1. [Nong'an, Jilin Province] Illegal Eight-Year Prison Sentence for Falun Dafa Practitioner Zheng Guomin

On August 6, 2004, the Nong'an County Court colluded with the Nong'an County Police Department in Jilin Province to block any news regarding this incident.

Practitioner Zheng was sentenced to eight years in prison. The entire trial lasted less than ten minutes.

2. [Shenyang City, Liaoning Province] Torturing Practitioners in the Zhangshi Labor Camp

Since 2003, personnel from the Shenyang City Zhangshi Labor Camp have brutally tortured dozens of steadfast Falun Dafa practitioners at least three times. They shocked them with electric batons, deprived them of sleep and hung them up, trying to force practitioners to give up Falun Gong practice. When some practitioners pointed out that the enforcers were violating national policy and law, they even said, "These torture methods are just for you who refuse to give in; otherwise, why would the country produce these electric batons and what would we get paid for?" Some practitioners have scars all over their mouths, chests, backs and legs from being shocked with electric batons. One practitioner whose hands were handcuffed for so long and who was hung up for so long, developed a very deep and large wound in the wrist. It took him/her a month to heal. Policeman Shi Fengyou beat practitioner Jiao Guolian so hard that Jiao lost two front teeth, which constitutes a criminal injury; but Shi has not yet been punished. Song Baishun and Chen Wei are another couple of vicious police officers who torture practitioners, but there are more just like them.
