Mr. Zhong Guoyao was arrested by the police in 2001 and sentenced to one year of forced labor. He was released only after his family had nearly ten thousand yuan extorted from them.

Around August 29, 2004, Mr. Zhong Guoyao was arrested by plainclothes policemen from the National Security Division while clarifying the truth at the Beigandao Market in Nanchong City. Mr. Zhong Guoyao is currently locked up at the Jialing District Detention Center in Nanchong City. Due to torture, he is now just skin and bones, and his life in danger.

Recently, Mr. Zhong Guoyao was put in handcuffs and shackles. From October 30th, the prison authority refused to allow Mr. Zhong's family to visit him. Mr. Zhong's family, including an 80-year old man, went to the gate of the Jialing District Detention Center condemning the injustice and requesting Mr. Zhong Guoyao's release. They also went to the government at all levels to seek justice.

It has been learned that quite a number of Falun Dafa practitioners are still being held in the Jialing District Detention Center.

On August 24, 2004 Mr. Xu was arrested by the railway police when he clarified the truth to passengers on the train.

6. [Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province] Many Practitioners Severely Beaten for Refusing to Wear Nametags at the Jiamusi Detention Center

Recently the provincial authority planned to conduct a year-end examination of the forced labor camp.

On December 7, 2004, policewomen Wang Xiurong, Li Xiujin and others began to search the practitioners, their bedding and bags containing clothes, claiming it was a security check. Early in the morning on September 19, the policewomen ordered the practitioners to put on nametags. Most of the practitioners refused. Li Xiujin shouted abuses and Wang Xiurong kicked 56-year-old Ms. Su Yanhua while swearing at her. Li Xiujin beat and swore at Ms. Zhang Lingde. Ms. Ma Rujun and Ms Zhang Xiaogeng were severely beaten. Zhang Xiaogeng's mouth was swollen as a result of the beating. Liu Yadong threatened to extend Zhang Xiaogeng's term.

Since the practitioners refused to put on nametags, the police sewed the tags onto their clothes. Then the practitioners tore them off. Thereafter, the police beat them up and then sewed the nametags back on the practitioners' clothes. Li Xiujin beat Ms Gao Chenwen.

The "hundred points appraisal" has become one of the forms of persecuting practitioners in the forced labor camp. If a practitioner refuses to renounce Falun Dafa, ten days will be added to their forced labor or prison terms. Eleven practitioners refused to take part in forced labor in protest against the persecution. The policemen swore continuously and extended these practitioners' terms of imprisonment for an extra 20 days. Policewomen Sun Hui and Li Xiurong forged the signature of the head of the forced labor camp to extend Fei Jinrong's term of imprisonment for an extra three months.

The prison tortured him with the method of stretching (1). The tendons of his four limbs are broken and he is crippled. Ms. Ma Chunli was forced to leave home and become homeless in order to avoid being arrested and persecuted. As a result she could not return home, go to work nor even take care of her child.

9. [Yushu City, Jilin Province] Mr. Yang Zhanguo Passed Away as a Result of Persecution

In 2003 Mr. Yang Zhanguo was released. He was extremely weak as a result of the persecution, which caused the recurrence of an old illness. His wife and two sons burned all the Falun Dafa books having been poisoned by the propaganda. They also did not allow Mr. Yang to study the Fa or practice the exercises. Not long ago and only when Mr. Yang Zhanguo was near death, his family finally realized that it was the persecution by Jiang's regime that had destroyed their family. However, it was too late. Mr. Yang passed away on November 30, 2004.

An additional 18 civilians were implicated in the case. They were arrested and sentenced to forced labor. A special case group from the Shenyang Military Region went to 224 hospital several times and this small hospital spent hundreds of thousands of yuan to entertain the members of the group.

They were locked up in the detention center for more than a year. During the detention they were sentenced to forced labor. However, because the harsh treatment had made them extremely weak, the Baoding Prison refused to accept them, so they were turned back to the county detention center.

Now the two of them suffer from dizziness and vomiting and cannot eat properly. Ms. Fang Yongzhen's family requested her release twice but the law enforcement body did not let her go. Instead, they tried to extort 5,000 yuan from them. They even threatened not to release Ms. Fang until they received the money.

When the government officials saw the condition of Ms. Fang Yongzhen and Ms. Lu Guifen, they agreed to let the two go even if their families did not pay the full amount. This is because they do not want to shoulder the responsibility should they die as a result of their abuse.
