Mr. Qi Mingli is a practitioner from Liaoning Province. After detaining him in a forced labour camp for three years, the police transferred him to a brainwashing centre located in the Luotai Mountain Retreat area of Fushun City, where those in charge continue to torture him. Due to the persecution, Mr. Qi became disabled long ago and his vision is getting worse and worse. He is only able to see things within a range of less than two metres (6.5 ft).
On May 1st, 2004, the day before his scheduled wedding, about a dozen police officers from the National Security Bureau of Jinzhou City and the National Security Brigade of the Police Department of Jinzhou City broke into his home and arrested him. Four or five officers dragged him from his bed, handcuffed him, beat him, and trampled on his face. During the process, the police didn't show any identification or documents to Mr. Qi's family. Quizzed again and again by Mr. Qi's family, the policemen repeatedly lied to them, claiming that they were from the 610 Office1.
In detention, the police beat Mr. Qi and injured his knees, broke his leg, and damaged his ligaments. But the Police Department of Jinzhou City colluded with the Police Division of Taihe District and sentenced Mr. Qi to forced labour for three years.
Once in the forced labour camp, the guards tortured him by locking him on the iron chair for three straight days. From then on, Mr. Qi suffered from scabies. The guards and anyone they could goad into assisting frequently beat him and tied him to the iron chair. Oftentimes, four or five people beat him together and did not stop beating him even when his face was covered with blood.
One of Mr. Qi's legs was disabled, he suffered from scabies, and his vision became very poor. To put an end to this torture, his family went to Jinzhou Forced Labour Camp again on November 1st, 2005, and asked the police to release him, but the police just tried making things difficult for them.
On November 18th, 2005, Mr. Qi started a hunger strike. On December 6, when he was on the verge of death, the police sent him to the hospital emergency. When his mother and mother-in-law went to the hospital to visit him, the police refused to let them see Mr. Qi and asked his mother to pay the medical costs. They told the two women that they would not continue the medical treatment for Mr. Qi if his family did not pay. The police also pushed Mr. Qi's mother-in-law to the ground repeatedly. They threatened two ladies with arrest if they tried to visit Mr. Qi again.
In May 2006, Jinzhou Forced Labour Camp started another round of torture of Falun Gong practitioners in an attempt to "transform2" them. The guards implemented many means of torture. They even put an unknown drug in the practitioners' food. The drug caused strange behaviour. Mr. Qi was one of those who suffered the most.
On March 1st, 2007, Mr. Qi's term expired. About two weeks earlier, his family questioned the forced labour camp about his release and were told that they would release Mr. Qi on time. But at about 9:00 a.m. on April 29th, 2007, Mr. Qi was called to the administration office and didn't return.
On the afternoon of April 30th, a person who claimed to have internal information called Mr. Qi's family and told them he had been transferred to the brainwashing centre at Luotai Mountain Retreat. On May 1st, 2007, the family went to the forced labour camp and asked those in charge to release Mr. Qi. The camp authorities told them that officers from the Nanhu Police Station of the Heping District in Shenyang City had taken Mr. Qi away and that policeman He (last name) was among those officers.
When the family called policeman He atof the Nanhu Police Station, he admitted that they did take Mr. Qi to the brainwashing centre, but shifted the responsibility to the 610 Office by saying, "The 610 Office required us to take him there."
Now Mr. Qi has now been detained for three years and is still in the brainwashing centre of Fushun City. His family and friends are very worried about his well-being. His right leg has been disabled and his vision is very poor.
