Finding out about the tragedy of Falun Gong practitioners' organs being harvested in secret concentration camps by the Chinese Communist Party, I recalled an episode that I personally experienced. I hope that reporting this can help find missing practitioners.
My name is Fuyun. I'm originally from Hunan Province. I was in my aunt's house looking for a job in October 2000. My aunt was a practitioner. One day a dozen policemen suddenly appeared in her house and ransacked it. They suspected that I had helped my aunt mail Falun Gong materials, so they arrested and jailed me claiming that I did not have an identification card or a temporary lodging card.
After keeping me in jail me for a month and still not finding any evidence, they took me and the other similarly accused inmates to the Homeless Transfer Station in the Shahe District in Guangzhou.
In the jail, I accidentally discovered a very small room at the far end of the second story of the transfer station building. Its iron door was tightly locked and had a little square hole in the middle. The room was barely big enough for a small bed. The toilet was right next to it. Inside the room were six or seven people ranging from a nine-year-old boy to a woman in her late 50s. It was late November. I had a light sweater on, but they were all dressed in summer short sleeves.
From our conversations, I learned that they were all Falun Gong practitioners who had been sent to Guangzhou in May because they had refused to reveal their names and addresses. The older lady was from Qingdao City. They were handled by the 610 Office and the police, and not by the Homeless Transfer Station. They would not reveal their names and addresses despite all the sufferings they had endured, because they did not want to involve their families, companies, or neighborhood associations.
There were even more people in the little room originally, about 20. To force them to reveal their names and addresses, they had been prevented from taking showers, washing their faces or hair, brushing their teeth, or using water for three months. They had accumulated a thick scum under their hair. They were not allowed to take a single step out of the room. Every meal was delivered through the little hole.
I wanted to cry every time I saw them. Later on they were sent somewhere else, and no one knows where they are now.
I hope they are safe.
On April 27, 2006, an elderly lady from Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province came to the Gongnong District Police Department in Hegang City for the eighth time. She requested to see her daughter Yin Haizhu, who is illegally detained and whose life is in peril. Ji Jianjun and a person surnamed Yuan, the two officials who are in charge of the case, gave the lady the run-around, telling her to go to see their supervisor. When the lady found police chief He Qingyan, he told her that deputy chief Dong was in charge of the case. But when she found Dong, Dong was very rude and refused to let her see her daughter.
The elderly lady said that her daughter has been on a hunger strike for two months and her life is in great danger, and the police department officials will be held responsible if something bad happens to her daughter. Dong said that she would not die.
Since Falun Gong practitioner Yin Haizhu was arrested on February 27, 2006 by agents from the Gongnong District Police Department in Hegang City, she has been on a hunger strike in the Second Detention Center in Hegang City, to resist the persecution. In the beginning of April 2006, she was transferred to the Hegang First Detention Center. There is information that Yin Haizhu is already skeleton-thin. As Ms. Yin's life was in great danger, her family members went to Hegang City many times to demand her release, but agents at the Hegang Police Department refused to let her family members see her. Even so, the CCP regime officials still plan to fabricate charges against her to give her an illegal sentence.
This time Ms. Yin's mother insisted on seeing her daughter. Ji Jianjun let her go to the First Detention Center to wait, and he also demanded her to convince Yin Haizhu to "confess her crimes". The elderly lady waited in the detention center for over two hours, but she was not allowed to see her daughter. So she had no choice but to take over one hour going back to the Gongnong Police Department. Ji Jianjun said, "As the city officials have given no approval, we have no other ways. You can go to the city police department to see Ma Baotai."
The lady explained her request at the city police department. The person on duty said that administrator Ma Baotai was in his office in the Nanshan District Police Department and not in the city police department. So she went to Nanshan Police Department, but the persons there told her that Ma Baotai had already been transferred to the city police department over two years ago. So she went back to the city police department again. A kind-hearted employee there told her in a low voice, "Don't believe their lies. It is of no use, no matter how hard you try. There are no laws regarding Falun Gong cases."
In this way, the almost 70-year-old mother, faced with police deception and lies, traveled between four places for over a hundred miles in one day. She wasted nearly ten hours without being able to see her daughter. All she got were two made-up documents showing that her daughter had been arrested and detained on criminal charges.
It has been learned that authorities have been trying to fabricate some infractions to cite Yin Haizhu with "Obstructing Justice with an Evil Cult Practice." Her case documents have already been sent to the Gongnong District Procuratorate in Hegang City by now.
Yin Haizhu is still on a hunger strike.
The Gongnong Police Department assistant head has already received retribution. In March 2006 he was diagnosed with diabetes. He is in the hospital now. His responsibilities were transferred to associate chief Dong.
The persecution methods used in Shanxi Women's Forced Labor Camp are exceptionally brutal and outrageous. The camp orders three or four drug addicts to closely monitor and ruthlessly torture each practitioner every day. Practitioners have endured a great deal both physically and emotionally. They have been forced to work excessive hours and are often severely tortured.
(1)
Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Yan Huiqing, from Xi'an City, was cruelly tortured by the Second Group. She went on a hunger strike to protest. The wardens ordered inmates to forcibly pry her mouth open with a chisel and push food down her throat with a spoon. Several of Ms. Huiqing's teeth were knocked out and her mouth filled with blood. The wardens and the inmates later tortured Ms. Huiqing to death, but inmates were told to testify that she had died of a sudden disease. They lied, claiming that they had fed Ms. Yan Huiqing with good food when she was sick, but she had bit their hands, even breaking several spoons. They not only killed her, but also accused her of wrongdoing.
The Second Group uses several torture methods. Practitioner Ms. Gao Li, 25, was from Yan'an City. Her vertebrae were so damaged from the severe beatings that she frequently suffered convulsions. Practitioners, Ms. Jie Shenru from Zhouzhi County, and Ms. Yang Li from Xi'an City, were nearly driven insane by tormentors from the Second Group.
Wardens often play video tapes and television programs that defame Falun Gong and bring collaborators to talk to the practitioners in attempts to brainwash them. When practitioners refused to cooperate, the wardens beat them with clubs, deprived them of sleep, forced them to stand up facing a wall for an extended period, put straight jackets on them, tied them up with ropes, handcuffed them behind their backs, and much more. They would handcuff practitioners to iron gates, windows, corridors, and the upper bunks. Sometimes they would handcuff practitioners' four limbs spread-eagle. They call it a "dead person's bed," and use the "five horses splitting a body" method to pull the limbs outwards. Practitioner Ms. Wei Xinrong from Hanzhong City was tortured this way. If a practitioner makes any sound while being tortured, their mouth is taped. Practitioners Ms. Lan Lan, (then 38 years old), and Ms. Zhao Pengli, (then over 50) from Xi'an City, almost suffocated to death due to this torture method.

On a cold winter night, the wardens found that practitioner Ms. Li Cuifang was meditating. They ordered inmates to pour a bucket of cold water over her head. Then they threw her blanket on the floor, pouring cold water on it and stepped on it with their dirty shoes. The room had two to three inches of water on the floor afterwards. Practitioner Ms. Wang Xiuwen from Baoji City used a cloth and her wash basin to collect all of the water and poured it out. She continued doing this until the entire floor was dry. Ms. Wang Xiuwen was very fair to everyone, and some of the inmates actually referred to her as "mother." Angered by this, the wardens spread rumors that her family had a history of mental illness.
Practitioner Ms. Xu Mingxia from Baoji City was often handcuffed outside an iron gate by the wardens. She was not allowed to sleep, wash her face or brush her teeth. She was once handcuffed there for dozens of days. Only with her firm belief in Falun Gong and strong endurance was she able to survive.

On the morning of June 21, 2001, the forced labor camp made an intense effort to "transform" several firm practitioners. After telling practitioners to go to the playground, the wardens searched their clothes and bedding. When the practitioners returned, they found out that Teacher's articles and Hong Yin had been taken by the wardens. The practitioners went out to ask the wardens for their belongings. Not only did the wardens refuse to return the articles; they also physically and verbally abused them. Practitioners gathered at the corridor and shouted loudly in unison, "Return our Teacher's articles." They shouted this several times, and then started shouting "Falun Dafa Hao! (Falun Dafa Is Good!) Our great Teacher is good! Persecuting Falun Dafa is the biggest injustice!" Their loud and clear voices circled around the sky of the forced labor camp.
The forced labor camp director at the time, Zhang Zhuoqing, and political instructor Yang, called in six or seven male wardens. The twenty eight Falun Gong practitioners held on to each other, but the male wardens barbarically beat all 28 female practitioners down to the floor, and then dragged them out one by one so that they could be tortured individually. Practitioner Ms. Wu Daqiong (then 25 years old) from Hanyin County was beaten unconscious. But the wardens did not leave her alone. They dragged her by the hair and smashed her head against a wall.
Practitioner Ms. Luo Changyun from Ankang City was beaten so severely, and her forehead swelled so much, that her eyes swelled to the size of an egg.
Practitioner Ms. Wang Xiuwen from Baoji City had several two to three inch long cuts on her head. The wardens kicked and stepped on practitioner Ms. Mei Hongying (then 64 years old) until her body was covered with wounds. Director Zhang Zhuoqing supervised the entire episode.
Suddenly, a warning blast of thunder began crashing through the sky. It seemed as though it was going to crush the roof of the forced labor camp. Lightening lit the rooms with its multi-color shining light. Director Zhang Zhuoqing and the other wardens were so frightened that they temporarily stopped the brutal torture. They handcuffed the Falun Gong practitioners and put them in solitary confinement.
(4)
By the end of 2001, the camp invited some so-called "famous experts" to give lectures against Falun Gong. Practitioner Ms. Zhao Jiabi (then 63 years old) from Xi'an City rejected to listen. The inmates and wardens choked her. Another practitioner shouted, "Leave her alone!" but she was beaten as well. Practitioner Ms. Zhao Jiabi was handcuffed onto an iron gate, beaten, and frozen for nineteen days. The severe beatings left her eyes congested with blood and her arms and legs back and blue. When Ms. Zhao Jiabi confronted the wardens, they said brazenly, "Somebody beat you? Why didn't I see it?"
(5)
The Second Group of Shaanxi Province Women's Forced Labor Camp bought a lot of produce from outside. The wardens ordered practitioners and inmates to pick the good ones out and package them into marketable vegetables. The inmates usually stole a lot of produce and shared it with the wardens for a bribe.
Practitioners asked the warden leader, "When we sit down to meditate at night, we do not disturb anybody, and you torture us.
(6)
By the end of 2001, Shaanxi Province Women's Forced Labor Camp sent wardens to the evil Masanjia Forced Labor Camp in Liaoning Province so that the wardens could improve their skills in torturing Falun Gong practitioners. At the end of March, 2002, Shaanxi Province Women's Forced Labor Camp received eight hundred thousand yuan from Jiang Zemin, the chief of the Chinese Communist Party. The newly appointed Political Instructor, Zhao Xiaoyang, carried out intense efforts to "transform" practitioners. Zhao Xiaoyang used many sinister methods. The wardens gathered practitioners together to watch video tapes defaming Falun Gong, but this was resisted by the practitioners. Zhao Xiaoyang then asked inmates to torture the practitioners. Ten minutes later, however, the inmates in that room started fighting amongst themselves, rather than beating practitioners. They broke a mirror into pieces and one inmate's hand required several stitches. The warden leader said to the inmates angrily, "We asked you to beat those practitioners, but you fight among yourselves! Each of your terms will be extended for 20 more days."
Practitioner Ms. Li Cuifang was cruelly tortured by Political Instructor Zhao Xiaoyang. Because she refused to watch the video tape, Zhao Xiaoyang used a club to beat her savagely. When other Falun Gong practitioners tried to stop him, Zhao Xiaoyang grabbed Ms. Li Cuifang's hair to drag her out of the room, and put her in a secluded room for more torture. He ordered several inmates and wardens to beat her with their hands, feet, planks, and clubs, until she lost consciousness.
Zhao Xiaoyang also sought revenge for personal spite. An unmarried Falun Gong practitioner from Yan'an City said that when she got out of the forced labor camp she would sue Zhao Xiaoyang for injuring and crippling so many Falun Gong practitioners. Zhao Xiaoyang used a lot of dirty words to slander this Yan'an practitioner in public. She questioned Zhao Xiaoyang, "Why do you injure and disable so many Falun Gong practitioners?" Zhao Xiaoyang said, "I have instructions from the top. I am not responsible for the injury, disablement, or death of Falun Gong practitioners." She challenged him, "Then do you dare to post your instructions on the street for the public?" Zhao Xiaoyang said, "You know what? This is called a national secret. There are rules about what can and cannot be posted."

In November and December of 2003, Shaanxi Province Women's Forced Labor Camp started the so-called "war against the perseverant" for those practitioners who refused to be "transformed." Falun Gong practitioners Ms. Wei Xinrong from Mian County and Ms. Yu Qinzhen from Zhouzhi County of Hanzhong City were savagely tortured. Directly participating in this persecution were wardens Li Zhen, Fei Heng, Wang Li, Hu Xiaoting, and Yuan Yuan, all from the Education Group. They ordered the most sinister inmates, Li Ping, Huang Qing, and Zhang Xuefang, to lock the practitioners in the South Building. They did not allow the practitioners to sleep. They threw their bedding out and took the bed boards out. They even did not allow the practitioners to use the bathroom for more than a month, saying that the practitioners should solve the toilet problem themselves. Practitioners had only thin clothes in the cold winter. They were forced to urinate in their pants. They were not allowed to wash and change their clothes, so practitioners stopped eating and drinking. But the evildoers held practitioners down to the ground, stepping on their bodies and prying their mouths open to force-feed them. The evildoers became very tired after the vicious torture and fell asleep. Practitioner Ms. Wei Xinrong used that opportunity to urinate in her own wash basin. But Li Ping woke up and saw what she was doing. She poured all the urine from the wash basin onto Ms. Wei Xinrong's pants. The evildoers drew a circle in the room, and ordered all practitioners to stay within the line 24 hours a day. Practitioners were not allowed to move, otherwise, they would be beaten. Meanwhile, they played video tapes that defamed Falun Gong at high volume every day.
The wardens instructed inmate Yang Hongge to put nerve-damaging drugs into practitioner Ms. Yu Qinzhen's food for several months. After she was released from the forced labor camp, Ms. Yu Qinzhen was forced to pay the cost of the drugs. On several occasions, wardens Zhang Zhuoqing, Liu Sijia, Bai Xiao and Wang Yajuan forcibly took Ms. Wei Xinrong to a mental hospital to inject some unknown substances into her body. As a result, Ms. Wei Xinrong was getting weaker and weaker. She was extremely thin, but her stomach was as big as a drum. She developed TB in both the abdominal and the chest cavities in September of 2004. When her life was in critical condition, the wardens were afraid of being liable for her death, and informed her family to take her out immediately.

Practitioner Ms. Liu Jin (a foreign language editor in a university), went on a hunger strike to resist the persecution. The wardens put her in solitary confinement and violently force-fed her for a long period. Four or five male wardens frequently dragged her out to an unknown place and assaulted her physically. It was so cruel that they did not even let the inmates who were supposed to monitor her daily know about it. They would drag her back to the solitary compartment after the torture. The wardens also ordered Zhang Xuefang to put excrement into Ms. Liu Jin's mouth.
From August 2004 to the end of that year, the evil forced labor camp started another round of cruel torture against practitioners who refused to be "transformed." The wardens put the practitioners in separate rooms and used inmates to monitor them 24-hours a day. The frequent torture methods included sleep deprivation and bathroom breaks, washing, and teeth-brushing - all while defamatory video tapes were playing day and night. When practitioner Ms. Fan Shuilian refused to write the so-called guarantee statement, Warden Li Zhen used her leather boots to kick Ms. Fan fiercely and mercilessly. Ms. Fan Shuilian's legs swelled and turned black and blue. Her head was left with several bald spots where the hair was torn out.
Practitioner Ms. Zhou Yating was getting extremely frail after the long period of persecution - including sixteen to seventeen hours of forced labor work every day - but the wardens still would not leave her alone. Wardens Li Zhen and Bai Xiao, and inmate Zhang Xuefang, verbally and physically abused Ms. Zhou Yating every day. Ms. Zhou Yating did not cooperate with the torture. When Ms. Zhou Yating squatted down to rest, Warden Bai Xiao picked her up by grabbing her hair, and then threw her back down. Her head smashed directly on the ground and she lost consciousness. Later, Ms. Zhou Yating said that she would have lost her life had Master not protected her at that time. She was often beaten black and blue by the evildoers. Once when she refused to wear the forced labor camp logo, Warden Fei Heng beat her with a club. Her muscles became swollen and turned black and purple. It took a long time for her to recover.
Over the past several years, the crimes of persecution against
practitioners
by the Chinese Communist Party in Shaanxi Province Women's Forced Labor
Camp are
countless. What I have written is only a small portion of them.
Participating in
the persecution are the wardens, drug addicts, and other inmates. But
behind the
scenes, it's the evil 610 Office
within the CCP that gives the
directions and orders.
I am a farmer living in Cang County, Hebei Province. I quit school after the second grade. In 1997, I learned how to practice Falun Gong from a friend. After studying the principles of Falun Gong, I knew how to become a good person. Both of my daughters also became less selfish. They started to follow the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" and gradually began to practice Falun Gong. After that, my sister found that Falun Gong was so wonderful, from getting along with me. She started to practice Falun Gong, quit smoking and gambling, and felt energetic every day. She always said, "Falun Gong changed us."
After that, I heard that many practitioners were arrested. So, on July 20, 1999, we went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. The police detained us for four to five hours. We did not cooperate with their violent interrogation. Since they could not obtain any information from us, they released us. As soon as we arrived home, county government officials detained us and forced us to attend a "learning class." They did not allow us to go home, or walk freely. We were monitored even when we used the washroom. At night, many male and female practitioners slept in a big room, and the lights of the room were not allowed to be shut off. During the day, we were forced to watch TV programs, newspapers, and magazines which defamed Falun Gong. As soon as we looked at them, we understood that they were all lies and propaganda. We were detained and tortured for more than ten days.
In order to call for righteous people to stop the persecution, in October 2000, we overcame many difficulties and went to Tiananmen Square in Beijing to clarify the truth about Falun Gong. We were arrested on the morning of the 26th. Officials from the Political and Legal Committee of Cang County, Cang County Police Station, and the county government took me to their hotel, blamed me for creating troubles for them, and demanded to know the whereabouts of other practitioners. About six or seven people took turns beating me with a hard baton. Then they clapped my face for more than ten minutes. They were out of breath and shouted to me, "Just wait and see how we will deal with you when you return."
After we came back, the local government officials immediately imprisoned me at a detention center for more than two months. My second daughter was released after more than a month of detention and was forced to pay more than 2000 yuan. My first daughter was on hunger strike for more than one week and was released. After that, I was transferred to a labor camp.
Kaiping Forced Labor Camp was a chaotic place. There was no personal freedom at all. We had to report even when we used the restroom. Beatings were possible every day. The guards strived to obtain bounties from the CCP or to be promoted, by forcibly brainwashing Falun Gong practitioners, and defaming and attacking Falun Gong. In order to achieve their goals, they used all kinds of torture methods. To request basic human rights and to stop the brainwashing, Falun Gong practitioners started hunger strikes together. The guards then force-fed Falun Gong practitioners and kicked and beat them with electric batons or fists. One time, the guards arranged a TV program and ordered us to watch it. After learning that it was a program defaming Falun Gong, we stood up to clarify the truth. They beat us and some of us were wounded.
My first daughter thought that everything was over for her after returning home. However, the people who arrested us did not give up. After my daughter stayed at home for one month, they broke into my home and arrested my daughter again without any reason or legal procedure. All the people in my village were very angry with them and said that they kidnapped my daughter. This time, my sister also was arrested and sent to Kaiping Forced Labor Camp in Tangshan City. However, she was rejected by the camp and sent back home. My daughter was sentenced to two years in the camp. Because of her attachments, she said something against Falun Gong under the pressure of a long jail term and severe persecution. After returning home, she felt very guilty about it. We will definitely double our efforts to make amends, recover the losses to Falun Gong, and become qualified Falun Gong practitioners.
I am a practitioner from Huludao. I was once illegally arrested by the local police and thrown into Masanjia Forced Labor Camp. During that time, I was subjected to cruel torture, with little food and no sleep. Refusing to give up my practice, I ate rough packaged flour meal for about 4 months.
During the cruel torture some villains tried to forcefully cut my hair. When I resisted, they called up 7 or 8 policemen to hold me down to the floor. While my arms were handcuffed onto a big high chair behind my back, they kicked me on the hip, which was tremendously painful for over 1 month. Police guard Cui Hong cut my hair and made me look scary. After this was done, policewoman Huang Haiyan made a laughing stock out of me. This forceful haircut left more than 20 bruises on my body. A new pair of shoes was also torn apart during the process. To this day, I still keep this pair of shoes as evidence.
The villains' tricks were very vicious. They invited the steadfast practitioners into a separate room and behaved very kindly toward them. But the purpose for the niceties was because they were afraid of being exposed while conducting cruel tortures. One time, policeman Cui Hong called me out with a wicked smile on his face. The moment I stepped out and was away from the crowd, he dragged me toward a heater stove and handcuffed me onto it. I was literally "baked" for 24 hours. Together with Cui Hong, policewoman Li Mingyu kicked me with her leather shoes on. The kicking left many bruises on my body. There was another policeman without a name tag who beat my face with his fists, causing my mouth to bleed.
Practitioners who refused to be "transformed" were forced to sit on the cold icy ground. During the winter, male policemen ordered female practitioners to strip off their pants for forced feeding. They purposely opened the windows to freeze these practitioners. In the summer they took the opposite approach; they would close the windows and seal the gaps with plastic cloths in order to suffocate people in the room.
The police used extremely brutal means in forcing practitioners to "transform." Electric batons were shoved into practitioners' mouths, onto their eyelids, and in their armpits, causing tremendous pain. Practitioners' hands were stretched to two extremes with one hung up high and the other tied down with a heavy weight. While in this vulnerable position, villains were called in to beat the practitioners until they were rendered unconscious. Even so, they would not release the practitioners. Some practitioners' hands and feet were tied up behind their backs, and then trampled on. One practitioner's arm was fractured by a villain's violent kick. Some police sealed practitioners' mouths with tape and handcuffed them over the hot stove, trying to suffocate them. A few practitioners lost consciousness right away.
A practitioner was "transformed" against her own conscience due to the cruel torture. Later, when she realized the truth and decided to reverse her statement, she was brutally beaten and thrown into a narrow chamber. Her clothes were stripped off and replaced with loose garments. She was then tied to a chair for 10 days. The villains stung her with needles, twisted her skin with pincers and violently force-fed her.
The most vicious policemen I know are Zhang Huan, Zhang Lei and Li Mingyu. There are a few others, but I do not have their names. They have conducted all the cruelties that I mentioned above to practitioners.
Masanjia Labor Camp is literally a living hell on earth. The generous attitude toward practitioners shown on TV was constructed to deceive viewers.

Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Liu Degao, 84, worked in the Anhui Province Police Department in the 1950s, and was the CCP Huainan City Committee Secretary in Anhui Province until he retired. After retirement, he lived in his hometown, Baihuayu Village, in Taoxu Town, in Mengyin County, Shandong Province. He started practicing Falun Gong in 1997. After July 20, 1999, he wrote to Jiang Zemin many times, but that only brought disaster upon him.
In the spring of 2000, Mr. Liu Degao was deceived into going to a brainwashing center, where he was cursed during the day and forced to sleep on the icy-cold cement floor for one week at night. He was released after they had extorted 6,000 yuan from him. The town officials kept threatening him at his home upon his return.
Under long-term threats and suppression, his wife, a non-practitioner, burnt all his Falun Gong books, causing him to become painfully sick. He died on August 16, 2004.
On January 19, 2004, the Taoxu Town officers conducted large scale arrests of Falun Gong practitioners by using all personnel from every Department. They "registered" all the practitioners and arrested everyone on the list.
At 8:30 p.m. on April 4, 2006, policeman Wang Shiyong from Enjizhuang Police Station in Haidian District, Beijing City crashed into the home of Ms. Wang Kuizan in Qixiancun Community and interrogated her on the basis of "examining household registrations." When asked where her husband was, Ms. Wang told the policeman in all seriousness, "You arrested him. How can you ask me where he is? You should not persecute Falun Gong! Falun Gong is good!" Afterwards, the policeman told her to get her daughter, Jiang Yahui, and for both to go to the police station to "have a talk," but she refused. The policeman made threats and said that they had to go with him to the station. He called in more police, and they ransacked her home. In the early morning of April 5, they arrested the mother and the daughter. After the fact, police forced her son, who did not practice Falun Gong, to sign a search warrant.
Another three Falun Gong practitioners-- Xie Peng, Chang Chunyu, and Du--has visited Ms. Wang's home on the evening of April 4. They were all arrested on April 5. All were sent to Haidian Detention center. That same day, Ms. Xue Peng escaped.
Ms. Zhang Xueqin and her daughter, Chen Ping, in Caochang Village, Sujiatuo Town, Haidian District, were arrested by seven or eight policemen from the Haidian Branch of the Shangdi Police Station and the Sujiatuo Police Station. They cried out, 'Falun Dafa is good!' and told the truth to the policemen. The policemen stayed in Ms. Chen Ping's home for a whole day, and confiscated a computer and some Falun Gong books. They are illegally detained at the Qinghe Detention Center in the Haidian District and are not allowed visitors. Ms. Chen Ping was detained in the No.7 First Section, and her mother was detained in the No.8 Second Section.
Police arrested Ms. Zhou Jing on her way home from work on February 23, just before the two CCP conferences. They also ransacked her home. 610 Office agents confiscated many things in her home. Ms. Zhou Jing's husband, Guo Wei, and her boss, Li Yong, were also detained but released due to lack of evidence. Ms. Zhou Jing is facing an illegal sentence.
Ms. Zhou Jing started to practice Falun Gong in 1997. On October 26, 1999, she went to the National People's Congress at Tiananmen to protest how Jiang Zemin was insulting Falun Gong with slanderous words. She was detained in Fengtai Detention Center for a month. At the beginning of 2000, she went to the National People's Congress to appeal twice and was detained twice by the State Security officers. In April she was arrested by the Hepingli Police Station but was released after it was determined that she was pregnant. In July, she was arrested and beaten by policemen but was again released after she was found to be pregnant. In July 2001, she was brainwashed. In September, she was arrested but was released because she was weak due to a hunger strike. In December, she was arrested again and sent to a forced labor camp for one year and six months. Because she went on a hunger strike, she became so weak that she was discharged and kept under surveillance. Afterwards, although she escaped surveillance, she was still arrested in July 2002 and detained at Tiantanghe Women's Forced Labor Camp. She was forced to stand for long periods of time and was not allowed to sleep when she was very weak. She was also brainwashed. In June 2003, she was released, but the surveillance continued afterwards.
Falun Gong practitioners Wang Xiulin and Li Zhengyu
in Zhaitang
Village, Zhaitang Town, Mentougou District, Beijing City, were arrested
by 610
Office police when telling truth on February 22, 2006. They were now
detained in Mentougou Police Station.
1. [Langfang City, Hebei Province] Mr. Cao Baoyu Was Tortured until He Had Heart Failure
Mr. Cao Baoyu, a practitioner from Langfang City, is in custody at the Internal Cardiac Section of North Avenue Hospital, Guangyang District, Langfang City, along with Mr. Yang Jianpo in the same emergency room. After the medical check-up, Mr. Cao Baoyu was diagnosed with heart failure. He also had a relapse of "head pus" before starting to practice Falun Gong. Now his neck is completely rotten and he has an ulcer, his face has dropsy, and he is dying. However, authorities will still not release him.
Ms. Nie Chunling, Mr. Yang Jianpo's wife, is also suffering physically. She can hardly walk. In order to prevent Mr. Yang Jiangpo and Mr. Cao Baoyu from beinig transferred elsewhere, Mr. Yang Jianpo's family stays at the hospital even at night.
2. [Tangshan City, Hebei Province] Practitioner Mr. Wang Jianhui Was Secretly Transferred And His Current Whereabouts Are Unknown
Practitioner Mr. Wang Jianhui was detained at Tangshan City No. 1 Detention Center for giving out truth-clarifying materials a month ago. His family inquired many times about his whereabouts through Mr. Wang Jianhui's workplace, the Tangshan City Broadcasting and TV Bureau, but his supervisors refused to see them. There has been no recent news about Mr. Wang Jianhui, and his current whereabouts are unknown.
3. [Fujian Province] Practitioner Mr. Wei Jianyu Was Arrested Once Again
Mr. Wei Jianyu from Fujian Province was illegally arrested and taken to the Detention Center by the Shaowu City National Security Group on February 20, 2006. His computers and over 10,000 yuan were confiscated. Mr. Wei Jianyu went on hunger strike to protest against the persecution.
