1. [Lanzhou City, Gansu Province] Senior Engineer and Practitioner Mr. Qian Shiguang Held at the Gongjiawan Brainwashing Class

At around 2:00 p.m. on May 27, 2005, personnel from the No. 26 Section of the Lanzhou City Police Department arrested Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Qian Shiguang, a senior engineer in the Northwestern Branch of the China Petroleum Exploration Research Institute. He had just stepped out to see a fellow practitioner surnamed Zhang. Officers took him to the police department, grabbed the key to Mr. Qian's home from him and went back his home. They confiscated many copies of Nine Commentaries on the Communist discs; Falun Gong books; truth clarifying materials; a notebook used to make truth-clarifying materials; a Canon printer, fax machine, and copier; and several MP3 players. They also confiscated his family's desktop computer, an Epson laser printer and an Epson copier. That evening they tortured Mr. Qian on a Tiger Bench to force him to tell them the names of all practitioners he has contact with. Mr. Qian pointed out the police's illegal behavior. Later, the police decided to put him into the Gongjiawan Brainwashing Class.

In June 2002, Mr. Qian went to Beijing for the third time and was held at the Beijing Tuanhe Forced Labor Camp where he suffered much torture. In November 2003 he was tortured so severely that one of his two lumbar vertebrae fractured and he was bedridden. The labor camp authorities agreed to let his son bail him out for hospitalization. After Mr. Qian returned from treatment, he was so weak that his family had to take care of him. He was in pain all over, even when he coughed, but he kept studying the Fa. Two months later he could get up and started practicing the Falun Gong exercises. In July 2004 he could walk by himself but had still not totally recovered. Later he kept on clarifying the truth, downloading Falun Gong information and distributing truth-clarifying materials until he was incarcerated in the Gongjiawan Brainwashing Class.

4. [Changchun City, Jilin Province] Ms. Li Chunxiang Brutally Tortured in the Heizuizi Women's Forced Labor Camp

Practitioner Ms. Li Chunxiang is in the No.2 Team of the Changchun City Heizuizi Women's Forced Labor Camp. Because of forced overwork, her right arm turned black and blue and became numb. The prison doctor said she might become disabled, but the forced labor camp authorities still forced her to work. Her family called and petitioned to bail her out, but the female police who answered the phone said they had no such system in place. Her family later went to the 610 Office in Siping City, the Political and Judiciary Committee, and also the Lishu County Police Department's 610 Office to request posting bail for her, but each 610 Office blamed the other for not handling this matter. Finally, personnel from the Lishu County 610 Office told her family to discuss this with its affiliates, the Yehe Town Police Station and National Security Team.

They took them to the Qiaokou Police Department, where the two practitioners were stripped of their clothes, hung up and beaten. Because Mr. Wang Hao's ID showed he was from the Hongshan District, police sent them to the Guanshan Police Station in the Hongshan District that same night.

The son tried to bribe the policemen so that his father could be released, but the policemen said this time money would not work.
