Facts of the Persecution
Falun Dafa practitioners Wu Guihua and Wu Guifang from Chicheng County, Hebei
Province benefited physically and mentally from Dafa practice. They went to
Beijing many times to appeal for Dafa. As a result, they were detained and sent
to a forced labor camp and brutally tortured. Once, holding a handful of nails,
a guard at Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp said to Wu Guihua, "If you don't write the
guarantee statement [renouncing Falun Dafa], I'll nail you to the wall,
the way Jesus was crucified." Every time they were tortured, the practitioners'
faces became deformed and extremely swollen. Their whole bodies were black and
blue, and they bled where they had been hit with electric batons. As several
guards dragged the two practitioners back inside after a torture session, they
left a trail of blood behind them in the snow.
On January 28, 2004, Dafa practitioners Ms. Shi Ning and Ms. Xia Deyun from
Dongying City, Shandong Province went to visit Dafa practitioner Wang Shaohua in
a brainwashing class held by the Shengli Oilfield Oil Extraction Factory. Wang
Shaohua had been held there for a long time. The guards illegally detained the
two visiting practitioners and sent them to a brainwashing class held by the Oil
Transportation Company. The two practitioners resisted all the commands of the
perpetrators and staged a hunger strike. They shouted out the window to expose
the evil. Wang Ziqiang (male), head of the Oilfield "610 Office"* and head of
the brainwashing class was terrified! He separated the two practitioners and
sent them to a brainwashing class in the Shengli Oilfield Oil Extraction
Factory.
My name is Huang Wenying. I was born in 1965 and I am a Dafa practitioner
from Qianjiang City, Hubei Province. On October 18, 1999, I went to Beijing to
appeal for Falun Dafa and was unlawfully held for more than one month. 3,000
Yuan was extorted from me before I was released [500 Yuan is equal to the
average monthly salary of an urban worker in China]. On December 30, 1999, I
was abducted and sent to the Shayang Forced Labor Camp where I was held for a
year and a half. While in detention I was savagely tortured. The guards
handcuffed me and forced me to kneel in the snow and kicked my legs until they
turned black and blue. They continued to monitor me after I returned home. I
have had to leave home to avoid the persecution.
News from Abroad
An open letter from Dafa practitioners in Mainland China to the President of
France and the Mayor of Paris:
France is a democratic nation, a free society and the original upholder of
human rights. We are extremely shocked and deeply upset by the arrest of Falun
Gong practitioners in France. This incident is a replay of what took place in
Iceland and Germany in 2002. We don't want to see the sovereignty of France
cave in to pressure, nor be treated with disrespect and even violated. We
don't want to see the treasured French principle of "freedom, equality,
fraternity" being trampled, and the democratic and peaceful image of France
being blemished and desecrated.
* The "610 Office" is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong,
with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other
political and judiciary systems.
