 Policemen from the National Security Group in Hefei City, Anhui Province used an iron bar to pry open the door of Ms. Zhu Weiying's apartment and then took her to the Anda Brainwashing Center. After 13 days on a hunger strike to protest such treatment, she walked out of the den of evil. She is unable to return home where she faces near certain arrest. More details follow:

At around 5 p.m. on November 18, 2005, Wang Lu and Lin Qiang from the Hefei National Security Group, director Miao from the Daoxiangcun Community Office, plus more than a dozen others, came to Ms. Zhu's apartment with a one-meter long iron bar. They pried open three separate doors of her apartment on the third floor with the iron bar and dragged her out of the building. Her shirt and pants were torn open and her toes were badly bruised.

Zhu was then sent to the Anda Brainwashing Center. These perpetrators later searched her house again and took away her Falun Gong books, a MP3 player, a VCD player and a tape recorder. Inside the brainwashing center, Zhu refused to accept the evil arrangement and the police's orders. During her 13-day hunger strike, perpetrators force-fed her by inserting a tube into her nose once or twice a day. Several collaborators and perpetrators beat her numerous times and told her, "You are sure to be sent to labor camp if you don't renounce your belief. You will be sentenced to three years of imprisonment. Nobody will find out if we kill you--it'll be just like killing a dog." Zhu remained steadfast and refused to give up her faith.

In the end, the perpetrators had to take her to a hospital upon realizing her critical physical condition. Zhu then walked out of the hospital. She is now homeless.

The policemen who arrest practitioners often inform their family members by saying, "We won't take them to labor camps or detain them like before, but take them to stay in a good hotel this time." Some practitioners wrote so-called letters of "transformation" under huge pressure when they couldn't take it anymore. Some others came out crying. The perpetrators were paid thirty yuan a day for doing such criminal acts.

 Ms. Geng Li is a 31-year-old Falun Gong practitioner from Dalian City, Liaoning Province. She graduated from the Beijing Language and Culture Institute in 1998 and successfully completed her studies as a Spanish language major. She always wanted to be a teacher. After she graduated, she worked as a Spanish language teacher. All the people who knew her, especially the foreign students who study Chinese at her school, appreciated her kindness and purity. Unfortunately even a kind young female teacher won't be spared from the Chinese Communist Party's persecution of Falun Gong.

On July 4, 2005, four male and one female plainclothes officers with a white van illegally arrested Geng Li in front of her school. They didn't show her any credentials. They forcefully arrested her and took her to the Navy Plaza Police Station at Zhongshan District to record a so-called "confession." At the same time, they ransacked her apartment and confiscated two copies of the book Zhuan Falun, one computer, one color ink-jet printer, one cell phone, three video discs and other personal belongings. To date none of her property has been returned.

In the evening Geng Li was taken to the Dalian City Detention Center and illegally imprisoned. Detention center doctors force-fed her because she conducted a hunger strike to protest her mistreatment. She was twice tortured with shackles. Her hands were handcuffed behind her back and then cuffed to her feet using a very short shackle. She wasn't able to sit or lie down. After a while her hands were swollen.

On July 6, 2005, Geng Li was interrogated. The police lied, saying they'd found a lot of flyers, brochures and videodiscs. On July 26, Geng Li was sent to the Second District of the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp. Geng Li stayed on her hunger strike to protest the persecution.

She learned that the police had kept her under surveillance a long time. Even when she went to the supermarket they'd been following her. But, being the kind person that she was, Geng Li still wouldn't believe that these people couldn't be saved. She gave those people chances again and again. Even in the detention center, when the prison doctors and prison police stretched her legs and covered her mouth and nose to force-feed her, she still continued to clarify the truth to them. From what she said later, the environment in the prison was so bad that even the air was full of "lies, cruelty and violence." The prison broadcasted articles slandering Master and Falun Gong every day. The warden said that her practice of Falun Gong was disobedient to the will of the CCP, which was why she was being imprisoned and brainwashed. Geng Li was continuously persecuted, and she began to suffer the symptoms of heart disease. Her chest felt congested and she had difficulty breathing.

She began suffering these symptoms on October 19, 2005. Several times she felt her heart beating fiercely. During a so-called "physical examination" conducted near the end of November, it was discovered that the blood-flow to the vessels in her arms was so poor that no samples could be drawn. Even so, officials at the forced labor camp still tried to shake her righteous belief in Falun Gong. They tried all kinds of methods to change and control her spirit, which she absolutely rejected.

Since they couldn't repress her spirit, they attempted to break her resolve with physical torture.

Her blood vessels were wasted because of the persecution. The prison doctor has tried many times, but still failed to revive her blood vessels. Her heart still beats rapidly and can't be controlled. Her chest still feels congested. If not for her righteous belief in Falun Gong, she wouldn't be alive today.

What worries her most is that the police, prison officials and spies who implement the persecution believe the CCP lies unquestioningly, and feel justified in using cruelty and violence. They don't believe that "Good is rewarded with good and evil provokes karmic retribution." She knows they will ultimately meet with justice as required by this heavenly principle.

 After reading the recent article on the Clearwisdom website, "Call for practitioners who were released from detention to expose the persecution they suffered while in detention," I had much thought. I have been detained at Masanjia Labor Camp for over two years. Here I'd like to expose the vicious deeds they committed to persecute practitioners.

1. Exhaustion by surrounding and attacking. Once a practitioner enters the room, there would be four or five people, sometimes seven to eight, immediately surround him and loudly shout deviant and evil doctrine. The practitioner would not have any time or room to think. The torture would last until he wrote a statement to renounce Falun Gong. Otherwise he was not allowed to return to his room to rest until 1:00 a.m. or 2:00 a.m. Sometimes it lasts the whole night.
2. Terrible environment. They locked up determined practitioners in a dark and damp empty room, water house, or warehouse for a long time. Some rooms did not have windows. In addition, they put the most determined practitioners in bathrooms. They had to eat and sleep in there with a little plastic stool as the only furnishing. Sometimes police came in to use the toilet while practitioners were eating. Some had been detained in a bathroom for two or three months, and even six months.
3. Physical punishment. Practitioners were forced to stand without sitting; some were forced to squat on a tile that was about one square foot. Some senior practitioners could not squat and refused to do so. The police then pushed them and beat them up. Some were detained in solitary confinement and not allowed to use the toilet. Some had wet pants and were not allowed to change on cold and humid days.
4. Forced brainwashing. They were forced to watch videos slandering Falun Gong and listen to the vicious talks given by so-called experts. They were forced to attend brainwashing in groups. In order to get a bonus from their superiors, the police carried out a so-called "battle against determined practitioners" at the end of each year. They intensified their cruel treatment and took turns attempting to force practitioners to give up their belief. If practitioners still refused to give in, they were not allowed to sleep and were subjected to escalated torture.
5. Intense labor. Practitioners were forced to work from 7:00 or 8:00 a.m. until 8:00 or 9:00 p.m. Although they were exhausted, police still often forced them to work until 11:00 p.m. In order to get more money, police forced practitioners to dig holes for planting trees in rural areas or pick corn in the fall for over ten days. They were forced to do this kind of work even when the soil was frozen. All Falun Gong practitioners, young or old, were forced to work from 6:00 a.m. until late at night.
6. Forced to work in toxic environments. Police forced practitioners to manufacture handicrafts working with toxic materials. They knew that it was toxic, but still insisted on using it because they could make more money that way. Ignoring the well-being of practitioners, they forced them to work all year round. In the spring and summer, they could open windows for ventilation, but in the winter they could not keep the windows open because of the cold. As a result, they worked in a poorly ventilated poisonous environment all day long. Many practitioners had different degrees of symptoms including allergies, vomiting, shortness of breath, tightness in the chest, swelling, and skin rashes.
7. Scarce and stale food. The only food we had was corn biscuits. They were hard, yellow and brownish with a stale smell. They were hard to swallow.

At Masanjia Labor Camp, police used various vicious means to torture practitioners mentally and physically, causing some to become mentally ill and others to develop edema. Some had esophageal hemorrhaging due to the long-term force-feeding.

Ms. Li Fengqin is a Falun Gong practitioner. She's from Yushu City, Jilin Province. Police authorities illegally arrested her three months ago. They then beat her and brutally force-fed her. Now her life is in danger. She has to get transfusion treatments every day, and she is extremely thin and weak.

On the morning of October 11, 2005, Ms. Li Fengqin paid a visit to her friend Ms. Yang Xiuhua at her home. Suddenly, a few local police broke into Yang's home and forced the two women to sit on the couch. Ms. Yang's husband returned home and the police then monitored him as well. The police then started to search Ms. Yang's home. Eventually, the police carted Ms. Li, Ms.Yang, and another practitioner off to the police car. Two other practitioners who had been arrested were in the police car already.

The police took them to the National Security Squad. Qi Li from the Squad kicked Ms. Li Fengqin very hard with his boots. Ms. Li fell on the ground and wasn't able to stand up. Other practitioners helped her stand up. Even today, she is still unable to walk properly on her right leg. It was bruised and pained her badly.

That afternoon, the police interrogated them. At about 2 p.m., the police sent them to a detention center. Ms. Li Fengqin couldn't walk, but police officer Zhang Deqing pushed her into a police car. Ms. Li immediately experienced extreme pains in her chest and lower abdomen so intense that she could barely breathe.

After they arrived at the detention center, Ms. Li was in such pain that she wasn't able to get out of the police car. Policeman Chai Wen'ge, along with Zhang Deqing, dragged her out of the car. They handed her over to a few criminals. When two of the criminals saw Ms. Li crash to the floor, they carried her into the cell and put her on a very cold wooden bed. Her leg and stomach hurt badly. She started a hunger strike to protest her mistreatment. On the seventh day of her hunger strike, guards dragged Ms. Li to the detention center clinic for force-feeding. Doctor Li, a doctor at the clinic, force-fed her. They tied her down and inserted a tube into her nose. They poured salt water and milk formula into the tube. The next day they force-fed her again. Ms. Li threw up after both of the two force-feedings, and her stomach hurt badly. On the ninth day of her hunger strike, they gave her a saltwater transfusion. On the afternoon of the tenth day, two doctors came from Changchun and examined her. By that time, Ms. Li wasn't able to sit up. After the examination the two doctors left without saying anything. At 6 p.m. that same day, Ms. Li's family came to pick her up. Several criminals helped carry her out.

The police extorted from 2,000 to 10,000 yuan from each of the families of the more than ten practitioners that they "illegally arrested," that day, including Ms. Li's.

After she went home, Ms. Li started to throw up a greenish substance. Her family sent her to a hospital where they gave her shots, but her condition didn't improve and she still threw up. When doctors examined her, they couldn't detect her blood pressure, and they were unable to draw her blood to test it. Her abdomen swelled. Eventually the doctors figured out that she had a serious intestinal obstruction. However, her health was too precarious to withstand surgery, so the doctors couldn't do anything. Before her arrest, Ms. Li Fengqin didn't have any illnesses and was very healthy.

When Ms. Li Fengqin became unconscious, her family transferred her to the Changchun Medical College Hospital. She came around after 14 hours of intensive treatment.

Ms. Li hasn't able to eat anything since October 11. She often throws up and can't get out of bed. She has to have medicine and infusions every day to keep her alive. She is emaciated and weak. Her family is very worried and has spent over 100,000 yuan in medical bills.

Ms. Song Jizhen, a practitioner from Nanchong City, Sichuan Province, began to practice Falun Gong in 1997 when she still had many illnesses. She regained her mental and physical health after she began to practice. Personnel from various government agencies illegally arrested her after the persecution started on July 20, 1999. They also went to her home to harass and intimidate her whenever a so-called 'sensitive date' approached. Ms. Song suffered severely and died on December 15, 2005.

Mr. Lu Bin, 50, was a practitioner from Luanzhuang Village, Zhuolu County, Hebei Province. He worked at the county's fertilizer plant but was fired from his job because he refused to give up Falun Gong. The director of the factory at the time was Li Chunxiang. When Lu Bin went to Beijing to clarify the truth about Falun Gong in 2000, the government officials took him to the Shijingshan Police Station in Beijing and subjected him to cruel treatment. Both his mind and body suffered severely. As a result, his former illnesses recurred, and he died in the winter of 2002.

Ms. Zhang Jifeng, 64, was from Gaomiao Village, Zhuolu County, Hebei Province. She was cured of many illnesses and became a completely healthy person after she started to practice Falun Gong. Her environment of practicing Falun Gong was ruined after Jiang's regime began to persecute Falun Gong in July 1999. Government personnel from both the village and the township harassed her continuously, causing her old illnesses to recur and her death on January 18, 2005.

Ms. Ma Aiping, 23, was practitioner from Erdaojiang District, Tonghua City, Jilin Province. She died of the persecution in March 2004. The details are still under investigation.

Mr. Hao Lianru, 65, was a practitioner from Baishan City, Jilin Province. The authorities constantly harassed him, and his wife died as a result last year. Tragically, in September 2005, Mr. Hao died, too.

Mr. Li Zhaoyou, a retired worker from Gaozhou City, Guangdong Province, suffered from severe pulmonary disease before he started to practice Falun Gong and often coughed up blood. Many years of medical treatment had not been able to help his condition. After he began to practice Falun Gong, he no longer had to spend a penny on medicine. Not only was his illness controlled, but some of his white hair turned black again. When Jiang's regime began the systematic persecution of Falun Gong, personnel from the local police station often came to his home to intimidate him, trying to coerce him into giving up his Falun Gong practice. Consequently, his old illness reappeared, and he died in 2000.

Mr. Zheng Dejun, who is in his 30s and a Yichang City resident, was illegally arrested in 2000 and later sent to the Shayang Forced Labor Camp for a 3-year term. In April 2003, he was sentenced to another 3-year term. During his imprisonment, police asked drug addicts to drag him on the ground. He was dragged all the way to a field miles away. With one hand handcuffed to a tree branch, his body was dangling two meters from the ground.

In the summer of 2004, because he tried to stop police from torturing other Falun Gong practitioners, Mr. Zheng was put in solitary confinement. Despite the hot weather, the door and the windows all remained shut, and he was forced to stand, sit, and squat straight and still for hours. Police viciously beat him up and repeatedly subjected him to electric shocks in order to force him to give up his faith. All year round, he was not allowed to go to bed until 1 a.m. and had to get up at 5 a.m. Zheng had gone on hunger strikes to protest the torture.

At about 9:00 p.m. on January 12, 2006, officials from the Jiexi 610 Office, along with the Mianhu Police and local security guards went to the homes of Ms. Wen Fenhua, Ms. Yang Li, Ms. Wang Fenzhen, and Ms. Hong Lizhu, and conducted illegal searches, intimidating and harassing them. They took away the fax machine that the husband of Ms. Hong Lizhu used for business. When the 610 Office officials arrived, only Ms. Hong's daughter was at home, and she was forced to sign the papers, or else she would be taken to the police station. Afterwards, the officials and the police went to Ms. Hong's business to ransack it as well.

In October 2005, the police, on a tip that Ms. He Shuqin of East China Designing Academy in Jiaozhou had clarified the truth to the leadership at a recreation center for retired cadres of the academy, arrested her and later sentenced her to one year of forced labor. Now Ms. He is serving her term at the Wangcun Forced Labor Camp in Shandong Province. Prior to her arrest, her home had been illegally searched.

Ms. Liu Yuying, in her 50s, lives at Huang Village Stop, Daxing District, Beijing. She was twice arrested by Daxing Police and was sent to Tiantanghe Forced Labor Camp. While serving her term, she was twice sent to the Shatan Police Hospital for further torture. Now she is in critical condition and her family has not been allowed to visit her.

Mr. Li Lianjun, who was arrested in the late afternoon of December 28, 2005 in Dalian, is now detained at the House of Correction in Jinzhou City.

The office phone numbers for Pan Zhongze, in charge of persecuting Falun Gong at the Panjin City Police: 86-427-2682043 or 86-427-2682041

The Court at Beichuan County, Mianyang City, Sichuan Province, held a closed trial this morning against six Falun Gong practitioners, Yin Huajie, Zhang Chunbao, Feng Wei, Yue Bin, Gao Yan, and Ming Zhu. The six practitioners were arrested in late April 2005, and had been illegally detained for nearly seven months.

On January 21, 2006, Mr. Zhu Benfu of Dalian City was discovered to be missing, and his wife, Ms. Sun Jingmei, was arrested the next day. Now their two daughters are homeless.

After his arrest in 2004, Mr. Qiao Jianpeng was secretly sent for brainwashing at Tiantanghe Legal Training Center located at Daxing County. Now illegally sentenced and with a term expiring on April 18, 2006, he is being held at the Detention Center in Chaoyang District, Beijing.
