Soon after he was released in 2006, he was arrested again and sentenced to another five years in prison. He was detained in the Fifth Division of Jinshi Prison. The guards ordered other prisoners to torture him, both physically and mentally. Mr. Lu was handcuffed and shackled for a long time. In 2009, under the guards’ orders, several prisoners held him and force-fed him with feces. As a result of the vicious persecution, Mr. Lu became very thin and his face looked yellowish. Later on, he was sent to a hospital. His current situation is unknown.

Mr. Peng Shaohui from Yueyang, Hunan Province was arrested in 2006 and sentenced to seven years in prison. He was detained in the Second Division of Jinshi Prison. Wang Jun, the guard team leader, poured cold water on him in the winter, which soaked his clothes and turned to ice. He was tortured in this manner for more than 10 hours. The guards also instigated other prisoners to punch and kick him. In 2010, guards Li Bairong and Mei Shuangyue ordered several prisoners to force-feed him for several months. His mouth bled and he vomited blood as a result. Due to the persecution, Mr. Peng became very thin and now only weighs about 90 pounds.

Afterward, guards Liu Keyan and Song Xianfeng ordered several prisoners to force-feed him for more than one month. A healthy, strong young man was reduced to an emaciated state and now weighs about 90 pounds as a result of the brutal persecution.
