Mr. Peng Yiliu, a resident of Pan County, Guizhou Province, has been persecuted in the 2nd squadron of the 5th Group in the Zhongba Forced Labor Camp at the hands of police guard Xu Fayuan. On May 31, 2005, after Mr. Peng wrote a declaration to continue practicing Falun Gong, he was tied up with a rope and sent to a "conquering room" the next day. He was tortured until the morning of June 2, when other camp detainees lined up for roster checking. His screams were heard throughout the squadron. To try to stop the guards, all Falun Gong practitioners spoke out at the same time, saying, "Don't beat people." Practitioners in the 2nd squadron broke into the "conquering room" and rescued Mr. Peng. Afterwards, he was put back in the same room and was beaten and tortured. His head was severely injured and sustained a three-inch long wound, which bled profusely. He was later sent to the garrison, where he was continuously persecuted for about fifty days.
Mr. Tian Zongfu wrote a declaration to continue practicing Falun Gong, which was obtained by Huang Gan, head of the 3rd squadron. The declaration was turned over to the group deputy captain, Xu Fayuan, and on December 24, 2003, Mr. Tian was sent to the 2nd squadron to be persecuted. Xu Fayuan put Mr. Tian into the "conquering room" and instigated drug addict inmate Chen Binbin, and Wang Jian to torture him. The two did not allow Mr. Tian to use the toilet. When Tian could not stand it any longer and urinated on his pants and the floor, they forced him to take off his pants and mop the floor with them. They also made him use his blanket to clean. Later, they forced Mr. Tian to squat down for a very long time period in the same position. The inmates pushed him down on the floor and stepped on his toes and the backs of his feet with heavy boots because he resisted the torture. Some inmates kicked him all over, stomped back and forth on the backs of his calves, and whipped his feet with plastic sandals, causing his feet to bruise and swell and his toes to develop blisters.
Mr. Tian still refused to cooperate with them. The inmates tied his hair to the window, leaving him unable to stand up or squat down, and pierced his middle and ring fingers with a steel needle resulting in pus discharges and distortion of his middle finger. The steel needles were used to pierce his back and legs, and punctured a major artery in his leg. Blood gushed out, soaking all three layers of Mr. Tian's pants.
Using a large metal hook, the inmates beat his head until it bled. The other tortures they subjected him to were even more atrocious. They beat his chest and ribs causing him to struggle breathing and eventually pass out. They threw cold water on his face in order to revive him. Despite everything, Mr. Tian did not cooperate with them and refused to give up practicing Falun Gong. The torture continued until 3:00 p.m. the next day.

1. Ms. Li Suyun from Qidong County, Hunan Province, Missing Since 2000
Ms. Li Suyun was an obstetrician in the public health center of Buyun Bridge Town, Qidong County, Hunan Province. On February 26, 2000, she was forced to leave home hurriedly due to the evil persecution. She has been missing for more than six years. On the evening of March 15, 2000, four practitioners went to Beijing to appeal and were sent back to Qidong County by police. On the train they heard that three female practitioners were arrested in Shijiazhuang. The condition of one of them was very poor. The description of this lady matched that of Ms. Li Suyun. Since then, no one has heard anything about her. No one knows where the other two practitioners were from, and their whereabouts are unknown. It is not known whether they are dead or alive.
The family members went to the local police department of the local police station to ask for help many times. The officers refused to admit that they had any news concerning Ms. Li Suyun or her whereabouts.
2. Ms. Lu Yonghua from Yantai, Shandong Province, Missing Since 2000
Ms. Lu Yonghua was 51 years old when she first went missing. She worked at the Electrical Industries Bureau of Qixia City, Yantai, Shandong. Before she began practicing Falun Gong, Ms. Lu suffered from serious diabetes. After she began to practice Falun Gong, her health quickly improved. On July 20,1999, the Chinese Communist Party started to persecute Falun Gong. Ms. Lu went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong on December 24, 2000, and since then her whereabouts have been unknown.

Ms. Zhang Lijie, born in 1962, was 39 years old when she went missing. She lived in the Huanggu District of Shenyang City. In 2001, she went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong and disappeared. Her family searched everywhere, but they have no clue of her whereabouts.
4. Ms. Shen Jihua from Tangshan Missing Since 2003
Ms. Shen Jihua, 42, lived in Caozhuang Village, Li Yuan Town, the Kaiping District, Tangshan City, Hebei Province. She began practicing in 1997. After the persecution of Falun Gong started, she was persecuted because she refused to give up practicing Falun Gong. She was taken to the brainwashing center in Yuanzhen Town many times. There she was forced to write a guarantee statement to give up practicing. After going to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong, she was fined 1,000 yuan by the local government. Because her family was poor, they had to borrow money to pay the fine. In October 2000, when she was distributing truth clarifying materials, she was detained in the local police station for fifteen days. Later she was sent to Kaiping Brainwashing Center located in Tangshan City. Because of the persecution, she suffered a great deal both physically and emotionally. As a result, she was not very clearheaded at times. She left home one night in October, 2003, and her whereabouts since then are unknown.
Both Ms. Shen Jihua's parents and parents-in-law have died. Her husband, Liu Chenkao, does short-term labor for a living. Life is miserable for him and their 13-year-old son, Liu Jinjian. The son misses his mother and the husband misses his wife. Her family members are always worried about her safety. Shen Jihua, where are you now? Your family, relatives and friends all miss you.

I am Yang Lijuan, 55, and I reside at No. 23-1-2 Tieanli residential section, Jilin City, Jilin Province. I was arrested on August 25, 2005.
1. Police Illegally Entered the House Using Deception, Confiscated Personal Property and Arrested the Innocent Without Warrant
When I got up at about 6:00 a.m. on August 25, 2005, I heard the noise of knocking on the door and the voice of someone decrying a burglar. They deceived my 80-year-old mother to open the door for them and then suddenly rushed into my bedroom. A tall and strong man, showing me his card with the name of Di Shigang, held me down, handcuffed me without any warrant, and confiscated my cell phone, MP3 player and camera, etc. They took me away wearing just a vest and underwear. After filling out a form at the police station, I was transferred to the criminal police section located on Sichuang Road.
They confiscated our personal property without showing a warrant or obtaining a signature from my family members. When my mother asked to get the property back, no one acknowledged the confiscation. They asked a neighbor of mine who did not know the true facts of the incident to sign the document. When my mother asked the neighbor what the police officials took away, the neighbor was very repentant, "I did not notice what they took. They asked me to sign something, and I simply signed it."

2. Confession Extorted by Torture
1) When:
From 2:00-3:00 p.m. to midnight, August 25, 2005, the torture lasted
nearly ten
hours, except when they went out to have dinner at about 9:00 p.m.
2) Where and who:
Interrogation room, second floor of vice squad, five to six persons
including Di
Shigang.
3) How:
The tortures used included lock-up in an iron chair, handcuffing behind
the
back, force-feeding of mustard water, grinding the anklebone, and
grinding the
calf bone using a steel pipe.
4) Torture process:
One man held my hair, the second man curbed my head upward with a
towel, and the
third man fed the mustard water into my nostril. I could not help
coughing and
vomiting. One of them wiped my face with a dirty rag and another man
smeared my
face with a mop after cleaning the floor. Midway through, he wiped the
toilet
with that mop and smeared my face again. After feeding me 100
milliliters of
mustard water, they changed my back-cuffed posture. The handcuff dug
into my
flesh and I was then locked onto an iron chair, where I was unable to
struggle.
They also beat me about the head. During the forced feeding process, Di
Shigang
also ground my anklebone, which caused tearing pain, and he ground my
calf bone
using a steel pipe. This produced a six-inch long black and blue scar.
I was fed
six to seven bottles of mustard water and was tortured until I was
close to
death. Persecutor Di Shigang threatened me saying, "You told your
mother to
remember my name, but she can not. What a pity! No one will be liable
for
beating you to death."
5) Fabricating false photos to frame me:
The white cloth that was used to cover the clothes in the cabinet was viciously taken to make a banner. An old scrubbing brush was distorted as a tool to paint the banner, a woodworking tool was used as a knife to cut the banner, and the watercolors my child used for drawing were used as paint for making the banner. Additionally, the less than ten pages of my manuscripts were described as "hundreds of hand-written flyers" to falsely incriminate me.
They used enticement to extort a confession. Finally, I was tortured to the point of mental trauma. Sometimes I was clear and sometimes I was muddleheaded due to the psychological tortures that affected my brain. I remember that they first forced me to sign several confessions, and then had me sign hundreds of confessions until there were enough for them to convict me.
On August 26, I was sent to the No. 3 Detention Center in Jilin City. I was very weak and delirious. All of the detainees and guards who saw my wounded body were shocked and said, "It was too brutal, expose them, we will vouch for you." The detention center made a record of my exterior wounds for me.
At that time, my health condition was as follows: 1) my brain was in a comatose state, I had a headache, and I could not open my eyes. 2) The lower part of my face, nose, mouth and jaw were injured, and I could not open my mouth to eat. The lower part of my face was severely traumatized and did not heal until eighteen days later in the detention center. 3) There were bruises about six inches long and two inches wide on the lower part of both legs which have still not healed. 4) There were bruises about six inches long and four inches wide on both of my thighs, which were still visible even six months later. 5) There was a large area of bruises on my back below my shoulders. 6) My back was injured with scars remaining. 7) Scars were left on both of my wrists due to the handcuffs cutting into the flesh of my hands. 8) There were several scars left on the back of my palms due to handcuffs. 9) During the persecution, both of my hands were pulled backwards and then handcuffed several times, which caused injuries to my arms. I now have difficulty and experience pain when raising my arms behind me. 10) Both of my hands and arms were numb and lacked strength. I could not even form a fist with my hands, and my hands trembled. It took about four months for this symptom to disappear, but I still lack strength in holding my fists today.
I appealed to the judiciary authorities but did not get any response. Shuangji Police Station fabricated false evidence, extorted my confession by torture and sentenced me to one and a half years of forced labor. On September 23, 2005, they sent me to the Women's Forced Labor Camp in Jinlin Province.
3. Bring the Persecutors to Justice
As the victim, I request legal protection, not only to protect my legal human rights, but also to safeguard the dignity of law and constitution of this country. Therefore, I demand that the persecutors be brought to justice, the real violators punished, all of the fabricated accusations withdrawn, and an immediate and unconditional release.
I am responsible for the facts described above.
April 4, 2006
Guards in Wangcun Women's Forced Labor Camp, Zibo City, Shandong Province actively follow Jiang's regime to persecute practitioners. Zhao Lili, Zhao Wenhui, and Song Lijuan are among the police guards who directly participate in the persecution of practitioners. Below is part of what I witnessed in the Wangcun Women's Forced Labor Camp.
Ms. Cheng Aiyun is a practitioner from Gaomi City. She was sent to the labor camp in late 2003. Because she firmly resisted brainwashing, she was hung up in the restroom by her handcuffed wrists for seven full days, during which time the guards did not allow her to sleep, eat, or drink water. During her two years of detention in the camp, she was isolated in the restroom three times, each time lasting three months. The guards also forced her to do overtime hard labor. If she could not finish the quota, they did not give her any food. When the guards did give her something to eat, it was always cold and a very small amount. Some days she got nothing to eat at all. She was extremely thin and weak.
Ms. Wang Guifeng is a practitioner from Qingzhou City. Because she resisted the persecution, the guards forced her to stand around the clock for over twenty days. Her feet and legs swollen and she could not stand still. The guards instigated inmates to take turns monitoring her, deprive her of sleep and beat her frequently. On November 13, 2005, four or five inmates stripped off her clothes and then beat and kicked her. They stabbed her with needles and they opened up the window and door, leaving her shivering in front of the window. There are many other practitioners like Ms. Wang who have suffered or are suffering the same torture.
Ms. Jia Cuiqin is a practitioner from Qixia City. She was sent to the forced labor camp in late 2004. Because she resisted the persecution, the guards forced her to stand for long periods of time and did not allow her to sleep or use the restroom. She had to relieve herself in her pants. The guards also instigated inmates to monitor and insult her. Some inmates wrote Teacher's name on a paper and placed the paper under her foot, telling her to step on it. She refused and they then beat her. After weeks of torture, her feet were so swollen that she could not get them into her shoes. She could not even stand up. The inmates also handcuffed her to the heating pipe and tied up her legs with ropes. As a result, the heating pipes burned her hands.
Ms. Jiang Cui is a practitioner from Weihai City. Due to long term persecution, both her mind and body were traumatized. Her limbs were weakened and she became very slow. On the morning of August 13, 2005, she shouted, "Falun Dafa is good!" The guards taped her mouth shut. She was then dragged to a basement where she was hung up for several days in the dark. She was bitten by bugs and was on the verge of death. Her limbs also lost all feeling.
The above-mentioned practitioners are still being tortured.
Dr. Li Xianghong was 37 years old when she went missing in 1999. She worked as a doctor in the Testing Section at a county hospital in Shenzhou City, Hengshui Region, Hebei Province.
After the Chinese Communist regime began the persecution of Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, Dr. Li Xianghong went to Beijing on July 23 to appeal for Falun Gong, but has been missing ever since. We wondered recently if Dr. Li was among those practitioners sent to one of the 36 concentration camps established for the purpose of performing live organ harvesting on Falun Gong practitioners. We hope the international community will pay attention to her disappearance.
When Li Xianghong and two other practitioners went to Beijing on July 23, 1999, to appeal for Falun Gong, they walked through farms alongside the road to avoid checkpoints. Because it was dark, and the road was unfamiliar, Li Xianghong lost contact with the two other practitioners. Since then we have not heard from her.
Li Xianghong's husband, Liu Tieguang, and her other family members, tried all kinds of ways to look for her. They even put ads on TV and went to try to identify unknown bodies, but no one had any information about her. Her disappearance pains her family greatly.
Li Xianghong's daughter, Liu Jiajia, is now 20 years old. Dr. Li's husband, Liu Tieguang, has remarried.

Feng twisted Ms. Li's wrist so hard that she still has bruises. The police interrogated the two ladies and then kept them at Shijiahetao Detention Center. Meanwhile these two practitioners went on hunger strikes to protest the persecution. The next day, the police accompanied the city's National Security Group, including Wang Jinglong and others, to break into these two practitioners' homes in order to confiscate Falun Gong books and other personal property.
