Mr. Man Shouzheng, 63, from Weifang City, Shandong Province, was sentenced to one year in a forced labour camp for practising Falun Gong. When he was released in March 2010, he could no longer talk because he had developed late-stage tongue cancer. He previously weighed 176 pounds, but after being severely persecuted in the labour camp he weighed less than 110 pounds.

In March 2009, Chinese Communist Party (CCP) personnel in Zhucheng City converted the Taojialing East-suburban School into a facility for persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. Former CCP City Director Zou Qingzhong personally coordinated the Political and Judicial Directory, the 610 Office (an organisation of special agents just for persecuting Falun Gong), and the police department in an effort to arrest many practitioners around the end of March of 2009. The police department summoned almost all the police in the city, and with the National Security Division leading, they conducted a large scale campaign to arrest over a hundred practitioners. They broke into and ransacked practitioners' homes, seized their personal belongings, and took the practitioners away in handcuffs.

In detention, the arrested practitioners were either cuffed to the sides of the beds or to the iron window bars. Some were forced to sit on the ground with water poured over it in the winter when it was around freezing. The CCP assigned guards to watch the practitioners. The guards forbade them from closing their eyes, and deprived them of sleep for days. They tried to force practitioners to denigrate Falun Gong, write the so-called “Three Statements” to pledge not to cultivate anymore, and attempted to force them to tell them the source of the informational materials that they distributed to the public. Those who refused to comply were tortured with gang beatings, were suspended in the air, or shocked with electric batons.

In April 2009, Mr. Man was arrested by Mao Yulong, an officer from the Zhucheng City Police Department's National Security Division. He was detained in the Zhucheng Brainwashing Centre and brutally beaten by Mao Yulong. He was forced to lie on his back while another person stomped on his body and his head. They also slammed his head against the wall. He was later sent to the Wangcun Forced Labour Camp to serve a one-year forced labour term after being detained for one month in the Zhucheng City Detention Centre.

In January 2010 Mr. Man's tongue became swollen, and it was so painful that he could not eat anything. When he was released, he could no longer talk.

Mr. Man's family took him directly to a hospital where he was diagnosed with an advanced stage of tongue cancer, treatment of which would cost over ten thousand yuan¹. Up to this point he was still unable to talk. His mouth overflowed with foul-smelling saliva; he suffered severe pain and could not eat.

After nine months of torture and pain, Mr. Man passed away on December 3rd, 2010.
