(Clearwisdom.net July 21, 2003)

I was so shocked to hear that the police from the Dongcheng District of Beijing had tortured Dafa practitioner Ms. Li Yuling to death. She and I just met on the evening of June 24. She was arrested the next day, and tortured to death on July 4. A lively and healthy life was lost in just 9 days.

Falun Dafa Practitioner Mr. Liu Zhongtai of Tengzhou City, Shandong Province Brutally Tortured in Wangcun Forced Labor Camp

Thirty-seven-year-old Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Liu Zhongtai is a worker in the Bayi Mine of Tengzhou City, Shandong Province. Before Zhongtai started practicing Falun Dafa in 1996, he suffered from asthma brought about by misuse of medication. After practicing Falun Dafa for a year, he was completely cured. Zhongtai was grateful to Teacher in his heart, and he has been firmly practicing Falun Dafa and clarifying the truth to people. He traveled to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa in April 2000. He was arrested and turned over to the Tengzhou City "610 Office" and detained in jail for 30 days [the "610 Office" is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems]. After being released from jail, the mine where he worked did not let him continue working his regular job. Instead, they had him work as a janitor in the Department of Security for ten months. In December of 2001, the "610 Office" of Mine No. 81 sent Zhongtai to their brainwashing class. However, Zhongtai did not cooperate with them and firmly refused to write any pledge against Falun Dafa.

Practitioners Disabled by Torture at the Sanshui Forced Labor Camp, Guangdong Province

In December 2002, Practitioner Chen Minwei, from the Guandong Medical College of Zhanjiang City, was tortured by police from the Sanshui Forced Labor Camp. He was deprived of sleep, causing him to develop a high fever. He was forced to squat for long periods of time. Also, policemen directed criminals to beat his face and feet with heavy boots. His feet swelled severely. His flesh was heavily bruised and the bone was exposed to the air. He was sent to the hospital for treatment. Simply because he was firm in his belief, at the end of April 2003, he was sent to the second substation of the forced labor camp to be tortured. The hospital bill was over 10,000 yuan for his emergency treatment. [Chinese currency, the monthly salary for an average Chinese urban worker is about 500 Yuan]. Now the forced labor camp is forcing his family to pay for his treatment through the Safety Department of the Guangdong Medicine College.
