1. [Chengdu City, Sichuan Province] Ms. Jiang Jiyu Subjected to Long-Term Persecution

Practitioner Ms. Jiang Jiyu from Xinmin Town in Pi County went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Dafa in 2000. As a result, personnel from local 610 Office detained her in a so-called Legal Reformation Class. She was not released until she paid a 2,000-yuan fine. In 2001 Ms. Jiang went to Beijing again to appeal and was put into the Pi County Detention Center. Local government officials then attempted to extort 20,000 yuan from her family but they refused to cooperate. Personnel from the local government then broke into her home and confiscated possessions worth a few thousand yuan. When Ms. Jiang and other practitioners recited Master Li's teachings in the detention center, police department chief Zhang found out about it. Without saying a word, Zhang dragged Ms. Jiang Jiyu and the other practitioners outside and beat them mercilessly. He also kicked them, stomped on them and shocked them with electric batons until Ms. Jiang fainted. A female police officer claimed that Jiang Jiyu was pretending.

Because Jiang Jiyu refused to give in, in December 2001, she was sentenced to two years of forced labor at the Nanmusi Women's Forced Labor Camp in Zizhong City. Police from the camp's No. 5 Team ordered inmates to force-feed Ms. Jiang. They pried her mouth open so hard that her teeth became misaligned. They kicked her legs so hard that she hasn't been able to walk normally since. Policewoman Zhang Xiaofang from the No. 7 Team forced her several times to stand for an extended period of time. She deprived Ms. Jiang of sleep and even tied her to a big tree for a long time. Many practitioners have been tied to this tree, and the trunk and leaves of this tree have withered. After the brutal torture, Ms. Jiang had heart disease, and her mind became foggy. On January 1, 2003, seeing that she was at the brink of death, the police ordered her family members to take her out for hospitalization. Once she had returned home, though, police constantly harassed her over the phone. Personnel from the local government also harassed her constantly in person. To escape the constant physical and mental persecution, Ms. Jiang Jiyu was forced to leave home and live in exile in June 2003. We don't know her whereabouts or whether or not she is still alive.

2. [Guang'an City, Sichuan Province] Police Take Mr. Qu Zhenqing Away

Practitioner Mr. Qu Zhenqing from No. 4 Village, Fulong Township, Yuechi County, was arrested and put into brainwashing classes many times. At around 9:00 a.m. on June 16, 2005, Chen Tianshu and three other officers from the Township Police Station knocked him to the ground and took him away. According to onlookers, police broke the practitioner's arms and handcuffed him. Mr. Qu Zhenqing's whereabouts are unknown.

3. [Kaifeng City, Henan Province] Four Practitioners Arrested

On July 4, 2005, Yang Xiaohai, Xin Chunting, Yuan Xiuying and another practitioner from Kaifeng City were arrested. Ms. Yuan Xiuying was arrested at home while she was doing the sitting meditation.

4. [Maoming City, Guangdong Province] Tang Haiyan and Lai Cuilan Put into the Maoming City Brainwashing Class

On the evening of June 30, 2005, practitioners Tang Haiyan and Lai Cuilan were arrested while clarifying the truth about Falun Gong to people. They are now held at the Maoming City Brainwashing Class.

5. [Guangdong Province] Ms. Si Bing Arrested and Thrown into the Sanshui Brainwashing Class

Between 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. on July 2, 2005, five people with no identification arrested 48-year-old practitioner Ms. Si Bing, a former doctor of the Yanling Hospital of the Guangdong Agricultural System. The arrest took place at the entrance to the dormitory building of the Overseas Chinese Office of the School of Chinese Literature, Jinan University, where her daughter lives. They sent her to the Sanshui Brainwashing Class.

Since the persecution of Falun Gong at the hands of the Chinese ruling Party began on July 20, 1999, the police have arrested Ms. Si Bing seven times for safeguarding the Fa. She was detained three times, each incident lasting over 15 days. She also endured three years of unlawful forced labor. On February 22, 2004, personnel from the Tianhe District Wushan Police Station in Guangzhou City arrested her from her workplace, the Chinese-English Bilingual Kindergarten, and sent her to the Chatou City Brainwashing class for half a year of torture. Finally she walked away with the power of righteous thoughts.

Persons involved or related to the persecution:

Li Qiongyang, 610 Office head for Guangdong Province, who often raids practitioners' homes and sends them to the Sanshui Brainwashing Class: 86-13902237307 (cell), 86-20-38866148 (home)

6. [Gongzhuling City, Jilin Province] 610 Office Personnel Persecute Practitioner Ms. Wang Yumei

Beginning in 1999, Gongzhuling City's 610 Office personnel have sent practitioner Ms. Wang Yumei from Gongzhuling City to a forced labor camp four times and have tortured her until she was in critical condition three times. In the fall of 2004, the National Security Team arrested her again without evidence and didn't release her until she was almost dead.

On July 1, 2005, officials from the Lingxi Police Station in Gongzhuling City held a meeting and ordered a community committee to kick Ms. Wang out because the 610 Office members knew she was living there. This citizen's rights have been severely violated.

7. [Fushun City, Liaoning Province] Wang Guoying, Lin Bai and Ms. Jia Naizhi Sentenced to Nine Years, Eight Years and Ten Years of Imprisonment, Respectively

Practitioner Ms. Jia Naizhi from Fushun City was sentenced to ten years of imprisonment. After three years of detention she was sent to the Liaoning Province Women's Prison, but was refused admission due to her extremely poor health. Now she is being held at the Fushun City Detention Center. Police refused to let her be bailed out for hospitalization. Ms. Jia went on a hunger strike to protest, and she is skin and bones.

8. [Beijing] Police Arrest Ms. Liu Huairu and Sentence Her to Forced Labor for Clarifying the Truth about Falun Dafa

Practitioner Ms. Liu Huairu from Beijing, in her 40s, lives at the Yongle Community in the Shijingshan District. During the Two Conferences (the People's Congress and the People's Political and Consultation Conference) in March 2005, she was arrested and sentenced to forced labor for clarifying the truth about Falun Dafa. Due to her severely swollen legs and feet, the forced labor camp authorities would not accept her, so the police put her into the Tiantanghe Hospital. When her family went to request her release, the police authorities not only did not release her but also demanded her family pay the huge medical expenses. The outrageous extortion made the family very angry. Ms. Liu was very healthy before the arrest, but now she has been persecuted to this extent. The police still refuse to release her.

9. [Lingshui County, Sichuan Province] 610 Office Personnel Arrest Practitioner Ms. Ni Yue'e

On June 22, 2005, Lingshui County 610 Office personnel in Sichuan Province arrested practitioner Ms. Ni Yue'e and put her into the Guang'an Brainwashing Class at the Huaying Old Armed Forces Department.

Zhou Fugang, the head of the 610 Office; Liu Fengfu, the Political and Judicatory Committee head for the County; and others took part in the arrest. The brainwashing class officials tried to force practitioners to give up their practice. They tortured practitioners and threatened those practitioners who refused to give in that they would be sentenced to a forced labor camp, dismissed from their employment, or detained with extended prison terms.

In addition, it is reported that on June 15, a practitioner from Gongjiaba Village received a letter from the Rong County Police Department, which was actually an arrest certificate for Xia Shiquan and the practitioner.

Mr. Wang Jinping was assigned to the No.8 Brigade; Ms. Zhang Xiulian to the No.1 Team of the No.1 Brigade; Ms. Yao Mei to the No.4 Team, the No.4 Brigade. As soon as practitioners arrived at the Dabei Prison, the police immediately started to torture them. Day or night, the criminals prohibited practitioners from sleeping. Ms. Yao Mei was deprived of sleep for four continuous days. On the fifth day Ms. Yao had a nosebleed. Because she refused to give up Falun Gong practice, she was transferred to the No. 4 Team, the No. 3 Brigade. In that team, if practitioners even looked at one another they would be abused. They were prohibited from talking and their every movement was monitored.
