Mr. Wang Tongchun works at the Jilin Oil Fields. He has been "unlawfully sentenced" to three years of forced labor and held at the Jiutai Forced Labor Camp in Jilin Province for his firm belief in Falun Dafa. Mr. Wang refused to write any statements renouncing Falun Gong. As a result, he has been placed under intense supervision and forced to sit on hard wooden planks for 18 hours every day. The labor camp guards assigned inmates to coerce him into giving up his belief. Around December 10, 2006, inmate Fu Haisen (male) inhumanly beat Mr. Wang, who refused to cooperate with brainwashing. Fu did not get punished for his brutal acts, and he even had his term reduced by 13 days. At present, Mr. Wang Tongchun is being held at the Bankaifang No. 1 Division in the Jiutai Labor Camp, where he has to sit on hard wooden planks each day. The persecution is ongoing.

In the wintertime, due to low temperature, cinder blocks could not be produced, since Jilin Province is in Northeastern China. Between November 2006 and February 2007, labor camp guards forced Mr. Zhang to sit on hard wooden planks for as much as 18 hours a day.

According to Clearwisdom.net's report on November 11, 2006, the authorities locked Mr. Yu Ming in a small room. Several inmates were assigned to torture him each day. They would face beatings conducted by labor camp guards if they did not torture Mr. Yu as they were assigned. Later, Mr. Yu Ming was tied to a bed permanently, and they force-fed him every day. When Mr. Yu Ming shouted "Falun Dafa is Good" the guards would play current music from a cassette player at the loudest volume to drown out Mr. Yu's voice. Xiao Zheng (male), the guard in charge of the persecution, gave Mr. Yu a large amount of sedative drugs. Mr. Yu ended up in a daze, unable to recognize day or night.
