Facts of the Persecution
- In January 2000, Jilin Falun Dafa practitioner Yu Guizhen was sent to the
Changchun Heizuizi Women's Forced Labor Camp for one year, and her term was
later extended for two months. She has suffered cruel physical and mental
torture. The policemen hung practitioners by their hands from the top of a
bunk bed so that their feet couldn't touch the ground. Their bodies were
stretched to the breaking point, and they suffered unbearable pain. In the
winter, practitioners were not allowed to dress warmly. Their arms and legs
were tied together, and then they were thrown into a freezing room, where
they suffered for the whole night. They were also subjected to different
forms of corporal punishment. They were forced to do hard labor for at least
17 or 18 hours every day. They usually had to work all night long.

- Mr. Li Tibo, a practitioner from Cangzhou City, was fired from the
Cangzhou City Transformer Factory in Hebei Province because he continued to
practice Falun Gong. He was blackmailed out of 2,700 yuan. In the summer of
2001, Li was arrested for producing truth-clarification materials and
detained at the Cangzhou City No.1 Detention Center. On February 6, 2002,
when he was finally released, he was unable to walk as a result of the
torture. A medical examination showed that he had pulmonary tuberculosis.
Even so, the Cangzhou City Yunhe District Court still illegally sentenced
him 11 years. In November 2002, he was arrested and detained at the No.4
Provisional Jail in Shijiazhuang City. He was tortured until he became very
weak. Mr. Li's mother and younger brother, who live in Hechengjie Village,
Xian County, Cangzhou City, went to Beijing to appeal. They were arrested
and sent back to their hometown. His younger brother Li Xiupeng was brutally
beaten at the detention center. He wasn't released until authorities had
extorted 9,000 yuan from him. After his mother was illegally detained for
over three months, she was sent to Xicheng Mental Hospital, where she was
given injections against her will and shocked with electric needles. In just
over 10 days, she had been persecuted so severely that she was unable to
walk, so they had to send her home. They blackmailed her for a total of
3,600 yuan.

- On October 11, 2004, Harbin City Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp guards
instigated criminal inmates to drag practitioners Yao Shiguo, Sun Ying, Kou
Fangqi, Gao Jizhu, Chang Yongfu, Na Zhenxian, Li Shoutian, Li Chunlin, Liu
Baobin, He Qinghui, An Xiulun, and Wang Shiwei into a room prepared in
advance. Under the direction of the policemen, the criminal inmates threatened
and beat the practitioners to varying degrees. Yao Shiguo, Kou Fangqi, Gao
Jizhu, Chang Yongfu, An Xiulun, Sun Ying, Wang Shiwei, and He Qinghui were
beaten badly. Some were beaten until their faces were black and blue. Some had
their arms and legs injured. Some sustained back injuries from the beatings
and couldn't stand up. He Qinghui, who lost consciousness for over 10 days,
was beaten most severely. He is still receiving medical treatment in a
rehabilitation center to this day. After this incident, the guards tried their
best to block information. They fabricated some false information in order to
evade their responsibilities.

- The policemen from Mudanjiang Jail in Heilongjiang Province are
responsible for several cases of brutality. On January 20, 2004, Liu Minghua,
Head of the No.14 Jail District, kicked practitioner Shen Jinxiang to the
ground and then kicked him in the lower back and head. He also called over a
jail instructor named Gao and ordered him to beat Shen with an electric
baton, injuring Shen's left leg. Shen couldn't walk for over 15 days. Liu
then made Shen do hard labor, preventing Shen's left leg from healing
properly for nearly a year. In early September 2004, No. 8 Jail District
criminal inmate Guo Honglie beat up practitioner Guan Wenlong. When Guan
Wenlong wasn't able to do hard labor, policeman Wu Xiujun beat up Guan with
an electric baton and forced him to work even though his wounds hadn't
healed. On the morning of September 20, 2004, policemen from the No. 8
District used two electric batons to beat up practitioner Huang Guodong. At
the end of October 2004 in the No.6 Jail District, practitioner Yu
Haizhong's family sent him some money, but it was withheld secretly by a
policeman. When Yu wrote a letter of complaint to the person in charge of
the jail, the policeman ordered prisoners to beat up Yu until his nose and
mouth were bleeding. On November 22, 2004, Sui Miao, a prisoner from the
No.8 Jail District, beat up practitioner Guan Wenlong. Huo Songyang, a
caretaker, beat up practitioner Guan Wenlong twice.

- At Shuangliu County's brainwashing center in Chengdu City, practitioners
were detained in a room only a little over 10 square meters for extended
persecution. This was same room where Cai Dongming, a practitioner from
Huayang Township, had been illegally detained for nearly nine months. He
suffered tremendously, both physically and mentally. For the time being, Li
Bihua, Zhong Lijuan from Shuangliu County, Li Qingxue from Peng Township,
Yan Lijun from the Sichuang Gear Factory, Song Jie, and other practitioners
are suffering mental and physical torture in this brainwashing center, where
law enforcement officers arbitrarily beat up and punish Falun Gong
practitioners.

- After Jiujiang Factory employee and practitioner Cao Juncheng went to
Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong, his company stopped paying all of his
salary except for a monthly allowance of 180 yuan. In April 2000, Cao went
to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong again. He was arrested and held at the
detention center for nearly two months. After he came back, his company put
him under surveillance. Cao had to leave home to avoid arrest. He was forced
to leave his wife, who was taking care of a three-year old child under
difficult circumstances. In March 2002, policemen from the 610 Office in the
No.1 Division Security Department of the Shili Police Bureau arrested Cao.
He was held at the detention center for nearly eight months. In November he
was sentenced to 10 years. During his detention, Cao suffered cruel
punishment. He was hung up for one week in a hotel in the city, and a hot
iron was used to burn his chest. Formerly a strong young man, he became weak
and emaciated from the abuse that he suffered.
Another employee named Zhang Wenlei is also from the same factory. He went
to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong twice. He was held at the detention center
and then sentenced to a forced labor camp, where he was subjected to
brainwashing. After Zhang was released from the forced labor camp, he declared
that all he had said and done under the brainwashing to be null and void, and
that he would start practicing Falun Dafa again. Soon after that, the police
arrested him again and sent to the forced labor camp for two years. Now he is
suffering inhuman torture at Majialong Forced Labor Camp.

- The Shijiazhuang No. 2 Jail specializes in detaining Falun Dafa
practitioners. Practitioners are placed under long-term detention and
subjected to both mental and physical torture. Practitioner Liu Xiaorong was
arrested and detained for a year in Shijiazhuang Jail for promoting the Fa
and clarifying the truth. In 2001 she was detained in an individual cell
many times. From May to August she was dragged from the third floor, tearing
open the skin on her back. She was persecuted nearly to death. Liu was
detained in an individual cell many times. She went on a hunger strike many
times and was beaten repeatedly for promoting Falun Gong, clarifying the
truth, and doing the exercises. Prisoners responsible for monitoring her
injured Liu Xiaorong's private areas with an unknown device. She suffered
tremendous pain and couldn't walk. When she recited the Fa, they covered her
mouth with a bowl. Li Xiaoying was persecuted to the point of mental
collapse. Four years have passed. Instead of being released, these
practitioners were transferred to the "legal institution"
brainwashing session to be persecuted. One practitioner at the Shijiazhuang
No. 2 Jail is over 60 years old, and over 20 are young practitioners. There
are between 70 and 80 practitioners confined there all together. Many
practitioners who go on hunger strikes to resist the persecution are
detained in individual cells. They have become very weak, such as Bai Yuzhi,
who has been on hunger strike for over three months.

- Policemen from the Tianjin City Beichen Shuangkou Forced Labor Camp used
cruel punishments to torture practitioners. They shocked them with electric
batons, deprived them of sleep, used criminal inmates to monitor them, let
them bake under the scorching sun, and forced them to put their legs all the
way up in a military posture. The police also fabricated false evidence.
Even when practitioners were killed, they were identified as having
committed suicide. Practitioner Liu Ping, who was tortured to death, was a
33-year-old pilot. Practitioner Chen Baoliang, who was killed, lived in
Beichen Tianmu Town. The persecutors were afraid of being exposed and
transferred a few practitioners who knew the truth to other forced labor
camps. In the Shuangkou Forced Labor Camp's No. 1 Team, the police are even
more vicious. When they forced practitioners to work overtime in order to
increase their own incomes, they ordered criminal inmate Yu Tao to monitor
the practitioners. As a result, practitioner Yang Jianzhuan contracted
pleura ascites, Zhang Jianghao vomited, and Wu Lianyin developed high blood
pressure and couldn't eat.

- Li Weiyuan, Head of the Lingyuan Forced Labor Bureau in Liaoning Province,
used all kinds of excuses to withhold salaries and benefits from his staff
members who practice Falun Gong. In turn, a significant portion of the
withheld money is used to persecute the Falun Gong practitioners. Li Weiyuan,
along with police from the Linghe Police Bureau, arrested practitioners,
ransacked their homes, physically abused them, extorted confessions through
torture, extorted money and assets, and monitored them. Especially since May
2004, in order to meet the "transformation rate" and show off the
labor camp's achievements, Li ganged up with Linghe Police Bureau Head Liu
Qingchen and collaborated with the Fushun Brainwashing Class. Together they
abducted a group of practitioners from Li's staff and sent them to the
Fushun Brainwashing Class to be persecuted each month. Five sessions have
been held already. He planned to continue this until the year's end. Some
practitioners were released and then arrested again, sometimes two and three
times. Some had up to several hundred thousand yuan extorted from them. It
costs 3,500 yuan for each person every month at the Fushui Brainwashing
Class, paid by the Forced Labor Bureau. In addition, after the practitioners
returned from the brainwashing session, they would be detained in the No. 3
Jail for further brainwashing.

- In late November 2003, the Hubei Province Brainwashing Center illegally
and violently seized practitioners from all over the province and put them
into brainwashing classes. They extorted from 6,000 to 7,000 yuan from each
practitioner's family or work unit. At the brainwashing session, a few
custodians who take turns talking nonsense monitor each practitioner day and
night. The practitioners are sworn at, humiliated, and physically punished
for a long time. They are also deprived of sleep, beaten up and otherwise
cruelly tortured. Their tormentors adopted various methods to deceive
practitioners and defame Dafa. A practitioner who is 67 years old became
healthy after cultivating Falun Dafa. A short period after she was sent to
the brainwashing session, she was reduced to skin and bones. She had
injuries all over her body due to the beatings. She couldn't endure the pain
and lost the ability to take care of herself.
