Mr. Li Feng is Extremely Weak From Abuse in Hebei Province No. 4 Prison

Mr. Li Feng is a Falun Gong practitioner in Anguo City, Hebei Province. He is currently being held in Hebei Province No. 4 Prison (also called the Shijiazhuang North Suburb Prison). Once Li Feng was in a torture-induced coma for over 12 hours. Another time he displayed symptoms of severe heart trouble (myocardial infarction). Li Feng often could not eat anything for days. He is presently emaciated and in extremely poor health. Li Feng has elderly parents in their 70s to take care of. His wife and child are dependent on him as well.

The Hebei Province No. 4 Prison is a dark den where persecutors abuse Falun Gong practitioners. About 60 practitioners are incarcerated there. In the past several years the wicked persons in the prison have utilised various methods to brutally torture and thereby "transform¹" them. Some practitioners suffered serious physical and mental disabilities as a result. Practitioners unceasingly launched hunger strikes to urge the authorities to release them unconditionally. Some practitioners are in critical condition. Practitioner Yang Xiaodong died in this prison as a result of gross abuse.

Mr. Li Feng was arrested in 2002, shortly after the successful incident of tapping into cable TV to broadcast a Falun Gong truth clarification video on July 28th, 2002 in Hebei Province. He was first locked up for over ten months in the Xushui Detention Centre in Baoding, Hebei Province.

On July 15th, 2003, the Xushui County Court held a secret trial. The seventeen practitioners on trial exposed the CCP's lies and clarified the facts of Falun Dafa in court. Practitioners Niu Minjie and Zhao Weimin from Shijiazhuang City and others indicated that agents from the Xushui Police Department had tortured practitioners by handcuffing them to an iron chair², electrically shocking them all over, and beating them fiercely with batons. Many practitioners had to be carried to the detention centre since the torture had made them unable to walk.

A lawyer in the court pointed out explicitly that there still are no legal regulations regarding the nature of Falun Gong. The judge asked the prosecutor, "Are there legal regulations regarding Falun Gong that you can provide?" The prosecutor answered, "No!" Thus, just speaking from the legal perspective, all their trials and convictions of Dafa practitioners are against the law! When the court told practitioners to sign the court depositions, many practitioners refused to cooperate with the evildoers and did not sign.
