 On January 13, 2006, another brutal case of persecution against Falun Gong practitioners occurred in Shan County, Henan Province. Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Zhang Zhunli, 55, was arrested by the Shan County National Security Team and brutally tortured to death that same day. The police were afraid of being held responsible, so they threw Ms. Zhang out of a fourth-floor window, creating a cover-up to claim that Ms. Zhang committed suicide. After that, they sent Ms. Zhang's body to the No. 2 Hospital of Shan County for emergency treatment. In fact, Ms. Zhang was dead well before arriving at the hospital.

On January 8, 2006, the Shan County National Security Team suddenly conducted illegal searches of about 20 Falun Gong practitioners' homes in the county, confiscated their personal belongings and arrested them. The morning of January 13, the police broke into Ms. Zhang Zhunli's home, illegally searched her home and took away some Falun Gong books and Master Li's articles, as well as her children's computers. They then forcibly took Ms. Zhang to the fourth floor of the National Security Building in Shan County. They violently interrogated Ms. Zhang to find out the source of the Falun Gong books and articles.

Ms. Zhang firmly refused the lawless interrogators' irrational requests. In order to achieve their goal, the police brutally tortured her to death. The security team fabricated the suicide cover-up story and refused to inform Ms. Zhang's family.

The following day when Ms. Zhang Zhunli's family went to the National Security Building to inquire about her situation, the police claimed that Ms. Zhang had "committed suicide by jumping from the building" and that they had sent her to the hospital. When Ms. Zhang's family rushed to the hospital, all they saw was her body, covered in wounds. Ms. Zhang's family (non-practitioners) was extremely grieved and angry. In order to cover up this case, the national security team tried to negotiate with Ms. Zhang's family and wanted to quiet their complaints with a payment of 160,000 yuan. Ms. Zhang's family angrily refused it.

On January 15, Ms. Zhang's family wore funeral clothes and displayed several banners, which read "Be A Good Person, Get Arrested" and "Return My Mother" in the busiest area of Shan County, which attracted people's attention. People inquired about what had happened. In order to cover up their crimes, the Shan County Police Department dispatched more than 60 policemen and arrested all of the late Ms. Zhang's protesting family members. In addition, they quickly cremated Ms. Zhang's body in order to destroy the evidence.

It was reported that the police who were directly involved in this incident included Zhang Yahui, Lu Fei and Kang Zhuansen.

Before her death, Ms. Zhang Zhunli was once sent to a labor camp. Falun Gong practitioners in Shan County and Sanmenxia City, please continue collecting persecution facts and evidence, exposing the evil and clarifying the truth to the local people.

 My wife, He Xiuling, was a Falun Gong practitioner from Xingfushi Village, the Zhifu District, Yantai City of Shandong Province. She persisted in Falun Gong practice and for that she was tortured to death on March 11, 2004. Those responsible were Communist regime agents from the 610 Office in the Yantai Police Department, personnel from the Zhifu District Detention Center, and staff in the Liuhuangding Hospital of Yantai Province. Her body remains in frozen storage in a Yantai City funeral home. As of today, the unjust detention and murder of He Xiuling has not been investigated by the authorities, nor have the guilty parties been brought to justice.

On February 9, 2006, around 8:30 in the morning, one of my relatives and I went to the funeral home and requested to see He Xiuling's body. Staff from the funeral home told us, "We have never heard of this person. You need to get a letter of approval from the detention center before we can proceed with your request." My relative and I hurried to the detention center. The guard refused to let us in. I explained the situation to him and presented a signed agreement between the detention center and me. The guard read through the agreement and told us that Zhang Futian [apparently the signatory on the document] was no longer with the detention center, that he had been transferred. I said, "I will talk to whoever is presently the responsible person here." The guard made a phone call. The reply from the staff in the office was that only the director of the detention center could handle this issue but he was not in. I had no choice but to go back home.

The signed agreement actually stated that we, as Xiuling's family members, were permitted to see her body at any time. The detention center, the police department, and other related departments were not to obstruct family members from seeing Xiuling's body. However, the Yantai City Police Department breached the agreement. We were and are forbidden from seeing our deceased loved one. At noon I phoned detention center warden Ding Xianfeng and explained the situation to him. He said he did not know of the existence of such an agreement. He asked me at what time I would like to see Xiuling. When I said, "In the afternoon," he said that he could not approve it, that he had to ask permission from above, and that he would give me a reply on Monday. Following are details of what happened to my wife that led to her death.

Agents from the Zhifu District Police Department 610 Office arrested my wife and took her to a brainwashing center. On September 1, 2003, after my wife, He Xiuling, suffered abuse and mistreatment in the Zhifu District Brainwashing Center, she was transferred to the Nanjiao Detention Center in Yantai City, where she was interrogated under torture. She was handcuffed behind her back onto a bed rail, forcing her to maintain an awkward position. She could not crouch down or stand up. She was deprived of sleep and was forbidden to use the bathroom for six days and nights. At five o'clock on March 10, 2004, Li Wenguang from the Zhifu District 610 Office in Yantai City informed me that He Xiuling was in Liuhuangding Hospital in Yantai City. I hurried to the hospital, only to find her handcuffed to a bed by one hand and her lower body completely naked. She was in a state of incoherence and could not speak. I stayed in the hospital for less than 20 minutes before a male jailor shouted at me and drove me out. On the morning of March 11, He Xiuling passed away as a result of torture.

I have contacted Li Wenguang, head of the 610 Office, and Nanjiao Detention Center warden Zhang Futian numerous times, trying to bring these evildoers to justice. These two officers completely denied their responsibility. After Xiuling's case was exposed to the outside world, I attempted to file a lawsuit with the local procuratorial offices and local court. None of them accepted the lawsuit. Later, agents from the 610 Office tried to hush this up by offering me a 100,000-yuan bribe as a remedy. I firmly refused!

We appeal to those organizations and individuals who uphold justice in international society and inside China to show concern for He Xiuling's case.

The following is the agreement between the detention center and me for the handling of He Xiuling's body after she passed away.

Signed by: Zhang Futian (Signature),
I agree with the above stipulations.
Date: March 13, 2004

Ding Xiafeng, current warden of the Zhifu District Detention Center, Yantai City:

 In August of 2003, Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Zhao Guoan, 54, was illegally arrested and sent to the 3rd Forced Labor Camp in Xuchang City, Henan Province. At the end of December of the same year, he was tortured to death by Jia Zhigang and other policemen because they could not "transform" him.

Jia Zhigang, the leader of  Squadron 1, and Liu Tianxun, the political instructor, began to torture Mr. Zhao as soon as he was brought to the camp. One day they brought him to the second level of the dormitory building. Jia kept cursing Teacher while using the "rope tying" (1) method on Zhao Guoan. He snarled, "Let me see how long you can endure this. Nothing can make me believe that you will not write the three statements!" Political leader Liu pretended to be very kind but tried to persuade Mr. Zhao as well.

Liu Wei, a drug addict and also the leader of Squad 3 of  Squadron 1, often beat Mr. Zhao in secret. Sometimes Liu cursed him in front of the policemen, using the excuse that Mr. Zhao was working too slowly.

To persecute Mr. Zhao Guoan more severely, Jia transferred him to the so-called "disciplinary squad" (Squad 1). They assigned two people to Mr. Zhao--the leader of the class, Chen Guoqing, and a thug, Li Xiaoniu--to persecute him. They deprived him of every freedom.

One morning in 2003, Jia Zhigang and Xu Zusheng brought Mr. Zhao to an office where they tortured him by "rope tying" and shocking him with electric batons. Jia struck Mr. Zhao with his electric baton, forced him to tear out Master Li's portrait from Zhuan Falun and burned the picture.

On the afternoon of December 26, 2003, Mr. Zhao said that he wanted to talk with Ma Huating, the staff commissioner of Team No.3. Jia Zhigang brought Mr. Zhao to an interrogation room and brutally beat him. When Mr. Zhao went back to the work area, he said, "I know that Falun Dafa is good." The thug, Li Xiaoniu, slandered him, shouting slogans. He covered Mr. Zhao's mouth from behind and pushed him to the ground. Jia then tortured Mr. Zhao Guoan using the tiger bench method.

On the night of December 28, to reach the annual quota for "transforming" practitioners, Yan Zhenye, the chief of the labor camp, and Jiang Qingtai, the deputy chief, tortured Mr. Zhao. They chose eleven guards from three teams. Together with officers from the local police station, they beat Mr. Zhao until he was nearly dead. He was then sent to the hospital for emergency care. On December 29, 2003, Mr. Zhao Guoan died from the torture.

Zhao Guoan's wife found that flesh around his neck and under his chin was gone. Also, a chunk of flesh as big as a fist was missing from his chest. On his shoulder there was a bloody gouge as thick as an adult's finger that was made by a rope. His lower abdomen was covered with blue bruises. After untying the rope around his arms, she saw discovered that her husband's hands were too swollen to be recognized. From being bound, each ankle had circular abrasions as wide as a waist belt.

Later, the head of Group 3 Shi Baolong disclosed how Mr. Zhao Guoan was tortured to death: they used "rope tying" on Mr. Zhao 10 times. For the tenth time, they tied him for more than one hour until he was almost dead. Then, they untied him. According to regulations, "rope tying" can only be used nine times. Every tying can only last from three to five minutes, otherwise people can be disabled or even die. However, they don't have to obey any rules, regulations or laws when they persecute Falun Gong practitioners.

In order to cover up their crimes, the head of  Squad 1, Chen Guoqing, spread rumors that Mr. Zhao Guoan was ill and was sent to the hospital for treatment. Mr. Zhao had already been persecuted to death at the camp because he would not give up his belief in Falun Gong.

Notes:

(1) "Rope tying": The torture method called "rope tying" utilizes a finger-sized hemp rope soaked in water. The torturers put it around the practitioner's neck and tightly wrap it around the arms. In order to maximize the pain for the victim, they often strip the practitioner down to his underwear. Usually, over three people work together to apply this torture. When the rope reaches the wrists, it is tightened. They pull the practitioner's hands behind his back, both ends of the rope are inserted through the portion of the rope on the neck, then two of those administering the torture pull down both ends of the rope as hard as they can and then tie it. At this time, the blood circulation is cut off and the victim will experience increased heart rate, excruciating pain in both arms, and within a few minutes, heavy sweating.

In order to make sure the rope is as tight as can be, the torturers insert glass bottles and wooden sticks under the practitioner's wrists, so the rope will sink deep into his flesh. Meanwhile, they also slap the practitioner's face and shock him with electric baton(s). Each session of "rope tying" lasts ten to twenty minutes. After the rope is loosened, the victim has lost the feeling in his arms, and it takes a long time to return. For those who have experienced this torture, their arms become disabled in severe cases, or they cannot raise their arms, or they lose some function in the arms. The marks left on the arms by the rope usually don't disappear for one or two years.

My name is Su Baoli. I was born in 1971 and lived in Lijia Gucheng Village, Wangjiazhuang Town, Anqiu City, Shandong Province. I started practicing Falun Gong in 1997 and benefited tremendously from the practice, both physically and mentally. My character improved, and my relationship with my family became very harmonious. My husband and parents-in-law supported my belief, and we lived in peace and joy. We deeply enjoyed the wonderful life Falun Gong brought us.

On July 20, 1999, the wicked Chinese Communist Party started persecuting Falun Gong. That date marked the end of our peaceful life. In the past six years, hundreds of thousands of Falun Gong practitioners, including myself, have experienced unprecedented cruel persecution only because we persisted in our belief in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and being good people. Our families were broken up, and many of us were thrown into prison. I was detained 18 times in violation of the Chinese constitution, and my family was fined 43,500 yuan. I recently broke free from the latest incarceration and cannot put into words the amount of suffering I have gone through.

Summary of the persecution my family has endured

My older sister, practitioner Su Baolan, was tortured to death for her belief. Her home was ransacked many times. She was arrested, detained, tortured, and subjected to brainwashing. In October 2001, Communist regime agents from the Anqiu City 610 Office transported her to a brainwashing center. In early November her body was found near a river. This has been reported several times on the Minghui/Clearwisdom, website.

My father Su Xiaoyou and my other sister Su Baoyun were each sentenced to three years of forced labor. Their homes were ransacked many times for their belief in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. They were arrested, detained, tortured, and subjected to brainwashing. In October 2000, my father and sister were sentenced to three years of forced labor.

My mother Zhou Shufen was arrested and detained many times, also because of her belief. She lived in exile for a long time to avoid persecution.

While my father and sister were detained, agents from the Wangjiazhuang Town Communist regime and the town police station, as well as village Party secretary Su Zhaosheng from Xingshan Village, Wangjiazhuangzi Town, went to my parents' home many times. They broke the lock and took bank deposit book(s), motorcycle(s), VHS player(s), radio(s), a small metal cart and a platform scale, among other things. They also tried to cut down the trees in my parent's yard in addition to taking away their food, but some conscientious people stopped them.

In the spring of 2001 the police climbed over the wall and entered my parents' yard in an attempt to arrest my mother. They cut off the electricity and removed the electric line to my parents' home in October 1999 and never re-connected it.

Officers from the Wangjiazhuang Town Police Station arrested my father and me.

In October 1999, officers from the Wangjiazhuang Town Police Station in Anqiu City broke into my parents' home again. Without showing their IDs or a warrant, they ransacked the home and took Falun Gong books. They took my father and me to the police station and held us there for eight days.

At this time I had no choice but to abruptly wean my infant daughter from breastfeeding. My family brought food to my father and me at the police station. We slept on chairs. The police extorted a 20 yuan "living fee" from each of us at the time of our release.

I was subjected to persecution after going to Beijing for the first time to appeal

On the third day after I returned home from the police station, I set off for Beijing to appeal on behalf of Falun Gong and to speak up about the mistreatment of practitioners. I was arrested in Tiananmen Square and was sent to the Anqiu City Custody Center, where I was held for 15 days.

While in detention I received only a small bun twice a day. The authorities forced practitioners to watch slanderous videos and read slanderous books. They tried to force us to write "guarantee statements" to renounce our belief. I persisted in studying the Falun Gong principles and doing the exercises. The guards dragged me to the courtyard late at night and made me stay out in the freezing weather for more than six hours. The guards also forced the practitioners, including myself, to sit on the ground with both legs stretched out and both arms raised to shoulder level. We were forbidden to put our hands down. The guards would kick whoever put their arms down. I was only permitted to wear a sweatshirt and sweatpants. My body was numb and ached from the cold and exhaustion. We kept our arms up for six hours before the guards allowed us to put them down. Our arms were by then so rigid that we could barely let them down. After 15 days, they transferred me to the Monitoring and Administrative Division at the Anqiu City Detention Center.

I was held there for 33 days and fined nearly 2,000 yuan. Practitioners were often interrogated and forced to do slave labor. The guards tired to coerce us into writing guarantee statements. Some practitioners, including myself, continued to do the Falun Gong exercises. The guards would then hit us with rubber clubs and make us stay in the yard at night. Three practitioners lost consciousness from the bitter cold. Despite this cruelty, practitioners still kindly clarified the truth to the guards at every opportunity. Some guards stopped persecuting practitioners after learning the truth, while other guards went against their conscience and continued to torture practitioners in order to earn bonuses and promotions.

After I was held at Anqiu City Detention Center for 33 days, authorities from the Wangjiazhuang Town Police Station took me to the town government and attempted to coerce me into writing guarantee statements. I adamantly refused. I was released three days later.

Returning to Beijing to appeal

In mid-June 2000 I took off for Beijing to appeal for the second time. I was intercepted before I got there and was held at the Anqiu City Detention Center again. Every Chinese citizen is guaranteed the right to appeal, as stated in the Constitution of China, yet for exercising my right to appeal I was accused of "disrupting social order." In order to uphold my rights and belief and to protest the illegal detention, I went on a hunger strike. After five days of a hunger strike I was extremely weak. The jailers feared having to accept responsibility if I died, so they released me.

The second day after my return home, Wangjiazhuang Town Police Station officials arrested me once more and took me to the police station, where they held me for more than 30 days. My mother, who was 63 years old at the time, and two other practitioners were also held there.

The the police station personnel initially didn't give us any food. Director of the police station Han Fuben was very happy to see us suffer. He said, "Su Baoli, why don't you hold another hunger strike?" We held a group hunger strike to protest the illegal detention, and the police force-fed us.

A dozen days later I was again transferred to the Anqiu City Custody Center. The guards mistakenly inserted a tube into my trachea, and I almost suffocated. I kept vomiting blood. The sadistic guards continued to force-feed me. I was unconscious after the procedure and my pulse was quite weak. I was at the brink of death, but the officials refused to release me.

I was arrested on a "sensitive day"

Prior to July 20, 2000, Anqiu City 610 Office agents mobilized the police and other Communist regime agencies to arrest many practitioners in an attempt to prevent the practitioners from going to Beijing to appeal. Many practitioners in Anqiu City were sent to detention centers, custody centers, and police departments at the county and town level. While in detention we persisted in reciting Teacher's teachings and doing the Falun Gong exercises. The guards shocked us with electric batons and sprayed us with water hoses. They failed to destroy the rock solid determination of Falun Gong practitioners. I was released in early August.

More than one month later, before October 1, the Anqiu City 610 Office organized another large-scale arrest targeting Falun Gong practitioners. I was arrested and held at the Wangjiazhuang Town Police Station. At first they left us out in the open so that mosquitoes would bite us. Later the weather became colder by the day, and the village lake froze. We slept on a plastic sheet and a bed sheet spread on the concrete floor. We didn't have a quilt or anything to cover us at night. One practitioner's family eventually visited her and brought a quilt. The four of us tried to share this quilt. Because the quilt was too small, I covered myself with only the bed sheet, but I couldn't sleep due to the bone-freezing cold. We held a group hunger strike and requested unconditional release. We were released before January 1, 2001.

My mother and I were detained for more than two months, and my father and sister were detained for a while. In October 2000 they were sentenced to three years of forced labor.

Implication policy; I left home to avoid additional persecution

The Communist regime persecutes people who have any connection with Falun Gong practitioners. They do this to incite hatred against practitioners. These individuals often harassed and threatened me. They arrested me and extorted money from me, and my family did not live a day in peace. My family lived in constant fear. My husband and parents-in-law changed from supporting to opposing my belief and mistakenly thought I made them lose face. In order to force me to give up Falun Gong practice, my husband often beat and verbally abused me. He even phoned the authorities to report me and assisted them in their efforts. I left home and lived in exile to avoid additional persecution.

I was arrested while in exile

In the evening on April 15, 2002, three other practitioners and I rented a place. The police arrested and took us to the Beigong Police Department in Weifang City. The police stepped on my hair and dragged me back and forth along the floor. One officer in his 50s threatened, "If you refuse to give us your personal information, we'll strip you naked and throw you in the street." I said in a serious tone, "How old are you? I can't believe you said those words!" He left right away. I heard a female practitioner in another room shouting, "You perverts!" I said to one officer, "Quick! Go over there and stop them!" He immediately went to the other room.

The following day they transferred me to the Weifang Detention Center. Five practitioners were being held there at the time. We studied the Fa, did the exercises, sent forth righteous thoughts, and held a hunger strike to protest against the persecution.

The Communist regime agents are extremely brutal when force-feeding Falun Gong practitioners. The physical pain is difficult to articulate. Each time I was force-fed I was not sure I was going to live. Some practitioners had a tube as thick as a finger inserted into their nose. Occasionally the tube is left in their stomachs to inflict pain. Some tubes are left in for so long they fill the air with a stench when they are finally pulled out. I witnessed firsthand the incident with one practitioner who was energetic and glowed with health prior to force-feeding, but after she was force-fed she was carried back to a cell, her body sagged, and she was at the brink of death. She looked completely different before and after the force-feeding.

On our seventh day at the Weifang Detention Center the guards force-fed us. The first practitioner who underwent force-feeding shook with spasms. He was cold and at death's door. After taking his blood pressure, the detention center doctor's face fell and he left without administering any emergency measures. This practitioner's condition deteriorated as the night went on. The detention center authorities finally told his family to take him home. I don't know if he survived.

I was the second person to be force-fed. The guards tied me to a large wooden plank. About five guards stepped on my hair and held my arms and legs down. Then they inserted a thick tube into my nose. I almost suffocated from the excruciating pain. After the feeding my body heated up and I trembled. I washed myself repeatedly with cold water despite the chilly weather and later lost consciousness. The guards ignored me but also said, "It doesn't matter because no one cares if she dies."

The fourth day in the morning the doctor took my blood pressure and panicked. They rushed me to a hospital in Weifang City for emergency treatment. The guards tied me to a bed, handcuffed me to the opposite bed poles, and gave me an IV infusion. I felt terrible after the infusion. It felt as if a million bugs were gnawing at me, and my heart beat so fast I could hardly breathe. I asked the guards, "What did you give me?" One guard said, "A drug that will make you healthy! If you give us the names of your family members, you'll feel better with your family by your side." I looked at him and knew he was lying. I made a fist to stop the fluid from entering my vein. The guard hit my hand to make me relax it. I tried to ignore the pain and said to them in a solemn voice, "You are persecuting good people against your conscience in order to get promotions and to further your personal interests. Conscience is important for a person!" They turned their heads and dared not look at me. They left the room soon afterwards. At noon, I asked to use the restroom and they refused permission. I asked repeatedly and was allowed to go. I moved slowly toward the restroom. My head was spinning and my body was so weak I felt as if I was walking on cotton. Miraculously, I escaped from the hospital after eight days of being on a hunger strike and I dove back into the current of Fa rectification.

Arrested again during exile

On October 28, 2002, three other practitioners and I were arrested at our rented home. Agents from the Anqiu City 610 Office made the arrest. They held us at the Anqiu City Detention Center. While in detention we persisted in doing the exercises. Guard Ma Xiyan vehemently beat us with a rubber club and verbally assaulted us as he hit us. He refused to listen to practitioners who tried to clarify the truth to him.

I could not get up the following day due to injuries suffered during the savage beating. The guards ordered a dozen inmates to chew up food and dump it into my mouth to humiliate me. I slapped my hand on the table and shouted, "Is this what your parents taught you? Don't you have brothers and sisters?" I confronted the guard, "Is this how you educate the inmates?" The inmates left, and the guard also left.

Practitioner Liu Qingmei was force-fed food other had chewed up and almost suffocated.

I was held at the Anqiu City Detention Center for more than 50 days, during which time 610 Office agents demanded 30,000 yuan from my husband. They promised they would not send me to a forced labor camp if they received 30,000 yuan, and that my family only needed to pay an additional 2,000-yuan "reform" fee for me to be sent to a brainwashing center. They said they would return a part of the 2,000 yuan if I was held at the brainwashing center for more than six months. My family believed them. They sold their cropland and borrowed from every source. They eventually managed to scrape together 31,500 yuan and gave it to the authorities. After they got the money, these thieves never returned a penny to my family but added insult to injury by sending me to forced labor just the same! My family was not rich. Now we are deep in debt. We can't even afford cooking oil or salt and don't have enough money to send my daughter to kindergarten.

The 610 Office agents transferred me to Anqiu City Party School's Brainwashing Center. They handcuffed me to a metal chair for three days and deprived me of sleep for seven days. Hu Shaoqun from the 610 Office slapped my face with a book for an entire afternoon. They ordered collaborators Li Dehe, Song Tingshan, Yao Hexing, and others to brainwash me. Because I remained determined, the collaborators started beating me. I was afraid of being sent to a forced labor camp, so, under tremendous pressure, I wrote a guarantee statement. I did something a Falun Gong practitioner should never do. I was released before the Chinese New Year.

Several days after the Chinese New Year I was again arrested and sent to the Anqiu City 610 Office. I refused to cooperate with these agents and I kept shouting, "Falun Dafa is good!" Four guards held my arms and legs and repeatedly threw me on the ground. Wang Ziqing from the 610 Office beat and kicked me. He phoned my husband and told him to help "reform" me. He said I would not be released unless I completely "reformed." My husband, who was deceived and did not think calmly and rationally, vented his frustration on me. During the day, I was tortured physically and mentally at the brainwashing center, and at night my husband beat and verbally abused me. Each day seemed longer than the previous one. I felt I would be better off dead than alive.

I escaped from the brainwashing center after more than one month of torture. I was again arrested a few days later at my parents' home. I escaped once again, more than one month later, lived in exile for a while, and returned home after two months.

On March 15, Anqiu City 610 Office agents arrested many practitioners

On March 15, 2005, Anqiu City 610 Office officials suddenly ransacked the homes of all practitioners in the city and arrested and detained them. I was held at the Anqiu City Detention Center along with my parents.

After we were sent to the detention center, Li Hongbin, who was promoted from a driver to head of the Wangjiazhuang Town Police Station for taking part in the persecution, was ecstatic. He walked around carrying a briefcase and looked smug. I pitied him, for he ignorantly committed crimes. He was sacked soon afterwards.

While being held at the detention center I refused to wear a prisoner's uniform and was handcuffed to a metal chair and left exposed in the cold weather for eight days. I refused to say that I was guilty of any crime, and I requested immediate and unconditional release. One of the guards violently slapped my face twice. I saw stars and could not see clearly. When he again raised his hand, I looked straight at him and said, "I'm not a criminal! Why are you hitting me?" He backed off and said, "Who said you are a criminal?" He quickly left. A while later another guard arrived. He slapped my face and kept saying, "You are a criminal, you are a criminal!" I looked at him, and, with a sincere desire to help him, I continuously clarified the truth to him and explained the relationship between deeds and karmic retribution. He kept slapping my face. I kept clarifying the truth to him. He finally stopped and squatted on the ground silently.

I was transferred to a detention cell on the ninth day. My whole body tingled, my legs were severely swollen, and my feet hurt so badly that I could not walk. I could not sleep at night due to pain, but the guards said, "You are faking it." After I lost consciousness from pain they carried me outside to force-feed me. Despite the fact that I was extremely weak, they handcuffed me to a metal chair and left me outside for eight days until I lost consciousness on the chair.

When practitioner Mr. Sun Yezhi was force-fed, his heart-wrenching screams could be heard throughout the detention center. Some guards could not bear to watch this cruelty and stayed away from the scene. The inmates were so frightened that they bowed their heads. In a loud voice, I clarified the truth to deputy division head Zhang Yuanting, who was doing the force-feeding. I asked him not to persecute practitioners but he went on. With all the strength left in my body I shouted, "Heaven will not tolerate the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners!" Only my cries and Sun Yezhi's screams were heard in the detention center.

After Sun Yezhi's force-feeding I was exhausted and collapsed in the metal chair, to which I was still handcuffed. When Zhang Yuanting came toward me I held up his hand covered with blood, cried, and said, "The blood of how many Falun Gong practitioners is on your hands? How will you pay this back in the future?" Zhang Yuanting laughed and walked away.

The practitioners' upright and kind acts made many inmates and guards realize that we practitioners are good people. Some guards stopped persecuting the practitioners and really admired them. An inmate once said to a practitioner, "You are a criminal element!" A guard heard him and immediately said to the inmate, "You are a criminal element; they are truly walking the right path."

I was sent to a labor camp and money was again extorted from my family

After one month at the Anqiu City Detention Center I was skin and bones. I could barely walk. My menstrual period lasted a whole month. Anqiu City 610 Office agitators sentenced me to three years of forced labor. Wangcun Labor Camp officials refused to accept me because I didn't pass the physical exam. The detention center authorities gave Wangcun Labor Camp officials 2,000 yuan in bribes, so they accepted me. According to law, the labor camp is supposed to distribute 800 yuan to the local government for each detainee admitted.

On the way to the labor camp, one officer from the Linghe Town Police Station in Anqiu City started beating practitioner Mr. Sun Yezhi for no reason. He stepped on Mr. Sun's hair and slapped his face. Practitioner Zhao Guangcai and I stopped the guard. This guard and officer Zhang Huansheng from the Wangjiazhuang Town Police Station savagely beat us. I kept shouting, "Falun Dafa is good! Release us now!" Anqiu City Detention Center driver Han punched me in the mouth.

I later learned that the detention center authorities had told my husband if he paid them a 10,000 yuan bribe they would send me home instead of to a labor camp. By the time my husband had collected 10,000 yuan and given it to them, however, earlier that morning they had already sent me to a labor camp. They lied to my husband and said, "We'll bring her back from the labor camp this afternoon." They never returned me or the money.

Savage torture at the Wangcun Women's Forced Labor Camp

At the labor camp, the guards taped my mouth shut and held me in solitary confinement for six days. Although my mouth was taped, I could still shout, "Falun Dafa is good!" I shouted as long as I could. About four guards stepped on my hair, pressed my neck against the edge of the bed, removed the tape, pried my mouth open with chopsticks, gagged me with a dirty towel, and then wrapped tape around my mouth and head several times. One guard jabbed my philtrum, the depression between upper lip and nose, with all his might. Even now my philtrum involuntarily jerks. One guard bent my arms with brute force. My arms were skin and bones, and I felt piercing pain shoot through them. They handcuffed me to the head of the bed for a day and night, and then they handcuffed me to the windowsill for five days. They pushed me against the edge of the windowsill and violently tickled me. They tortured me in other ways and tried to make me write the guarantee statements.

My legs turned purple and swelled up. My feet were numb and felt like it was being pricked by needles. My body shook and my heart felt like it was beating out of my chest. Everything went black and I fell forward. One guard later asked me, "How long will you last? What will this perseverance bring you?" I told him, "Each day counts. Truth needs to be upheld, because Truth will not shine if no one persists in it." He said, "You are stubborn and stupid. We'll unlock you immediately if you write a guarantee statement." I said, "Why do we Chinese people have to live without a spine?" He said, "If you persist, your legs will be useless. Decide for yourself." I told him in a serious voice, "Whoever carries out the persecution will be held accountable! I have never regretted my choice even when I was in great pain!"

In order to "reform" me, they didn't let me eat or sleep for a long time. They handcuffed me and tickled me, and the collaborators also tortured me. I accidentally bumped my head on a wall and against the table I was so exhausted. One month later the labor camp authorities wanted to destroy me. They resorted to a very debased method: four guards held me down, tickled me and made me give my fingerprint on a pre-written guarantee statement. They said, "See, you wrote a guarantee statement! Now you should be happy!" They tickled me very hard and said, "She is happy because she has reformed." They also obtained my fingerprints on other guarantee statements when I was asleep.

After Falun Gong practitioners "reform," the guards force them to work over ten hours a day and watch videos that slander Falun Gong and Teacher. They also scream at practitioners who lower their heads and refuse to watch, saying, "Look up! Watch this!" Many practitioners have their hands cut from copper wires and have brown calluses on their buttocks from sitting so long doing slave labor. After watching the videos, the guards force each practitioner to write their "understandings," praise the wicked Communist regime, and thank the Party for persecuting them. The practitioners are forced to write a weekly article, a monthly summary, a seasonal summary, a semi-annual summary, and an annual summary. They also have to report their thoughts whenever the guards ask them. They are not given extra time to write these summaries but have to sit on small stools, put the paper on their thighs, and write these during work breaks.

The authorities want to achieve complete mental control and the greatest physical devastation. They give the practitioners a very short time to eat, so practitioners have no alternative but to dump the food into their mouths, no matter how hot it is, because they are driven back to work if they don't eat the food within the allotted time.

Villainous behavior at the Weifang City Brainwashing Center

On October 24, 2005, my term, including the time I was held at the local detention center, expired. Anqiu City 610 Office agents thought I had not fulfilled the reformation standard and sent me immediately to the Weifang City Brainwashing Center.

At noon on November 5, 2005, Weifang City 610 Office head Fu Jinbin barged into a room where three women practitioners were being held. Practitioner Ms. Jiao Huifang from Weifang City had been force-fed for nearly two months and often vomited blood. She had a tube in her nose for a long time and was extremely weak. Fu Jinbin smelled of alcohol and had a lascivious look in his eyes. He fondled Ms. Jiao below her waist, faked concern, and asked, "Do you hurt?" He did this in front of two other practitioners, including me. Ms. Jiao pulled his hand away. He handcuffed her and continued to touch her. She used her other hand to stop him. Fu Jinbin told me to tell the officer on duty to bring in another pair of handcuffs. I went to the officer on duty, and finally we were able to put a stop to this terrible behavior that day.

It has been verified that Fu Jinbin has sexually molested many women practitioners. There are several reports on the Minghui/Clearwisdom website exposing his actions, but he has not changed his ways.

I escaped later while looking after another practitioner in a hospital, and went from place to place to escape further persecution.

Escaping from the demon's den and again living in exile

After I escaped from the Weifang City Brainwashing Center, I learned that my husband had taken our six-year-old daughter and gone to the Anqiu City 610 Office. He inquired about my whereabouts and asked for our 10,000 yuan back. They kicked my husband and ordered him to leave. Our daughter was frightened and cried.

Right now a saying is making the rounds: When a police station is short of funding, they arrest Falun Gong practitioners and extort money from them, just as they did back when they enforced the one child policy and imposed arbitrary fines on couples who had more than one child. People know that Falun Gong is upright and its practitioners are good people. I am not a highly educated person. What I have written represents only a tiny portion of all the atrocities being perpetrated against Falun Gong and Falun Gong practitioners. The actual statistics of huge number of crimes committed against practitioners are staggering. I hope people can tell good from evil and can clearly discern those who are persecuting millions of innocent, good people.

Police officers and others who are still persecuting Falun Gong, please think about it: When you think of your family, you love them and you want them to have a bright future. But do you know that a person's future is determined by his current behavior, good or bad? As you persecute innocent Falun Gong practitioners, have you thought about your own future and that of your family? You will receive punishment for your crimes!

History tells us that goodness is rewarded and evildoing is punished, a truth that will never change. Many historic examples tell us that those who take part in persecution of cultivators are destined to meet a bad end. I sincerely ask police officers and people in related positions who are still following Jiang Zemin's Communist regime in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners: Don't assist the evil in exchange for personal interest, because you will destroy your family and your futures.

The "Falun Dafa Association Announcement" on the Clearwisdom website states:

"Heaven's destruction of the CCP is a historical inevitability. Gods must punish those criminals who have sinned against Falun Gong. Those who refuse to do the right thing and instead continue to follow Jiang's scoundrel regime's persecution policies will be severely punished as perpetrators of unforgivable crimes."

Falun Gong does not joke about warnings and advice. Police officers and others who are still persecuting Falun Gong should awaken, cherish Falun Gong's compassion, correct their mistakes, and make up for them in various ways.

Falun Gong practitioners are good people who follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. They have benefited society in many ways and not done an ounce of harm. I truly hope that kind-hearted people will pay attention to this persecution, uphold justice, and together end the persecution of Falun Gong and safeguard conscience, justice, and dignity.

CCP authorities in Baoding City, Hebei Province are plotting to hold an illegal trial of Falun Gong practitioners Wei Haiwu, Liu Yongwang, Zhang Rongjie and Zhi Zhanmin at the Baoding City Xinshi District's Court at 8:30 a.m. on Friday, February 17. These Falun Gong practitioners were arrested last August on the grounds of the TV interception incident in Tianjin. Amongst these practitioners, Liu Yongwang has been persecuted most brutally and is currently on the brink of death.

In early August 2005, CCP officials began suspecting that Baoding Falun Gong practitioners were involved in the Tianjin TV interception incident and set-up a "Special Case Group" in Baoding City. At around 9 a.m. on August 7, Falun Gong practitioner Yang Jinying from the east suburban region in Baoding City was arrested on the road by agents from Baoding City's National Security Bureau. At around 1 a.m. on August 8, Zhi Zhanmin, Wei Haiwu and several other Falun Gong practitioners were also arrested in between Baoding City and Mancheng by agents of the Baoding City National Security Bureau. Falun Gong practitioner Liu Yongwang was arrested thereafter on August 24.

To date, several practitioners are being illegally imprisoned in the Baoding City Detention Centre and are being subjected to severe physical interrogation as well as torture. They have been on hunger strike to protest the persecution. Falun Gong practitioner Wei Haiwu's has been suffering from high blood pressure. Yang Jinying managed to walk out of the hospital recently. Falun Gong practitioner Liu Yongwang has persevered in denying the false charges brought against him and has been on a hunger strike for more than seventy days since he was arrested. His body has deteriorated severely, and he has become emaciated. Both his legs still have not recovered from the torture he received previously while imprisoned in a labor camp, and they constantly turn numb and are painful. Under the request of his family members, he was brought to the Baoding City Second Hospital for a checkup, and was diagnosed with a tumor at the bottom of the spinal region. He could become paralyzed from the waist down any moment.
