1. [Zhengzhou, City, Henan Province] Updated Information about Mr. Song Xu
Mr. Song Xu, 31 years old, is a practitioner from Zhengzhou City, Henan Province. Since the persecution of Falun Gong began on July 20, 1999, he has been arrested several times for going to Beijing to appeal peacefully for Falun Gong. In November 2002, Mr. Song was again arrested and secretly sentenced, this time to 11 years in prison. Since the day when Mr. Song was arrested, he has been on a hunger strike to protest his illegal arrest and confinement. Below is the latest information we could get about Mr. Song.
According to Mr. Song's father, when he talked to his son in jail, Mr. Song told him: "If one day the authorities say that I committed suicide or jumped from a building, you should know that it is definitely not true." At that moment, the prison guard who was monitoring their conversation intervened and told them (over the speaker): "Why are you talking about this?" The prison guard tried to stop Mr. Song from talking further. In spite of this, Mr. Song continued: "Now the Public Security Bureau is trying to investigate who posted the article I wrote on the Internet." He told his father: "No matter who they ask, you just tell them you don't know."
Mr. Song's father believes that the authorities were doing very vicious things in the prison. Otherwise his son would not have brought this up. In January 2005 Mr. Song was suddenly transferred from Team Nine to Team One. The details are under investigation.
