Brutal Treatment of Practitioners on Hunger Strike

Five Female Practitioners on Hunger Strike for Over 50 Days
in Wanjia Forced Labour Camp

Upon receiving one secret order after another from the Jiang Zemin regime, the Wanjia Forced Labour Camp has continuously been escalating its brutal persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners. Their methods are becoming crueller. Dafa practitioners are on the verge of being murdered, and the situation has now reached a critical point.

Currently, there are five female Dafa practitioners in Wanjia Forced Labour Camp who have been on a hunger strike for over 50 days. The police have transferred them to the Labour Camp hospital for barbaric force-feeding. These five Dafa practitioners are: Hao Xiuzhi, Guo Mingxia, Ding Yanhong, He Miao, and Shang Yuxia. They began the hunger strike in order to demand release, on the grounds of being innocent. They refused the brutally carried out forced feeding. Male police officers and prison doctors Chang Fan, Jiang Chao, and female guards Yu Fangli, Han Xishan, Lin Yingzi, and Hu Bo, hit and kicked practitioners while they were on hunger strike. They held the women's heads to the ground, yanking their hair back while kicking them directly in the face. They continued this until the practitioners' faces were beaten to the point of disfigurement and blood gushed out of their mouths. Thugs beat them until the practitioners lost consciousness and then they started the force-feeding. Hao Xiuzhi and Guo Mingxia remained unconscious after force-feeding, and both their lives are in immediate danger.

Practitioner Liu Junhua in Jiamusi City on Hunger Strike for 32 Days

Liu Junhua is an employee of the Sanjiang Food Company in Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province. He has been on a hunger strike for 32 days and is spitting out mouthfuls of blood. His life is in imminent danger.

Liu Junhua had been illegally sentenced to 1 year of forced labour for going to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong in September 1999. On October 30, 2001, at the home of another Dafa practitioner in Mishan, the police arrested him without any reason or evidence. Liu protested against the politics and security section in Mishan by going on a hunger strike, demanding release on the grounds of innocence. Sixteen days later, Liu was sent to the emergency room of Mishan Lianfang Hospital for several days of treatment, but was not released. On the 22nd day of his hunger strike, Liu was taken back to Jiamusi City.

Currently, Liu Junhua is being held in custody at the Jiamusi City Forced Labour Camp. He is too weak to walk. He spits out mouthful after mouthful of blood. The police officer in the forced labour camp inserted tubes into his nose to force feed him. After each force-feeding, Liu has to vomit for a long time. Prison doctors have diagnosed him with 3 ailments, but the labour camp has yet to release him.

Liu's 70-year-old parents have visited public security departments, the municipal public security bureau, the city government and the forced labour camp. However, they received no answers.

Practitioners in Jinan Hunger Strike for Over 100 Days

Female practitioner Li Xiaoping was illegally arrested by the police in Lixia District in Jinan City on July 2. In the police station she refused to cooperate with the evil persecutors. She rushed to tear down the posters slandering Falun Dafa in the police station. Later she was transferred to the Large Team No.1 of Shangdong Province Female Forced Labour Camp (No.20 Jiangshuiquan Road, Lixia District, Jinan City, Shandong Province; Phone 86-531-85555040) for illegal custody. In the forced labour camp, she has been on a hunger strike to protest the persecution and to demand unconditional release. She started taking food from August 22 to September 2 but then began the hunger strike again. She has been on a hunger strike since then. She is extremely weak because of severe weight loss. Still, those inhuman prison guards continue to torture her by depriving her of sleep and winter clothes. Also on a hunger strike in the same forced labour camp, are Falun Dafa practitioners Zhang Yanyuan and Liu Jian. Their hunger strike is said to have lasted over 100 days thus far, putting them in grave condition.
