Accounts of Falun Dafa Practitioners' Persecution in Suining City, Sichuan Province

(Clearwisdom.net) Liu Chunfeng, around 50, a female employee of the Suining City Petroleum Company in Sichuan Province, was arrested in September 1999 for going to Beijing to appeal. She was illegally detained for one month in the Suining City Lingquansi Detention Center and illegally fined 1000 yuan RMB. (The average monthly pay of an urban worker is 500 yuan.) After she went to Beijing to appeal the second time, in June 2000, she was illegally detained in the same detention center for three months, fined 2000 yuan, and illegally sentenced to eighteen months of labor re-education. She was later bailed out and awaiting trial when her home was illegally searched in January 2001. Police confiscated a considerable amount of Falun Dafa literature. She was illegally detained for nine months and then sent to the Sichuan Province Women's Labor Camp. But because she was found to have "many severe illnesses" upon check in, the labor camp refused to take her. So the police then sent her to Suining City Beimen Mental Hospital, where she is being tortured to this day, with little hope of ever being released.

Wujiawan Detention Center illegally charges twenty yuan per day from each Falun Dafa practitioner for a "cost of living" fee. But practitioners receive only fifty grams of rice cereal and some preserved vegetables as a daily breakfast, and only 100 grams of rice and some potato for lunch. The evening meal is the same as what they had for breakfast. The detained practitioners are being slowly starved. The detention center ignores the state regulation of "100 grams of vegetables, 150 grams of grains, and 150 grams of supplements each day, with meat once a week." They illegally take food away from the Falun Dafa practitioners to add to their abuse.

There were two sisters from another Township, around the ages of 20 and 40, whose identities are unknown. On September 24, 2001, the police abducted them in Bamiao Township, Suining City, and detained them in the Lingquansi Detention Center. Although the police did not find any Falun Dafa literature on either of them, they were both severely tortured. These two practitioners went on a hunger strike for twenty-eight days to protest. During this time, they were force-fed on two occasions each, and "locked on the iron chairs," where they were prevented from moving at all for an entire week.. (A torture device, for details see http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2002/1/9/17577.html)

Although the elder sister's ribs were fractured, Lingquansi refused to release her or give her any medical attention. Currently, these two practitioners are still being severely tortured. Both are in critical condition, and there is no one to take care of them. (In order to be sent to a hospital, there must be someone present, usually a family member, to bathe the patient, change sheets, empty the bedpan, etc.)

The Sichuan Suining City Detention Center follows the persecution orders of the Jiang regime to "bankrupt them financially." They are persecuting each Falun Dafa practitioner with exorbitant fines, ranging from several hundred to several thousand yuan RMB.

The Suining City detention centers and labor camps do not care about people's lives but regard them as mere trifles.
