• Doctor from China Calls for the Rescue of Persecuted Falun Gong Practitioners

  2007-07-20
  My relative, Li Zhonglan, 44, is a female Falun Gong practitioner. In 2006, she was arrested by the 610 Office of Chongqing City. She was later sentenced to four years in prison. After Li was taken into custody, the officials from the "610 Office" insulted and tortured her in various ways. Her teeth were knocked out, her chin was fractured, and she was not given any treatment! Her chin healed, but is no longer in its original shape. Now she finds it hard to open her mouth and eat, so she can only drink liquids. She is now mentally unstable, physically weak, and holding on with her last breath.

  2007-07-18

It has become an evil den where practitioners are brutally tortured. The authorities confined practitioner Yin Xiangyang to a solitary confinement cell (with extremely bad conditions) for over 40 days, due to his refusal to be brainwashed and because he persisted in his belief. They also stabbed his entire body with needles, forced his legs apart, and forced him to kneel. The Shandong Province prison system has been infamous for adding drugs to practitioners' food, which led to Yang Shuming and others developing critical medical problems, from which they still have not recovered.
