Former "Top Ten National Heroine" Ms. Lu Yanfei Near Death from Persecution after Consecutive Labour Camp Terms

Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Lu Yanfei is from Suining City, Sichuan Province. After she was "illegally detained¹" and persecuted in a forced labour camp for four years, she was sentenced to forced labour for another three years. In Nanmusi Women's Forced Labour Camp, she was persecuted until she was almost dead. She was arrested by the National Security Bureau and is currently being persecuted in a mental hospital.

Ms. Lu, 55, used to be the Female Association Director of Chuanshan County and was elected as one of the "Top 10 National Heroines." Because she practised Falun Gong and went to Beijing twice to protest she was arrested by Wang Qingyuan and others from the National Security Branch Bureau and detained in Linquanshi Detention Centre. Because she refused to cooperate, she was brutally persecuted. She was forced to sit on a torture device called the "Death Prisoner Seat" and was not allowed to sleep. Later, she was sentenced to four years of forced labour and sent to Sichuan Jianyang Yangmahe Forced Labour Camp. She was constantly verbally abused and forced to work for extended hours.

On February 11th, 2004, after being persecuted for four years in labour camp, Ms. Lu was again "illegally arrested" by the National Security Bureau and detained in Suining Detention Centre. Her family took her home after several days. On October 7th of the same year, she was arrested again by the National Security Branch Bureau and sentenced to three years in Nanmusi Women's Forced Labour Camp, where she was persecuted until she was dying.

The methods of torture used by Namusi Forced Labour Camp are boundless. Those practitioners refusing to give up their beliefs, which is called being "transformed²," were stripped naked by drug addicts who were ordered to do so by evil guards. In cold winter, cold water was poured from their heads to their feet, freezing them and making them shiver and turn blue. Practitioners were also force-fed cold water until their stomachs were bloated but were not allowed to go to toilet. Sometimes they beat practitioners until their bodies are completely bloody. Sometimes they use cigarettes to burn practitioners' lower bodies and toothbrushes to stab into their vaginas.

Witnesses say that because Ms. Lu Yanfei refused to give up her cultivation practise, she suffered from all the tortures mentioned above. She was beaten by more than 20 drug addicts at the same time. Every day she was beaten severely by a "Baojia"(an inmate specified to closely watch a practitioner) called Lin Yan.

After great rescue efforts by her families, Ms. Lu was released on February 28th, 2006. However, she was then detained by Wang Qingyuan and Zheng Dashuang from the National Security Branch Bureau in Suining City Minkang Hospital, a mental hospital. The chief doctor, Nie Hongqiang, injected her with unknown drugs and force-fed her.

We hope that kind-hearted people in China, international humanitarian organisations, and practitioners overseas pay attention to Ms. Lu Yanfei's case and support her.

Note

1. Illegally arrested: Contrary to what former Chinese leader Jiang Zemin, who initiated the persecution, and the Chinese Communist Party would like the world to believe, practising Falun Gong is NOT illegal in China. Although the Public Security Department issued an unconstitutional set of restraints on the practice at the onset of the persecution in 1999, no laws have been passed by the only legislative body in China, the People's Congress, banning Falun Gong or granting the police the authority to arrest Falun Gong practitioners for practising the exercises or distributing flyers. For a more complete discussion of the illegality of the persecution of Falun Gong, please refer to the article "The Ban on Falun Gong—A Dictator's Whim, Not the Rule of Law". (Variation: "illegally sentenced")

2. "Reform or Transform" Implementation of brainwashing and torture in order to force a practitioner to renounce Falun Gong. (Variations: "reform", "transform", "reformed", "reforming", "transformed", "transforming", and "transformation")
