At around 11:40 p.m. on December 31, 2001, a Falun Dafa practitioner died as a result of torture in Room #4 of the Third Detention Center in Jilin City. The practitioner's name and address are as of yet unknown. This is currently being investigated to uncover more details.

On October 11, 2001, in order to validate Falun Dafa to the world and to protest against the persecution, several Falun Dafa practitioners and I started a hunger strike. At 6:00 a.m. the next day, I was sent to a "strict observation room." Those who monitored me were two people serving "double forced labor" sentences. One of them was once sentenced to a 15-year prison term. They threatened, intimidated, and violently forced me to eat. One of them said, "It's so common to have people die here. Whoever dies is placed in a plastic bag. Then a label is affixed to it, and the body is dragged away." He then added, "If you don't eat now, by the time you feel like eating, you won't be allowed to eat. When you die of hunger, we will claim you had committed suicide to reach consummation." At around 8:00 p.m., one of them said ferociously, "If you fall asleep, I am going to choke you to death. Then I'll falsify an account of what happened. Isn't it so easy to kill you? No one would ever know what really happened."

Under the instigation of the Jiang regime's policy of " brutality and lies," even a convicted felon dares to openly victimize Falun Gong practitioners without fear of consequences.

In January 2001, the Political Security Section of Longjing City in Jilin Province illegally arrested over 20 Falun Dafa practitioners. Ten of these practitioners were later sentenced to "re-education though forced labor." Each of them received severe maltreatment and suffered injuries all over their bodies resulting from police torture. The thugs who participated in the beating include: Jiang Yinglao, Zhang Rujiang, Wang Yongsheng, Chen Shujun, Jin Yingyun, Dai Shufeng, Jin Longji, a driver with the last name of Song, and others.

In June and July, the Longjing City Politics and Security Section illegally arrested over 20 practitioners in the area of its jurisdiction. After detaining them in the Longjing City Detention Center for two months, 12 practitioners were illegally sent to a forced labor camp. Among these 12 practitioners, 9 are female.

In August, over 20 practitioners were unlawfully arrested in the Yanji area. Among that group, 6 male practitioners were sent to the Longjing City Detention Center. When officials from the Political Security Section of the autonomous state came for interrogation, policemen were called in to beat Dafa practitioners without restraint. First the police just punched and kicked, but later they used chairs to beat the practitioners. Dafa practitioners were bleeding badly and severely injured. Practitioners were also deprived of sleep for the entire night. In the end practitioners were put on "Tiger Benches" and shocked.

The month of November marked the arrest of another 6 practitioners. Jiang Yinglao, Dai Shufeng, Jin Longji and others in the Longjing City's Political Security Section beat and tortured the practitioners mercilessly. Despite undergoing all sorts of persecution, the Falun Dafa practitioners remain determined. They are being held at Longjing City's Political Security Section.

Dafa practitioner Liu Fengwu, 40 years old, lives in Chaoyang Township. He obtained the Fa in 1998, and he went to Beijing in July 2000 to rectify the Fa. In January of this year his wife and another practitioner went to a distant village to distribute Dafa materials and were reported to the authorities. The local policemen stayed outside his house to monitor him for three days but did not discover anything. On the fourth day, January 17, Liu's sister came to visit him, carrying a plastic bag. The police thought that the bag contained Dafa materials. Some officers knocked down the door, while others jumped into his house over the wall. They rushed into his bedroom, taking both Liu and his sister to the police station to interrogate them about the source of the materials. Liu refused to answer, and that night he was sent to Beishan Detention Center. He remains firm in his refusal to cooperate with the evil and has been on a hunger strike since January 17. Police have tortured him inhumanly and bound him to a "dead person's bed" for 10 days. [Note: Dead person's bed - The four limbs of the practitioner are stretched out and tied to the four corners of an icy-cold metal bed. The practitioner cannot move at all, nor is he allowed to get up to eat, drink, or go to the bathroom.]

Lu Shuping, 43 years old and a former employee of Daqing Petroleum Station, now lives in the family area of the station. On October 1, 2000, 500 Yuan (the average monthly salary in China) was deducted from her paycheck by the manager Zhang Yongtian because she said, "Falun Dafa is good." She went to Beijing to appeal on November 29, 2000. Because of her actions, she was fined 2000 Yuan by the Daqing Liaison Office in Beijing and detained for 15 days. At the end of 2001 the work unit was afraid that she would go to Beijing, so they forfeited her bonus of 2600 Yuan and fined her an additional 11,142 Yuan. She did not get it back until May. Because other practitioners in the work unit went to Beijing to appeal, Lu Shuping also was detained on Fridays and not allowed to return home until after 9 pm on Sundays. She has since then been forced to retire.

Liu Jingyun, 43 years old, lives in Hebei Province, Fengrun County, Xiaozhanggezhuang Town, Nanqingtuo Village. On June 27, 2000, she went to Beijing to appeal and was detained for 40 days. In July her house was ransacked and all of her valuable appliances and furniture were taken away. The primary person responsible was Alcalde Dong. On December 24, 2001, her home again was ransacked, and she lost 5800 Yuan worth of personal possessions.
