  • The Long Term Persecution of Shenyang Practitioner Ms. Dong Jingya by Staff at Masanjia Forced Labor Camp

    Falun Gong practitioners Ms. Dong Jingya and Mr. Yan Hongwei from Shenyang City were illegally arrested. Ms. Dong was sent to Masanjia Forced Labor Camp, and Mr. Yan was sent to a brainwashing center in Luotaishanzhuang in Fushun City. They are in an extremely dangerous situation. Ms. Dong Jingya has been on a hunger strike for more than six months. She is being force-fed repeatedly.

    The details of Ms. Dong Jingya and Mr. Yan Hongwei's circumstances follow.

    Ms. Dong Jingya, 33 years old, is a practitioner from the Heping District of Shenyang City. She was engaged in architectural design work at the Liaoning Province Construction Design Institute. In 1997, she started to practice Falun Gong and benefited a great deal, both in body and mind. She worked diligently and was dedicated to her profession. After the persecution of Falun Gong began, Ms. Dong was forced to remain homeless for four years to avoid persecution.

    On March 6, 2005, she was arrested by the Shenyang Municipal National Security Team and was imprisoned illegally in the Masanjia 2nd Women's Forced Labor Camp. Ms. Dong went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution. She developed such symptoms as "reverse-flow" stomach, blurry vision, kidney failure, and a shortage of blood in her cardiac muscle. When she turned off a tape recorder that was slandering Falun Gong, in July 2005 Masanjia guards handcuffed her to a metal railing at the end of a bed. She has been on a huger strike for more than six months in the First Division of Masanjia Forced Labor Camp. She has not been allowed to see anyone and is being continually force-fed. On October 13, someone who was concerned about her called the labor camp (Tel: 86-24-89210406) asking to visit her. A police guard said, "No one is allowed to see her. She refuses to wear the prison uniform and she still shouts ['Falun Dafa is good'] and does the exercises."

    Mr. Yan Hongwei, 35 years old, is a practitioner from the Dadong District of Shenyang City. He worked at the Huachenjinbei Passenger Car Company in Shenyang City. After he started to practice Falun Gong, he benefited greatly both in body and mind. Because he is not only upright and kind but also works diligently, he is generally acknowledged to be a good man by his colleagues and neighbors. At the end of 2000, Mr. Yan was sentenced to three years in a forced labor camp. He suffered severe torture and psychological abuse when he was imprisoned at Shenyang City's Zhangshi Forced Labor Camp. Furthermore, he was illegally detained beyond his prison term.

    His company manager sent Mr. Yan Hongwei to a brainwashing center in Luotaishanzhuang in Fushun City on September 20, 2005, after he finished work. He continues to be persecuted. He has been on a hunger strike to protest the persecution. Someone who was concerned about him called the brainwashing class asking about his conditions on October 28. Officer Wu Wei said, "If he will not be "transformed," it is hard to determine when he will go home."

    Fan Yongcheng and His Wife from Jinchang, Gansu Province, Were Persecuted and Are Now Apart

    Fan Yongcheng and his wife Lei Zhanxiang lived in the Jinchuan District of Jinchang City, Gansu Province, and started practicing Falun Gong in 1997. Since July 20, 1999, they have been persecuted again and again because they have persisted in practicing Falun Gong. Mr. Fan was illegally sentenced to 12 years in prison and Ms. Lei has been homeless for the last five years.

    Before July 20, 1999, the old couple's chronic and stubborn diseases were eliminated by practicing Falun Gong. Their children saw that their parents obtained good health and domestic harmony through the practice, and the whole family lived in peace and harmony.

    Fan Yongcheng

    Lei Zhanxiang

    Since July 20, 1999, their lives have been destroyed.

    In January 2000, the couple went to Beijing to appeal to the authorities on behalf of Falun Gong. After returning home, they were detained. In the detention center, Mr. Fan couldn't eat. He vomited whatever he ate. Fifteen days later, when he had lost the ability to walk, he was released and sent home supported by two people.

    One day in September 2000, Mr. Fan came across CCP Committee Secretary Qi Bin and two or three people from the Security Section of the Life Service Company. They deceived Mr. Fan, saying, "We have something to ask you. Let's take a ride in the car. You can return as soon as we have questioned you." They drove him directly to the Drug Rehabilitation Center. Mr. Fan was locked up for about 20 days for no reason.

    Xu Fuyou (now Head of the Jinchang City Detention Center) and a person surnamed Xie abducted Ms. Lei and locked her up in the Jinchang City Detention Center for distributing truth-clarifying materials in Yongchang. Ms. Lei was set free 40 days later. One month later, Xu Fuyou and Xie once again broke into Ms. Lei's home, told her to bring her suitcase, and sent her directly to the detention center. Later she was transferred to the Jinchang City Drug Rehabilitation Center, where she was sentenced to one year of forced labor. Since she didn't pass the physical examination, she was sent back to the drug rehabilitation center. More than one month later, she was released because of her bad health.

    One month later, as Ms. Lei was on her way to take a useless copy machine to a suburban school, she ran into Xie, who had been following her. When Xie found that she was carrying a copy machine, he immediately called Xu Fuyou. They again ransacked her home and detained her in the Lanzhoulu Police Station for one day. In the evening, they sent her to the Jinchang City Drug Rehabilitation Center. Hearing this news, Liu Chengye, Meng Jiaxian, and Li Xinhua from the Public Security Bureau, the TV station, and the Jinchuan Police Department, and Cai Xuexiao, Secretary of the Political Judiciary Committee of Jinchang District, and others were overjoyed. They thought that they had found a truth clarifying material production source and could take credit and get the reward. The TV station incessantly took shots of the scene. Meng Jiaxian asked Ms. Lei why she practiced Falun Gong. Ms. Lei answered, "Falun Dafa is good so I want to practice." Meng said, "Just based on your words, we should lock you up [in the Jinchang City Drug Rehabilitation Center]." After being sent to the Drug Rehabilitation center, Ms. Lei went on a hunger strike for one week and was later set free.

    In order to avoid harassment from police officers, the old couple hence started their homeless life. On September 9, the Yongchang Court illegally sentenced Mr. Fan to 12 years in prison. After being locked up for 100 days in the Dashaping Jail, Lanzhou City, he was transferred to the Wuwei Youth Discipline Center. He is currently locked up in the No. 8 Group. His wife Ms. Lei is still homeless.

    Ms. Liu Dan, 29, Brutally Tortured by the Jixi City Police for Five Days and Four Nights

     Ms. Liu Dan is a 29-year-old Falun Gong practitioner from Jixi City, Heilongjiang Province. In June 2002, Ms. Liu was forced to leave home due to the vicious persecution. She was arrested at a fellow practitioner's home on October 24, 2005. While detained at the Jixi City Police Department, Ms. Liu was brutally tortured and abused for five days and four nights. Her body became very weak as a result. Ms. Liu is still currently under detention at the Second Detention Center of Jixi City.

    On October 24, 2005, Ms. Liu Dan and Ms. Chen Lichun (also a practitioner) were visiting Ms. Liu Shulan, a practitioner from the Technological Division, Jixi City Coal Machinery Factory, when policemen Jiao Yang, Zhang Wei, Wang Weijun, and Chen (first name unknown) from the Jixi City State Security Group and Jiguan District Police Department raided Ms. Liu Shulan's home and illegally arrested them. Ms. Liu Dan and Ms. Chen Lichun were taken to the Jiguan District Police Department for interrogation. The police took 8,000 yuan in cash, a certificate of deposit for 10,000 yuan, a bank card with over 10,000 yuan of credit, and a cell phone worth 1,950 yuan from Ms. Liu Shulan's home. They also took more than 700 yuan in cash and an MP3 player worth 550 yuan from Ms. Liu Dan.

    Ms. Liu Dan refused to cooperate with the illegal interrogation. As punishment, policeman Wang Weijun handcuffed Ms. Liu's arms behind her back and forced her to stand facing the wall for long periods of time. He also yelled profanities at her. That night, the police handcuffed Ms. Liu's wrists and chained them above her head to the metal door. Her ankles were tied together. They also forced her upper body to bend down. The position was extremely painful. Then Wang tried to force Ms. Liu Dan to stamp her fingerprint on a guarantee statement. Ms. Liu refused to cooperate. Wang then tried to force Ms. Liu to crawl under a stool, which she also refused to do. Wang then tripped Liu Dan, causing her to fall down. Her head hit the floor very hard. Wang tied Ms. Liu's legs together and forced her to bend over with her head next to her legs. He then put a stool on Ms. Liu's back and kept her in this position under the stool for an entire morning.

    Policeman Zhang Wei from the Jiguan District Police Department hit Liu Dan's temples several times when Ms. Liu was not guarding herself. Zhang wore heavy shoes and kicked Ms. Liu's face and body. On the afternoon of October 25, Zhang affixed a picture of the founder of Falun Gong to the underside of Liu Dan's shoe using a rubber band. Liu Dan, who has benefited deeply from practicing Falun Gong and did not want to disgrace the Teacher, took the picture off when Zhang was not paying attention, and hid it behind her back. When Zhang saw that the picture was gone, he used it as an excuse to have a female police officer search Ms. Liu. When the police officer didn't find the picture, Zhang wanted to do the search himself. Ms. Liu refused to allow him to search her, and Zhang tore off two buttons from her jacket. Zhang also threatened to cover the floor with Falun Gong books, only leaving space for Ms. Liu's two feet (so that she would have to step on Falun Gong books), in order to disgrace Falun Gong. Liu Dan's family happened to have sent someone to visit Ms. Liu, which interrupted Zhang's evil plan.

    On the same evening, when policeman Jiao Yang heard what had happened, he wanted to further humiliate Ms. Liu. He tore open Liu Dan's shirt in front of several other policemen and pinched her stomach with great force. He tried to force her to tell him where she had hidden the picture. Policeman Wang Weijun was helping Jiao Yang. Wang kicked Ms. Liu to the ground, separated her legs, and pushed her face to the ground to beat her. They didn't stop until Jiao Yang found the picture behind Ms. Liu's back.

    On the afternoon of October 26, policeman Liu Jiaxue from the Jixi City Police Department asked Liu Dan if she knew Xing Guirong and Xu Chenghua. Ms. Liu Dan refused to answer. Liu Jiaxue, who has had martial arts training, pinched and pressed Liu Dan's acupuncture point near the elbow many times, causing severe physical pain and made her heart beat faster. Liu Dan almost fainted. She said loudly, "Falun Dafa is great!"

    A man in his 20s who was with Liu Xuejia used a leather belt to whip Liu Dan's hands. She was beaten to the ground. They then pulled her up by her hair. They forced her to bend down with her head against the wall. At this point, Liu Dan was extremely weak and could not stand up anymore. She fell on the ground several times. The police then pulled her by the hair and used the leather belt to beat her all over her body.

    Now Liu Dan has dark bruises all over her body, including her face and hands. She also lost a lot of hair from the beating and pulling.

    By the evening of October 26, after two days of continuous torture, Liu Dan was extremely weak. Yet policeman Wang Weijun did not allow her to sleep. He handcuffed her to the radiator with her hands behind her back, until 4 a.m. the next morning.

    After the severe beating, Ms. Liu felt sick whenever she saw food. Each day, she only drank a little water. On October 27, a driver surnamed Xie from the local police station bought a drink called "Ji Huo" and tried to force Ms. Liu to drink it. Liu Dan refused by closing her mouth. The drink spilled on Ms. Liu's clothes. Later, they brought milk and tried to force it down Ms. Liu's throat by holding her nose closed. The milk also spilled on Ms. Liu's clothes. They gave up after several tries.

    Among the people who beat Liu Dan, Liu Jiaxue and the man with him were the most vicious and cruel. The other four policemen, including Jiao Yang, not only actively participated in the persecution of Falun Gong, but also took a leading role. They used violence to torture Liu Dan, a petite woman. However, Liu Dan maintained her righteous faith in Falun Gong and refused to cooperate with the police's unreasonable requests and illegal interrogation.

    Although Liu Dan was tortured for five days and four nights at the Jixi City Police Department, she didn't cooperate with the evil police and never told them her name and address. To justify her detention, the police lied and said that Ms. Liu was under an arrest warrant from the Ministry of Public Security. Although Liu Dan didn't tell the police anything, she was detained at the Second Detention Center of Jixi City. She is now very weak as a result of the severe abuse.

    In addition, practitioners Ms. Liu Shulan and Ms. Chen Lichun have been on a hunger strike to protest their illegal detention at the Second Detention Center of Jixi City. The details of their treatment are still under investigation. Ms. Zhao Chunying, a practitioner from Jixi City Hengshan District, was sent to the Second Detention Center of Jixi City on April 17, 2003 and died within one month from torture. Her body was full of wounds and was shocking to see.

    We urge all kind-hearted people to pay close attention to this matter, stop the persecution of Liu Dan and rescue her so she can return home.

Mr. He has since been held at the Yingkou City Detention Center. The police did not have any evidence on his wife, so they released her after the family paid 3,000 yuan as a "security deposit." At the beginning of October, Mr. He was again sentenced to two years of forced labor, to be served outside of prison. The Legal System Section of the Political & Judiciary Committee of Yingkou City passed the sentence. The family was fined 2,000 yuan but was not given a receipt.

    Back on April 14, 2004, Mr. He's home was also ransacked and police found some truth-clarifying materials. Mr. He was taken to the Yingkou City Detention Center. His employer, the Yingkou City Telecommunication Bureau, later bailed him out. Sun Yongsheng was the guarantor who posted bail for him for one year. On May 4, 2005, the bail was due.

    This year the police ransacked Mr. He's home and found a computer (the 610 Office surveillance system didn't find anything sensitive), two MP3 players, a tape recorder, two exercise tapes, six inkjet copiers, 25 blank discs, a copy of Zhuan Falun, four copies of Teacher's new articles, a disc, a booklet entitled "Wishes," and a small mat. According to internal information, the items found in Mr. He Wei's home were not enough to sentence him. Nevertheless, Wang Yousan, the 610 Office city administrator requested that these items be added to the list of things they had found last year. On August 9, personnel from Laobian District Procurator's Office held a preliminary hearing and ruled there was not enough evidence to sentence Mr. He to a prison term, and that it was not reasonable to add last year's items to the evidence list, so they returned the case to the Laobian District Police Station. Around October 10, personnel from the police station again sent the case to the Procurator's Office. Now the case has been sent to the Laobian District Court. The court will purportedly ask the Yingkou Court for advice on whether or not they should sentence Mr. He Wei and further ask for Wang Yousan's decision on that issue.
