2. [Dalian City, Liaoning Province] Police Officer Gao Shiyun from the Wafangdian City "610 Office" Brutally Tortures Falun Dafa Practitioners

Gao Shiyun, police officer at the Wafangdian City "610 Office" [an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems] in Dalian, Liaoning Province, has arrested both local and out-of-town Falun Dafa practitioners. Gao has viciously tortured all Falun Dafa practitioners who have remained steadfast in their belief. He handcuffed them, punched and kicked them, and whipped them with belts, shoes, and wooden planks. He also deprived practitioners of sleep. Even elderly female practitioners in their 60's were not spared. One Falun Dafa practitioner had injuries to his head, arms, and legs as a result of Gao's brutality. He was then sent to a detention center. On the following day, the doctor there called in members of the "610 Office" and told them that such severe injuries had to be treated in a hospital, not in the detention center. On the same day, as the practitioner was being examined in the Wafangdian Hospital, doctors wrote up a preliminary report and asked for a CT scan and ultrasound checkup. The police, however, insisted on taking the practitioner back to the detention center and lied to everybody that there was nothing wrong. The practitioner was bedridden for over half a month before he could get up.

Telephone number of the "610 Office" in the Wafangdian City Police Department: 86-411-5627482.

3. [Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province] Falun Dafa Practitioner Mr. Zhou Hanchun Unlawfully Held in the Jinzhou Prison

In 2003, Jinzhou City Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Zhou Hanchun came to Huludao City to work at a job in a restaurant in the Sanjiazi area in Nanpiao Town. He found out that Falun Gong truth-clarifying materials had not reached the area for a long time, and the public had been misled by lies spread by the media. Mr. Zhou often took time at night to distribute leaflets that presented the facts about Falun Dafa in both nearby and remote areas. The roads in the mountainous area where he worked are quite uneven and winding, and residents live far away from each other. Sometimes he had to walk all night and got home just at daybreak.

On May 13, 2003, World Falun Dafa Day, Mr. Zhou went out to unfurl banners, paint signs, and post self-adhesive flyers. The police unlawfully arrested him and took him to the Sanjiazi Police Station in Nanpiao Town. In the police station, Mr. Zhou managed to escape with righteous thoughts in mind but was blocked by people unaware of the situation. Three police officers caught up to him from behind and took him to the Huangjia Detention Center in Nanpiao Town. Five and a half months later, he was unlawfully sentenced to jail. On October 28, 2003, Mr. Zhou was sent to the Admissions Brigade in the Jinzhou Prison.

Practitioners who have remained steadfast in their belief were exposed to the blazing sun for the whole day in summer when the temperature was as high as 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit). At night, practitioners were thrown into damp, unventilated rooms where mosquitoes swarmed and bit them. Practitioners have been denied taking showers and drinking water.
