In October 1999, some personnel in the Liaohe Oil Field's Central Hospital fired practitioner Bao Juncen, who went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong, accusing him of skipping work. They counted the period when Bao was in detention as being absent from work. Later, they colluded with personnel from the local police precinct and arrested, threatened and otherwise tormented practitioners in the hospital. They suspended retired practitioners' pension for over 16 months. Recently, they took away the hospital jobs of the family members of practitioners Ms. Zhang Shuyan and Ms. Kou Youyuan in order to create conflict at home. Then they tried to force practitioners to write the so-called "Three Statements" to give up practicing and denouncing Falun Gong.

They savagely tortured steadfast practitioners, using all kinds of excruciating methods such as "binding on a dead person's bed" and "hanging up"[hung up by four limbs in the air]. They deprived the practitioners of sleep for several days in a row and ordered prisoners to be "personal cangues (1)." As soon as they saw practitioners close their eyes, the prisoners would prick the practitioners with a needle or beat them cruelly.
