Since July 20, 1999, the 610 Office, the Public Security Bureau of Nan County, and all its branch police stations in Hunan Province have been ransacking, abducting and extorting money from Falun Gong practitioners in Nan County. In the past six years, one practitioner has been persecuted to death, over 20 practitioners have been sentenced to forced labor, and over 200 abductions and arrests have been carried out against practitioners. In late February 2005, the practitioners in Nan County made truth-clarifying flyers that they distributed all over the county. The Nan County 610 Office and the police stations abducted practitioners Tang Aizhen, He Jianzhang, He Ping, Shi Yuesheng, Meng Fanrong, Guo Wuliang, Yong Guizhen and Tang Zhiwen. Then they tortured them physically and mentally. The police inhumanely beat the practitioners, tied them down on chairs, and deprived them of sleep. They put drugs in their drinking water to confuse their minds, poisoned the practitioners with toxic gas, and exposed practitioners to extremely bright lights to cause mental suffering. The police also instigated prisoners to beat them. According to internal sources in the Public Security Bureau, six practitioners are still being detained. Yong Guizhen and Shi Yuesheng have been released.

My name is Wang Yulan, and I am a 50-year-old woman. I am an employee of the Foreign Trade Company of Zhucheng City, Shandong Province. Since July 20, 1999, my company has detained its employees who practice Falun Gong and forced them to write a Guarantee Statement to give up their practice of Falun Gong. In November of 1999, I went to Beijing with several other practitioners to appeal. We were arrested and detained in a prison for several days before being taken back home by Zhucheng City Police. We were beaten by the police and then transferred to a detention center.

In February of 2000, I went to Beijing again to appeal on behalf of Falun Gong. Upon arriving at Tiananmen Square, I was arrested and sent back to a police station in Zhucheng City. Policeman Cao Jinhui used an electric baton to shock my face and then my mouth. Later at the detention center, I was locked to the iron chair, which is used only for prisoners on death row. My face was repeatedly slapped, my feet were stomped on, and some of my hair was torn out. In May 2000, I went to Beijing again with fellow practitioner Li Yuxiang. Once we arrived at the appeals office, we were arrested and sent to a Beijing police station. My company took us back to Zhucheng City and forced us to drink urine. Then we were sent to the detention center. I went on a hunger strike to protest the inhuman treatment and was force-fed through my nose until it bled.

In November 2000, I was sentenced to three years of forced labor. I saw the police shocking fellow practitioner Ms. Chen Yuxiang with electric batons for a long time. Both sides of her face were covered in blisters. Another practitioner Ms. Shen Zhongxiang was shocked on the arm by an electric baton. She could not put any sleeve on that arm. Practitioner Ms. Guo Fang had her feet shocked so badly that she could not put on shoes for several days. My socks were stripped off, and the bottoms of my feet were shocked with four electric batons. Under this inhuman torture, I gave in against my will. Afterwards, I declared my statement under pressure to be null and void and continued to practice Falun Gong. Therefore, I was denied sleep for nine days and nights in a row. I went on a hunger strike for over a month and was force-fed many times. Once I was restrained by handcuffs during force-feeding. My hands swelled, and my whole body was covered in scabies.

Mr. Li Lixin, a practitioner kept in the prison's fifth ward, was beaten by other inmates. His chest was covered in bruises.

The practitioners in the second, twelfth, and fifteenth wards suffered corporal punishment and inhumane beatings. Practitioner Mr. Liu Mingte was beaten until his mouth and nose bled profusely. Practitioner Mr. Xing Jiaqiu's hand was fractured, and his legs swelled from beatings. Practitioner Mr. Zhu Changming's spine was injured, and he could not walk upright. He could not get into bed by himself and was not able to swallow food. The pain was hard to endure.

Practitioner Mr. Lu Yunlai, 57, lives in Anshan City. In March 2001, he published an article on the Minghui website (the Chinese version of Clearwisdom) to expose the evil deeds of the Anshan City Mingshan Labor Camp. He was arrested in his own vineyard and sentenced to three years of forced labor in the Mingshan Labor Camp, where he was tortured mentally and physically. In July 2003, Mr. Lu escaped with strong righteous thoughts while on a labor trip outside the camp. To avoid re-arrest, he remained homeless and did not return home. On May 5, 2005, the police arrested Mr. Lu again, kicking out his teeth in the process.
