Two Dafa Practitioners Persecuted to Death in Hegang City Since September 2005

According to reliable news sources, Dafa practitioner Mr. Xu Zhicheng from Hegang City, Helongjiang Province was persecuted to death. Detailed information is to be investigated. According to the news, this is the second Dafa practitioner to be persecuted to death since the local authorities started a round of arrests on September 7th 2005. Xu Zhicheng was around forty years old. His previous workplace was the general affairs office of Nanshan Mine in Hegang City. Because he firmly practised Falun Dafa, he was sentenced to a labour camp for three years and suffered from tortures in the Hegang City Forced Labour Camp. At the end of September, Mr. Xu was again abducted from his home by the authorities.

It has also been learned that around the beginning of October, a male Dafa practitioner was tortured to death in the Second Detention Centre of Hegang City. Further information is not known.

We urgently appeal to international human rights organisations, the World Organisation to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong and righteous people in China and overseas for urgent help in rescuing the illegally-detained Dafa practitioners in the Hegang City Detention Centre.
