Facts of the Persecution

1. The Corruption of Masanjia Labor Camp Director Su Jing

Masanjia Labor Camp director Su Jing (female) is very loyal to the Jiang regime in the persecution of Falun Gong. In the past five years, countless Falun Dafa practitioners have been tortured to death, or into a mindless stupor, disabled, or suffered nervous breakdowns. Masanjia received many awards from Jiang and his regime for its cruelty toward Falun Dafa practitioners. Su Jing personally received large bonuses for her role. She also uses Falun Dafa practitioners, detained in the Women's Second Ward, to make money for herself. She forces Falun Dafa practitioners to do extra heavy labor, and accepts more orders from customers than can reasonably be fulfilled. Practitioners have to work eighteen to twenty hours every day. Fifty to seventy percent of the profit go directly to Su Jing, and only thirty percent is paid to the camp. For instance, merchants pay one yuan for each product made, and give Su .5 to .7 yuan under the table.

2. Return of the Prodigal Son by Cultivating Falun Dafa; Being a Good Person Led Him to Jail

Mr. Chen Guangwu is thirty-five years old, and lives in Yanji City, Jilin Province. He was a thief. After practicing Falun Dafa, he found the purpose of life, corrected his bad habits, and truly became a good person. In November 2001, the police from the Beishan Substation arrested him when he was writing Falun Dafa truth clarifying words outside on a banner. The police tortured him and sentenced him to one year in a labor camp. After he was released, he wrote his personal story about what he had witnessed inside the labor camp. He described how Falun Dafa practitioners were tortured there for passing out flyers to people, so people would learn the truth about Falun Gong and no longer be deceived. On August 15, 2004, he was arrested when posting a flyer near the city police station. The police issued a warrant for his arrest on September 15 and sent his file to the Yanji City Procuratorate.

3. Urgent Rescue Needed for Falun Dafa Practitioner Ms. Wang Yuling

In August 2002, Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Wang Yuling from Dongfeng County, Liaoyuan City, Jilin Province was sentenced to thirteen years in prison. The Changchun City Third Detention Center tried to send her to prison twice, but she was rejected both times due to her physical condition. The first time, the Third Detention Center bribed doctors with gifts, but because she was dying, the doctors still would not accept her. The second time, the police lied to her and said they were taking her to see the doctors at the city hospital, when in fact they were on the way to the prison. She had a bad heart attack, her limbs were becoming stiff, and so she was rejected again. She was sent to the labor camp hospital, where the doctors rejected her once more because they could not detect any blood pressure. Then they sent her to the Chinese-Japanese Friendship Hospital, for a venous catheter procedure. The Third Detention Center wanted to release her on medical parole, but the Chaoyang District Court refused. It was in March 2003, that police took her back to the Third Detention Center after she had been in intensive care for three days at the hospital. She was not recovering well at the Third Detention Center. Then on April 8, she was sent to the Provincial Labor Camp Hospital, where she stayed for five and a half months. On January 7, 2004, she was again returned to the prison but failed the physical examination, and was hospitalized in the labor camp hospital for six months.

4. Falun Dafa Practitioner Mr. Qi Mingli was Arrested One Day Before His Wedding and Sentenced to a Labor Camp

Six months ago, Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Qi Mingli was arrested the day before his wedding, and he is being tortured inside the Jinzhou City Labor camp. He has scabies all over his body.

May 2, 2004, was supposed to be Mr. Qi Mingli's wedding day, but on May 1, 2004, policemen from the Jinzhou State Security stormed into his home, dragged him out of bed, forcibly handcuffed him, punched and kicked him, and then arrested him. Two days later, the police detained him in the Jinzhou First Detention Center. From the moment he was arrested, Mr. Qi never cooperated with the police. He refused to sign his name on any regret letters (saying he regretted practicing Falun Gong), and went on a hunger strike to protest. When his physical body was very weak, the police sent him to a brainwashing session held in Luotaishanzhuan in Fushun City. Since he was too weak, the brainwashing center refused to take him. The State Security Police had to take him back, and transferred him to the Taihe District Police Station, where he was sentenced to three years in a labor camp. Currently, Mr. Qi Mingli's legs are very possibly disabled from the torture, and his scabies is very serious.

5. Persecution in the Mudanjiang City Prison in Heilongjiang Province

Currently there are more than one hundred Falun Dafa practitioners jailed in the Mudanjiang City Prison. Among them, ten arrived in 2004 and have been tortured the most severely. They are Mr. Wu Yaorong, Mr. Zhang Tao, Mr. Liu Jun, Mr. Wang Xinjun, Mr. Jin Jianfeng, Mr. Kang Yuncheng, Mr. Sun Dengchao, Mr. Lu Zhenjiang, Mr. Hou Runzhong, Mr. Yao Guocai, Mr. Gao Yunxiang (from Hailin City, Heilongjiang Province), Pang Shixing (from Qitaihe City, Heilongjiang Province), Mr. Zhang Dewen, and Mr. Liu Deyuan. Their use of the toilet and access to drinking water was severely restricted. Prisoners constantly beat them, even breaking the wooden boards they used to beat them. Once, Mr. Jin Jianfeng's mouth bled badly after a beating. The prisoners often beat Mr. Pang Shixing. In June 2004, Mr. Pang was brutally beaten because he refused to succumb to the brainwashing. He was tortured by being locked in a small cell (1) for more than two months. During a "forced brainwashing" period in August 2004, Falun Dafa practitioners were deprived of the right to sleep for six straight days. They went on a hunger strike to protest, and the guards attacked them in anger. Disabled Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Yu Qinghai was shocked by prisoners using electric batons. In December 2004, policeman Zhang Lichun locked practitioner Mr. Sun Dianshan in solitary confinement (2) while wearing only ankle shackles and his underwear during freezing temperatures. At the end of December, practitioner Gong Guidong was also locked in solitary confinement. The police would not allow practitioner Mr. Li Fengquan to sleep and incited other prisoners to beat him. He could not walk due to exhaustion and passed out. The police in the Shuidian Prison forced two Falun Dafa practitioners to stay on sitting boards (3) every day. Prisoners continuously monitored them to make sure they remained motionless and awake.

(1) Small cell: The detainee is locked up in a very small one-person cell. The guards handcuff practitioners behind their backs in a fixed position, in which the practitioners can neither stand up nor lie down. The small cell is very damp and no sunshine comes in. Detainees have to urinate and defecate in the cell. Only half of a regular meal is served to detainees locked up in a small cell during the daytime. During the night the rats are running around. The stench in the small cell is so bad that it is difficult to breathe.

(2) Solitary Confinement: "Being confined in a solitary compartment" refers to locking up a single detainee in a solitary cell, which contains a basin and a pair of handcuffs. The basin is used both for face washing and relieving the urine and bowels. One end of the handcuffs fastens the wrist and the other end attaches to the door railing. The handcuffs can be fastened onto the door railing at three different heights. In the highest position, the detainee must always extend his/her arm upward. The middle position is at waist level. In the lowest position, the detainee must always sit on the ground.

(3) Sitting Board: Every day, practitioners put their hands on top of their laps, with backs straight, and sat on benches 18 hours per day. This continued for over fifty days. The authorities even limited practitioners' restroom use time. Because of the long time spent sitting on hard benches, practitioners' buttocks developed large sores that hurt badly. Practitioners could not even urinate normally because of the pain. The labor camp was very damp, and the police would not allow practitioners to have air ventilation or the chance to get some sunlight. Because they were locked up for so long, countless red scabies grew over the practitioner's entire body; they were incomparably itchy and painful.
