Mr. Wei Danquan Dying Due to Torture at Baoding Forced Labour Camp
2007-11-01
Mr. Wei Danquan is a Falun Gong practitioner from the city of Shanhaiguan in Hebei Province. He has been unlawfully imprisoned at Baoding Forced Labour Camp. Because of torture, Mr. Wei has been coughing up blood, but the guards continue to handcuff him to the radiator and force him to perform heavy labour. On the afternoon of September 26th, Mr. Wei's mother, wife and elderly aunt tried to visit him, but the camp staff stopped them before they even entered the camp's courtyard. Liu Qingyong told them, "The 17th National People's Congress is about to begin. We have received orders that there will be no visits or releases." -
The Persecution of Group 5 in Shijiazhuang Forced Labour Camp
2007-11-01Falun Gong practitioners have been imprisoned and persecuted in Group 5 of Shijiazhuang Forced Labour Camp since 2000. Those in charge have used violence in brainwashing practitioners and tortured them both mentally and physically. The so-called "transformation" by the Chinese Communist Party is, without exception, violently forced on practitioners. In order to encourage wardens to be more violent, an internal policy that awarded the wardens a minimum of 800 yuan for each practitioner they "transformed" was enacted. For transforming the "focused" practitioners, the award can be over a thousand or even over ten thousand yuan each. In October 2004, Qie Lili was tortured and brainwashed with the "flying eagle" torture. She was deprived of sleep for 10 days and at the end she showed the symptoms of a heart attack. She went on hunger strikes several times to protest the persecution but was brutally force-fed every time. -
Mr. Zhuang Gangxiang Bound to a Metal Chair for Five Days and Nights in Changlinzi Forced Labour Camp of Harbin City
2007-11-01In April 2007, 30-year-old Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Zhuang Gangxiang, was detained in Changlinzi Forced Labour Camp in Harbin City. He went on a hunger strike to protest the labour camp's despicable practices that force practitioners' relatives to answer questions slandering Falun Dafa and Teacher Teacher [Teacher Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa] before they are allowed to visit. Two days after the hunger strike started, Yang Jintang (male), the head of the ward, intensified the mistreatment of Mr. Zhuang and bound him to a metal chair for five days and nights. Mr. Zhuang's legs were incapacitated for one week after he was released from the chair. -

2007-11-01On the evening of July 18th, 2007, when taxi driver Mr. Lu Zuojin was delivering goods, he was beaten by police officers from the Qianxi County National Guard because he was suspected of delivering Falun Gong materials. He was brutally beaten from 9:00 p.m. on July 18th to 8:00 a.m. on July 19th. Chief Zhu Zhengang of the national guard hit Mr. Lu in the mouth more than ten times. As a result, Mr. Lu's ears were ringing and he could not hear anything. At the same time, Zhu also stomped on Mr. Lu's legs and hips. Officer Wang Yinguang viciously struck Mr. Lu in the chest. When daybreak was near several police officers tied Mr. Lu up with rope, which they tightened by inserting and twisting a wooden stick in the rope. -
In Memory of Older Falun Gong Practitioner Ms. Wang Yuhuan from Changchun City, Jilin Province
2007-10-31An October 11th, 2007 news item on the Minghui website [Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net] shocked and deeply saddened me--the death as a result of torture of Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Wang Yuhuan. In order to speak out for justice for Falun Gong to the central government leaders and call for a stop to the persecution of Falun Gong, 60-year-old Ms. Wang Yuhuan went to Tiananmen Square in Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. As a result she was arrested, beaten and tortured many times. A good person who believed in the principles of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance" was tortured to death by the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP), simply because she exposed the facts of the persecution of Falun Gong. -

2007-10-31On July 6th, 2007, Ms. Liu Jinfeng and Ms. Liu Liumei distributed leaflets exposing the persecution of Falun Gong to people on their way to the market. They explained to others how the Jiang Zemin regime, [former leader of China and instigator of the persecution] told lies about Falun Gong and how practitioners were being persecuted. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) secretary of Wanshan Village reported them to the authorities. Police chased the two practitioners into the mountains on motorcycles. The policeman smashed Ms. Liu Jinfeng's head against the ground while Liu Chaoyang punched and kicked her. The two were manhandled into a police car and taken to the Wugang City Detention Centre. While in the detention centre, Ms. Liu Jinfeng was often beaten very badly by Deng Yong'an, director of the detention centre, because she refused to renounce Falun Gong. She was put in handcuffs and shackles. After one beating, Ms. Liu lost consciousness and was unable to move. -
Guangdong Province Police Transfers Practitioner Ms. Zhang Lihong, Wife of a Hong Kong Citizen, from a Forced Labour Camp to a Brainwashing Centre
2007-10-30Three years ago my wife, Ms. Zhang Lihong, was in Lufeng City, Guangdong Province, taking care of our two young children, her blind mother, and her 80-year-old father. Owing to her belief in Falun Gong and for exposing the evil deeds of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Shanwei National Security Team agents arrested her twice, on May 19th, 2004, and October 26th, 2004. Following the first arrest, my wife started a hunger strike to protest the unlawful detention. Due to local and overseas rescue efforts, the police released her after three days.

These horrible seven years damaged Cai Zidong's body and mind, and also caused huge suffering for his family. His mother passed away in misery and bitterness during his imprisonment. When the family went to the prison on the release date to pick up Cai Zidong, the prison went back on their word and said that according to a secret order from the 610 Office, none of the Falun Gong practitioners who had completed their terms were allowed to go home. -

Crimes Committed at Moganshan Forced Labour Camp in Zhejiang Province
2007-10-30Practitioner Guo Caiqin is 60 years old. Because of her determined belief in Dafa, on July 6th, 2006, she was sent to Moganshan Forced Labour Camp. Several drug addict inmates are assigned to monitor each practitioner. At the beginning, there were "conversations" where practitioners were pressured into giving up Falun Gong. If that did not work, practitioners were forced to watch video tapes or listen to tapes with the volume turned to the maximum. They were also forced to sit on a bench all day. Every day, practitioners were forced to get up very early in the morning and go to bed very late at night. If practitioners did not cooperate, they were forced to take an unknown drug. If they refused to take the drug, it was secretly put in their food. When Guo Caiqin found out that the inmates were putting drugs in her food, she went on a hunger strike to protest. Five drug addicts force-fed her with frozen bread. Her nose was bleeding and her teeth were loosened. -
Experiences of Persecution at the Fanjiatai Prison in Hubei Province
2007-10-29Hundreds of Falun Gong practitioners have been brutally persecuted at the Fanjiatai Prison, Hubei Province. Practitioners were tortured separately at the prison, especially prior to April of 2002. If practitioners themselves do not tell about their persecution experiences, others will not know about it. For example, practitioner Mr. Fang Longchao was detained alone. No practitioner detained after 2002 ever saw him. I asked an inmate who once monitored Mr. Fang, "What did Fang Longchao do every day?" He said, "He did not do anything. Every day he was made to stand by the window, from after he got up until when he went to bed. His legs were swollen like an elephant's legs." I then asked, "He did not have any activities?" He said, "What kind of activities? He had to urinate in a cup and then drink it." -
