Facts of the Persecution

1. Persecution of Dafa practitioners in Jing County, Hebei Province

On the afternoon of November 17, 2004, Dafa practitioners Zhao Xiulan and her sister-in-law Zhu Yuying, in Jing County, Hebei Province, went to Anzhuang to clarify the truth about Falun Dafa and the persecution. They were reported and abducted. The perpetrators sent them to Jing County's Detention Center. The two practitioners held a hunger strike for about six days in protest of the illegal arrest, and a police officer from Lian Town force-fed them. On the eighth day, Ms. Zhao and Ms. Zhu were sent to Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp, but the labor camp refused to take them after a routine physical exam showed them to be physically unfit. The perpetrators insisted on leaving Zhu Yuying at the labor camp and took Zhao Xiulan back. They phoned Zhao Xiulan's husband who had no idea of his wife's abduction, and ordered him to pay 2,000 yuan before taking her home.

On November 30, 2004, villagers Zhu Yuhai and Shi Hai from Zhujiaguan Village, Qinglan Township, Jing County, Hebei Province led officers Yang Wenzhuang, Li Guisheng and others from the Jing County Police Department to the homes of practitioners Zhu Hailiang, Zhu Liming and Zhu Xingzhong. The perpetrators ransacked their homes under the pretense that "someone reported the practitioners distributing truth clarification flyers." Zhu Liming's husband, Yan Jun, was illegally sentenced to 20 months in prison, and the perpetrators took away practitioner Zhu Xingzhong's Dafa books.

2. Dafa practitioner Huang Fenghua in Baoding City brutally tortured for her belief

In 2002, practitioner Huang Fenghua was arrested in Baoding City and was sent to the Hongxing Road Police Station. She was later sent to a forced labor camp. Upon arrival at the labor camp, Ms. Huang was forced to stand in a hallway for a few days; then she was forced to go to an office and squat on the floor while holding her head with both arms for one whole day. She succumbed to the pressure and renounced Dafa. Later, because she said, "Falun Gong is not an evil [slanderous term omitted]," the perpetrators took her to a small office and made her stand for four or five consecutive days and nights without allowing her to sleep. In response, Ms. Huang began a hunger strike. On November 15, 2004, the fourth day of her hunger strike, perpetrator Zhang Guohong said he wanted to talk to her, and tricked Huang Fenghua into going to the ground floor, where he force-fed her. Ms. Huang was very weak and the perpetrators tortured her on purpose. Because she was too weak to work at forced labor, Ms. Huang's sentence was extended by three months.

3. Recent persecution of Dafa practitioners at the Shandong Province Prison

Currently, more than 40 Dafa practitioners are being held at the Shandong Province Prison. They are under tremendous pressure, as the perpetrators force them to study "reform materials" and make them write reports on a daily basis. If their reports don't conform to the perpetrators' standards, the practitioners are made to re-write them. If the practitioners again write a different report than what the perpetrators want, the perpetrators place them under Level One Strict Control, under which the practitioner is cruelly tortured and mentally tormented.

Even practitioners in their 60s and 70s are not spared from the inhuman mistreatments. Sixty-two-year-old practitioner Huang Min from Jiamusi City was illegally sentenced to 20 years in prison. She has been placed under Level One Strict Control in Ward 11, where she is watched around the clock and does not have any personal freedom. As the Chinese New Year approaches, the situation has worsened.

4. Gansu Province Women's Prison is a demon's den

Most of the female Dafa practitioners illegally sentenced to prison in Gansu Province are held at the Gansu Province Women's Prison, including Wang Ailan, Zhang Jinmei, Tang Qong, Yi Xiaolan, Tan Hui, Liu Lanying and others. The perpetrators force the practitioners to do slave labor and provide them with very poor food. They don't allow the practitioners to rest, even after doing heavy labor; they brainwash the practitioners and deprive them of their personal freedom such as shopping, talking, getting water and meeting with their families. We hope the families of persecuted Dafa practitioners can hurry up and oppose the persecution along with other practitioners.
