Jiang Zemin and the Chinese Communist Party cooperated in applying their genocidal policies against Falun Gong practitioners, who peacefully persist in their belief in Truth-Compassion-Forbearance. They achieved this by using the totalitarian government's machinery, including the police and the media. In the six years between July 20, 1999 and July 20, 2005, the CCP, in violation of the Chinese constitution and by breaking numerous laws, has monitored, abducted, detained, tortured, and brainwashed Falun Gong practitioners and has sent many of them to forced labor camps and prisons. According to the Clearwisdom website, the verified number of deaths by torture of Falun Gong practitioners is 2,711.

Among the 85 practitioners tortured to death in Weifang City, the oldest was 90-year- old Mr. Sun Zhongren from Anqiu City, and the youngest was 22-year-old Mr. Liu Zengqiang, who was enrolled at the Chinese Literature Department of Weifang Teacher Training College. They were abused and killed because they persisted in their beliefs.
Ms. Chen Zixiu was the first Falun Gong practitioner tortured to death in Weifang City. She was 59 years old and lived in Xujiaxiaozhuang, Beiguan, Weicheng District. On the afternoon of February 17, 2000, she was abducted at Weifang Train Station on her way to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. She was detained at the Chengguan Street Committee in the Weicheng District. At 9:00 a.m. on February 21, 2000, Ms. Chen Zixiu was beaten to death by perpetrators at the Chengguan Street Committee. After her death was exposed, her daughter Zhang Xueling was illegally sent to forced labor.
Practitioner Ms. Su Baolan was tortured to death and her family abducted and sent to forced labor. Ms. Su was 35 years old and lived at Shirenpo, Shidui Town, Anqiu City. In October 1999, Ms. Su and her parents, two sisters and her five-year-old nephew went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. They were abducted and detained. Ms. Su left home to avoid further persecution. She returned home in October 2001 and was abducted by officers from Shidui Town Police Station and from the Anqiu City 610 Office. She was sent to Anqiu City's 610 Office Brainwashing Class. In early November 2001, Ms. Su's body was found in a reservoir in Sanhe Village, Songguantuan Town in Anqiu City.
In October 2000, Ms. Su Baolan's father and her second younger sister were illegally sentenced to three years of forced labor, and her mother and youngest sister were forced into exile. Su Baolan's father and her second younger sister were released in late 2003. After they returned home, her second sister gave up Falun Gong practice out of fear. Still, the perpetrators didn't let up in their persecution. On March 15, 2005, police officers from Anqiu City ransacked the homes of Su Baolan's parents and both of her sisters. They also abducted her parents and her youngest sister. Su Baolan's father was incarcerated at the Anqiu City Detention Center for one month and was fined 2,000 yuan before he was released. Su Baolan's youngest sister was held at the same detention center for one month and was fined 10,000 yuan. She was then sent to a forced labor camp. Anqui police officials extorted over 40,000 yuan from Su Baolan's youngest sister .
Practitioner Mr. Liu Shuchun was abducted and sent to Changle Forced Labor Camp, where he died from one hour of torture. Mr. Liu Shuchun was around 38 years of age and was a farmer in Sandazhang Village, Songzhuang Town, Changyi City, Weifang. On January 3, 2001, Mr. Liu was arrested and sent to Group 2, Division 2 at Changle Forced Labor Camp in Weifang. Han Huiyue, the head of Group 2; Zhu Weile, deputy head of Division 2; and other perpetrators ordered inmates Liu Chunxiang, Zhang Jintao, Niu Zhongxin, Tian Weixiang, and Liu Xuetian to brutally torture him. Mr. Liu persisted in his belief and refused to follow their orders. The inmates whipped him with a triangular belt for one hour, and one inmate hit his head with a hard stool, killing him instantly.
The heavenly principle that good and evil will be repaid accordingly will never change. There have been many instances of perpetrators and police officers receiving retributions. After his release from the labor camp, Zhang Jintao, the inmate who murdered practitioner Mr. Liu Shuchun, was run over by a car and his body was cut in two. From these cases, people are able to see that the CCP has relied on lies and slander to persecute Falun Gong.
We pay our highest respects to the 2,711 Falun Gong practitioners who were tortured to death while persisting in the truth!
We pay our highest respects to the 85 Falun Gong practitioners from Weifang City, who were tortured to death while persisting in the truth!

Falun Gong practitioner, Mr. Liu Yuhe from Huadian City, Jilin Province, was arrested and illegally sent to Jiutai Forced Labor Camp. On July 27, Liu Yuhe's family arrived at Jiutai Forced Labor Camp to visit him. His family made persistent requests to the labor camp director to see him, and were finally permitted a brief visit at 2 p.m. that afternoon, under the condition that no conversation would be allowed between the family and Liu Yuhe, and that the family only could see Liu Yuhe, Liu Yuhe could not see them. Since Liu Yuhe's family wanted to see him urgently, they agreed to these conditions.
Liu Yuhe's family arrived at the labor camp at 2 p.m. in the afternoon, but they did not get to see Liu Yuhe until 4 p.m., and it was just for a moment. The visit took place on the second floor of the building, where Liu Yuhe was more than 10 meters away from his family and behind double glass. Liu Yuhe's face appeared waxy yellow and he had lost so much weight that he looked very different from before. The family was not even sure whether he was Liu Yuhe or not. Then he was taken away.
After leaving the labor camp, Liu Yuhe's family decided they still wanted to see Liu Yuhe, so they went to the labor camp again the next day. After numerous difficulties, the labor camp finally allowed the family to talk to Liu Yuhe through a phone. It was only then that Liu Yuhe's family found out about the torture Liu Yuhe had experienced while he was detained in Huadian: after he had been on hunger strike for eight days at the Huadian Detention Center, prison physician Li Gui and Hongshi Township police station policeman Fong Zhengshan sent Liu Yuhe to the local hospital for force-feeding through a feeding tube. With Li Gui stepping on the thumb cuffs which bound Liu Yuhe's two thumbs behind his back and Fong Zhengshan stepping on Liu Yuhe's foot shackles, a rubber tube was and forced into Liu Yuhe's nostril. Soon Liu Yuhe had blood coming out of his nose. He was force-fed this way until the feeding was finished.
At the National Security Group of Huadian Public Security Bureau, policeman Liu Jingji tied Liu Yuhe on the Tiger Bench during interrogation. They made Liu Yuhe wear a metal helmet and then hit the helmet with a metal hammer continuously for four hours - this is called the "brain-shaking machine." This type of torture can leave people with severe physical impairment: quadriplegia, mental disorientation, concussion etc. Policeman Jiang Honghai also participated in inflicting this torture.
While at the Huadian Detention Center, Liu Yuhe was force-fed with six bottles of mustard oil. This kind of torture can result various stomach diseases, stomach ulcers, etc. These tortures inflicted severe physical damage on Liu Yuhe.
In addition, Liu Yuhe's motorcycle was confiscated by the Hongshi
Township
police station, and his cellular phone, camera and money were taken
from him
without issuing a receipt. Liu Yuhe had been carrying 161 yuan in
cash, but policeman Liu Jingji only returned 61.1 yuan to him with no
word about
the remaining money or the cellular phone.

It has been confirmed that Falun Gong practitioner Yuan Qingjiang, who was tortured and killed at the Daqing Prison, had already passed away on July 23 when he was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. When Yuan Qingjiang was tortured to the brink of death by the prison policemen, the Daqing Prison authorities refused to allow him to be sent for medical treatment. Moreover, they intentionally delayed the process of him receiving emergency treatment. After Yuan Qingjiang was persecuted to death, the prison staff purposely sent his corpse to the hospital for an "emergency rescue treatment," but what really happened was revealed by the doctor. Family members of Yuan Qingjiang were not able to see Yuan's body. Afraid of having their crimes exposed, the Daqing Prison staff forced Yuan Qingjiang's family members to sign their names for the cremation, threatening that if they refused, they would be charged with hindrance of public duties, and even be extorted several tens of thousands of yuan for medical expenses.
In the past three months, Daqing Prison authorities have persecuted three Falun Gong practitioners to death: Wang Hongde, Xu Jishan and Yuan Qingjiang. According to reports, Xu Jishan's family members have brought charges against Daqing Prison through the Daqing Procuratorate. To date, the bodies of Falun Gong practitioners Xu Jishan and Yuan Qingjiang have not been cremated yet.
Mr. Yuan Qingjiang, 41 years old, lived in Room 202, Unit 7, Building No. 108 in the Anbu Section of the Xiangfang District, Harbin City. He began practicing Falun Gong in June 1997. Since the persecution of Falun Gong began, Yuan Qingjiang suffered ongoing brutal persecution at the Harbin City Changlinzi Labor Camp. He was arrested again on March 7, 2003 during the time of the "Two Conferences" of the Chinese legislature. Before this, Yuan Qingjiang applied to go abroad but did not succeed, and this time, the charges for his illegal imprisonment was "betraying the country and fleeing overseas."
During his imprisonment in the Harbin Prison, Yuan Qingjiang was brutally beaten by prison policeman Zhang Jiushan, inmates Guan Dejun and Wang Shijun, and others. He suffered pleural effusion (water collecting in his lungs), became lethargic, and could not move his limbs. During this period, his family members were not allowed to visit him. In July 2004, the Harbin Prison staff beat a Falun Gong practitioner to death in the open, and afraid of having their crimes exposed, transferred Yuan Qingjiang and 30 other Falun Gong practitioners to the Daqing Hongweixing Prison to further persecute them. As of May 1, 2005, Yuan's family did not know of his whereabouts.
Daqing Prison staff phoned Yuan Qingjiang's wife, Dong Liping, around May 1, 2005, saying that Yuan Qingjiang had contracted an infectious disease. They tried to extort tens of thousands of yuan worth of medical expenses from her without describing the seriousness of the disease or how long he was infected. Dong Liping has no source of income and told the prison that she had no money. She also demanded an explanation from the prison staff, saying that Dong Qingjiang had always had a healthy body, so why had he contracted an infectious disease at the prison. The prison policeman's lies were exposed, as he could not answer the question and the incident ended there.
On June 12, 2005, Daqing Prison Team Leader Jiang Shuchen phoned Dong Liping and said, "Your husband is very ill, so you can come and take him for medical treatment." On June 29, Dong Liping went to complete the application procedures, but Sixth Prison District Leader Dong went back on his word and rejected her application, saying that it could not be done. He also said that it takes at least 20 days to process the application, but no one knows what they did to Yuan Qingjiang during those 20 days.
Throughout this period of time, Dong Liping pursued the issue of trying to get Yuan released from prison for medical treatment, but Jiang only made up excuse after excuse, saying that it requires going through a lot of red tape. This went on until July 21. However, on July 22, the prison staff only spent around an hour before the application was processed and approved, but no one sent it to Dong Liping or notified Yuan's family members.
On July 24, Dong Liping telephoned to pursue this matter again, but the prison medical staff said that Yuan Qingjiang had already passed away at 8:30 a.m. on July 23. Dong Liping asked why Yuan had not received emergency treatment, but the prison staff replied that Yuan was sent to the Daqing Fourth Hospital for emergency treatment at 10:30 a.m. on July 22, but he was denied admittance to the hospital by the doctor because he had an infectious disease. At 12:30 p.m. he was sent back to the prison cell. By then, Yuan was already in a coma and could not even control his bladder. On July 23, he was sent to the Daqing Infectious Disease Second Hospital
The chief doctor of the Second Hospital Jiang Jinwen told Yuan Qingjiang's sister that Yuan Qingjiang was dead well before his arrival and that he did not treat Yuan at all. The hospitalization forms and treatment procedures were filled out later on July 25. However, when Yuan Qingjiang's sister visited doctor Jiang to look at Yuan's medical history file later, Jiang replied, "The earthquake in Daqing shook me up terribly, and I can't remember anything anymore." What kind of pressure silenced Jiang Jinwen?
Yuan Qingjiang's wife and sister went to look for the Prison Chief Jiang Shuchen to retrieve Yuan Qingjiang's belongings, but Jiang said all of them had been burned. Yuan Qingjiang's family members have still not seen Yuan's body. The Daqing Prison staff is forcing Yuan's family members to sign their names for Yuan's cremation, but Yuan's wife will not agree to it. The Daqing Prison staff is threatening to charge Dong Liping with hindering public duties by not agreeing to cremation. At the same time, they are also trying to extort tens of thousands of yuan for medical expenses from Yuan's family members.
The Daqing Prison staff has brutally persecuted four Falun Gong practitioners to death: Yu Yongquan (persecuted to death on March 8, 2003), Wang Hongde (May 14, 2005), Xu Jishan (June 7, 2005), and Yuan Qingjiang (July 22 or 23, 2005). We are appealing to people around the world to regard this issue with importance, stop this bloody persecution, bring the criminals to justice, and help secure the release of all illegally imprisoned Falun Gong practitioners.

Ms Liu Fengchun, 69 years old, was a villager from Jinquangou Village, Puwang Town, Yinan County, Shandong Province. All of her family members practice Falun Gong.

When she was detained, Ms Liu was not allowed to sleep for periods of 24 hours, and her legs and hands were tied up for more than half a month. Ms Liu died on February 22, 2005.
Ms Ji Yonglan, 69 years old, was a villager from Jianli Village, Shifu Town, Dashiqiao City, Liaoning Province. She started to practice Falun Gong in 1997 and benefited greatly from it. Although she was not well educated, she could read Zhuan Falun. After July 20, 1999, she still firmly continued to practice Falun Gong. The local police often came to her home to harass her. Her daughter was caught and detained, and was fined 1,500 yuan. Because she was persecuted for a long time in both body and mind, she had a recurrence of an old disease. She died in January 2005.
Mr. Bi Xuming, 79 years old, was a retired worker in the road maintenance section of Nong'an County, Jilin Province. He started to practice Falun Gong in 1997.

He was taken back to the local lockup and suffered from persecution. He was also fined 2,000 yuan. After he was released, his company stopped paying his wages. Because he suffered severe persecution of both body and mind, he died on November 3, 2000.
Mr. Wang Liansheng, 37 years old, was a teacher in the elementary school attached to Nong'an County Normal College, Jilin Province and firmly practiced Falun Gong.

When the education system downsized at the end of 2001, he was not on the list to lose his job. However, because he practiced Falun Gong, his school's leaders forced him to write the "five statements" to denounce Falun Gong. Otherwise, he would lose his job. The leaders went to his home many times to threaten and harass him. Because the mental pressure was too great for him and his wife compelled him to get a divorce, he suffered a mental collapse. He died on March 18, 2002.
Ms Qin Yunzhi, 72 years old, was a Falun Gong practitioner in Nong'an County, Jilin Province. Before she started practicing Falun Gong in 1997, she had many diseases, including liver inflammation.

Then she had five female prison inmates beat her all at once before shocking her with electric batons. Prison inmates Ms. Cui Yanru and Ms. Hou Yan repeatedly beat practitioner Ms. Zhang Wei and deprived her of sleep.

The torturers made her sit on a small and low bench for a long duration. She suffered from electric shocks. She was also deprived of the use of the toilet. Practitioner Ms. Ding Lihua went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution against her. During her hunger strike, prison inmates Ms. Liu Yan and Ms. Yu Xiaohong repeatedly beat her and tortured her.

The camp is planning to extend his prison term.

They have repeatedly extended the prison terms of the following practitioners: Ms. Sheng Lixia, Ms. Liu Xiuyan, Ms. Zhu Yun, Ms. Geng Yulan, Ms. Song Ailian, Ms. Zhang Xiumin, Ms. Gao Fuling, and Ms. Wang Huinan, and have subjected these practitioners to the cruel mental and physical torture of solitary confinement. They don't think twice about torturing those extremely frail practitioners that have been on hunger strikes to protest the illegal detention and tortures. These practitioners were allowed only three trips to the bathroom a day but were not allowed to wash or take a shower. During their solitary confinement, they were also subjected to high volume noise. Each solitary confinement would last 10, 15, or 30 days, and sometimes even months. For those practitioners who went on hunger strikes to protest during their solitary confinement, the prison guards would throw them on the cold concrete floor and step on their limbs before torturing them with abusive force-feeding. They even added a large quantity of salt and drugs to the food(3).
