Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Bai Shaohua from Beijing was tortured nearly to death. He had been sent home from the Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp in Hebei Province, and even though he had not yet recovered from the torture and could not walk on his own, agents from the Communist regime again arrested him on March 3, 2006. Ms. Li Xupeng and Mr. Ma Wanli, who went to visit him, and his elderly mother and five-year-old daughter Bai Zhenyu, were all arrested.
The whereabouts of Bai Shaohua are unknown at this time. There is also no information indicating whether or not his mother and daughter have been released.
Since the disturbing news of the Sujiatun Concentration Camp in Shenyang City was exposed to the world, the sufferings of Bai Shaohua, his elderly mother and young daughter, Li Xupeng, Ma Wanli and that of all the illegally detained Falun Gong practitioners are of even more concern. What kind of torture and persecution will they face? The CCP and its followers are capable of doing any disgraceful things!
Mr. Bai Shaohua tortured nearly to death
Bai Shaohua and his wife were both arrested during the CCP's mass arrest of Falun Gong practitioners in Beijing in the days leading up to the October 1, 2005 National Day. Just in Beijing's Haidian District alone, approximately 30 practitioners were arrested.
Almost half a year has passed since October 1, 2005. It was learned that some of the practitioners were incarcerated at the Qinghe Detention Center in Haidian District, some were sent to the Dispatch Division of the Tuanhe Forced Labor Camp in Beijing, and some were secretly sent to the Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp in Baoding City, Hebei Province.
Bai Shaohua has been on a hunger strike for over 100 days. He suffered from physical and mental trauma and was near death. He was carried back home on December 28, 2005. His wife Ji Lei is still detained in the Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp in Baoding City, Hebei Province. With him at death's door, his over 70-year-old mother and 5-year-old daughter can no longer depend on each other to get by. Refusing to give up her belief, his elderly mother is nearly blind as a result of the persecution. She was so worried that she wept, "I was expecting my son to come back. Now he is back, but a healthy person has been persecuted to such a state. They do not release my daughter-in-law. How can this family be called a family? How can this family lead a life?"
This broken family has now been damaged again. I want to ask all who participate in this persecution: Facing this broken family, facing Mr. Bai Shaohua who was tortured nearly to death: can you unashamedly declare that you did not persecute him?
In 2005, in order to rescue Bai Shaohua and other practitioners who were arrested along with him, I once called the case team at the Qinghe Detention Center in Beijing. The staff told me over the phone, "We are dealing with this case according to the law." When I asked him, "By practicing Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and being a good person, what law has been broken?" He became flustered and said, "If you are not clear about the law, don't ask me. Go consult the legal departments." I calmly told him, "I'm very clear that practicing Falun Gong does not violate any law of any country. If you know about the law, you should not participate in this persecution." His tone then turned soft, "When you see your friend in the future, you can ask him. I did not persecute him, I'm just doing my job."
"I did not persecute him. I'm just doing my job." "I did not persecute her, my family members also need to make a living." "I did not persecute you, I have no other choice."
During the bloody persecution in the past six years, different people kept saying such words. Actually this is not a surprise. Even the evil Jiang Zemin acts shamelessly. He is no longer the head of the nation but still, as a former leader of the nation, he vainly attempts to enjoy immunity to escape punishment for his crimes. By contrast, all the police officers attempt to claim that they did not detain, beat and persecute practitioners in person. The CCP and Jiang's criminal faction took the lead to do violence but do not have the courage to take responsibility. All of them want to find a scapegoat.
Even the so-called "doctors" in the Sujiatun Concentration Camp who transplant living practitioners' organs were infused with propaganda, "It is not a crime to remove the organs from living Falun Gong practitioners, it's just helping the CCP to 'cleanse'."
If you are indeed confused about the horrible end of those who participate in the persecution, let me tell you a true story. One of my relatives works in a local hospital. When I told her the truth of the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong, she said before I continued, "There is retribution. Those people in our hospital who participated in persecution during the Cultural Revolution have all experienced tragedies in their later years. Many of them have children suffering from cancer."
Indeed, in the last few years, innumerable officials who persecuted Falun Gong practitioners have received their due retribution. Hurting others is to hurt oneself. Even one's family and friends will be affected. Those who do not do violence with the evil and take a chance to treat practitioners kindly and protect them will have a very bright future.
Thinking about the thousands of practitioners who died as a result of persecution in the past six years, I wish to ask those who participated in the persecution, "Dare you say that you have no blood of practitioners on your hands? Aren't Tang Yubao who electric shocked practitioner Gao Rongrong and He Xuejian who raped practitioner Liu Jizhi, like you? If you can truly be responsible for yourself, please no longer do evil deeds with the CCP! Please do not take other's sufferings and your one tragic future as child's play."
Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Zhou Guilan is in her 60s and lives alone in 3-4 Building #4-301, Babaishang Block, Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province. At around 3:00 p.m. on February 26, 2006, policemen arrested her at home. They cut the electricity first, then stormed into her apartment when she came out to check the plugs, ransacking her place.
Ms. Zhou Guilan's daughter and son (both married) went to the police department every day for three days to request visitation with their mother, but they were refused. The fourth day, policemen gave Ms. Zhou Guilan's sweater and sweatpants to her children, saying that Ms. Zhou was in the detention center and not allowed to wear her own sweats. It was still very cold, and the police refused to allow them to send her warm clothes. They could only buy warm clothes from the detention center store. Ms .Zhou Guilan has been on hunger strike to protest the illegal detention.
Ms. Zhou Guilan's husband died young, and she lives a hard life. She disciplines herself according to the standards of a practitioner, always thinking about others first. She is sincere, kind, and tolerant and is considered a very well-received and good person. Such a good person was arrested and detained.
From February 28, 2006, until the beginning of the Two Congresses (Congress for People's Representatives and Congress for Political Consultation), the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) conducted another round of persecution against practitioners in the Yanbian area, including eight counties and cities such as Yanji, Tumen, Antu and Longjing. The situation in other areas is unknown due to the information blockade. This was part of a nationwide persecution against practitioners during the Two Party Congresses.
On March 7, officers from the Longjing City Police Department arrested practitioner Ms. Shang Shuxin from Longjin City when she helped her partially paralyzed husband on a stroll through the streets. Her elderly husband was left on the freezing streets for two days and could not take care of himself. When someone finally found him two days later, his legs were frozen stiff.
Until mid-March 2006, agents from Yanji City followed the plans of Xu Xiaofeng and Xiao Bin, heads of the National Security Group, to start a large-scale arrest after obtaining information on many practitioners by following them and waiting outside their homes to find out their itinerary. Many practitioners have been arrested, including Liu Zhenxi, Sun Zelin, Dong Guizhi, An Yingji, and Song Guoru from Yanji City; Wen Yinjia from Wangqing County; and Huang Wenxue and Wang Dianrong from Antu County. Practitioners in other counties and cities have apparently also been arrested. Many material production sites have been destroyed, and computers, printers, food and many pieces of equipment taken. Direct and indirect losses are hard to estimate. Several practitioners have disappeared and many practitioners left home to live in exile.
Yanji City National Security agents followed practitioners Huang Wenxue and Wang Dianrong to Antu County and arrested them after they talked to practitioners Dong Guizhi, Wen Yinjia, and Liu Zhenxi inside Yanbian National Trade Building. Wang Dianrong was arrested on February 28 and Huang Wenxue was arrested on March 1.
During the Party Congresses, police officers from Yanji City, Longjing City, Helong City, and Tumen City harassed practitioners at home. Agents from the Longjiang City Police Department and the Chaoyangchuan Town Police Station in Longjiang City harassed practitioners in different towns and counties. They arrested three practitioners from Qinlao Village. A young practitioner, Tian Xingang, from Longjing City was arrested from home, and another Korean Chinese practitioner from Longjing City was arrested. Several practitioners from Tumen City were arrested.
Right now, practitioners Sun Zelin, Dong Guizhi, Song Guoru, Wen
Yinjia from
Wangqing County, Huang Wenxue, Wang Dianrong, and three women
practitioners are
being held at the Yanji City Detention Center. Many practitioners,
including An
Qingji, are being held in the Tumen Detention Center. Three
practitioners,
including Tian Xingang, from Longjing County and Shang Shuxin are held
at the
Longjing City Detention Center. Persecution is also taking place in
other areas
but we are unable to verify it at present.
Falun Gong Practitioner Mr. Wang Zhige from Fangzheng County, Heilongjiang Province was illegally sentenced and imprisoned in Hulan Jail, Heilongjiang Province. There he was tortured by the prison guards and common criminals. In Fangzheng County Jail, the section chief of National Security, Chou Yongsheng, conspired with police officers Dong Yansong, Weng Hongjun and others to persecute Mr. Wang Zhige, causing loss of sight in his right eye.
On March 27, 2005, the chief of Fangzheng County National Security Section, Chou Yongsheng, led police to kidnap Mr. Wang. They confiscated a desktop computer, a notebook computer, a printer, and other materials from his home.
In the office of the National Security team, Mr. Wang was interrogated and tortured for twenty-four hours. He was beaten on the face by policeman Weng Xuebing in front of the bureau chief. On March 28, he was thrown into jail. On April 4, Mr. Wang started to fast to protest the persecution. On April 8, he was brutally force-fed by police, which lasted around 3 hours. This caused his oral cavity to become infected. The food went into his trachea, causing him to suffocate and go into shock. After several days the guards carried out a second force-feeding.
On April 13, Mr. Wang's right eye suddenly could not see things clearly and he soon lost sight. He still cannot see out of his right eye, and the fingers on his right hand are numb. The jail's political instructor, Dong Yansong, slapped Mr. Wang in the face. The guards kept force-feeding him until May 7 when he stopped fasting.
On June 22, 2005, police from Fangzheng County transferred Mr. Wang to Hulan Jail. At the guard's bidding, the chief of the training team, Li Maojin (the head of the criminals) and other criminals pushed Mr. Wang to the ground and pulled his arms in order to force him to give up his belief in Falun Gong. Guard Xu Ruye threatened him saying: "If you do not "transform," you will not be allowed to have visitors, write letters or make calls."
Mr. Wang was coerced to write the "Four Statements" to give up his belief. However, he soon realized his mistake. On September 5, he and four other Falun Gong practitioners submitted solemn declarations to the jail in written form, declaring the four statements they wrote earlier null and void. Later on, the guards became angry out of shame. They forced Mr. Wang to stand from 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. every day for 30 days. Because Mr. Wang firmly believed in Falun Gong, the guards asked the head of the criminals, Li Maojin, to look for a 3 centimeter-wide stool and force Mr. Wang to sit on it for physical punishment. In the afternoon, Li Jikai and Zheng Shujun beat Mr. Wang to make his eyes red. In the evening, they also forced him to stand facing a wall all night to indoctrinate him. Mr. Wang did not listen to them.
For the next several days, the guards threatened to kill him. One time, when they were brutally beating him, Mr. Wang loudly shouted, "Falun Dafa is good. Li Jikai beats me." Later on, a criminal head by the name of Wang Dengming beat Mr. Wang on the chest. Mr. Wang loudly shouted as before: "Falun Dafa is good." That evening, Mr. Wang found the vice-chief of the training team, Wang Lianyun, and condemned him for inciting the criminal inmates to beat Falun Gong practitioners mercilessly. Later on, they controlled themselves to some extent.
Hulan Jail is composed of a training team and fifteen groups. The training team is the key element in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners in the jail. After Falun Gong practitioners are illegally arrested, they are first put into the training team to be persecuted. They are not allowed to talk among themselves. Every Falun Gong practitioner is monitored by two to four prisoners. The methods of persecution include: holding meetings of "exposure and criticism," sleep deprivation, beating, striking the arms and legs, tying with ropes, being confined in a solitary compartment, standing for long periods of time, and many other cruel methods. After Falun Gong practitioners are transferred from the training team to other groups, they are monitored.

Since October 2005, officials from 610 Offices of various cities in Jiangsu Province gathered in the Nanjing Women's Prison, starting another round of "transformation" for the Falun Gong practitioners detained there.
The following are a few of the cases.
Practitioner Ms. Song Weijuan, from Nantong City, has been sentenced to 10 and a half years in Nanjing Women's Prison. In the second half of 2005, the National Security Bureau investigated Ms. Song again and threatened to increase her prison term. Over a long period of slave labor and mental abuse, her health became extremely poor. Still, she was not allowed to take a rest or receive medical treatment.
Ms. Zhang Yuhua, a resident of Nanjing, was incarcerated in the prison.
Ms. Zhang Xiurong from Xuzhou, has been sentenced to a 5-year prison term. She is very determined in her belief in Falun Gong.
Ms. Li Jinan from Kunshan City, is scheduled to be released on May 9, 2006. However, the 610 Office may scheme to not let her go home after she is released. We sincerely hope everyone will send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate all elements of the old forces and support our fellow practitioners. In addition to that, we will contact Ms. Li's family members and encourage them to take Ms. Li back home with firm determination.
Practitioners of Jiangsu Province, please send powerful righteous
thoughts
together, eliminating all arrangements by the old forces and exposing
all the
evil acts with various methods.
