Hong practiced the exercises openly in the former 9^th Group (it is now the 3^rd Group of the First Branch Camp) and was beaten by guards with a bench. The bench broke apart, and his internal organs were severely injured. Before Mr. Hong was taken to Sanshui Forced Labor Camp, he was young, handsome, strong and healthy. After he returned home, he was skinny, emaciated and near death. His relatives, friends, and neighbors did not even recognize him. Because of the torture and severe injuries, Hong Haoyuan died in the early morning on January 5, 2003.

2) Mr. Gao Xianmin, 41, was a teacher at Guangzhou City Jinan University. On New Year's Day 2000, eleven practitioners from the Tianhe District in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, had a picnic in Tianhe Park. They were arrested and detained in the Tianhe and Tangxia Detention Center. The practitioners went on a hunger strike and were force-fed. Guard Zhu Wenyong ordered four criminal inmates to stand on a practitioner's limbs while other inmates forced the practitioner's mouth open with a toothbrush. Then they poured a whole packet (500 grams) of salt into a bottle, mixed it with only a little water, and force-fed Mr. Gao with this concoction. One of the female practitioners was once force-fed with two packets of salt. She could not move afterwards, remained unconscious for several days and nights, and lost control of her bowels and bladder. In the beginning when they force-fed Mr. Gao, one of the inmates witnessing the scene became frightened and fainted. Guard Zhu Wenyong had the prisoner removed and replaced him with another one to continue the force-feeding. Salt was poured into him before it was dissolved, and Mr. Gao lost consciousness on the spot. Several days later, Mr. Gao suddenly went into coma in the afternoon of January 17, 2000. He was taken to the hospital emergency room, but died as a result of the brutal force-feeding.

3) Mr. Lai Zhijun was the director of the Peoples' Congress in Fenggang Town, Dongwan City, Guangdong Province. Because he steadfastly practiced Falun Gong, he was detained at Dongwan Detention Center. He persisted in doing the exercises during his detention. On March 29, 2000, Mr. Lai was taken to Sanshui Forced Labor Camp. Four to five days later, he was tortured to death.

4) Mr. Chen Chengyong, 35, lived in the Haizhu District of Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, where he was an electrician at the Guangzhou Paper Manufacturing Corporation. Because he went to Beijing many times to appeal for Falun Gong, he lost his job. In January 2000, because Mr. Chen practiced Falun Gong publicly, he was detained in Guangzhou for 15 days and then for another three weeks in July 2000. He was also detained for one day in Beijing for unfurling a Falun Gong banner on Tiananmen Square. Because he refused to give up Falun Gong, Chen Chengyong was taken to the Guangzhou brainwashing center and suffered inhuman torment. On July 21, 2001, news spread that Mr. Chen Chengyong had died in a hut. As of now, his cause of death is unknown. We only know that the police arrested him at his home without cause. When his body was found in a hut, it already was in the last stages of decomposition. Mr. Chen's elder sister, also a practitioner, went to identify him but was taken to a brainwashing center. Because she refused to give up the practice, police sentenced her to two years of forced labor in August, disregarding the fact that her younger brother had just passed away. Mr. Chen's father could not bear the shock of losing a beloved son and having his daughter sentenced to forced labor. He died in September 2001. Mr. Chen's wife, Dai Zhizhen, an Australian citizen, wanted to come to China to get her husband's ashes, but officials at the Chinese Consulate in Sydney refused to grant her a visa. Eight months later, with the help of the Australian government, Mr. Chen Chengyong's ashes arrived in Australia.

5) Ms. Luo Zhixiang, 29, was an engineer in the Nongken Industry Corporation design office in Guangdong Province. On November 22, 2002, Ms. Luo was arrested by the 610 Office staff and taken to the Huangpu Drug Rehabilitation Center for brainwashing. She went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution. Later, she was sent to the Tianhe Chinese Medicine Hospital. She fell from the third floor and passed away on December 4. Mrs. Luo was three months pregnant. Upon hearing the sad news, Ms. Luo's parents-in-law took her one-and-a-half-year-old daughter to Guangzhou City. Her elder brother and sister also went with them. They asked for justice at the local police station and the 610 Office. They asked for an explanation and requested an autopsy to find the cause of death. They asked for financial compensation, but all their requests were refused. Staff from the local police station and the 610 Office urged the family members to have the body cremated. The family members insisted that they did not have the autority to sign and that her husband should sign the authorization for cremation. Ms. Luo's husband, Huang Guohua, was sentenced and detained at Chini Forced Labor Camp for two years for distributing Falun Gong truth-clarification materials. They did not allow him to see his wife one last time. Her body remained in the funeral parlor. Her family went to appeal but were not given any response, and they were even thrown out of the hotel where they were staying in Guangzhou. Two elderly grandparents are having to support a very young child, because the child's father is imprisoned in a forced labor camp, and the mother died.

6) Ms. Li Xiaojin, in her 30s, was a teacher at the University of Guangzhou. On the night of June 27, 2002, she was taken to Guangzhou City's Huangpu Drug Rehabilitation Center by the authorities and tortured to death the following day. A day later, half an hour after supper, an ambulance arrived at the Drug Rehabilitation Center. Many police officers also arrived at the brainwashing center. They took all the practitioners to a meeting room in the brainwashing center to watch television, forbidding anyone to leave the room. Then they blocked the entrance to the room where Ms. Li was staying and took photos inside the room. The ambulance did not leave until after 7:00 p.m. and the police left after 11:00 p.m. A few days later, the head of the local 610 Office told several practitioners that Ms. Li Xiaojin had died.

7) Ms. Wu Jingfang, 51, was a practitioner from Jieyang City, Guangdong Province. She was arrested on March 31, 2002, and detained at Jieyang City No. 2 Detention Center. She was killed by torture in less than ten days, and secretly cremated.

After 1:00 a.m. on January 22, 2001, the local police arrested Ms. Wu at home and took her to the county detention center without any due process. On September 21, 2001, she was taken to the brainwashing center. Ms. Wu did not comply with the authorities' unreasonable demands and became homeless after leaving the brainwashing center on December 27. On March 31, 2002, she was again arrested at a rental place and detained at Jieyang City No. 2 Detention Center. Ms. Wu went on a hunger strike but was tortured to death and her body was secretly cremated on April 11. Afterwards, the detention center feared being held responsible and took corrective action.

8) Mr. Li Liang, 45, lived in Nansheng, Maoming City, and worked at Maoming City Human Resources Bureau. He began to practice Falun Gong in 1998, and his chronic Hepatitis B was cured. On May 30, 2003, Peng Jian, Yang Weijie, Wu Ke, Li Bin from the Maoming City 610 Office and Yao Kangxin from Maoming City Human Resources Bureau broke into Mr. Li's home, arrested him, ransacked his home, and took him to Maoming Detention Center. Because Mr. Li refused to give up the practice, he was taken to Sanshui Forced Labor Camp. He was not allowed to study and practice the Falun Gong exercises. His lower limbs swelled severely from the torture he experienced. Mr. Li was taken to a hospital for emergency treatment and died on November 26, 2003.

9) Officers of the Jinsha Police Station arrested Mr. Chen Duo, 54, a practitioner from Shantou City, Guangdong Province, on May 15, 2003. On May 26, he was taken to the Shantou City Detention Center, where he was brutally beaten. Mr. Chen went on a hunger strike to protest his illegal detention, and the police reacted with even more brutal torture. He passed out three times from the vicious beating and was sent to the Tuopu Hospital for emergency treatment. On June 5, realizing that Mr. Chen was dying, the police asked his family to take him home. On June 9, 2003, Mr. Chen Duo passed away due to severe injuries from the torture. Learning of his death, the police confiscated the body, with the excuse of looking for the cause of death (actually they wanted to destroy the body and evidence). After the death of Mr. Chen Duo caused by Tuopu Detention Center (i.e. Shantou City Detention Center) was exposed on the Minghui/Clearwisdom website, the relevant authorities and officials of Shantou threatened his family instead of punishing the murderers.

10) Mr. Wang Shubin, 28, was from Waisha Town, Shantou City, Guangdong Province. He went to Beijing to validate Falun Gong in June 2000 and was arrested en route. During the two days it took for the police to escort him back to the local Waisha Police Station, he was tortured and interrogated day and night. More than a dozen policemen beat him simultaneously. One policeman stabbed his neck with a toothpick. They stomped on his chest, causing swelling inside and outside. Mr. Wang's blood was all over the ground. His wounds never healed completely, even after two years. Mr. Wang was later detained at Baisha and Chenghai City Detention Center, taken to Sansui Forced Labor Camp in October 2001, and sentenced to one year of forced labor. Another four months were added to his sentence.

In the forced labor camp, the guards forced Mr. Wang Shubin into a position called "flying the airplane." They exposed him to the hot sun in this position for a long time. At night he was locked in a cell and electrically shocked with several batons and beaten at the same time. The authorities claimed that they could "Make you helpless, no matter who you called on, the god in the heavens or the lord under ground." After a few months of high-pressure torture, Mr. Wang suffered a mental collapse. In order to brainwash him, the guards at Sanshui Forced Labor Camp took him to a hospital in Foshan City several times and injected him with unknown drugs. He was exposed to the sun at noon and not given any bed covers during the night. He refused to accept the clothes and quilt cover sent by his family members. They also soaked him in the rain on rainy days. His body was so abused that he became unrecognizable. His weight decreased by more than 35 kilograms (77 pounds). Even as they were brutally persecuting Mr. Wang, the labor camp guards extorted money from his family by threatening to kill their son. They tortured him and then took him home when he was near death. They sent local 610 Office staff to monitor him. Mr. Wang Shubin's mental and physical suffering cannot be described in human language. He died on October 5, 2004, at the age of 28.

People who have clearly understand the situation of Falun Gong have said that, during the six years of brutal persecution, practitioners have not betrayed their conscience or belief and have not answered violence with violence. Instead, they have peacefully and rationally told people the facts. Practitioners have selflessly suffered the persecution, led upright and noble lives, and helped innumerable people to be saved. They have safeguarded the truth, worked for justice, and given humankind the chance to return to "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance." Falun Gong practitioners have given humans the opportunity to have a wonderful future. They are truly saving people.

Friends, please tell your relatives and neighbors the truth about Falun Gong. This is truly important for them. Please say "No!" to the evil lies and the persecution. When everyone rejects the lies, they will disappear in the light of the sun, and together, we will create a wonderful and bright future.

n the detention centers and labor camps in Mainland China where Falun Gong practitioners are illegally imprisoned, force-feeding is not for saving lives, but for harming and persecuting innocent people. In the name of "saving" lives, the authorities deceive and confuse the international community and Chinese people while attempting to suppress the imprisoned practitioners through cruel torture.

In Mainland China, once a Falun Gong practitioner is arrested or illegally detained, it means he or she will be deprived of not only freedom but also all legal rights as a citizen, such as the right to appeal or the right of visitation. However, Falun Gong practitioners will not yield to such evil or give up their belief in "Truth, Compassion, Forbearance" in exchange for their freedom. Under the most vicious torture, they often choose hunger striking to protest the persecution.

When a detainee refuses food, it usually means that he or she has been wrongfully accused and severely abused. In any country that cherishes life and respects human rights, three-day hunger strikes need to be reported to the authorities, and seven-day hunger strikes are dealt with carefully. However, in China, the illegal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners has never stopped. On the one hand, every practitioner who goes on hunger strike will be force-fed and further tortured by police. On the other hand, the perpetrators, from the central government to the local level, will label Falun Gong practitioners who go on a hunger strike as "committing suicide." The CCP-controlled media then deceives people and claims that the force-feeding is to "save" their lives.

Using the media, the Chinese government has been fabricating lies over the past six years. Even many families of Falun Gong practitioners were deceived by the propaganda. Some only wake up to realize the truth after the exposure of cases where practitioners were "transformed" to the point of becoming ill, handicapped, and even mentally ill or dead.

Most of the detained Falun Gong practitioners who were illegally arrested on September 23, 2005, when the Daqing City 610 Office dispatched a large group of police officers to arrest Falun Gong practitioners within the city, were subjected to forced-feeding and torture after carrying out a hunger strike. Let's see exactly how the authorities "save" Falun Gong practitioners' lives at the Daqing Detention Center and Labor Camp.

The atrocities at Daqing detention center

At Daqing Detention Center, when someone goes on a hunger strike, the warden never asks why. No one will care or bother to ask for the first three days. On the fourth day, the warden will ask the practitioner: will you eat or not? If the answer is no, then the practitioner will be dragged out to be force-fed. No one cares to hear your appeal or request. One is subjected to force-feeding twice a day. Each time, four criminals drag the practitioner to a corner of the duty hall to place him on a specified bed. They hold down the four limbs so that the practitioner cannot move. Two doctors take turns force-feeding. A female doctor named Qi is especially vicious. While forcefully inserting the tube she harshly shouts, "Swallow! Swallow!"

They use the same force-feeding tube on several people, until the tube breaks. After it is pulled out from one practitioner, they rinse it with cold water to "sterilize" it and insert into the nose and throat of the next practitioner. The tube will be kept in a regular plastic bag and will be used the next day. The secretions, blood, gross food and stomach fluids that stick to the tube often make the participating inmates throw up and they cannot recover for several days.

Practitioners who are subjected to force-feeding experience different degrees of bleeding, ranging from nosebleeds to vomiting blood. Long-term force-feeding results in severe injury to the nose, swelling, bleeding, and pain. However, no one will care for the practitioners and they continue the force-feeding. Practitioner Tang Zengye went on a hunger strike in protest of the persecution. Consequently they force-fed Tang every day. The police and participating criminal inmates were very violent and vicious. After vomiting a large amount of blood, Tang Zengye still had to suffer through more force-feeding.

Force-feeding is a horrifying experience. At Daqing Detention Center, the process of the first forced-feeding administered to every Falun Gong practitioner who was involved in the September 23 arrests was videotaped. They use it as "evidence" to report to the 610 Office. Watching the practitioners' struggling, vomiting, bleeding and screaming during force-feeding, the perpetrators often mock, make fun of or even beat them up.

Practitioners once asked the participating doctor: "Don't you fear that they will die from such cruel force-feeding?" That doctor said, "If that happens, it has nothing to do with us. We can say that you died from disease." According to one source, the detention center has a death quota every year. Since 2002, at least three practitioners have died from force-feeding at Daqing Detention Center. Practitioners Lu Xiuyun and Wang Shuqin died in 2002 and Yang Yuhua died on May 12, 2005. Countless practitioners suffer injury or complications as a result of force-feeding.

The crimes committed in Daqing Labor Camp

Compared to the Daqing Detention Center, the situation is even graver at Daqing Labor Camp.

Falun Gong practitioner Li Yequan was one of the practitioners illegally arrested on September 23, 2005. On September 27, he was sentenced to two years in a labor camp and was imprisoned in the 1^st Division of Daqing Labor Camp. He went on a hunger strike and requested to be released. Lai Zhonghui, the instructor of the 1^st Division, and policeman Wang Yingzhou incited criminals to handcuff and chain Mr. Li. He was subjected to force-feeding three times a day, sometimes lasting four hours. As a result, his throat was injured and he repeatedly lost consciousness. Inmate Wang Yingzhou, who claimed he was a reincarnated ghost from hell, together with other criminals, force-fed over one pint of white wine into Li Yequan's mouth. He also spit into his mouth. Li Yequan has been without food or water for sixty-three days. He is unable to walk and his body temperature is only 30^oC (86^oF). He shivers all the time. He also suffers from pneumonia and a nervous system disorder. His white blood cell count is up to 20,000.

At present, over half of the practitioners who were involved in the September 23 arrests are still detained. Many are still on hunger strike. Such enormous effort and sacrifice is a courageous means to fight for the basic rights they have been deprived of - the right of belief and the right to live.

At 3:00 p.m. on November 22, 2005, over 30 people and ten police vehicles from the Kongjiazhuang Town 610 Office, the National Security Bureau,  Local Police Station and the Security Association of Taishizhuang Village, Wanquan County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, broke into Falun Gong practitioner Yan Aizhi's home and arrested her again. They searched the whole house and the courtyard, stole money, and took away her cell phone, Walkman, Falun Gong books and other personal possessions. Her family's valuables were also taken.

At that time, Ms. Yan had just returned home after having been homeless to avoid arrest. Ms. Yan's family members tried to visit her at the local police station. The police said, "She is not allowed to have visitors." At first, the local police said that Ms. Yan was arrested by the National Security Bureau, not by them. Later on they said, "The Communist Party gives us money, so we will do it. Does Falun Gong give us money? Go, go, go," and they pushed her family members out the door.

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Yan Aizhi, who lived in Taishizhuang Village, Kongjiazhuang Town, Wanquan County, has been repeatedly persecuted. Around 6:00 p.m. on July 13, 2004, six police vehicles arrived at Ms. Yan's home. Over twenty people, including officers from Zhangjiakou City, Wanquan County, the Kongjiazhuang Police Station, and the Taishizhuang Village Party Committee, besieged and then ransacked Ms. Yan's home. They forcefully restrained and threatened Ms. Yan's daughter, Zhang Baozhen, in order to locate her mother. After being taken away, Baozhen was so terrified that she injured herself, which almost cost her life. They also sent people to harass Ms. Yan's mother and her other relatives and friends. Officials have staked out these homes in order to capture Ms. Yan, who had been forced to leave town and become homeless.

At present, Ms. Yan is being imprisoned in the Kongjiazhuang Town Local Police Station. (This police station's personnel have been known to use violence against Falun Gong practitioners.) On February 23, 2005 Falun Gong practitioners Ms. Zhao Weiping and her mother-in-law, Ms. Duan Xiuguo, were detained in the Kongjiazhuang Town Local Police Station. They were mercilessly beaten by the Deputy Chief of Police, Li Xiaojun, policeman Li Haijiang, and 4 to 5 other police officers. The beatings caused Ms. Duan's face to become distorted and swollen at the temples. There was a lot of inflammation around her eyes, especially her left eye, which was swollen shut. Her face and mouth were also swollen.
