--Former army official Jin Fujun of Troop No. 40 from the Shenyang Region has been persecuted constantly from July 20, 1999 to now. He was beaten multiple times and left to freeze in an icy cold small cell (1). Mr. Jin Fujun was abducted in April 2002. The police used four electric batons to shock him at once and beat him up. After he passed out, they locked him in a metal cage. He escaped after enduring numerous hardships. On June 28, 2002, Mr. Jin was abducted again by the Suizhong County Police and was tortured again. He went on hunger strike for more than 100 days to protest. Now he is detained in Faku Prison (an army prison).

--Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Li Heying from Maogang District, Maoming City, Guangdong Province is 78 years old. She had a blood disease in 1996. Her daughter (a Dafa practitioner) showed her Master Li's lecture videos, and her sicknesses went away afterwards. After July 20, 1999, Jiang and his regime started persecuting Falun Gong. Local police abducted her many times and locked her in the No.2 Dianbai Detention Center for seven or eight months, and detained her in the Maoming Legal Education School's brainwashing class many times, where she endured both mental and physical torture.

--Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Yao Mifeng from Wu-an City, Hebei Province went to Beijing to appeal in October 2000. She was then detained in the Wu-an City Detention Center, and had 2,000 yuan (2) extorted from her, plus she was forced to give a 5,000 yuan deposit without getting a receipt. In March 2002, Ms. Yao's husband went to ask for the deposit money back. The police refused to pay it back but instead ransacked her home on March 30, 2002 at 1 a.m. In May of 2003, the local "610 Office"(3) and police worked in conjunction to arrest her and send her to a detention center again. Ms. Yao went on hunger strike to protest and was transferred to another detention center. Several days later, police sentenced her to two years of labor camp and sent her to the Shijiazhuang Labor Camp.

--Facts Surrounding the Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners in Zunhua City, Hebei Province:

In the fall of 2003, city police Li Xiaofeng (female), Zhang Mingzhao (male), and Tian Yongzhong (from Fengzhuangzi Village) abducted Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Yu Yanmin while she was harvesting the field, and sent her to the city brainwashing class. In only six short days, they tortured her until she went from a normal healthy person to a person ravaged by pain and suffering. Another Falun Dafa practitioner, Mr. Zhang Wenming from Xiazhuangzi Village, Puzidian Town, Zunhua City had many ailments before cultivating Falun Dafa. In July 2000, police arrested him and sent him to the Daerli Detention Center to be brainwashed. The food cost was actually less than three yuan per day, but the detention center charged 30 yuan per day. They extorted 1,020 yuan for food from him and another 1,000 as a "fine."

--Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Zhang Mingyan is a high school teacher in Gaocheng City, Hebei Province. Her employer closely watched her after she went to Beijing to appeal, verbally abused her, and fabricated lies against her. They limited all teachers' freedom in order to limit Ms. Zhang's actions. For this reason, other teachers got angry with her. In March 2003, her employer heard that she clarified the truth to her child's teacher, and then told her, "We want to pay you three months salary in advance, so that you can find another job! If you are arrested, we will lose our benefits. We all know there is nothing wrong with you having freedom of belief. But you cannot change society!"

--Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Zhou Guiying from Bangchai Village, Fulongquan Town, Nongan County, Jilin Province was living in her relative's house. After March 27, 2002, when practitioners tapped into Songyuan's TV system to show truth-clarifying programs, police conducted a large scale arrest, arrested her at her relative's house, and sent her to the Heizuizi Labor Camp in Changchun City, where she was given a two-year term. Police used ex-practitioners to watch her day and night, and they tried to use their bogus understandings to convince her to give up her faith. They tortured her by pinching her armpits, slapping her face, making threats, and so on. Ms. Zhou's health declined rapidly. She is partially immobilized and needs help to do simple things like eating.

--On the evening of January 7, 2004, Falun Dafa practitioners Ms. Liu Cuilan (55 years old) from Xiliangzihe Village, Dongxinzhuang Town, Zunhua City, Hebei Province together with Ms. Li Xiujun (40 years old), and Ms. Cao Yanwei (35 years old) were putting up Falun Gong banners when they were abducted by police substation director Jin Guangtian (male), police officer Yu Fu (male), and police officer Liu Li (male). Jin Guangtian sent these three practitioners to the city detention center to be brainwashed. On January 17, 2004, the family of Ms. Li Xiujun paid a 20,000 yuan "fine" to bail her out. Ms. Liu Cuilan and Ms. Cao Yanwei refused to cooperate with the evil or pay the "fine," so they were both sentenced to two years of labor camp and sent to the Kaiping Labor Camp in Tangshan City.

--Police guards in the Qingdao Labor Camp used prisoners to torture Falun Dafa practitioners. Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Fu Xiyou declared all the words he said against his will about Falun Dafa null and void. He was then beaten by prisoners and sent to a strict supervision team. In an icy cold cell, he had to sleep on a small wooden board with only one cover (and no mattress or pillow). He was not allowed to wash or brush his teeth. He had to use the toilet inside the cell. He had to use only his hands to eat, with no chopsticks or spoons. He was not allowed to wash his hands. He had to sit still with four people watching him, and he was not allowed to see the sunlight.

(1) A small cell: the detainee is locked up in a very small cell individually. The guards handcuff practitioners behind their backs in a fixed position, in which the practitioners can neither move nor lie down. The small cell is very damp and no sunshine comes in. Detainees have to urinate and defecate in the cell. Only half of a regular meal is served to detainees locked up in a small cell during the daytime. The stench in the small cell is often overwhelming.

(2) Yuan: the Chinese currency; 500 yuan is the average monthly salary for an urban worker in China.

(3) "610 Office": an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems.
