Mr. Li Jinke from Henan Province was arrested on two different occasions for
going to Beijing to appeal for the end to the persecution of Falun Gong. The
second time he was forcibly detained at the Xuchang Forced Labor Camp. In April
of this year, the authorities operating this labor camp began a round of severe
torture of Falun Gong practitioners. Police continue to persecute those
practitioners who remain steadfast in their faith. The building that used to
serve as the place for detainees to visit with their family members is now being
used as a place to torture practitioners. The rooms are filled with instruments
of torture and the corridors and walls are lined with slogans defaming Falun
Gong.
From April through October police have tortured Li Jinke by binding him
tightly in a straitjacket for extended periods. Every night, grief-stricken
cries can be heard reverberating through the sky above the labor camp. Due to
the long-term torture, Li Jinke now weighs only 70 to 80 Jin [about 77 to 88
pound]. The police are continuing to torture him to force him to renounce
his practice of Falun Gong. The president of the labor camp has threatened on
several occasions to inject Mr. Li with drugs against his will.
