2. Ms. Tan Xiangyu Tortured, Dangerously Thin in Changsha Women's Prison

Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Tan Xiangyu is 58 years old and lives in Changsha City, Hunan Province. On the evening of August 22, 2003, she was arrested by police in Changsha City and then tortured and interrogated for more than ten hours. She was sent to Changsha City Detention Center, and has yet to regain her freedom. In order to resist the persecution, she went on a hunger strike in the middle of October 2004. Her life was in danger, but prison guards refused to let her family visit her, and even threatened her family members. Her family went to visit her in July 2005 after they learned that she had been forced to do heavy labor for more than one month and was being closely monitored 24-hours a day by 4-5 prisoners. She is only skin and bones now.

3. Persecution Facts from Suzhou Prison in Anhui Province

From July to August of 2004, Falun Dafa practitioners were inhumanly tortured. Mr. Dai Zhifeng from Suining County has been locked in the small cell four times, totaling more than ten months altogether. When he was on hunger strike, he wasted away to only skin and bones. The prison guards pulled out his teeth in order to force-feed him. Multiple times he was tortured into unconsciousness and his life was in danger. Mr. Du Shangwei from Northern Anhui Province suffered from bloody ankles due to being shackled. His wounds would not heal for a long time because the prison nurse refused to treat him. Mr. Hu Sikui was crippled as the result of brutal beating. Guards still forced him to do heavy labor. He was forced to take off his heavy clothes and only wear a thin shirt in the cold winter. Prison guards grabbed his hair and slammed his head against the wall. They also burned the cuts and bruises on his feet that they gave him with boiling water. These wounds still have not healed. Mr. Wu Haijing's private parts were shocked with electric batons by prison guards. Also being brutally tortured are Mr. Wang Manyi, Mr. Li Guofeng, Mr. Li Lin, Mr. Li Ce and Mr. Li Yuanwei.
