Wang Zengren, 70 years old, was from Deyang City, Sichuan province. He was repeatedly detained and persecuted by police and 610 Office staff because he persisted in practicing Falun Gong. In May 2003, he was illegally sentenced to forced labor. In Deyang prison he was tortured and drugged. His skull had two holes from beatings, so he was released on medical parole. He passed away on January 29, 2006. More details follow.
Mr. Wang Zengren was from Gaodou village, Yangjia town, Jingyang district, Deyang city. He had retired from the first division of the Mechanical Construction Company in Sichuan province. Before practicing Falun Gong, he had heart disease, diabetes and rectal cancer. He began to practice Falun Gong in 1997, and in two years all his diseases disappeared without further treatment. He felt the happiness of being free of pain. After the persecution began, he was detained three times because he clarified the truth about Falun Gong. Police ransacked his home many times, and confiscated two years' salary totaling 32,000 yuan.
In the last ten days of October 2000, policeman Lin Dexi arrested Mr. Wang. Lin was manipulated by the director of Jingyang district police sub-station, Xiang Huaming. Mr. Wang was handcuffed and detained at the police sub-station for one night. The next day he was sent to Deyang Detention Center and illegally detained for fifteen days.
At around 11 p.m. on August 15, 2001, police Xiang Huaming and Lin Dexi and 12 others went to Gaodou village, Yangjia town and seized Wang Zengren and his wife Tian Xingqiong. They took them to the local police station. Wang and his wife were not allowed to sleep, and they were assaulted by mosquitoes all night. Several Falun Gong books, truth-clarification materials, ID cards and address books were confiscated from their home. On August 16, Wang Zengren was detained at the Deyang City Detention Center for another fifteen days. He was transferred to the detention center in Jingyang district, Deyang city, and detained for another fifteen days.
In 2001, Yangjia town police caught Wang Zenren at the Deyang railway station and sent him to the Deyang City Detention Center for fifteen days. He was held for another four days by Yangjia town police. In the meantime, six to seven people--including police from Yangjia police station and Gaodou village security officer Yu Yunshou--broke down the door to Wang's house and ransacked it.
On August 23, 2002 Wang Zengren was again arrested, this time because he took part in a Falun Gong group practice with 92 people. At around 11:15 a.m. on September 25, 2002, Wang Zengren was deceived by Yangjia police chief Xiang Huaming into going to the Gongnong village police station. Xiang Huaming ordered Gongnong police to send Wang Zengren to Deyang city detention center. He was illegally detained there for nine months and in the middle of May 2003, he was illegally sentenced to two years of forced labor. His pension was also stopped.
On June 30, 2003, Wang Zengren was detained at Deyang city prison (95th Plant at Huangxu town), where the guards tortured him. The following is what Wang Zengren said before his death: "On the morning of August 4, two guards told me to go to the health office at the gate. One of them named Cui said I should stand by the window. He then told me to bend toward the windowsill. He wiped my head with an unknown drug and I fainted suddenly."
Wang Zengren was injected with unknown drugs and was kept unconscious for 12 days. He was incontinent, suffered anal erosion, his legs were swollen and he could not walk. Wang's head had two holes in it from the beatings he received, and as a result of all the persecution he suffered, Wang can no longer take care of himself. Wang Zengren was released on medical parole and he passed away on January 29, 2006.
Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Liu Jizhi, age 51, is one of the victims of the November 2005 rape case in Zhuozhou City, Hebei Province. In early March 2006, policemen from the Zhuozhou City 610 Office and National Security agents arrested her again. Her daughter was also arrested. Due to severe mental and physical trauma, Ms. Liu Jizhi has shown symptoms of a mental collapse.
On the afternoon of November 25, 2005, Ms. Liu Jizhi was brutally beaten and raped. Her buttocks and legs were covered with bruises
At around 8 p.m. on November 24, 2005, the CCP Dongchengfang Town
Political and Judiciary Committee members and policemen stormed into
Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Liu Jizhi's home by climbing over the
outside wall. They ransacked her house, arrested her, and took her and
three other practitioners (Ms. Han Yuzhi, Mr. Wei Baoliang, and Mr.
Wang Helin) to the Dongchengfang Town Police Station. The practitioners
were brutally beaten and tortured. Policeman He Xuejian grabbed Ms.
Liu's breasts with a filthy smile and said, "Am I being a bad guy?" On
the afternoon of the next day, He Xuejian took Ms. Liu Jizhi to his
dorm, beat her repeatedly with a rubber baton, and proceeded to rape
her. 610 Officer Wang Huiqi witnessed the whole process until his
colleague He Xuejian began to strip off Ms. Liu's pants. He Xuejian
raped another Falun Gong practitioner, Ms. Han Yuzhi (age 41), in his
dorm after he raped Ms. Liu. He Xuejian's roommate, policeman Wang
Zengjun, was lying on his bed the whole time. He watched his roommate
rape the two women and did nothing to stop it. Officials even extorted
three thousand yuan from Ms. Liu's husband after the rape.
The shameless behavior of He Xuejian is an insult to himself and his
family. He raped two ladies of his mother's generation.
News of the rapes provoked condemnation from all over the world. The
criminal He Xuejian has been detained, but the CCP regime put the rape
victims and witnesses on a wanted list with a 100,000 yuan reward on
each. These practitioners have become destitute and homeless to avoid
certain arrest in their homes. By the end of 2005, the CCP had arrested
more than ten practitioners in connection with this incident in
Zhuozhou City.
According to reliable sources, under huge
international pressure, rapist He Xuejian has been detained. On
February 23, 2006, CCP officials from Baoding City had a meeting in
Zhuozhou City, urging Zhuozhou City Police Department Headquarters to
take responsibility to arrest the rape victims and all witnesses before
He Xuejian's trial date. They want to destroy the evidence and set the
villain free, just as the CCP always does.
Ms. Liu Jizhi has
shown signs of a nervous breakdown because of the enormous physical and
mental trauma she has endured since last November. Her daughter had to
leave school (she was due to take college entrance exams soon) to take
care of her. They were working in a laundromat while hiding from the
officials.
They have now been arrested. Zhuozhou City 610 Office and National
Security agents from the Zhuozhou City Police Department brought them
in.
Since January 26, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners illegally detained at Daqing prison have been on a hunger strike to protest the torture inflicted on them. Police are torturing them through force-feeding and strictly blocking news about this. The current condition of these practitioners is unknown.
According to sources, practitioners on hunger strike include Pu Fanwei, Jin Sheng, Wang Yudong, Zhang Zhi, Guan Zhaoqi, Zhang Zidong, Jiang Derong, Li Ronghong, Zhong Zhaoqin, Zou Guoyan, Wang Junfeng, Deng Qingshan, Yao Bin, Li Chao, Li Zhanbin, Zhai Zhibin, Zhao Yu'an, Zhang Xingye and others.
The head of the prison Wang Yongxiang and others incited the director of the prison hospital Gao Qing and deputy director Huang Zhiwei to force-feed highly concentrated saltwater once a day to practitioners on hunger strike. They assigned each prison ward to forcefully take practitioners to the hospital to receive force-feeding and intravenous infusion. The force-feeding is very brutal. Many prison police and inmates use this as a chance to torture practitioners. When practitioner Jin Sheng suffered nose bleeds and vomited blood as a result of force-feeding, Huang Zhiwei still did not stop. Practitioners subjected to force-feeding suffered unimaginable pain. Their lives are in great danger. Few of their families have had the courage to seek their release. Consequently, the vicious police torture practitioners without any fear.
As of February 11, practitioners Zhang Zhi, Guan Zhaoqi, Wang Yudong, Li Ronghong, Zhao Yu'an, Zhang Xingye, Pu Fanwei were still unable to get out of bed. They were extremely weak. Pu Fanwei was nearly unconscious and Zhang Zhi was in critical condition. At present, Daqing prison strictly blocks news regarding their situation. Therefore the current condition of these practitioners is unknown.
Mr. Ning Jun was 50 years old and lived on the Xiertiao Road in the Xian District of Mudanjiang City. Mr. Ning had a firm belief in Falun Gong and was sentenced to forced labor several times. In the labor camp he suffered inhuman torture many times. In September 2002, he was reported to the police for "clarifying truth" in the Mudanjiang City. He was arrested and sent to Aimin Police Station, where he was tortured until he almost died. The Aimin Public Security Subdivision was notified twice by the detention center that Mr. Ning's condition was critical, but the detention center authorities refused to respond. They sentenced him to five years of forced labor. At the beginning of 2004, Mr. Ning was sent to Mudanjiang Prison. He was in critical condition in the prison in September 2004 and passed away on August 12, 2005.
Mr. Ning Jun was sentenced to forced labor because he appealed on behalf of Falun Gong in Beijing
In September 1999, Mr. Ning Jun went to Beijing with a fellow practitioner to appeal for Falun Gong. He was arrested and sent to the No. 2 Detention Center in Mudanjiang. In December he was transferred to a brainwashing center. Mr. Ning had a firm belief in Falun Gong. He was sent back to the detention center on January 2, 2000, and sentenced to two years of forced labor.
In July 2000, the Sidao Forced Labor Camp in Mudanjiang forced 20 practitioners to form a "study group." It was actually a brainwashing session in disguise. Policeman Qiu Chen persecuted practitioners by forcing them to execute military drills. When the camp authorities found out that practitioner Mr. Song Yan, who is still in Mudanjiang Prison, possessed a copy of Zhuan Falun, they beat him. Police chief Zhang Junrong and guard Li Longyu searched all the practitioners and beat them. Zhang Junrong personally beat Mr. Ning Jun; he slapped his face and punched him repeatedly. Practitioner Li Qiliang suffered a nervous breakdown and remained mentally disordered due to the persecution.
Because Mr. Ning was so brutally abused in the detention center, he developed peritoneal dropsy, an enlarged abdomen, bloody urine and difficulty walking. When the authorities still could not change his belief, they sent him back to the prison. He was later sent to the hospital and diagnosed with liver problems and peritoneal dropsy. The labor camp had no choice but to release him on medical grounds.
He stayed at home for only five months. Manager Ma Libiao and guard Li Longyu deceived him into going back to the labor camp, where they held him for another nine months. He was finally released on October 11, 2001.
Mr. Ning Jun was reported while clarifying the truth
On September 20, 2002, someone reported Mr. Ning while he was clarifying the truth in Hongqi Hospital. He was tortured day and night, but the police still couldn't get any information from him. When he stated, "You can do nothing to change me, even the labor camp could not change me," the police took him to the labor camp and the people there recognized him. He was transferred to Aimin Police Station. The police there tortured him for several days and nights. He developed generalized edema as a result. The director of the Political Security Department, who had known Mr. Ning for years, told him, "If you turn in your computer, printer and copy machine, we'll release you." But even after they received the computer, printer, and copy machine, they still held Mr. Ning in the No. 2 Detention Center in Mudanjiang.
Mr. Ning was a target in the No. 2 Detention Center. The director, Liu Jun, and police officer Wang Qiang ordered informer Fu Junhong and three other inmates to monitor Mr. Ning 24 hours a day and to deprive him of sleep. Officer Wang Qiang locked him to the floor with shackles, a procedure used only for death row inmates. The authorities gave him less than two sips of water and one small piece of bun a day. The authorities did not release him until his leg was swollen nearly to the size of his waist.
By the end of 2003, the detention center had notified the Aimin Police Station twice about Mr. Ning's critical condition, but the Bureau refused to respond. Director Liu Jun and policeman Wang Qiang pretended to release him on medical grounds but instead send him to Mudanjiang Prison before he recovered his health.
Mr. Ning was sentenced to five years and sent to Mudanjiang Prison before the 2004 Chinese New Year. In September 2004, he had a physical exam performed by a city hospital. They declared that he was basically dying. The prison administration did not send him to the PoliceHospital until November, after they had extorted money from Mr. Ning's family.
After coming home, Mr. Ning Jun began studying the principle of Falun Gong and improving his character, sharing experiences and helping fellow practitioners. He continued to clarify the truth about the persecution, to write letters to practitioners in prison, and to help the practitioners who made mistakes in the past. He also contacted practitioners outside the Mudanjiang area, helping everybody to improve together. But the long-term persecution had destroyed his health, and he passed away on August 12, 2005.
Practitioner Ms. Mi Changrong of Donghuayuan Village, Yunyang Town, Nanzhao County, Nanyang City, Henan Province, died on July 29, 2005, as a result of the persecution. The police and local officials had subjected her to threats and harassment over an extended period of time. They had also confiscated her home, and on many occasions, they had arrested her husband Li Xingcheng or put him in a forced labor camp. On June 8, 2005, they had again arrested Mr. Li.
Ms. Mi was 54 years old. Before she learned Falun Gong in 1997, she had nephritis and was very weak. She took medicine often, but nothing helped. After she practiced Falun Gong for two months, her illness disappeared and she became strong.
When Ms. Mi's husband clarified the truth to his students, his co-worker, who did not want to hear the truth, reported him to the authorities. In the afternoon on May 30, 2005, National Religion Team Chief Yang Junzhou led officers of the Nanzhao County Police to seize Ms. Mi's home. On June 8, the police arrested her husband at the Yunyang Railroad Station and then imprisoned him in the Nanzhao County Detention Center.
Since the persecution of Falun Gong started in 1999, the authorities have imprisoned Ms. Mi's husband or put him in a labor camp on several occasions. They also have extorted 30,000 yuan from him. On June 9, Ms. Mi sent clothing to her husband. In May, she requested her husband's wages from Yunyang Town School Committee Director Zhang Chunzheng, but he responded by threatening her.
After losing her source of financial support and hearing that her husband might be sentenced to prison yet again, Ms. Mi suffered greatly in both mind and body. She died in the Xiangdong Machine Factory Staff Hospital on July 29, 2005.
Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Zhang Qinghua from Zhuolu County was arrested on January 7, 2006. She is currently detained at Daxing County's Tuanhe Forced Labor Camp in Beijing. The persecution has left her mentally traumatized.
Ms. Zhang, 40 years old, was a resident of Wangzhuang Village in Baodai Township, Zhuolu County. She began Falun Gong practice in 1999 and firmly believes in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. She is a friendly and caring person. To make a living, two years ago she and her family moved to the Southern Zhangdai Village areas of Donggaocun Town in the Pinghu District close to Beijing.
On January 5, 2006, Ms. Zhang used her boss's telephone to call practitioner Yang Guilan's home in Zhuolu County. Ms. Yang had been persecuted and left home prior to the call. She asked Yang's daughter, "Is your mother home? This is Rehua (her nickname) and I am in the Pinghu District area." The next day, on January 6, someone called Ms. Zhang's phone and asked, "Are you Rehua?" Later the phone rang several times. Whenever Ms. Zhang answered the phone, there was silence on the other end. On January 7, six police officers from Pinghu District Police Department rushed into Ms. Zhang's place, searched her home, confiscated her Falun Gong books and truth-clarification flyers, and arrested her.
On February 18, Beijing forced labor officials called Ms. Zhang's home and asked if Ms. Zhang had either a personal history or a family history of psychosis. After 40 days of not knowing her whereabouts, the family learned that Ms. Zhang was detained at the Daixing County's Tuanhe Forced Labor Camp and had been sentenced to two years of forced labor. The officials informed the family that she had become mentally disordered.
Ms. Zhang was persecuted because agents from the 610 Office at the National Security Office in Zhuolu County were monitoring practitioner Yang Guilan's telephone.
Zhuolu County and Pinggu District 610 Office agents, as well as National Security officials, made a joint effort to persecute Ms. Zhang so that she suffered serious mental trauma. We are Falun Gong practitioners and do not have any enemies. We hope that the 610 Office agents, as well as those from the National Security Bureau, treasure their consciences and stop persecuting Falun Gong. They should be kind toward Falun Gong practitioners and treasure the blessings and peace that Falun Gong bestows from the heavens to everyone who believes that Falun Gong is good. We hope that everyone will help to secure Ms. Zhang's release.
Qianjin Prison in Beijing is a huge prison administered by the Qinghe Branch of Beijing's Prison Management Bureau. Any male practitioner who is a permanent resident of Beijing, when sentenced to imprisonment, is to be detained there.
Currently, 150 to 160 practitioners are being detained in this prison. Among them are Qinghua University lecturers and students, workers, farmers, policemen, and soldiers. After arriving, they are locked in small cells (three meters long and one and a half meters wide, about 10 by 5 feet) and monitored 24 hours a day by criminal inmates in rotating shifts. The police also come to question them and try to "reform" the practitioners and ask if they admit to their "crimes."
The police pressure the practitioners and put them under constant duress. For example, the police give them two options: One, to admit to their "crimes" and their circumstances will be "relaxed" (that is, after going through their "procedures" the practitioner can return to the cell) or Two, not to admit to their "crimes" and their circumstances will become more severe. In this case they first lengthen the interrogation time and deprive the practitioners of sleep or only let them sleep for an hour or two. Beatings and verbal abuse follow. They compel practitioners to sit on a small stool that is only 12 centimeters (about five inches) high and prohibit them from moving, except when eating or going to the washroom.
Since the year 2000, dozens of practitioners have been cruelly abused and mistreated. Between 2000 and 2001 the evildoers used more than one electric baton at the same time to shock practitioners who refused to be "reformed." Many also beat practitioners at the same time. The electric shocks made some practitioners lose consciousness or they became physically handicapped from the beatings. Prison Chief Zhang Fu personally led police to use electric batons to shock practitioners and also beat those who refused "reformation." Later he was fired from his post for gambling. Some practitioners were made to wear strait jackets for going on a protest hunger strike.
As the evil in other dimensions became largely eliminated, the environment did gradually improve. But the captors did not let up for a single day in persecuting practitioners. Since 2003, the police have not beaten practitioners publicly. They have incited criminal inmates to beat the practitioners. From purely physical punishments, the persecution has escalated to include both mental and physical torture. They use both coercion and enticement to make the criminal inmates carry out corporal punishment and insult and maltreat practitioners. Essentially, the criminals benefit if they cooperate. They don't have to go out for forced labor, yet they can earn more points and reduce their prison terms. As a result, many criminal inmates fight to get the "lucrative" task of persecuting practitioners. The more cruel and debased the methods the criminal use, the more the prison police reward him.
The police also get credits, rewards and a chance of promotion for active persecution. Thus they cruelly abuse, mistreat, and torture practitioners.
Some practitioners continue to stand firm and protest the persecution. They publicly declare that their previous agreements to be "reformed" were against their conscience and should not have been issued. These practitioners are persecuted again. No prison information is permitted to reach the outside. None of the practitioners are able to study the principles of Falun Gong except for those that they have previously memorized.
This place is a very terrible environment. The deceit, shamelessness and cruelty of the Chinese Communist Party are blatantly obvious on a daily basis. The atmosphere of fear and hate continually proliferates and infects every one.
Cao Lihua, political head of the Ninth Team, and middle team leader Chen Jun were given merits for successfully "reforming" some Falun Gong practitioners. Many practitioners had to suffer from abuse and mistreatment because of these two individuals. Currently practitioners in the prison are detained in teams one, nine and twelve.
The Harbin Women's Prison, also known as Heilongjiang Provincial Women's Prison, has ruthlessly persecuted Falun Gong practitioners. Torture has maimed many practitioners here, but the guards are still not satisfied and thus continue to persecute these practitioners. This report describes some of the cases.
Torture Caused Cao Yingchun to Contract Fatal Illness
Mrs. Cao Yingchun, 52, is from Mudanjiang City. In 2002, officers Chen Xianrui and Chen Guang of the Mudanjiang Police department arrested and tortured Mrs. Cao. She sustained several broken ribs and fractured bones. Mrs. Cao's health has not improved since her release.
In October 2004, police arrested Mrs. Cao again and illegally sentenced her to eleven years of imprisonment. At that time Mrs. Cao was unable to take care of herself.
Torture began as soon as Mrs. Cao arrived at the Harbin Women's Prison. Guards shackled her wrists to her ankles. Fifteen days of continuous torture put Mrs. Cao in critical condition. She was sent to the prison clinic. At that time she could not even move her jaw. Whatever the nurse fed Mrs. Cao all leaked out. Her condition did not improve in two months, so the prison sent her to the Harbin Second Hospital.
Diagnosis indicated that Mrs. Cao had contracted myasthenia gravis, a fatal disease that is practically incurable. Mrs. Cao had this disease prior to practicing Falun Gong, and had spent over 100,000 yuan on related medical bills. Her health improved significantly by practicing Falun Gong.
In the prison, Mrs. Cao continued to study the principle of Falun Gong and do the exercises. Under orders from the authorities, an inmate named Xiu Shufen frequently beat and swore at such steadfast practitioners. Once time Xiu even stuffed a wet towel into Mrs. Cao's mouth to silence her.
Practitioners Guan Shuyun, Li Yushu, and Liu Shufen Hunger-Strike in Protest
Falun Gong practitioner Guan Shuyun was tortured by suffocation four times. She went on a 21-day hunger strike to protest. During this time the guards suffocated Guan again. Currently Guan is in solitary confinement.
Falun Gong practitioner Li Yushu is illegally detained in the Harbin Women's Prison. She held a hunger strike for over a year, during which time she was frequently force fed via a stiff rubber tube inserted through her nose into her stomach.
Falun Gong practitioner Liu Shufen, 32, held a hunger strike for seven months. She was transferred from prison zone No. 4 to solitary confinement in the prison clinic. Inmates Li Guixiang and Wang Xin constantly monitor Ms. Liu.
Inmate Xiu Shufen does evil deeds
The inmate named Xiu Shufen, originally the leader of the so-called transformation team in the Harbin Women's prison, enthusiastically persecuted Falun Gong practitioners. Practitioners who refused to submit to the persecution were deprived of sleep. Practitioner Wu Yulan was almost tortured to death by Xiu. Xiu is now in charge of torturing practitioners in the prison clinic.
Falun Gong practitioners have been tirelessly clarifying the truth about the persecution and defamation of Falun Gong, and more and more people have thus begun awakening. In particular, the global dissemination of "The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party" has inspired 8.7 million people to renounce the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliated organizations. The CCP has completely lost its rationality, covering up the truth at all costs and hiring retired workers and unemployed people to work as security guards and patrolmen. The number of such people has steadily increased.
Each building area (there are several building areas in each residential area) is required to have four persons to monitor and patrol. These people are given binoculars and powerful flashlights for them to patrol around the clock. They patrol a building area almost once every one to two hours. Each residential area has a public security office and a Party committee that takes charge of so-called public security administration. But if incidents such as theft or robbery occur, they will not be responsible for the household's damage and compensation; nevertheless they keep collecting fees from residents for public security administration.
Jinchang City's Joint Defense Division also organized about 40 people just to follow Falun Gong practitioners. They also selected so-called "voluntary informants," who are neighbors of Falun Gong practitioners or who wait in front of or behind the practitioners' buildings, or on the same floor or the adjacent floor of practitioners in order to monitor them. They are responsible for recording a practitioner's every activity. In order to prevent people from reading truth clarification flyers or signs about the Nine Commentaries, each building is assigned a building monitor (or administrator) and a Party contact person to monitor everyone living in the building. For advertisements or housekeeping services posted on corridors, outer walls or in public places, they seldom tear them down, but if they see truth-clarification flyers, they will try all means to destroy them.
The following photos describe the situation:
Each residential area sets up a Party branch and so-called public security office, and each building has a monitor (or administrator) and a Party contact person.

There is a secret stronghold of National Security agents in North Goutou Village, south suburb of Baoding, Hebei Province. It is known that a few Falun Gong practitioners have been tortured there. National Security agents sneak in and out furtively, no doubt out of guilty consciences. All prisoners have their heads covered when they arrive, so they can't tell where they have been taken.
If you go south on Chaoyao Road from Baoding, a little over ten Li (a Chinese unit of length. 1 Li = 1/2 kilometre) past Liudao Crossing, pass the Great Wall Automobile Group, you will see the arch of South Goutou Village on the west side of the road. (Picture 1) Across the street is a road leading east. (Picture 2) If you follow this road, you will see a large compound on the north side. The National Security stronghold is inside the compound, which bears a sign reading "Baoding Dongxing Cement Products Ltd" at the gate. Warnings at the entrance read, "Do not enter! Hunting dogs will bite. Trespassers at your own risk. Please speak aloud (for help) if someone needs to enter." On the west side of the compound is the gate of a fire station. (Picture 3)

Two modern buildings located close to the north wall of the compound are occupied by National Security agents. (See pictures below.) The pictures clearly show the electric wire on the top of the wall. There are some cypress and pine trees in the compound. You cannot see what is going on inside, even from the top of the wall. The pictures also show clearly there are windows in all directions at the top of the building. There is a wheat field around the compound.

10. [Longkou City, Shandong Province] Many Practitioners Arrested Due to Pan Yumei's Report
"Collaborator" Pan Yumei (female), from Zhaojia Village, Dongjiang Town, Longkou City, has reported Falun Gong practitioners many times. Practitioner Ms. Yin Shuxian was sentenced to three years forced labor in 2003 because of her report; practitioner Mr. Tang Zhuqiang was sentenced to two years of forced labor in 2004, also due to her report.
In order to brainwash practitioners in Zhaojia Village, Pan had one
collaborator pretend to escape with handcuffs from the prison and hide
in the home of two practitioners.
The collaborator lied and told the practitioners that she wanted to
read the Falun Gong books and do the exercises, and then lead 610
