On March 23, 2005, Falun Dafa practitioners Mr. Zeng Qihai, Mr. Deng Ye, Mr. Li Xuexian, Mr. Xu Xin, Mr. Zeng Zhiyuan, Mr. Zheng Shifu, Mr. Wang Qingsheng, and Mr. Zeng Yinhua, were transferred from Chishan Prison to Chenzhou Prison. They were isolated and placed under strict monitoring around the clock. They were also forced to do heavy labor, and 24 people were squeezed into one 215 square-foot cell. If there is no labor to do, guards force Falun Dafa practitioners to stand outside under the baking sun. On the morning of March 27, guards forced Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Li Xuexian, who had been on hunger strike several days, to stand facing the wall for six hours. Around 3:00 p.m., prison guards forced him to do torturous physical movements then used electric batons to shock his head. Guards also cuffed his hands onto the metal window frame so that his feet couldn't touch the floor, making his wrists bleed and exposing the bones and tendons. On March 31, guards used electric batons to shock Mr. Li Xuexian's mouth, right temple, and the right side of his face for thirty minutes, causing 800f the skin on his upper lip and 600f the skin on his lower lip to peel off. His mouth and lips were totally swollen and he could not eat. His head and face had six huge wounds from the electric shock batons that all began to fester. He is still being tortured.

4. Persecution Facts of Falun Dafa Practitioners Employed by Longkou Ocean Petroleum Shipping Company in Shengli Oil Field Shandong Province

On July 22, 1999, in order to stop Falun Dafa practitioners from going to Beijing to appeal, two police check points were set up at each main intersection on the road going out of town (Company location). Police forced Falun Dafa practitioners to give speeches in a meeting, and broadcast their talks on local TV. At the beginning of September 1999, former Company CCP Office Chair Zhang Faqing (male) and Liu Zongsen (male) abducted Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Wang Fan to the Company owned hotel, detained her more than one month, and extorted her out of more than six hundred yuan for food. At the end of October 1999, Ms. Wang Fan and her husband Du Jianxin went to visit their parents on vacation but were chased back by Liu Zongsen and others who put them under house arrest for more than one month. Mr. Du Jianxin, formerly a sailor, was dismissed from his job. Mr. Du and his wife Wang Fan were forced to become homeless for more than one month in order to avoid being arrested at home at the end of 2000. In February 2001, Li Guolin (male) and Longkou City 610 Office workers abducted Mr. Du Jianxin to Wangcun Labor Camp for more than twenty days, then locked him in Xiadingjia Brainwashing Center (located in Longkou City) for two months. Ms. Wang Fan was locked in the Brainwashing Center for three months despite the fact that she was still nursing her baby. Supported by the Company CCP Committee, Li Guolin also managed to send Falun Dafa practitioners Hu Bo (gender unknown), Mr. Xu Shibai, Ms. Zhan Fuzhi, Mr. Lu Yusheng and Ms. Li Guizhen to the Brainwashing Center.
