(Clearwisdom.net) In the past seven years, Falun Dafa practitioners in Tianshui, Gansu Province, have suffered inhuman tribulations. Some families were shattered to pieces, some practitioners were beaten, some were injured, became crippled or have died. Several hundred practitioners were harassed and "illegally imprisoned." Lawless personnel even secretly sentenced disabled practitioner Liu Xiaoming to prison terms. We demand the immediate release of all imprisoned practitioners.

It has been confirmed that the 11 above-named practitioners are in the Tianshui No. 3 Prison. The situations of dozens more practitioners need to be investigated further.

Practitioners Yin Xiaolan, Tang Qiong, Zhang Jinmei, Liu Xiaoming and others were illegally sentenced are imprisoned at Lanzhou Women's Prison of Gansu Province.

1. Mr. Liu Zhirong died in Tianshui No. 3 Prison. Mr. Liu was among the seven practitioners who were transferred from Dingxi Prison to Tianshui No. 3 Prison on December 14, 2005. On January 11, 2006, Tianshui Prison sent people to notify Mr. Liu's family that he had "committed suicide." On January 13, eight of his relatives first saw his body at the crematory. He was dressed only in red underwear. There were several knife marks on his neck. The police said it was from a knife. His body did not show traces of blood, except at the knife cuts. One of the corners of his eyes was severely infected. When a relative asked about the eye, the police officer said, "He was bitten by a mouse." (There were so many other places on his body; why would a mouse bite his eye?) On January 14, relatives viewed his body for the second time. They asked to check for blood on his quilt. The police replied that the quilt had been burned. They asked to take the body with them. The police replied, "We won't give you the body. It will be directly cremated!" Police surrounded the relatives, who were afraid to say anything more.
   
   A witness said, "He was beaten to death. When I saw him being dragged out of the prison cell!" The witness said that Mr. Liu had refused to call out his roll call numbers and a group of police guards beat him. A heavy kick behind his ear rendered Mr. Liu unconscious. He was supposedly sent for a physical examination (investigations are still being made to determine where he was examined). When he was sent back he died. The police lied when they claimed that that he had committed suicide. To cover up this murder the police also conducted a so-called "great security inspection."
   
2. Mr. Huang Lizhi, 53 years old, a practitioner from Mawusi Village, Shilipu Township, Gangu County, Tianshui City, Gansu Province, was severely injured from beatings and then died.
   
3. Ms. Cheng Guilan, practitioner from the Maiji District, Tianshui City, Gansu Province, and principal engineer of 213 Division of Atomic Industrial Department was tortured to death.
   
4. Ms. Liu Wenyu, 53 years old, retired from Railroad Hospital of Tianshui City, died as a result of persecution.
   
5. Mr. Wang Shenggui, 35 years old, a Taoist of Yuquan Taoist Monastary of Tianshui City, died in prison.
