2. [Jinan City, Shandong Province] Meng Lijun Released After Being Tortured to the Brink of Death at the Liuchangshan Detention Center
Since the arrest of Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Meng Lijun on December 20, 2004, she has been detained at the Tianqiao District Police Department in Jinan City. She was later held at a police station and eventually transferred to the city's Liuchangshan Detention Center. Ms. Meng has protested the illegal arrest with two hunger strikes but was subjected to the Death Bed torture (called "Dragon Bed" in prison). Within one hour of this torture, one would be unable to bear the pain racking the entire body. Meng Lijun was tormented for six hours the first time, and as long as 24 hours the second time. All her bodily discharges were left on the bed. Moreover, during the process, Ms. Meng suffered savage force-feeding. With the assistance from eight inmates, the police force-fed her and sprayed unknown drugs into her mouth. Many of these people took turns forcibly feeding her. The feeding tube was full of black blood, yet they still did not stop the torture. Also, they raised the tube so that the food went directly into Ms. Meng's lungs, causing her breathing difficulties. Only when Ms. Meng was almost dead did they stop. Meng Lijun's two hunger strikes lasted ten days.
Later, after a medical consultation, they claimed that Ms. Meng's mind was unclear (her body had become extremely emaciated) and might result in a vegetative state. Therefore, after extorting some money from her family, the police released Meng Lijun on January 7.

8. [Yushu City, Jilin Province] A Falun Gong Practitioner Describes Being Forced to Do Heavy Manual Labor
On July 20, 1999, I was arrested and held in Yushu City's Detention Center. I was forced to do road construction work every day. I had to carry extremely heavy containers of soil. One time, warden Sun Zhifu filled a bag with soil and forced me to carry it. I managed to lift it up, but I almost fell down in the process. Fortunately, a fellow practitioner helped me. Later, I was sent to build a fishpond where I had to carry heavy bags of mud.
Warden Sun Zhifu and Gao Yong are very vicious. They forced practitioners to carry more bags and to run faster. As for a steadfast practitioner, the wardens would grab him, take him to a separate cell and secretly beat him. As of October 1, 1999, more than 150 practitioners were held there.
In 2000, after I went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa, the police held me at a local detention center for fifteen days. I was forced to get up early and sort beans. We were frequently forced to work until 3:00 a.m. and then get up at 6:00 a.m. Sorting beans makes money for the wardens. After fifteen days of detention, I was then held in Yushu City's Detention Center for over 20 days. Afterwards, I was sentenced to three years of forced labor because policeman Chen Xingguo, the Political & Security Section chief from the Yushu City Police Department, reported my case to his superiors.
