[Hunan Province] Lawless Policemen Bruise Dafa Practitioner Ms. Li Chaliu All Over Her Body
Ms. Li Chaliu, 56 years old, is a farmer from Jiangyuan Village, Pingjiangdaping Township of Hunan Province. Due to her poor health, for more than the past ten years she had led a difficult life. Since she began to practice Falun Gong in 1997, her health has become better and better. Moreover, she has a much higher moral standard than before.
On August 4, 2002, when Li Chaliu sent some Falun Gong truth-clarifying materials to a fellow practitioner in Yuping Township, policemen from a local precinct arrested her. The lawless police forced Li Chaliu to tell them the source of materials. They beat and kicked her. They refused to listen to Li Chaliu's kind persuasion. During the night, they brutally beat her again. She was beaten so severely that bruises covered her whole body. Her left kneecap was broken and severely swollen. Her left breast was injured and she could not straighten her back. Now Li Chaliu is still being held at a detention center.

It was said that policemen forcibly took two Falun Gong practitioners, Mr. Chen Guohua and Mr. Fan Sihua, into Xiantao City's Magang Brainwashing Class for persecution, disregarding their poor health. Shayang Forced Labor Camp had refused to accept these two practitioners because of their bad health before the "16th National Party Congress" and they were released to go home. At the end of November, after being persecuted in the brainwashing class, they were put into the Shayang Forced Labor Camp after policemen bribed officials from the forced labor camp.
In the middle of December, Xiantao City's Yinxing Theater once again played a film slandering Falun Gong.

[Tangshan City, Hebei Province] Personnel from Tangshan City's Forced Labor Camp Brutally Torture Dafa Practitioners
At present, in order to achieve their goal of forcing practitioners to give up their belief, guards in Tangshan City's Forced Labor Camp torture Falun Gong practitioners with excruciating means at their will. The guards wouldn't stop using those excruciating means until practitioners give in. The means they used are extremely ferocious, including: punishment by forcing practitioners to stand for a long time, a form of abuse that makes practitioners' feet too swollen to wear shoes; punishment by forcing practitioners to squat for a long time, so that practitioners could hardly stand up after that; taking turns to monitor practitioners and not allowing them to sleep for several days. The purpose is to make one's mind numb, lose one's self-control after feeling exhausted, to make one break down mentally and give in under the situation of duress. Sometimes guards used hypocritical means to dupe practitioners into "compromising." If they failed, they would resort to using excruciating means.
Under these cruel tortures, some practitioners experienced a mental collapse; some practitioners were tortured to the point of fainting; some contracted hepatitis but were not allowed to see a doctor; some were tortured so badly that their blood pressure reached 240mmHg. The police refused to release practitioners and even claimed that the practitioners wouldn't die, but even if they died, there was a very convenient crematory nearby.
Practitioners protested the illegal brutal torture by refusing to eat and drink. Some of them have been staging a hunger strike for several months, some for half a year. Guards brutally force-feed them. Some practitioners being force-fed are on the verge of death; however, the policemen still beat and abuse them. Some practitioners were tortured to death from force-feeding and some were beaten so badly they hover between life and death.
We appeal to international human right organizations to pay attention to the illegal persecution conducted by personnel at Tangshan City's Forced Labor Camp, who act with utter disregard for human life. We also hope kind-hearted people all over the world pay attention to this issue and support us.
