(Clearwisdom.net) 1. [Huludao City, Liaoning Province] Ten Falun Dafa Practitioners Have Been
Tortured to Death in Huludao City (1) Mr. Chen Dewen, from Chencun Village, Gejia Township of Suizhong County,
was arrested on October 1, 1999 and detained at the Huludao City Forced Labor
Camp. During his detention the police frequently beat him. The police also
brutally tortured Mr. Chen for refusing to wear a prison uniform. (Note: Falun
Dafa practitioners feel that because they have done nothing wrong and have not
broken the law, they are not criminals and should not wear prison uniforms.)
Mr. Chen protested against such unlawful treatment by starting a hunger strike.
He was force fed highly concentrated salt water. Four Falun Dafa practitioners
were force-fed a total of 500 grams of salt. As a result of such force-feeding,
Mr. Chen coughed all day, everyday until his death. He died at the age of 57. (2) Mr. Wu Guoliang, a high school teacher of the Gangtun Township, Lianshan
District, was arrested on October 31, 1999 and taken to the Huludao City Forced
Labor Camp. He was forced to carry out extra heavy manual labor for eight hours
a day, resulting in extreme fatigue. Mr. Wu was also forced to sit in a
stationary position on a bench for a prolonged period of time. These various
methods of torture made Mr. Wu extremely weak, causing him extreme difficulty
walking. In December, when he was on the verge of death, he was finally sent to
the hospital. Mr. Wu was diagnosed as having terminal tuberculosis, which was
found to be incurable. In order to shirk their responsibility the police
released him on bail for medical treatment. Mr. Wu died ten days after he had
been taken home. (3) Mr. Li Jianhua, a staff member of the Xingcheng Physiotherapy Hospital of
Jinzhou City, was sentenced to five years imprisonment and is currently detained
at the No. 8 prison division of Nanshan Prison, Jinzhou City. His family members
were refused the right to visit him. (4) Mr. Wang Qiang, 27 years old, was a student at the Japanese department of
the Dalian Foreign Language Institute. He is from Tufang Village, Qianyang
Township of Donggang City, Liaoning Province. Mr. Wang was arrested in 1999 and
detained at the Donggang Detention Center and then at the Dandong Forced Labor
Camp. He has suffered from an enormous amount of torture and as a result he
suffered a mental collapse. He has lost his memory relating to language and can
no longer take care of himself in his daily life. 2. [Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] Persecution Cases of Falun Dafa
Practitioners Mr. Wang Weihua, 24 years old, was sentenced to four years of imprisonment
and was transferred to Harbin Prison before the 2002 Chinese New Year. In 2003,
Mr. Wang was tortured to death. Li Huifeng was sentenced to 13 years in jail and was sent to Harbin Prison
with Mr. Wang Weihua. The relentless persecution caused Li Huifeng to suffer a
mental collapse. Ms. Wen Jie graduated from Harbin Teachers' Collage and is a teacher of the
city's ethnic high school. She was sentenced to nine years of confinement at
Harbin Prison. Zhu Li, a lawyer, was sentenced to 4 years of confinement at Harbin Prison. An Jingtao was sentenced to 4 years of confinement at Harbin Prison. Pan Hongdong was sentenced to 10 years of confinement at Tailai Prison. 3. [Jiutai City, Jilin Province] Yinmahe Forced Labor Camp Extends
Practitioners' Detention Terms The majority of Falun Dafa practitioners at the Yinmahe Forced Labor Camp in
Jiutai City, Jilin Province have had their terms at the forced labor camps
illegally extended. Mr. Jiang Jianfeng's term in the forced labor camp was
extended for three months for refusing to renounce his beliefs. Zhou Junzhu had
his term extended several times, totaling nine months for persisting in
practicing Falun Gong. The police intensified their persecution of Li Xiaodong
and Wang Huanli when they were spotted practicing the Falun Gong exercises.
During the daytime the two of them were forced to sit on a bare wooden bed with
their hands cuffed. At night their hands were cuffed to the bed with their two
arms stretched out to both sides. They began to protest against the inhumane
torture because they could no longer bear the suffering. Ms Jin Fengxue, due to
her impaired hearing, could not hear the prison guards' commands therefore she
was severely beaten up. Her face was swollen, her nose was bleeding and she was
unable to walk. Jin Fengxue suffered from the cruelest method of forced feeding
for protesting against the inhuman torture. Jin Guangxu, a university student,
planned on escaping from the forced labor camp. However, the plan failed and his
term was extended for a period of six to eight months as a result. Jiang Weiyin
had her term extended to an additional detainment of between 6 and 8 months for
studying a Falun Gong book. Liu Guangzhi also had his term at the forced labor
camp extended for exposing the persecution. Another practitioner, Lian Shenyin,
was detained further for tearing down some posters that slandered Falun Dafa. Xu
Yangang was confined to solitary compartment and had her term in the forced
labor camp extended for protesting against the persecution. The police at the Yinmahe Forced Labor Camp used more than three electric
batons to shock the sensitive parts of those practitioners who persist in their
beliefs in Falun Dafa. This caused some to develop blisters in and around their
mouths; some practitioner's faces were distorted and still others bore numerous
scars. 4. [Huludao City, Liaoning Province] Police at Huludao Forced Labor Camp
Viciously Torture Falun Gong Practitioners Prison policeman Liu Guohua of the Huludao City Forced Labor Camp,
collaborated with ten other policemen including Wang Shengli and Zhang Fusheng
to force Zhao Lianxin and other steadfast Dafa practitioners to watch videotapes
that slander Falun Dafa. When the practitioners refused the request, one by one
the policemen started to viciously persecute them with cruel methods of torture.
Mr. Zhao Lianxin was the first one to be dragged out. Four or five policemen
stood on top of him so that he couldn't move and then they used their shoes to
beat his face. Liu Guohua and some other policemen used electric batons to shock
and scrape Mr. Zhao's back until his skin was torn and his shirt was soaked with
blood. The evil policemen also pulled down Mr. Zhao's trousers so as to be able
to shock his genitals with electric batons and insert the electric baton into
his anus. Mr. Zhao Lianxin was tortured to the brink of death. However, these
policemen still would not let him go. They poured cold water all over him and
shocked him again until Mr. Zhao had turned black and blue and his eyes were too
swollen to open. Mr. Zhao was beaten beyond recognition. Six Dafa practitioners
were covered with severe cuts and bruises because of the torture. Afterwards,
the policemen handcuffed the Dafa practitioners together and they were forced to
sleep on the cement floor. On the following day, led by Liu Guohua, the
policemen once again kicked and punched these Dafa practitioners one by one.
Policemen pulled practitioners' hair and slammed their heads against the wall
while shocking them with electric batons. These inhumane tortures lasted for
four days. These are just some excerpts of the brutal persecution of the Falun Dafa
practitioners by the policemen at the Huludao City Forced Labor Camp. 5. [Songyuan City, Jilin Province] Name-List of Some Falun Dafa Practitioners
Illegally Sentenced to Prison Terms Zhou Liansheng, Ms. Zhuang Yanzhi, Wang Jianmin (4 years), Liu Dianjun (3
years), Xian Jijun (from the Supply Department of Jilin Oil Field), Cong Guixian,
Ms. Liu Shurong, Ms Diao (Jiang Jianfeng's wife) 6. [Shuihua City, Heilongjiang Province] The Record on Shuihua City Policeman
Li Jianfei's Torture of Falun Dafa Practitioners Li Jianfei is now a policeman of the "610 Office" in the Northern
Forest Area of Shuihua City, Heilongjiang Province [The "610
Office" is a bureau specifically created by the Chinese government
to persecute Falun Gong. It has absolute power over each level of administration
in the Party, as well as over the political and judiciary branches]. Over
the last four years, since July 20, 1999, Li Jianfei led other policemen to
break into Falun Dafa practitioners' homes on many occasions. They threatened
the practitioners by force and illegally searched their homes and confiscated
their property. Every single time he searched a Dafa practitioner's home he had
no search warrant. When Dafa practitioners asked him to show them a search
warrant he said that he was just following orders from above. Li Jianfei also constantly surveyed Dafa practitioners. Li threatened each
practitioner, saying, "Whoever reads Falun Gong books or practices at home
will be arrested and sent to forced labor camps." He also raised his voice
and cried, "To be frank, I will not allow you to read the books or practice
the exercises." Forty-year-old Dafa practitioner Ms. Li Xuelian was a very healthy person.
She began to practice Falun Gong in 1996 and became a steadfast Dafa
practitioner. In April 2002, led by Li Jianfei, the police searched Li Xuelian's
home and took away her Falun Gong books and materials. Li Jianfei abducted Ms.
Li Xuelian to the police station and sentenced her to a forced labor camp
shortly after her arrest. She was then sent to the Shuanghe Forced Labor Camp in
Qiqihar City. Ms Li Xuelian was tortured to the brink of death. Her blood
pressure reached 280 and she suffered from dropsy. Ms. Li had no appetite and
she felt dizzy. She also suffered from uraemia and fluid around the heart. After
being sent home her health deteriorated with each passing day and she then
passed away on December 23, 2003. The fact that a healthy person has been
tortured to death is directly linked to the illegal arrest made by Li Jianfei. To date, three Falun Dafa practitioners have been tortured to death in
Shuihua City. They are Liu Xiwen, Zhang Xiaochun and Li Xuelian. 7. [Linghai City, Liaoning Province] The Evil Acts of the Shishan Township
Police In March 2003, Falun Dafa practitioners Gao Wenbiao and Ms. Ma Dongmei were
reported as they hung truth-clarification banners on the No. 102 National
Highway, while traveling on motorbikes. The Shishan Township Police went to
arrest the two practitioners. Ms. Ma Dongmei was taken to Linghai City Detention
Center and was sentenced to two years of forced labor by the Luyang Police
Station and was later held at the notoriously evil Masanjia Forced Labor Camp.
Gao Wenbiao escaped the arrest with righteous thoughts and was forced to abandon
his home to avoid future arrest. In the process of arresting Mr. Gao the
policemen opened fire on him a few times. His motorbike is still at the Shishan
Township Police Station. Mr. Gao's family asked to have the motorbike returned
to them on several occasions but the police refused their request. Since then
the police from the Luyang Township Police Station and the security guards
frequently went to Mr. Gao's home to harass his family members. Telephone numbers of those related persons and units: Country code: 86, area code: 416 8. [Panjin City, Liaoning Province] Falun Dafa Practitioners Wang Jianquan

and Ma Fuyue from Yangquanzi of Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province were reported as
they were tearing down some posters that slandered Falun Dafa. The two people
who made the report each received 500 Yuan [500 Yuan is the average monthly
income for an urban worker in China]. The practitioners were arrested by the
head of the Yangquanzi Police Station Cao Shusheng, political commissar Li Kejun
and policeman Zhao Rongguo. Yangquanzi Police Station: 86-427-5994110C86-427-5995110 9. [Zhuozhou City, Hebei Province] The Torment Suffered by the Family of
Falun Dafa Practitioner Zhang Hongxia Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Zhang Hongxia from Zhuozhou's No. 4 Water and
Electricity Bureau, Hebei Province was taken to a brainwashing center by her
work unit in September 2001. Later, she left the center with righteous thoughts
and abandoned her home, traveling from place to place to avoid arrest. Her
husband tried to take their son with him to work in Tai'an City, Shandong
Province. However, his work unit wouldn't even allow their 8-year-old son to
leave Zhuozhou. They also forced Ms Zhang's husband to stop working. Now the
father and son live a very hard life. 10. [Huocheng Xian, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region] Falun Dafa

on hunger strike for four days. Due to the brutal forced feedings, Ms. Liu fell
into a coma and was sent to the hospital. Later she was released on bail for
medical treatment. Now the police and those people from the "610
Office" harass her almost everyday, demanding money. They threatened to
send her to a forced labor camp if she didn't give them any money. In theory she
is out on bail for medical treatment, but actually she is constantly under the
surveillance of the police and the "610 Office." Persons responsible: Head of the Shuifenghe City Police Station Li Chunen, Deputy Head Zhang Baili: 13. [Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province] Falun Dafa Practitioner Feng Shaoyong
