1. [Jilin Province] Falun Dafa Practitioner Li Zhiyong, Held in Jilin Province's Prison, Is in a Perilous Situation

On September 27, 2004, Chief Zhang, from the Punishment Section in Jilin Prison, called Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Li Zhiyong's family and ordered them to pick up Li Zhiyong.

Previously, the prison, authorities from the Yintong Police Precinct, and the "610 Office" made an agreement by phone to let Yintong Police Precinct accept Li. Chief Zhang and another policeman brought Li Zhiyong to the Yintong Police Precinct to finish the release procedure. However, when they got there, the head of the National Security Team from the police precinct refused to sign the receipt to release Li Zhiyong, citing that Li's original residency was not in the Yintong Police Precinct. Thus, chief Zhang and the other policeman took practitioner Li Zhiyong back to Jilin Prison.

Li was already very sick and he did not eat anything that day, so his poor health was aggravated. On September 29, personnel in the Punishment Section contacted the Juhua Road Police Precinct, location of Mr. Li's original residency, and ordered them to sign the receipt, but the police precinct people also refused, with the reason that Li was not living there. Consequently, no police precinct would accept Li Zhiyong.

Li's family asked the Jilin Prison when Li would be released. Chief Wang from the Punishment Section replied, "We are dealing with the issue through the provincial '610 Office' and the National Security Bureau."

On October 10, Li's mother went to the Jilin Railway Hospital, where the prison authorities had sent him, to see her severely ill son. Li could not open his eyes and his body was severely swollen. He could not get up from the bed, and was in critical condition.

On October 12, Li's parents wrote an urgent letter to the director of Jilin Province's Judiciary Bureau and to the Jilin Province Prison Administrative Bureau, and mailed the letter marked "emergency delivery." They requested the unconditional release of their son, whose life is in peril.

2. [Jilin City, Jilin Province] Several Falun Dafa Practitioners Suffer from Pulmonary Tuberculosis Due to Persecution

In 2002, special agents from Liaoyuan City's "610 Office" arrested Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. He Yuanhui from her home in Liaoyuan City. She was tortured with excruciating methods, such as pounding bamboo sticks under her fingernails. In September 2002 she was sentenced to ten years of imprisonment in Jilin City's Prison, where she suffered from pulmonary tuberculosis. She coughs blood and does not have the strength to walk.

Several practitioners currently have pulmonary tuberculosis, however, the prison authorities still do not allow these practitioners to be bailed out for medical treatment. On the contrary -- not only are they not permitted bail for medical treatment, the persecutors do not even permit these practitioners to practice the Falun Gong exercises, and they also try to brainwash them.

Ms. Liang Miaoxia, Wu Zhuolan's daughter, is also a practitioner. She is under "tight monitoring." Wu Zhuolan's ex-husband, Liang Guobiao, is the proprietor of the Yangcheng Evening Paper group.

He claimed the reason he divorced his wife was because Wu Zhuolan and their daughter practiced Falun Gong. The true story is that he actually had a mistress and wanted to marry her. His mistress often slandered Falun Dafa and abused Wu Zhuolan.
