Facts of the Persecution

1. Cruel persecution of practitioners in the Fifth Group of Zhongba Forced Labor Camp, Guizhou Province

Officers Pan Zhong and Yang Renshou brutally beat Falun Dafa practitioners many times. Together with drug addicts imprisoned in the labor camp, they locked up practitioner Wang Shangyou in a small room, beat him, knocked him unconscious, and deprived him of sleep for a long time in order to force him to compromise his belief. Practitioner Liu Zeyuan, a college graduate and a teacher, was a normal person when the authorities sent him to the labor camp. The authorities imprisoned him in a forced "conversion" group, where they instructed Ye Houzhong and other drug addicts to torture him. On a few occasions, they forced Mr. Liu to eat human excrement. Starting to exhibit signs of a mental collapse after years of torture, Mr. Liu continues to be imprisoned in the Fifth Group.

2. Officials from the 610 Office and police officers in the Fanyu District of Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, brutally persecute practitioners

Back in 2000, the authorities in Guangzhou illegally sentenced Lu Haiyun, an employee of Yongda Group Ltd., to two years in a forced labor camp. When his term was completed in 2002, the authorities sent him to the Guanzhou Legal Education School for further brainwashing and persecution. They have persecuted him there ever since.

In May of 2000, about nine police officers led by Liang Shaofeng came to Zhujiang Power Plant to abduct Ms. Lan Shaomei for practicing Falun Gong. After her husband spoke out against the police's actions, he was arrested as well.

3. Three practitioners from Fengcheng City, Liaoning Province, are being persecuted at the notorious Dabei Prison of Shenyang City

The authorities at the notorious Dabei Prison of Shenyang City are currently persecuting practitioners Zhang Yanqin, Sui Guiqin, and Jiang Fengli from Red Flag Village, Baoshan Township, Fengcheng City, Liaoning Province. Ms. Zhang, 53 years old, went to Beijing back in February 2000 to appeal on behalf of Falun Gong. The authorities arrested her and illegally sentenced her to one year of forced labor camp. She is currently imprisoned in the notorious Masanjia Forced Labor Camp. While distributing Falun Dafa truth-clarifying literature in Shuanghe Village of Dongtang Township, Ms. Zhang, Ms. Sui, and Ms. Jiang were turned in by the village leader. As a result, the authorities illegally imprisoned the three practitioners in a detention center for six months. Later they sentenced them each to four years in the notorious Dabei Prison. Currently Ms. Zhang is in very poor health as a result of the long-term persecution. Imprisoned in the same place after appealing in Beijing in 2000 and being persecuted at Masanjia, 52-year-old Ms. Sui Guiqin is now critically ill as a result of the constant torture in the prison.

4. The crimes committed by the Zhaoyuan City 610 Office officials in Shandong Province

On January 30, 2005, the authorities once again took Ms. Zhang Mingqing from Diaozhongdou Village, Jinling Township, Zhaoyuan City, to Wangcun Labor Camp. Now almost sixty years old, Ms. Zhang went to Beijing twice to appeal on behalf of Falun Gong. From 1999 when Jiang's regime launched the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners to the end of 2003, authorities from Jinling Township abducted and tortured her four times. In June of 2004, officers from the Jinling police station broke into her house and took her to a brainwashing center, persecuting her there for two months. In the past five years, again and again, the authorities have arrested her for practicing Falun Gong, harassed her family, and extorted money from her.

The authorities sentenced Mr. Sun Guo, a practitioner from Zhaoyuan City, to prison for eight years simply because he distributed Falun Dafa truth-clarifying literature. Mr. Sun is currently in a prison in Jinan City. The authorities did not spare Mr. Sun's family, either. Sun's wife has been forced to live in exile for over three years, Sun's mother suffered a mental collapse after Mr. Sun's sentence, and Mr. Sun's ninety-year-old father is also suffering mentally. Left behind is Mr. Sun's only child, a teenage daughter in high school. While she was spending her holidays at home for the traditional Chinese New Year, officials from the 610 Office of Zhaoyuan City came on February 6, 2005 to harass the sixteen-year-old girl. She refused to open the door after realizing they wanted to ransack the house.
