Falun Gong Practitioner Mr. Zeng Guozuo Has Died as a Result of Persecution

Practitioner Mr. Zeng Guozuo was a 54-year-old resident of Hunan Province. He was tortured during his detention in Xinkaipu Forced Labor Camp in Changsha City. Later, he was diagnosed with nasal cancer, but he was still detained another 7 months. In August 2005, fearing that Mr. Zeng was dying, his persecutors notified his local police station to pick him up. On September 18, 2005, 20 days after his release, Mr. Zeng passed away.

Mr. Zeng went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong and clarify the truth in May 2000. After that, the Shaodong County Police Department detained him three times. In July 2004, the police arrested him for clarifying the truth in Guilin City. After the persecutors in the Shaodong County Police Department took him back home, they tortured him severely. Mr. Zeng refused to give up Falun Gong, so he was sentenced to 2 years of forced labor and detained at Xinkaipu Forced Labor Camp in Changsha City.

At the end of April 2005, over 50 practitioners were detained at Xinkaipu Forced Labor Camp in Changsha City.

Ms. Xie Xiuying Severely Injured in Beating by Prison Guard Xiao Lin at the Harbin Women's Prison

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Xie Xiuying from Puyang Farm, Suibin County, Heilongjiang Province was abducted and illegally sentenced to three years of imprisonment in 2001 because she distributed truth clarifying materials. She was detained in Harbin Women's Prison, where she suffered severe torture. Each day she was forced to perform military drills and do slave labor. If she was not able to finish the required quota of forced labor, she was deprived of sleep and given little food. The prison guards beat, kicked, and shocked her with electric batons if her movements in the military drills did not comply with their requirements.

At the end of 2003, prison guard Xiao Lin ruthlessly kicked Xie Xiuying while torturing her. Her left leg became swollen from calf to thigh as a result of being kicked. The prison guards took her to No. 2 Hospital in Harbin for a medical examination, forcing her family members to deposit 5000 yuan for medical treatment and saying that her leg might be amputated. Xie Xiuying refused the amputation.

The injury on Xie Xiuying's left leg festered and abscessed not long after the prison guard kicked her.

The 610 Office's Special Case Group in Hengshui City Arrests 13 Falun Gong Practitioners

On the morning of June 16, 2005, Falun Gong practitioners from Hengshui City, Hebei Province accompanied practitioners Mr. Sun Liangsheng's and Kang Yanxiang's families to the Hengshui City 610 Office to ask for the unconditional release of their family members. Right after that, the Hengshui City 610 Office set up a "Special Case Group," and frenziedly arrested over 10 Falun Gong practitioners. It was Li Junqu, the Secretary of Hengshui City Communist Party Committee, and Zhang Zengliang and Wang Baojun, the Directors in charge of politics and law in the Municipal Committee, who ordered the creation of the 610 Office's Special Case Group that persecutes Falun Gong practitioners.

The Falun Gong practitioners who were arrested and sentenced are as follows: Mr. Sun Liangsheng, 40, an excellent teacher from the No.2 High School in Hengshui City, and Kang Yanxiang, 39, an employee of the Hengshui City Science Committee. Both of them have been persecuted many times. On the New Years Day of 2004, personnel from the Hengshui City 610 Office instigated the Hengshui City's Taocheng District Police Department to arrest Mr. Sun Liangsheng and Kang Yanxiang. After they were detained for 18 months, the court from the Taocheng District of Hengshui City fabricated some crimes and sentenced them to another four years in prison.

For a long time, Mr. Sun and Kang's families lost contact with them. On June 16, 2005, their families went to the Hengshui City 610 Office with other practitioners to inquire about their whereabouts and demand their unconditional release. In response to this, the Hengshui City 610 Office immediately set up the 610 Office's Special Case Group. Since June 16, using the pictures they secretly took of Falun Gong practitioners, they have arrested over 10 Falun Gong practitioners, including Mr. Sun's wife and Kang Yanxiang's brother .

On the afternoon of June 16, Special Case Group police officers Li Yibing and Zuo Tiehan went to the school where Mr. Sun's wife, Ms. Wen Shuqiao was and interrogated her. They arrested her a few days later. Mr. Sun and Ms. Wen's two high school daughters were left at home.

Meanwhile the Hengshui City 610 Office also instigated police officers to go to Zaoqiang and Ji County respectively and arrest Falun Gong practitioners who were involved in this "incident." They arrested practitioner Mr. An Dasheng from Zaoqiang. Only after they tortured him to the brink of death did they finally release him. Police officers also broke into the homes of practitioner Mr. Jiang Hongtu and another elderly practitioner. They attempted to arrest Jaing Hongtu, but in vain.

Mr. Kang Yansu, Mr. Kang Yanxiang's older brother, was a teacher at the Diwang School in Xuzhuang Township, Jizhou City. On June 16, he took their 84-year-old mother to the Municipal Committee 610 Office to inquire about his brother's situation. On June 21, the principal of his school asked Mr. Kang Yansu to deliver materials to the Educational Committee, thereby assisting the police with his arrest.

On June 23, Shang Wenling, Xia Shige and other practitioners from Xuzhuang Township, Jizhou City were arrested as well. Later, Xia Shengguo, Wang Pingjun and Zhu Xinkuan from Jizhong were arrested one after another.

In mid-July, Falun Gong practitioner Liu Ping from the No.2 People's Hospital in Hengshui City was arrested.

On August 5, practitioner Mr. Qi Zhengui, over 60, was arrested right after returning home from his trip to visit relatives in Northeast China.

On August 26, the police surrounded practitioner Ms. Yang Qiaoling's apartment. Ms. Yang stopped them from committing wrongful acts and then managed to escape. At about 11:30 p.m., on August 28, police officers broke into her home, but she wasn't there.

Thus far, there have been 13 Falun Gong practitioners arrested. All of them are held in the Hengshui City Detention Center. Also, they attempted to find out the organizer and person in charge of this incident. They accused Mr. Qiu Chaocang of being the organizer and intended to persecute him. They harassed Mr. Qin's family members and putting pressure on him and his family.

It was said that Li Junqu, the Secretary of the Municipal Committee, was very upset about this incident. He ordered that all of the practitioners who were involved be sentenced to a forced labor camp. He also planned and plotted the persecution of practitioners himself.

Chinese Authorities Issue Illegal Arrest Warrant, Forbid Liang Jinhui from Working with a Lawyer

Mr. Liang Jinhui, a Falun Gong practitioner and the brother of NTDTV Hong Kong journalist Liang Zhen, was detained illegally for 35 days. He was arrested under the order of the current Chinese Communist regime on August 23, 2005. The arrest warrant was issued unlawfully by the People's Procuratorate of Naxi District of Luzhou City. They delivered the warrant to the family members of Liang Zhen. For fear of being exposed, the warrant was not signed.

The family of Liang Zhen hired a lawyer. On August 24, 2005, the lawyer asked to see the person in charge. Gao, the person responsible for the cases of Liang Zhen's mother and brother in the National Security Division of Naxi District, Luzhou City, expressed the need to seek approval from higher authorities. Later the answer was that these cases involved "state secrets" and representation by a lawyer was forbidden during the investigation phase.

On July 19, 2005, Liang Jinhui and Yuan Yuju, mother of Liang Zhen, who is an American citizen and legal resident in Hong Kong, were unlawfully detained by the authorities in Luzhou City, Sichuan Province for practicing Falun Gong. Three computers and other personal belongings, valued at 20,000 yuan, were confiscated (later, one computer and a digital camera were returned). On August 17, Yuan Yuju was sentenced to one year in a forced labor camp. She is temporarily held in the detention center of Jiangyang District, Luzhou City. Liang Jinhui is still being held in the detention center of Luzhou City.

Mr. Liang Jinhui, 36, is a very honest person. Before practicing Falun Gong, Liang Jinhui suffered from a mental disorder. After practicing Falun Gong in 1994, he regained his health in 2001. He, however, still needs to take medicine periodically. Due to his knowledge of computers, the Chinese communist authorities unlawfully detained him for over a month and then arrested him. Currently, the family members are still forbidden to see him.

The person directly responsible for this case: Gao from the National Security Division, Naxi District, Luzhou City, 86-13982416316 (Cell). Falun Gong practitioners had clarified the truth to him several times, but he refused to listen.

Recently, the National Security Division of Naxi District, Luzhou City arrested 10 more local Falun Gong practitioners. Because overseas practitioners frequently made phone calls to clarify the truth, the division changed its phone number in the beginning of August and refuses to release the new number.

Ms. Wang Huimin, Art Director of the Huacheng Publishing House in Guangzhou, Sent to Brainwashing Center

On August 16, 2005, undercover police arrested practitioner Wang Huimin, the art director of Huacheng Publishing House in Guangzhou, and sent her to the Sanshui Brainwashing Center. To date they have not allowed her family to visit. What we understand of the arrest is that her co-workers saw her passing out truth clarifying VCDs and reported her to the police.

Ms. Wang Huimin is 43 years old and has been to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. She has been previously detained illegally in the 13th Division of Changping Police Department in Beijing, and Dongshan Detention Center in Guangzhou.

From November 2001 to April 30, 2003, she was tortured in the Chatou Labor Camp in Guangzhou, and in a Brainwashing Center run by the Dongshan District. On November 14, 2001, the labor camp guards dragged her to the 3rd Group Factory and cuffed her to the window for the whole night after they found her reciting Falun Gong articles. During May and June of 2002, those in charge of the Dongshan District Brainwashing Center emptied out room 206 to use for torturing practitioners. They would not allow the practitioners to sit or sleep. Wang Huimin was locked in there for nine days. The first night they tortured her the prison guards poured water into the room, locked the door and turned the radio all the way up. In April of 2003 she went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution. They finally let her go when her life was in danger.

The Persecution of Mr. Zou Chengmin from Jimo City, Shandong Province

Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Zou Chengmin from Jimo City, Shandong Province was gravely ill before practicing Falun Gong. His condition was such that he could have died at any moment. Fortunate to start practicing Falun Gong in 1997, he changed dramatically in both mind and body in just a few short months. He was still celebrating the second life Falun Gong gave to him when Jiang and his regime started the inhuman persecution and slandering of Falun Gong on July 20, 1999.

When the persecution first began, many Falun Gong practitioners in Jimo City went to sit in front of the government building to peacefully request the government to learn about Falun Gong positively. Jimo City police arrested more than ten Falun Gong practitioners, and released them around 1 p.m. after the practitioners clarified the truth to them with kindness in their hearts. Nevertheless, the police still did something very low; they asked each practitioner to write down their name and address, with the promise that the government would solve the problem. Since Falun Gong practitioners practice Truth-Compassion- Forbearance, each wrote down their real name and address. On the evening of the same day, the 610 Office took each of the practitioners into custody. Mr. Zou Chengmin was detained for one week and his Zhuan Falun book was taken away.

In June 2000, Mr. Zou Chengmin wrote to the chief of the police department to clarify the truth about Falun Gong. He wrote that the Jiang and Luo regime's persecution of Falun Gong is illegal, and that the Jimo City 610 Office and police are also acting against the law in persecuting Falun Gong. Mr. Zou told them that Falun Gong guides people towards goodness, improves health, has many benefits and brings no harm to the Chinese people. Three days later, he was arrested by the 610 Office and detained for 13 days. He was released because he held a hunger strike the entire time. During the detention, Mr. Zou was cruelly beaten. If he practiced Falun Gong exercises in the cell at night the prison guards would poke him with bamboo sticks, curse him, and prevent him from practicing.

On the New Year's Day of 2000, Mr. Zou Chengmin went to Beijing to clarify the truth and appeal for Falun Gong. He unfurled a self-made banner that said, "Falun Dafa is good!" and shouted from the bottom of his heart, "Falun Dafa is good! Falun Dafa is righteous!" Mr. Zou Chengmin was arrested, and being deceived by police at the Tiananmen Station, he wrote down his name and address again. The next day, the Jimo City Liaison Office in Beijing sent him to Jimo City Communist Party School (a brainwashing class), where 610 Office workers tried to use his family members to force him to give up practicing Falun Gong. He walked out of that place after being detained for four days.

In the autumn of 2001, on October 2, Mr. Zou Chengmin went to Beijing to clarify the truth again and was arrested on Tiananmen Square. He returned home after four days since he refused to cooperate with the evil.

Subsequently, Mr. Zou Chengmin was reported by a janitor for passing out truth-clarifying materials in a clothing market. Policemen Jiang Bo (male) and Sun Jusen (male), leading more than ten policemen, smashed his door window, broke into his home, took Teacher's photo and 16 Falun Gong books, and detained him in the Jimo City Detention Center. Mr. Zou Chengmin clarified the truth to the prison guards. One guard in his 60s often instructed a prisoner named Shi, (male, from Nanguan Village), to beat him. Mr. Zou was knocked unconscious on the second day.

In those 23 days that he was detained, Mr. Zou Chengming absolutely refused to cooperate with the evil, and went on a hunger strike the entire time. The 610 Office ordered four doctors and six prisoners to cuff his hands behind a chair, tie him on the chair with rope, and force-feed him highly concentrated salt solution. Mr. Zou refused to cooperate, and the prisoners pulled his hair backwards, causing him to choke many times and become unconscious. His heels were bleeding due to being dragged on the ground. His throat bled many times due to the brutal force-feedings. At night, prison guards asked prisoners to beat him, not allowing him sleep, and not allowing him to wear clothes even though it was only 20oF; they even poured cold water onto his body. In these 23 days, his weight reduced from 155 pounds to less than 110 pounds.

During both periods of detention, the 610 Office followed no legal procedures. One evening, the 610 Office workers abducted him, took him to Jimo Chinese Medicine Hospital, tied him inside a small room, and injected a poisonous drug that damages the central nervous system into his body. Mr. Zou suffered headaches, shivering, and weakness after being injected.

On February 27, 2002, Mr. Zou Chengmin was secretly abducted on the way to his friend's house by the 610 Office, and sent to Police Tongji Station. Policemen Jiang Bo and Sun Jusen took him to get a physical check up in the Jimo City Hospital. Mr. Zou Chengmin refused to cooperate with the evil, and shouted truth clarifying phrases in the hospital. Jiang and Sun were both scared, so they forced the doctor to write that Mr. Zou passed the test, and sent him to Licun Labor Camp. He was injected with an unknown drug in Licun Labor Camp.

Four Practitioners from Hebei, Liaoning and Hubei Provinces Who Died from Persecution

Ms. Liu Xinyun was a 28-year-old middle schoolteacher from Shenzhou, Hubei Province. After July 20, 1999, Jiang's regime started persecuting Falun Gong. Because Ms. Liu was steadfast in practicing Falun Gong, the Shenzhou 610 Office repeatedly detained her in detention centers and sent her to brainwashing classes to persecute her. At the last brainwashing class, Ms. Liu became mentally unstable. When her family members brought her home, police officers placed her under house arrest. She never recovered. In the summer of 2000, she jumped from a fourth floor balcony. She was seriously injured and paralyzed from the neck down. After a few months of suffering, she died.

Mr. Hao Chengshuan was a 51-year-old villager from Huoshui Village, Huoshui Town, Wuan City, Hebei Province. Before practicing Falun Gong he had many illnesses. After he practiced Falun Gong his entire body was healed. Beginning July 20, 1999, the 610 Office from the village went to his house and harassed him numerous times. He was extremely stressed and passed away on September 21, 2000.

Ms. Guan Shuyun was 82 years old. She lived in the Dayang Management District in Weichang, Yangquanzi, Panshan County, Panjin City, Liaoning Province. She went to Beijing on December 17, 2000, to clarify the truth about Falun Gong. When she returned home she continued to clarify the truth. Due to extended persecution, her living conditions were abominable. Later she got sick and died on November 4, 2004.

Mr. Liu Xuewen was 75 years old. He lived in the Qiaoko District of Wuhan City, Hebei Province. After he started practicing Falun Gong in 1994, he became very healthy and his thoughts became very clear. Even though he was over 70, his eyesight was very good. When he joined the group in reading Falun Gong books aloud, he didn't even need glasses. After July 20, 1999, the police often went to his house to harass him. Mr. Liu died at his son's home in Yunnan on January 30, 2003, from stress related-illness caused by the prolonged threats and intimidation.

1. Evil Deeds of Diao Kefu, the Formal Party Committee Secretary of the Oil Extraction Factory at the Shengli Oilfield, Shandong Province

Prior to the start of the persecution on July 20, 1999, Diao Kefu, Formal Party Committee Secretary of the Oil Extraction Factory at the Shengli Oilfield, used various methods to interfere with Falun Gong practitioners doing their Falun Gong exercises. When Jiang Zemin's regime began the unlawful persecution of Falun Gong, Diao used his authority to slander Falun Gong, and made up lies to confuse the public. He held team meetings of various levels and ordered each individual political or Chinese Communist Party (CCP) unit to try to control Falun Gong activities in their area of responsibility. He ordered thorough investigations of Falun Gong practitioners and compiled a list of their names; he organized and strictly controlled brainwashing sessions; he expropriated salaries and bonuses from Falun Gong practitioners; he carried out unlawful tracking, surveillance, and phone tapping of practitioners; and he ordered arrests and detentions of Falun Gong practitioners. He also implicated family members of practitioners, and told them they would lose their jobs if their relatives continued practicing Falun Gong.
