At the end of September, 2005, the authorities in Tieli City illegally
arrested ten practitioners, who later were sentenced to
imprisonment by the Tieli City Middle Court. The ten practitioners are:
Mr. Zhou Shuhai, Mr. Liu Hongtu, Mr. Zhou Shuzhang, Ms. Lu Mei, Mr. Sun
Yuemin, Mr. Liang Bin, Mr. Cheng Peifeng, Ms. Tong Yuxia, Ms. Sun
Yuqiu, and Mr. Zhu Hui.
According to a confirmed, reliable source, the authorities of Tieli
City want to transfer the ten practitioners to another facility, and
the practitioners have had blood drawn for blood typing tests.
Due to the many publicly exposed cases of organ harvesting from living
Falun Gong practitioners currently held in concentration camps by the
Chinese Communist Party, this has caused many conscientious people to
worry for the ten practitioners.
Therefore, we are calling on every available practitioner to send forth
righteous thoughts in order to disintegrate all of the evil factors
currently persecuting Falun Gong practitioners, eliminate all of the
Communist Party evil spirits in other dimensions, completely oppose all
the old forces arrangements and aid the immediate and unconditional
release of the ten arrested practitioners.
Mr. Zhou Shuhai was a staff member from the Policy Research Section of
the Yichun City Government. He was arrested on October 29, 2005, and
later sentenced to five-and-a-half years of imprisonment.
Mr. Liu Hongtu is a 37-year-old from the Donggang Community, of Tieli
County, Tieli City. He was arrested on September 26, 2005, and
sentenced to five years of imprisonment.
Mr. Zhou Shuzhang is 41 years old. He was arrested on October 29, 2005,
and sentenced to four-and-a-half years of imprisonment.
Ms. Lu Mei was 43 years old. She was arrested on September 28, 2005,
and sentenced to three and a half years of imprisonment.
Mr. Sun Yuemin is a 30-year-old. He was arrested in October, 2005, and
sentenced to three-and-a-half years of imprisonment.
Mr. Liang Bin, 35, was arrested on September 29, 2005, and sentenced to
two-and-a-half years of imprisonment.
Mr. Cheng Peifeng, 41, was arrested on October 14, 2005, and sentenced
to two years' imprisonment.
Ms. Tong Yuxia, 40, was arrested on September 28, 2005 and sentenced to
two years' imprisonment.
Ms. Sun Yuqiu, 42, was illegally arrested on September 30, 2005.
Mr. Zhu Hui, 31, was arrested on September 30, 2005 and sentenced to a
year-and-a-half in prison.
Wang Qingfu, a Falun Gong practitioner from Songyuan, Jilin
Province, was illegally
sentenced to three years of forced labor. On April 20, he was sent
to Jiutai City Forced Labor Camp in Jilin, where he was tortured so
severely that he could not walk. On May 5, Wang Qingfu started a hunger
strike to protest the cruel persecution against him, and he was
brutally force-fed. His family members worried about Mr. Wang's life
and went to Jiutai Forced Labor Camp to request a visit with him, but
the labor camp refused them.
Wang Qingfu was illegally arrested by the police station in a suburb of
Qianguo County on April 18, 2006. On April 20, 2006 he was sent to the
disciplinary team in Jiutai forced labor camp, Jilin Province, and was
subsequently sentenced to three years of forced labor.
On May 8, 2006, when the family of Wang Qingfu went to visit him, the
forced labor camp refused them. Later, upon the repeated request of his
family members, they were allowed to see him. Mr. Wang could not walk
as normal and had to be supported by others. His wrists showed deep
scars made by handcuffs. Wang Qingfu said that the scars resulted from
his being shackled to a bed with his arms and legs spread wide.
In just over twenty days, the previously healthy Mr. Wang Qingfu was
tortured to a precarious condition. His face became sallow, he could
not walk without the help of others and he had wounds and scars all
over his body. Under this circumstance, on May 5, Wang Qingfu started a
hunger strike to protest the torture against him and he was force-fed
every day. On May 12, his family members worried about his safety and
again went to Jiutai Forced Labor Camp to visit, but the forced labor
camp forbade them from seeing him. The officials at the labor camp
dodged the family and nobody would come out to reply to them. Mr.
Wang's family said that they would by all means appeal and secure
justice for Wang Qingfu.
The 2nd Group of Jinzhou City Forced Labor Camp is a strictly
monitored ward that specializes in persecuting Falun Gong
practitioners. In recent years, labor camp guards have viciously
tormented determined practitioners. Disclosed below are facts about
four persecuted practitioners.
Mr. Miao Jianguo: In order to resist the persecution, at the end of
2005, Miao Jianguo undertook a hunger strike. Ten days later, he was
very weak and was delivered to a hospital. On December 1, when he was
on the brink of death, the authorities put him on medical parole.
However, on the next day, Li Songtao and his followers from the Jinzhou
City Forced Labor Camp broke into Mr. Miao's home. They arrested him
and sent him back to the 2nd Group for further persecution. In the
labor camp, Bai Jinlong (the 2nd Group head) and camp guards forced
Miao Jianguo to sit on a 14-inch long wooden stool. He was forced to
sit there from 4 a.m. to 10 p.m. A week later, Mr. Miao once again
started a hunger strike to protest the persecution. The camp guards
bound him to a chair and force-fed him. Several inmates held him
firmly. They inserted a feeding tube into his nose and poured in milk.
Mr. Miao's nose started to bleed, and the milk was spilled everywhere.
Two weeks later, Li Fenglin, deputy director of the labor camp, lied to
Mr. Miao, "If you stop your hunger strike, we will reduce your sentence
by three months." Around February 20, 2006, Miao Jianguo undertook a
hunger strike for the third time. He suffered barbaric force-feeding
and torture. Every time camp guards Bai Jinlong, Li Songtao, and the
others force-fed Mr. Miao, they would call his family and ask for one
hundred yuan as a
payment for the milk formula. The guard in charge of the force-feeding
was Yang Tinglun.
Mr. Qi Mingli: Currently covered in scabies, he can't stretch his legs.
His eyesight is failing, as he can only see things within a two-meter
range. Around December 10, 2005, Qi Mingli and Liu Quanwang started a
hunger strike. Camp guard Bai Jinlong sought help from guards of other
groups. Together, they took the two Falun Gong practitioners into a
secret room and used electric batons on them for a long time. They
intimidated the practitioners to make them give up the hunger strike.
The two practitioners were covered with bruises. The scabies on Mr.
Qi's body were due to torture and deprivation of sunlight for a long
period of time. Former deputy director of the labor camp Li Fenglin
said to Mr. Qi, "If you "transform",
I will reduce your sentence by a year. Otherwise, I will not let you
see sunlight, nor will I allow you to go outside or take a shower. I
will let you rot in here." When Qi Mingli first arrived at the labor
camp, Chen Changbin forced him to sit on a metal chair for three
consecutive days. After that, Mr. Qi began to suffer from scabies.
Mr. Shao Minggang: In the spring of 2004, Falun Gong practitioner Shao
Minggang was arrested by the Jinzhou City State Security Bureau. After
his arrest, policemen used lighters to burn his lower jaw. Then, Li
Xiejiang, a policeman from the 610 Office,
beat him badly. His face was disfigured as a result. When Mr. Shao was
delivered to the labor camp, he started a hunger strike. Guards in the
2nd Group forced him to sit on a stool. They force-fed him as well.
During the force-feeding, former deputy director Li Fenglin was
present. He ordered guards to use a large quantity of salty water for
the force-feeding. Some guards from the management section and
education section also participated in the torture. Later, guards and
inmates made attempts to forcefully "transform" Mr. Shao day and night.
The torture and persecution caused Mr. Shao's blood pressure to reach
240. He had to be moved to a patient room.
Currently, there are five Falun Gong practitioners in the patient room.
They are Shao Minggang, Liu Cheng, Li Yong, Jiao Lin, and Hu Shaowei.
They are all showing symptoms of illness.
Mr. Liu Cheng: He is from Yi Town. In October 2004, guards of the 2nd
Group tried to "transform" Falun Gong practitioners. They tied up Liu
Cheng's legs and used electric batons on him. Several hours later, when
Liu Cheng was untied, he couldn't move at all. This torture rendered
him unable to walk for over a year. He couldn't relieve himself without
assistance. Inmates had to carry him to the restroom. There are four
vicious inmates there. They are Feng Ying, Pan Xuehai, Zhang Tiejun,
and a man from Xinzhili known only as "Yellow Hair."
In the 2nd Group, the following practitioners are under strict
supervision: Li Lianjun (from Linghai), Hu Shaowei (from Hulu Island),
Weng Hongjun (from Liaoyang), Liu Quanwang (from Hulu Island), Liu
Cheng (from Yi Town), Li Yong (from Yi Town), Jiao Lin (from Dandong),
and Jinzhou City's Qi Mingli, Shao Minggang, and Miao Jianguo.
The most vicious guards in the 2nd Group include Bai Jinlong, Li
Songtao, Zhang Chunfeng, and Yang Tinglun. They forbid practitioners
from going downstairs, and they don't allow practitioners to see
sunlight. It has been five months since the 2nd Group forbade
determined practitioners from going downstairs and outside. They didn't
allow them to take showers regularly. Practitioners are only permitted
to shower occasionally and only with cold water. They don't permit
talking, don't allow family visits, and refuse to deliver the food sent
by the practitioners' families. Practitioner Liu Xueyuan was a faculty
member at the Jinzhou Medical School. One time, his mother traveled
from a village near Dalian City to visit him. The elderly woman
traveled for a long time by bus and by train. She brought some peanuts
for her son, but the guards firmly refused to allow her to give them to
him. She had no choice but to take them back with her.
During the last ten days of February 2006, all the steadfast Falun
Gong practitioners illegally
detained in the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp were persecuted insanely
for refusing to be "transformed."
They were forced to wear the prison uniform, sit in a chair and call
out numbers. They were abused with physical punishment, handcuffs,
beating and scolding by the chief of the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp,
Zhang Mingqiang, Deputy Chief Wang Wei, Chief of the Administration
Section Ma Jishan, superintendent of the Second Women's Section of
Masanjia (so-called the "Mental Education School"), Su Jing, Commissar
Wang Naimin, Chief of the First Team Li Mingyu, Deputy Chief Xie
Chengdong and Li Mingyu's husband Liu Yong, who is also the chief of
the security section at Masanjia. Every Falun Gong practitioner
persecuted was forced by three, four or more policemen to wear a
uniform, and was beaten if he or she would not cooperate.
Falun Gong practitioners Sun Suxiang, Yuan Shuzhe, Yang Baoying and Qiu
Li were all beaten. Sun Suxiang, Qiu Li, Huang Sumei, Liu Guiyuan and
Zhang Jingyan were each confined to a small compartment. In order to
protest the persecution, Qiu Li and Liu Guiyuan went on a hunger
strike. On March 22, 2006, Qiu Li, Liu Guiyuan and Huang Sumei were
brought back from the small compartments and detained in spare rooms in
the First Team separately. Other practitioners who were detained in the
spare rooms include Zhou Hua, Meng Guiqiu, Yuan Shuzhe, Xie Xinying and
others. They all went on a hunger strike to resist the persecution.
The guards shackled the Falun Gong practitioners with handcuffs and
forced them to squat nearly every day from 6:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Sometimes their arms were stretched to the maximum point and shackled
to bed rails until they were numb and swollen; some people's hands were
paralyzed from this torture.
Qiu Li, Liu Guiyuan, Huang Sumei, Meng Guiqiu and Zhou Hua were not
allowed to wash, rinse their mouths or change their underwear for more
than one month. They wore handcuffs every day, and both hands were even
cuffed to the bed railings during the night. On April 10, the
practitioners were transferred to the third group of the First Team in
the First Women's Section of Masanjia Forced Labor Camp. Because they
refused to wear the prison uniforms, they were beaten many times by
criminal inmate Wang Liying and others, and a large amount their hair
was pulled out. At that time, the team leader, Sun Mei was present, but
she turned her back on the abuse.
Ms. Qiu Li is still on a hunger strike to resist the persecution. She
was given forced infusions every day. The "cost" of the infusion is
charged at a rate of 20 yuan for
one bottle each time. The practitioners were also force-fed corn
porridge, salt, one egg and a little sugar, and the cost was also as
high as 20 yuan. Other Falun Gong practitioners who also went on a
hunger strike to protest include Jiang Chunxia from Dalian. Currently,
Jiang Chunxia cannot walk, Qiu Li staggers when walking, and both
practitioners are emaciated.
Twenty-nine Falun Gong practitioners in Changde City, Hunan Province
were seized on December 20, 2005. Some of them were released, some sent
to labor camps, and some faced illegal trials. We know that the
following fellow practitioners now face trial: He Bolian, Yin Hong,
Zhang Chuntao, Shi Yuhua, Yang Dongzhi, Yang Fu, Wang Xiaoqun, and Guo
Zhaoqing.
Zhang Chuntao was seized on December 20, 2005. He went on a hunger
strike to protest the persecution and was released before the Chinese
New Year. On February 2, 2006 he was taken away again, and is presently
illegally
detained in the Changde City detention center. His life is in
danger. At present Shi Yuhua's life is also in danger. However, the
chief of the Changde City police department ordered that Shi Yuhua was
not to be released, claiming that he himself will take the
responsibility if Shi Yuhua dies.
On about April 22, 2006, Falun Gong practitioner Guo Zhaoqing and two
others escaped from a hospital in Li County, Changde area with their
righteous thoughts. At present their whereabouts is unclear. Notices
have been posted everywhere in Changde City offering a reward in order
to catch them. It is said that whoever provides news about the
practitioners will get a monetary reward of 5,000 to 10,000 yuan.
It was reported that last year in Changde City, a few Falun Gong
practitioners were tracked for a very long time. The local government
organs were rewarded for destroying Falun Gong truth-clarification
materials production sites. The destruction of one materials production
site resulted in the arrest of many Falun Gong practitioners. There
appeared many indications beforehand. Some practitioners found they
were being followed many times, some found they were photographed or
that someone had broken into their rented house leaving the contents
inside untouched. Some heard their landlord saying that National
Security personnel asked whether certain people lived there while
showing their pictures. Obviously, there were security loopholes, and
the practitioners did not pay enough attention. Some individual
practitioners who were alerted, were even labeled by others as having
fears.
1. Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Chen Guanghua worked for the Ministry
of Finance in Yuxi City. In January 2005, Hongta District National
Security personnel and officials from the Yuxi 610 Office,
Zhu Jiayong, Ren Haiyan and other police officers broke into Mr. Chen's
home and illegally
arrested him.
They detained Chen Guanghua illegally in the Hongta District Detention
Center. In July 2005, the Hongda District Court sentenced him to 3
years in a forced labor camp. Mr. Chen was tortured inhumanely there.
On the seventh day of his hunger strike to protest against the
persecution, they force-fed him. The rough tube that they used
punctured his nose, throat, and stomach. He suffered from bleeding in
his stomach. Currently, Chen Guanghua is detained in the Yunnan First
Prison.
2. Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Shen Yueping was a doctor at the
Institute for Women and Children's Health in Yuxi City. In 2000, when
she appealed for justice for Falun Gong in Beijing, police officers
illegally arrested her. After they detained her in the Hongta Detention
Center for one month, an officer from the Yuxi 610 Office directly
transferred Ms. Chen to the Kunming Forced Labor Camp. She was
sentenced to a 2-year term in the forced labor camp.
In December 2004, Shen Yueping and her husband Pu Zhiming ran into
fellow practitioners Hu Xianding and Niu Yuqiong at a Hongta District
Trade Show. Police officers, who had long been watching those
practitioners, then detained them using the excuse that they were
"conducting Falun Gong activities." Those practitioners were sentenced
to between 1-5 years in a forced labor camp in May 2005.
Shen Yueping started a hunger strike protesting the persecution in the
detention center. The authorities then sentenced her to a 5-year term.
She persists in her belief and refuses to write the so-called
"Statement of Repentance" and Guarantee
Statement. Ms. Shen often suffers from physical abuse and has been
tortured physically and mentally.
Currently, Shen Yueping is being detained in the Yunnan Second Prison.
3. Practitioner Ms. Niu Yuqiong is a retired staff member from the Yuxi
City Geological Team. The authorities illegally arrested and sent her
to a detention center because she chatted with practitioner Hu Xianding
and other friends. Police officers had been watching her for a long
time.
Soon after more than 10 police officers illegally searched their home,
Ms. Niu's husband questioned them on why they had arrested her without
reason. Then three police officers tortured him until his head was
bleeding. His children wanted to help him but they were beaten as well.
The faces of his daughter and his son were swollen and bruised. They
could not help their father.
Niu Yuqiong was detained in the Hongta District Detention Center for
six months. She started a hunger strike to protest the persecution and
was then tortured severely. In May 2005, the Hongta District Court
sentenced her to 2 years in a labor camp. Currently, Niu Yuqiong is
being held in the Yunan Second Prison.
4. Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Deng Cuiping was a teacher at the
Zhenliuzongqi Elementary School in Yuxi City. While teaching class in
2005, she said, "Falun Dafa is good and tells people to be good." One
student's parents reported her. She was subsequently arrested and
subjected to persecution by Wan Xueyuan and Li Xiufeng. Ms. Deng has
not been allowed to teach classes since then.
On April 8, 2006, Deng Cuiping, Hua Lanxian and Gu Liqing clarified
the truth to people and sent out truth-clarification materials.
They were then arrested by the Hongta District National Security
Office. Currently, Deng Cuiping is being detained by the Yuxi 610
Office in the Jiangchuan Detention Center. Meanwhile, Hua Lanxian and
Gu Liqing were also arrested and are being held in the Hongta District
Detention Center.
Mrs. Zhang Daju in Huilong Village, Nanxing Town, Guanghan City,
Sichuan Province is over 70 years old. In 2002, Mrs. Zhang was arrested
by Guangxing Town police when she was clarifying
the facts in Gaungxing. She was transferred to the Guanghan City
Detention Center on the same day. Mrs. Zhang was released fifteen days
later. In August 2003, Zhang Daju was arrested again and sentenced to
eight years of forced labor. Mrs. Zhang is now imprisoned in
Longquanyi, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province.
Mr. Yang Shouming is a practitioner in Huilong Village, Nanxing Town,
Guanghan City, Sichuan Province. He is also over 70 years old. Mr. Yang
is Zhang Daju's husband. Because Yang Shouming practices Falun Gong,
the Nanxing Police have repeatedly harassed and intimidated him. In
2003, the police forcibly searched Mr. Yang's house and beat him until
he fell unconscious. When Mr. Yang regained consciousness, he was
transferred to the Guanghan City Detention Center and was persecuted
further over there. Yang Shouming was detained for over six months and
then sentenced to eleven years of forced labor. Mr. Yang is now
imprisoned in the Huangxu Town Jail in Deyang City, Sichuan Province.
Mr. Yang Yourun, 31, is a practitioner in the Heping Team Ten of
Nanxing Town, Guanghan City, Sichuan Province. He worked for the
Guanghan City Carbon Factory. On February 2, 2002, Mr. Yang was
arrested for clarifying the facts in Huanxi Team Eleven in Nanxing
Town. He was sentenced to six years of forced labor. Yang Yourun is now
imprisoned in Deyang City's Jiuwu Factory, located in Sichuan Province.
Mrs. Zhang Runzhi, 44, is a practitioner in Eshe, Xinping Village,
Guanghan City, Sichuan Province. On July 12, 2002, she was arrested for
clarifying the facts. Mrs. Zhang was sentenced to five years of forced
labor. She is now imprisoned in Longquanyi, Chengdu City.
Ms. Zhao Xianchang, 35, was a teacher in Guangshan Middle School in
Guanghan City, Sichuan Province. In June 2000, Ms. Zhao went to Beijing
to appeal for justice for Falun Gong. She was detained for fifteen days
by police officer Jiang Tianxing. On December 23, 2000, Zhao Xianchang
was arrested again by officer Jiang for clarifying the facts. She was
sentenced to two years of forced labor. Because Ms. Zhao refused to
renounce her belief, she was arrested at her office by Yang Changjin
from the Education Bureau and officer Jiang at 3:00 p.m. on June 21,
2004. Ms. Zhao was fired from her job and was sentenced to three years
of forced labor. Zhao Xianchang is now imprisoned in the Nanmusi
Women's Labor Camp in Zizhong County, Sichuan Province.
Mr. Wu Tianchong, over 40, is a practitioner in Team 1 of Guangxing
Town, Guanghan City, Sichuan Province. In September 2001, he was
arrested by Guangxing Town police. He was released after serving two
years in forced labor. On April 6, 2004, the Guangxing police and
members of the 610 Office broke into Mr. Wu's home and arrested him. Wu
Tianchong was sentenced again to three years of forced labor and is now
imprisoned in Xinhua Prison, Mianyang City, Sichuan Province.
Wang Wanxing, a Chinese political dissident who now lives in
Germany, was detained in Beijing Ankang Hospital for thirteen years
after openly calling for justice after the June 4th massacre in 1992.
The hospital is a psychiatric hospital which detains criminals,
political dissidents and Falun Gong practitioners. Last August, with
the efforts of the international society, Wang Wanxing was reunited
with his family in Germany.
For two of three years in Ankang Hospital, Wang Wanxing was looked
after by a male nurse working there. The nurse was also a policeman, as
well as a Falun Gong practitioner. Because of the growing internal
pressure from the police system, he was forced to resign. Wang Wanxing
once promised this Falun Gong practitioner that, if one day he could
leave the hospital, he would tell the whole world about this Falun Gong
practitioner's story. He also met two other Falun Gong practitioners
being detained in Ankang Hospital.
In Ankang Hospital, Wang Wanxing also encountered another incident
related to Falun Gong. On December 16, 2001, the Chinese Communist
Party's media broadcasted a program called "Fu Yibin murders father and
wife" to slander Falun Gong. Fu Yibin himself was sent to Ankang
Hospital after the case. After talking to him when he was fully alert
and awake, Wang Wanxing found that that he wasn't a Falun Gong
practitioner.
Below is Wang Wanxing's personal statement:
"I was arrested in 1992 after openly calling for justice after the June
4th incident, and then sent to Beijing Ankang Hospital. They said that
I was a political maniac, but in other countries this wouldn't be seen
as a mental problem at all. On July 22, 2002, I was transferred to the
third squad of the first section, and there I met a male nurse called
Jing Guoqiang who was also a policeman and he was responsible for
looking after me. He was about forty years old. We have had many deep
and meaningful conversations, and he told me he practices Falun Gong.
His wife and child also practice. He also talked to me a lot about
Falun Gong, for example about Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance and so
on.
At that time, all of the Ankang Hospital's nurses were policemen. All
over the country there were more than twenty Ankang Hospitals, and the
police set them up to exclusively detain criminals with mental problems
as well as political criminals like me and Falun Gong practitioners. At
the end of 2004, before the start of 2005, all the nurses there were
policemen. But afterwards due to external pressure, for example they
said that if all the nurses were policemen it would be impossible to
align with international standards. Therefore they also recruited
people who have graduated from nursing academies.
Everyone knew that Jing Guoqiang practiced Falun Gong, but at the
beginning, the hospital could tolerate that, maybe because he was so
good at his job. He was especially friendly to the patients; and he was
very popular and had lots of patience. He was also very good to me and
treated me as a friend and held conversations with me. When he wanted
to appeal for Falun Gong in Tiananmen Square I really didn't want him
to go, because I knew that he would be arrested. I told him that if he
went to Tiananmen to appeal for Falun Gong, there would be no one so
good to look after me. I also said to him, if I could leave the
hospital I would tell everyone about his story. In the end, he did not
go to Tiananmen Square. His wife, I think her name was Li Guifen, went
and she was sentenced to forced labor for a year and a half. Their
child was very small at the time; I think their kid was still going to
preliminary school.
However in 2004, the CCP's Public Security Ministry issued a document
which stated that anyone who persisted in practicing Falun Gong would
be fired automatically without exception. In the end there was an
internal meeting in the hospital. Lei Guoqiang felt that the pressure
was huge, and he was forced to resign.
In the end I lost track of him. I wrote to the head of the Ankang
Hospital, the Police Station, the National Security Bureau, telling
them about the story of Lei Guoqiang. I also told them that persecuting
Falun Gong would lose the people's trust. I never stopped writing
letters.
Another thing is, a few years ago there was a case of the "Fu Yibin
murder." At the time I heard on the radio that this Fu Yibin was a
Falun Gong practitioner. Later, he was also sent to Ankang Hospital,
because all criminals with mental problems were sent here. He was in
the second squad of the first section while I was in class three. I
found an opportunity to ask him whether if he did practice Falun Gong.
Because I knew whatever the CCP said could not be trusted, I was
looking for evidence. He told me that for a very short time he
practiced Falun Gong and then quit. When he committed the murders, he
had stopped practicing Falun Gong.
At Ankang Hospital I also met two other female Falun Gong
practitioners, who were detained for about a year between 2003 and
2004, but then I don't know where they are now. I don't know if there
were more practitioners detained in the hospital.
I can only say this much for them here. Lots of Falun Gong
practitioners are still being persecuted in China while nobody knows
about them. As for those who have been persecuted to death, they cannot
speak out for themselves anymore.

detailed article that appeared on the Minghui.org website (Chinese

Gross abuses under the persecution at the Harbin Women's Prison in
2003, 2004 and 2005
Since March 8, the lawless officials at the Drill Team of the
Harbin Women's Prison handcuffed Falun Gong practitioner Tao Hongmei to
a heating pipe in an office. Lu Jinghua, a group leader, tortured Falun
Gong practitioners Wang Mingyan and others for six months by
handcuffing their arms behind their backs since September 2003. Between
2004 and 2005, Falun Gong practitioners Jiang Yuhui, Feng Guojun, Li
Zhenying and Liu Hui were beaten, and practitioner Liu Hui was beaten
by Tao Dandan. Falun Gong practitioner Chang Xueju was tortured for two
months after March 10, 2004. She was physically abused and assaulted.
During the day, guard Sun Haixin slapped her more than 20 times until
her face swelled up and she bled from her mouth. The guards then
ordered inmates to force Wang Haixia to squat. Falun Gong practitioner
Yan Jinbo has been severely persecuted since 2005 and was forced to
renounce her belief in Falun Gong.
Falun Gong practitioners thrown into ditches in rice fields by
persecutors at the Jiamusi Men's Prison
When practitioners protested the persecution by refusing to work,
guards at the Jiamusi Men's Prison tied them up and threw them into
ditches in the rice fields.
Persecution of Falun Gong practitioners at Jiamusi Women's Labor
Camp in 2004
In 2004, male guards at Jiamusi Women's Labor Camp struck Falun Gong
practitioners who refused to give up their belief with rubber-covered
metal sticks and shocked the practitioners with electric batons. They
knocked out two of practitioner Li Guiqin's front teeth, and her blood
was all over the floor. Four or five practitioners lost consciousness
from the brutal beating, and the perpetrators stabbed them with
needles. Liu Yuekun and guard Mu Zhenjuan were the main perpetrators of
this persecution.
Torture of Falun Gong practitioners at the Hegang Men's Labor Camp
In 2001, persecutors at the Hegang Men's Labor Camp tortured Falun Gong
practitioners by hammering toothpicks underneath the practitioners'
nail beds and striking the fingernails with hammers. After each strike
with the hammer, they would ask the practitioner if he agrees to write
a statement renouncing Falun Gong. If the practitioner refused, the
hammering would continue until all ten fingers were crushed.
In 2002, several Falun Gong practitioners did the Falun Gong exercises
at the No. 2 Detention Center of Hegang City. Each of the more than 50
practitioners had their legs forced apart by a 4-ft. steel bar while
being forced to lie on the concrete ground. They were forbidden to
sleep for one month.

Falun Gong practitioners He Jiansheng and his wife, Liang Xiaoyan own a
hardware store called Xinji, in Xiqiao County of Nanhai City, Guangdong
Province. They and their daughter, He Sihui, are frequently harassed, illegally
arrested and illegally detained by the authorities because of their
belief in Falun Gong. On July 17, 2003, police officers went to their
store and performed an illegal search. Ms. Liang Xiaoyan was then taken
to the Nanhai detention center for persecution. On the night of April
30, 2006, He Jiansheng and Liang Xiaoyan were taken away again by the
police. Their whereabouts are currently unknown. There is no one taking
care of their little daughter.
