to midnight. I had only a few minutes to eat. If I could not finish the heavy
work guards abused me. Those determined practitioners were often fixed to a
metal window frame and deprived of drinking water, food, and sleep. If there was
not much work, practitioners had to attend meetings or watch TV programs which
were full of Party propaganda. Practitioner Ms. Qi Guiyu from Changyi City in Weifang was sentenced to two
years of forced labor in the autumn of 2005. Her home was ransacked several
times after the persecution began on July 20, 1999. The police once climbed over
her yard wall and confiscated all valuable possessions from her home. They often
beat her brutally until she lost consciousness. Sometime they hung her up and

policeman pushed her from behind, and two others stuck an electric baton into
her mouth, which damaged her teeth severely. They kept torturing her this way
until she was in a coma. 3. [Heilongjiang Province] A Practitioner Surnamed Yu from the Scientific
