  2006-08-18
  On July 26th, 2006, the Mudanjiang City Prison authorities made two phone calls to the family members of Mr. Kong Xiangzhu, requesting that they pay to arrange medical treatment for Mr. Kong. He is presently thin and weak from abuse and torture, and is unconscious. The family members went to the hospital and one of them removed his quilt and saw that Kong Xiangzhu was naked and terribly thin, but was still shackled. Each rib was clearly visible. His weight was about 80 lbs. while he previously had weighed about 125 lbs. He was unconscious. No matter how loudly his family member called to him, he gave no response. They have persecuted a strong young man to the brink of death, but still will not release him.

• Recollections of Ms Yu Lianchun and Her Persecution Death at Jinan Women's Forced Labour Camp

  2006-08-18
  I was very shocked a few days ago when I read the news on the Internet that Ms Yu Lianchun had been persecuted to death. In September 2000, when I was imprisoned at the First Women's Labour Camp Yu Lianchun was transferred to the Division where I was held. She looked very young even though she was nearly fifty years old. I was told that she was subjected to a lot of torture while she was at the First Division. She was beaten many times by the police and inmates because she refused to give up practising Falun Gong. She was only allowed to sleep four hours per day, and was not allowed to sleep until everyone else was asleep. She had to begin work at the warehouse before everyone else got up. She was forced to attend brainwashing classes and she received unceasing threats every day. She became absent-minded, had dull vision, and sometimes talked to herself.
