The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) continues committing crimes, even though its persecution of Falun Gong has been widely exposed and spurns widespread condemnation from the international community. Instead, the Party has resorted to more sinister and concealed methods. When physical torture and brainwashing fail to "transform1" practitioners, CCP police and doctors use poisonous drugs and other treacherous methods to torture and kill Falun Gong practitioners. In an effort to evade justice, the Party uses lies and violence to keep a lid on an already sizzling pressure cooker. What is exposed in this article represents only a minute portion of history's most brutal persecution.
In the Hospitals, Innocent Lives Vanish Without a Trace
Qingyang District People's Hospital
The Party promises promotions and bonuses in exchange for the hospital staff's devotion to the gross abuse of Falun Gong practitioners who persist in their beliefs. During the process, the Party has turned hospitals into slaughterhouses where Falun Gong practitioners are systematically killed, step-by-step, unbeknownst to the outside world.
The Qingyang District People's Hospital in Chengdu City, Sichuan Province is directly affiliated with Chengdu Detention Centre and receives orders from the Chengdu City 610 Office2. Falun Gong practitioners there undergo brutal force-feeding and are injected with poisonous drugs. As of now, ten Falun Gong practitioners are known to have been killed at this hospital, including Zhao Zhongling, Deng Jianping, Chen Guijun, Duan Shiqiong, Huang Lisha, Hu Hongyue and Shen Lizhi.

Falun Gong practitioners are detained in a heavily guarded zone located in the left wing on the fourth floor. Fully armed military police work in three shifts. Each shift has three officers standing outside the entrance, around the clock, to make sure that no one escapes the wards without permission. To cover up their crimes, the hospital fabricates names, ages and medical records for the practitioners. The bodies of practitioners who are killed are transported to a mortuary at the No. 2 Railway Bureau Central Hospital in Chengdu City and are subsequently cremated at the designated Wenjiang Funeral Home, without any records of the deceased being kept.
One practitioner in her sixties who narrowly escaped death recounted the horrors she witnessed at this hospital:
"Huang Lisha, a woman in her thirties from Emei, Sichuan Province was transferred there from a detention centre because she went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution and refused to renounce her belief. Her bed was next to mine. She was given an unknown drug, non-stop, via an IV infusion until she vomited and defecated blood. The day after I was taken to the hospital I heard her screaming in pain all night long. She passed away on the morning of October 17th, 2002. Her body was removed for cremation minutes after her passing."

"Two more practitioners, Hu Hongyue and Zhang Yalin were brought in on the sixth day of my stay there, which was October 21st, 2002. They had been on a hunger strike for more than 30 days. Each day the police verbally abused them with terrible insults as well as beating and kicking them. They kept the two practitioners shackled in bed. They had no choice but to relieve themselves in bed and sleep in their own excrement. In November 2002, the doctors started injecting them with nerve-damaging drugs, which caused delirium and memory loss. Hu Hongyue struggled for her life through an entire night on November 11th, 2002, and died the following morning. Zhang Yalin suffered a mental collapse and was also incontinent. I witnessed the hospital personnel destroy two people within one month!"
It was heard in early May 2007 that Zhao Zhongling, a worker from the Jinjiang Motor Factory in Chengdu City, was killed at the hospital. Zhao Zhongling was kind and well-liked. She had been detained five times for persisting in her belief in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Officials from the Jinniu District Procuratorate in Chengdu City repeatedly called Zhao Zhongling on March 22nd, 2007, and urged her to come to their office. She went there and never returned. Several days later her elderly parents, nearly hysterical from worry, finally learned that their daughter had been sent to the Pi County Detention Centre where she held a hunger strike. The persecutors transferred her to the Qingyang Hospital where she was given drugs that made her lose her speech. She died early in the morning on May 5th, 2007.
The officials refused to let her family see her body. Her mother angrily asked, "You charged her with 'disrupting social order.' What exactly did she do? Which law did she violate?" The officials yelled, "We can arrest a Falun Gong practitioner whenever we want!"
Several other practitioners are currently held at the hospital including Huang Min, the former deputy head of the Chengdu City Township Enterprise Bureau, who has been on hunger strike for 80 days. Another practitioner who refused to give his name to the police is now near death.
Harbin City Police Hospital
The Harbin City Police Hospital has a secret building in the back where Falun Gong practitioners are brutally murdered. Practitioner Zhang Zhong from Daqing City was killed there in October 2006, as was another practitioner from the countryside.
After entering through the front entrance, the second door from the left leads directly to the secret backyard where a four-story building stands. All of the windows are completely covered with white shades. The building is surrounded by a three-metre tall (9.8 ft.) metal fence. Two brawny men guard the front office. After Zhang Zhong's death, this building was named Hospital for Sick Inmates, but there is no sign.
Mr. Zhang Zhong worked at the Lahua Factory in Daqing. Falun Gong practice transformed Zhang Zhong into a very considerate person. However, he was ruthlessly persecuted for persisting in his belief and for clarifying the facts about Falun Gong. After Falun Gong practitioners in Changchun broadcast videos exposing the persecution in 2002, Zhang Zhong was sentenced to 12 years in prison and held at the Daqing Prison. He suffered from torture-induced multiple organ failure and fell into a coma, and his blood pressure dropped to 40 mmHg (systolic). He was very emaciated. The authorities finally approved his release on medical parole when he was hovering at death's door.

While at home, Zhang Zhong listened to Teacher Li Hongzhi's lectures with the help of fellow practitioners. He started doing the exercises when he was able to move. Miraculously, he recovered within a month and subsequently left town to avoid the police.
He was arrested again in August 2006 while meeting with friends at the Honglang Garden in Harbin City. The persecutors took him to the Nangang Police Department Detention Centre where he was savagely tortured. Two weeks later he was taken to the Harbin City Police Hospital to be further persecuted. After one month his friend(s) visited the hospital but were prohibited from seeing him. Official Xin, who received his friends, said that Mr. Zhang was examined at the hospital and no illness was found. On October 16th, 2006 the hospital suddenly announced Zhang Zhong's death, but refused to let his family and friends view his body.
