1. [Sanshui City, Guangdong Province] Crimes Committed by the Sanshui Women's Forced Labor Camp

The Second Division of the Guangdong Sanshui Women's Forced Labor Camp specializes in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. It forces practitioners to write the so-called Three Statements [promising not to practice Falun Gong, regretting that they practiced in the past, and separating themselves from Falun Gong]. When Falun Dafa practitioners refuse to write these statements the guards deprive the practitioners of sleep and don't allow them to sit down. They handcuff the practitioner's hands behind their backs and force them to squat down. The police guards often use electric batons to shock the practitioners' nipples and genital areas.

The torture methods they used are just too numerous to list; but here are a few examples. One police division chief made drug addicts force urine down the throat of Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Han Zhimin. They also punched and kicked her, and pinched her until she was black and blue all over. The police guards also made drug addicts tie Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Deng Caijuan up and beat her until she was covered with cuts and bruises. The police guards did not even spare the women that were over sixty years of age. Everyone suffered these tortures.

2. [Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province] Shuanghe Forced Labor Camp Staff Ruthlessly Torture Falun Gong Practitioners

At the end of 2003 and the beginning of 2004, Shuanghe Forced Labor Camp in Qiqihar City sent Division Chief Guo Li, Zhang Zhijie, and others to notorious Wanjia and Masanjia Forced Labor Camps to learn the methods they use to torture Falun Dafa practitioners. On February 15 they returned and began a new round of cruel torture of the steadfast Falun Gong practitioners. Dafa practitioners were forced to sit on an iron chair for long periods of time. Another torture was to cuff the practitioner's hands behind their backs and force them to squat down. Dafa practitioner Ms. Cheng Chunmin was on the verge of death because of the mistreatment. However, the police guards just threw her into a big warehouse where she has been left for nearly two months. Those Falun Dafa practitioners who cannot bear the persecution any longer and write the required statements renouncing Falun Dafa against their wills are spared from the tortures. However, policewoman Wang Mei, Head of the Eighth Division (home phone: 86-452-2131964) tore up the statements. This woman is extremely vicious. She signed a contract with the City "610 Office" (1) after July 20, 1999 agreeing to persecute Falun Gong practitioners.

3. [Panzhihua City, Sichuan Province] Many Falun Dafa Truth-Clarification Material Producing Sites Ransacked; Practitioners Arrested

6. [Guangdong Province] Cases of Torture against Falun Dafa Practitioners

Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Ke Langsheng, about 30 years old, from Maoming City Guangdong Province, was detained by the police in Shenzhen in 2000. He was then sent back to Maoming and because he refused to write the "Three Statements." He is still being persecuted.

Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Li Wenzhen from Zhongtong Township, Huazhou City, Guangdong Province had been detained in the Maoming brainwashing center for a long time and suffered severe torture. In February 2004 she was sent back home. At the time the brainwashing center neither notified the local Zhongtong Police Station or her family members. When she got home Ms. Li was not in her right mind because of the pain and suffering she had endured and she was also depressed and unstable. Her family members were worried so they went to the local police station and the "610 Office" to find out what had happened to her. However, they were not given any details as no one wanted to be held responsible for torturing Ms. Li. With the help of fellow practitioners, Li Wenzhen is getting better; but is not yet fully clearheaded.

8. [Laixi City, Shandong Province] Chengguan Police Station Arrest Mr. Zhang Jiamin and Ransack His House

On the morning of March 22, 2004, Mr. Zhang Jianmin left home on his bicycle. At about 6 p.m. while our family was waiting anxiously for Mr. Zhang to return home, all of a sudden two police cars stopped in front of our house. The policemen acted like bandits. Someone showed us his ID saying they were from the Public Security Bureau. They said Zhang Jianmin had been telling people how good Falun Dafa is in Chengguan Township and described this as "disturbing social order." Thus, their Director sent them to search our house. Some of them searched through our books and some took photographs. All of our family members remained very patient and told them that it is not wrong to cultivate "Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance". However, they pretended not to hear what we said. Even as they got in the police car we asked them to remember Falun Dafa is good. They left looking depressed while our neighbors denounced their actions. Zhang Jianmin is currently held at the Laixi Detention Center.

9. [Songyuan City, Jilin Province] Outstanding Schoolteacher Wang Xiaoxin Arrested Again by Police

Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Wang Xiaoxin, 35 years old, lives in Qianguo County, Songyuan City. He is an outstanding teacher at the Maodu Township High School. He is earnest and hardworking. Mr. Wang was arrested in May 2002 and suffered severe torture and was forced to stop practicing Falun Gong. After being released he enlightened that he should not have given in and began to practice Falun Gong again. To make up for his mistake he talked openly about the cruel persecution he had suffered to people in his area.

The perpetrators responsible for torturing Mr. Wang were very afraid to learn that their names and their evil deeds had been made public, because everything they had done was illegal. They were shamed into anger, and therefore arrested Mr. Wang Xiaoxin at the end of March 2004 using the excuse that they had found Falun Gong materials in a desk drawer in Mr. Wang's office. Currently, Mr. Wang Xiaoxin's whereabouts are unknown.

10. [Songyuan City, Jilin Province] Falun Dafa Practitioners in Changling County Arrested by the Local Police

On March 25, 2004, the "610 Office' of Changling County, Jilin Province began a new round of arrests of Falun Dafa practitioners. Five practitioners were arrested and their houses were ransacked. The five practitioners are 70-year old Ms. Chen Xiurong, Ms. Wang Lina (She has a child of only a few years old), 58-year old teacher Zhao Shurong of Zuoke Village, Jubao Township, Changling County, Mr. Meng Qinghai of Shali Village, and another practitioner. They are being held at the Changling North Detention Center. Wherever the police went they confiscated all of the Falun Gong books and the truth-clarification materials.

We have learned that this new round of large-scale arrests was caused by the carelessness of practitioners. Some Dafa practitioners were followed while telling people the facts about the persecution. They had written down the phone numbers of other practitioners without encrypting them. This is a very bitter lesson.

Names of some people directly related to the persecution:

Wang Wen, Team leader of the Changling County Police Department

Liu Min, Zuoke Village

Dai Xishan, Head of the Changling County "610 Office": 86-438-7660360 (home)

At the beginning of April 2004, the owner of a photocopying shop threatened to call the police when he noticed Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Tang of Guilin City printing Falun Dafa materials. When another Dafa practitioner Li Yanzhi learned the news, he offered to go to the shop to talk about the facts with the owner, whom he happened to know. However, the owner called the police and Li was immediately arrested. Ms. Tang was forced to leave home to avoid further persecution. Another Falun Dafa practitioner from Guilin, Mr. Liu Yaoming, was reported by a student while handing out truth-clarification materials and was arrested three days later by the local police.

17. [Changchun City, Jilin Province] Food and Food Containers Illegally Processed in the Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp in Extremely Unsanitary Conditions

The Changchun Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp (Jilin Provincial Women's Forced Labor Camp) has been using the detainees as slave laborers to illegally process food and boxes. Conditions are highly unsanitary and violate the Food Hygiene Law.

a. Folding cake/cookie boxes for Changchun City Haolilai Food Processing Factory: After the boxes having been folded, weight is needed to press the boxes flat so they can be packed. People sit on the folded boxes or put a piece of paper on the boxes and then step on them with their feet. It is extremely insanitary.

b. To peel the skin off onions for Changchun City Pickle Factory detainees step on the onions first and then peel off the skin, which is highly unsanitary.

c. Selecting melon seeds in autumn and winter: Melon seeds are selected in the same workshop in which feathers are used to produce sacrificial offerings. People handling the melon seeds are not given the opportunity to wash their hands because of the poor conditions. The containers for the seeds are also very dirty.

It is against the Food Hygiene Law to process food and food containers under such adverse and dirty conditions, and it is also unethical
