Recent Reports from China
On November 10, 2002, Mr. Song, a native of Zhengzhou City, Henan Province was arrested for the fourth time in the past two years for his practice of Falun Gong. Three arrests occurred in 2000, but Mr. Song was released after staging hunger strikes to protest the torture he received.
In February 2001, Mr. Song was again arrested and sent directly to the Baimiao Forced Labour Camp in Zhengzhou where he was given a two-year sentence. Mr. Song was again tortured and beaten severely, but after staging an 80-day hunger strike, authorities at the labour camp were forced to release him or take responsibility for his death.
After this most recent arrest, Song was detained for seven days in the Jinshui Police Substation in Zhengzhou City, where he was beaten and tortured. He was then sent to the First Detention Centre in Zhengzhou City where he is currently being held.
