Facts of the Persecution

1. Mr. Liu Weiji Recounts Persecution He Experienced in Hebei Province's No. 4 Prison

Mr. Liu Weiji went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong but was arrested and sent to the Shunyi Police Station in Beijing. In freezing cold winter, police made him stand outside without any clothes on for over seven hours. They even poured cold water on him. In the Hebei Province No. 4 Prison Mr. Liu suffered even more inhuman treatment. He was savagely beaten, deprived of sleep, denied access to water and use of a toilet. The police hit his private parts with the corner of a stool, pinched his muscles, twisted his arms and hung him up with arms stretched behind him, and committed other atrocities.

2. Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioner Ke Xingguo, an Employee from the Ministry of Agriculture

Mr. Ke Xingguo was sentenced to seven years in prison. For a long period of time he was jailed at the Shenzhou City Detention Center in Hebei Province. Mr. Ke held a hunger strike three times to protest the persecution, with the longest period lasting 23 days. The police there cuffed his hands behind his back, forced him to work with shackles on, and force-fed him, leaving the feeding tube in his body. They used various methods to torture him. He was often subjected to violent beatings from the police and the prisoners. They even hung him upside down by a pool of excrement. But no matter how cruel the treatment he received, Mr. Ke remained steadfast in his belief in Falun Dafa.

3. Illegal Sentencing of Three Falun Gong Practitioners from Jixi City, Heilongjiang Province

Ms. Sun Jinkui, Mr. Zhang Yuezeng and Ms. Wang Lianqin are Falun Gong practitioners from Jixi City, Heilongjiang Province. They are 51, 48 and 47 years old, and they were illegally sentenced to 7, 8 and 6 years in prison, respectively. On July 13, Ms. Sun and Ms. Wang were sent to Heilongjiang Province Women's Prison. The three practitioners have appealed to the mid-level People's Court in Jixi City but the court groundlessly refused to hear their cases.

4. Changyi County 610 Office Police from Shandong Province Again Abducts Six Falun Gong Practitioners

Chen Xiaodong, a division head, and Liu Xinmin, a police officer from Changyi County's 610 Office in Weifang City, Shandong Province, got resources from city police departments and police stations of each town. On July 26 they launched a grand scale arrest action of Falun Gong practitioners in every town and village. Six practitioners including Ms. Ma Guizhen, Gao Heping, and two sisters named Zhang and Tang Ruifen were arrested again and their homes were illegally searched. From April to July, police continuously arrested Falun Gong practitioners on a large scale. Each time they dispatched police who handle criminal cases. Since 2001, Chen Xiaodong has constantly issued orders to arrest and detain Falun Gong practitioners and ransack their homes. He extorted money from practitioners, their families and relatives, amounting to thousands of yuan, sometimes more than ten thousand yuan. He has violently beaten and ordered his subordinates to torture Falun Gong practitioners. On one occasion the painful cries of practitioner Xie Wenliang being beaten could even be heard in the court outside the detention center.

5. Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners at the Guizhou Women's Forced Labor Camp

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Chen Guihong suffered various illnesses from persecution. She currently cannot walk, eat or think clearly. She is very thin and at the brink of death. The Guizhou Women's Forced Labor Camp authorities have subjected older and weaker practitioners, some even over 70 years old, to various mental torment and physical tortures. On both hot summer days and snowy winter days, practitioners have been verbally abused without stopping every noon time. They are forced to squat half way down outside. Some fainted in the hot sun, and some lost the feeling in their extremities, or even lost consciousness due to the freezing cold. When 63-year-old Falun Gong practitioner Zuo Zuxiu was sent to forced labor a second time she firmly refused to be reformed. As the result, police made her stand still continuously for more than ten hours, day and night. In the end she developed edema all over her body. She could not walk a single step and had to soak her feet in salt water for long hours. She also was unable to eat and had to receive constant injections and medication. Despite her medical condition she was not released until her term expired.
