Intensified Persecution of Falun Dafa Practitioners at Jinzhou City Forced Labour Camp

Jinzhou City Forced Labour Camp recently began a new round of brainwashing against the most steadfast Dafa practitioners. The practitioners were forced to watch videos, including a video of Wang Zhigang from Changchun, slandering Dafa and defaming Teacher Li. At the same time, practitioners were forced to make products such as wreaths for export. They were also forced to practise Taichi, a different school of practice from Falun Gong. If they refused, they would be tortured by the police.

1. Qi Mingli from Jilin City persecuted until he could no longer walk

A relative recently went to visit Qi Mingli, but was not allowed to see him. This relative, from Jinzhou City, tried to tell the truth of Falun Gong to the police at the labour camp. Li Fenglin, who is in charge of persecuting Falun Gong, said, "If you keep talking, I will put you in the labour camp too." After asking the police on several occasions to see Mingli, his family members from Jilin were finally able to see him. They saw that Qi Mingli's legs were paralysed, as he walked only with heavy support from others. This is the real reason why the forced labour camp doesn't want people to visit him. They are afraid of their crimes being exposed.

2. Li Hongcheng forced to leave home

On June 23rd 2005, Falun Gong practitioner Li Hongcheng was taken away by Xinglong Police Station and then sent directly to a labour camp. He was released from the labour camp after several days of hunger strike. At 10 o'clock on September 26th three guards from the labour camp drove a police vehicle to his home. They harassed him and claimed, "If Li Hongcheng does not show the doctor's medical diagnosis to the labour camp right now, he will be taken to the labour camp again."

Li Hongcheng's wife pleaded with them. Li Hongchen was working in the backyard at the time. Upon overhearing this conversation, he left home. Li Hongcheng was forced to become homeless again.

3. Miao Jianguo detained at Jinzhou City Labour Camp beyond his term; labour camp refuses to grant him bail

On July 22nd 2005, Falun Gong practitioner Miao Jianguo finished his term at the Jinzhou City Labour Camp, but the labour camp refused to release him. Miao Jianguo's 80 year-old parents have talked to the labour camp about his release. However, the labour camp said that they wanted Miao Jianguo to stay longer to compensate for the time he spent on bail for medical reasons. The labour camp had forced Miao Jianguo to pay 7000 yuan¹for bail, money which he had to borrow from friends and relatives. The labour camp purposely avoided mentioning anything about the money. When Miao Jianguo's parents asked for the money back, the authorities refused to comment.
