Falun Gong Practitioner Zheng Shoujun from Liaozhong County, Shenyang City Badly Wounded by Police

Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Zheng Shoujun from Niuxintuo Village, Liaozhong County, Shenyang City is currently being held in a detention center in Liaozhong County. He does not cooperate with the evil and has been on hunger strike for 14 days. Recently his head was severely wounded by police brutality, but the detention center is covering up this news and refuses to provide treatment to him. They do not allow his family to visit him or to make any inquires about his case.

At about 9 p.m. on February 16, 2006, while distributing materials at Panjiabao, Mr. Zhen Shoujun and Mr. Qiu Qinghua were illegally arrested by police from Panjiabao Police Station. They were taken to a detention center in Liaozhong County on the following day. They refused to cooperate with the evil and have maintained righteous minds and righteous actions. They shouted, "Falun Dafa is good!" and were badly beaten by policeman Li Wei and others. In order to completely deny the evil persecution, they both refused to consume food and water.

Mr. Qiu Qinghua was in critical condition at the point when he was taken to Shenyang Zhangshi Forced Labor Camp on February 20. On the following day the police asked his family to take him home. Now, he has been forced to leave his home to avoid harassing visits from Li Wei (from the Political Security Team of the Police Department of Liaozhong County), the director of Panjiabao Police Station Zhu Dezheng, policeman Zhi Yong, Ding Guoqiang and other policemen. The authorities still try to force Mr. Qiu's family to tell them where he has gone.

Zheng Shoujun was once persecuted in Zhangshi Forced Labor Camp by the so-called "sudden brake" torture, wherein police kick Falun Gong practitioners in the head to have their heads knocked against the wall. Every kick and knock is called a "sudden brake." After being tortured in this way, Zheng's legs were immobilized for several months, leaving him to drag them around with great difficulty.

Sichuan Practitioner Ms. Zhu Junxiu Sentenced to Eight Years in Prison

Chengdu Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Zhu Junxiu was illegally sentenced to eight years in prison on March 6, 2006 by the Chengdu Jinniu District Court. Ms. Zhu had been persecuted so severely that she had to be carried to the court on someone's back.

Ms. Zhu Junxiu, 50 years old, is a practitioner from Chengdu, Sichuan Province. Because she practiced Falun Gong, she was arrested, imprisoned and persecuted many times. She suffered a great deal both physically and emotionally, and she also lost several million yuan.

On October 14, 2000, Ms. Zhu was arrested by plainclothes police officers from Xiaojiacun Police Station, where she stayed in a small, dark, cold cell for the following two nights.

On October 16, 2000, Ms. Zhu was held in the Chongzhou City Detention Center. The guards hit her in the face and temple, and pulled her hair. As a result, she lost consciousness twice. Four days later, she was transferred to the Huaiyuan City Police Station. For 40 days, she was kept in a dark room without windows but with urine and excrement all over the floor. The police did not allow her to wash up or use the restroom. Chengdu Police Department officials illegally sentenced her to one year of forced labor and sent her to Nanmushi Women's Forced Labor Camp. She was persecuted there for eight months.

In November 2005, Ms. Zhu went to the relevant departments to demand the return of 200,000 yuan, which had been illegally confiscated. She was arrested again and persecuted by the authorities. On March 6, she was sentenced to eight years in prison.

The persecution that Ms. Zhu Junxiu was subjected to was recorded in part in an article published on August 26, 2004 in Clearwisdom.net: (http://www.minghui.ca/mh/articles/2004/8/26/82620.html)

Partial accounts of her persecution have been put on record by the United Nations.

Detained in a Forced Labor Camp for Three Years, Practitioner Mr. Li Wenming from Shanxi Province Is Still Being Persecuted

Because of Mr. Li Wenming's insistence in his Falun Gong practice, the authorities have persecuted him since July 20, 1999, when the CCP started the persecution. In November 1999 and December 2000, he went to Beijing to appeal and was detained twice. Between January 2001 and November 2005 he was detained many times. Those responsible were from the Yunquan Police Station, the detention center, the Xiazhai Forced Labor Camp in Datong, the Xindian Forced Labor Camp in Taiyuan, the Second Detention Center, the Shanxi Province First Prison, and others. He was only able to be home for eight months between February and November 2002. When he returned in November 2005, his workplace still persecuted him and didn't pay him a salary, so he lost his source of income.

On November 14, 1999, Mr. Li was arrested again when he went to Beijing to appeal. He was able to escape, but on his way home a security person from his workplace who happened to be on the train recognized him. Mr. Li was sent to the Xihuayuan Police Station. He wasn't able to go home until after 38 days in the police station.

On December 20, 2000, Mr. Li went to Beijing again to appeal and was arrested by the police at Tiananmen Square. Two days later he was sent to the Hebei Province Liaison Office in Beijing and later released.

Right after the 15th day of the first month of the lunar year of 2001, Mr. Li was taken to the Security Section at his workplace. Those responsible were Zhen De and others from the Security Section. After Zhen beat Mr. Li brutally, Zhen sent him to the Yunquan District Police Department. Several officials, including the section chief of the police department and the 610 Office head Yong Junfeng, used an electric baton on Mr. Li, even in his mouth and on his penis. On the third day he was tortured all night long. Then he was sent to the Mine Detention Center. Guard Liu Jiang and several inmates beat Mr. Li. He was held in the detention center for three months. On May 27, he was sent to the Xingdian Forced Labor Camp in Taiyuan and was abused there for over a year. The abuse included corporal punishment, being forced to stand for long periods of time, sleep deprivation, and other methods. Guards Wang Xing and others were involved in this. On February 17, 2002, Mr. Li Wenming returned home.

After he returned, he was not spared from the persecution. He was followed every day. He was not allowed to return to work and he received no pension.

On November 9, 2002, three people, including Xihuayuan Police Station chief Zhang and others, showed up to search Mr. Li's house and arrest him. He was sent to the district police department, where he was handcuffed to a chair and several guards beat him with electric batons. During the night of November 11, the guards dragged him down to the basement, took off his clothes, and handcuffed him to a metal chair. Guard Wang Shan beat him using electric batons. Liu Yi, Zhang Ji, and Kang from the 610 Office were present. They beat him and injured his penis. Four guards held his legs down and beat him from 7:00 p.m. until after 11:00 p.m.

After being detained in the Second Detention Center for 15 months, Mr. Li was sent to the First Prison in Shanxi Province. The guards there incited criminal inmates such as Zhao Junfeng and others to beat and choke Mr. Li. They forbade him bathroom use and deprived him of sleep. They forced him to stand. Between July and September 2004, they beat him every day because he refused to be "reformed." From 8:00 a.m. till midnight, if he didn't stand and tried to sit, he would be beaten.

After being grossly abused and tortured for three years in the forced labor camp, Mr. Li Wenming returned home in November 2005. So far his employers have refused to hire him back and have not paid him one penny. The persecution is continuing.

Urgent Rescue of Mr. Kong Lingxin from Xi'an City Needed

According to an internal source, in early March 2006, Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Kong Lingxin, an employee of the Xi'an city government, was secretly arrested by policemen from Xi'an City Police Department without any justification. Police officers ransacked his home, arrested him, and left his cell phone on in hopes of arresting more practitioners.

Mr. Wang Liang and Ms. Ji Shuhua from Hubei and Hebei Provinces Missing

Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Wang Liang (alias) is from Hubei Province. He graduated from the Chemistry Department of Shanghai Normal University in 1999. He had to leave home and become destitute after July 20, 1999 to avoid being arrested at home. He was taken in by fellow practitioners in Hebei Province in 2002. He became a laborer, seeking jobs in Shandong Province together with fellow practitioners from Hebei Province. In the winter of 2004, policemen from Yantai City arrested him because he didn't have any personal ID. His employer bailed him out, but he went missing on the way from Yantai City to Shijiazhuang City in Hebei Province.

Practitioner Ms. Ji Shuhua lived in Xuzhuang Village, Jianqiao Township, Fucheng County, Hebei Province. She went to Beijing to appeal on behalf of Falun Gong, was arrested, and then sentenced to forced labor. After being released, she had to leave home and get a labor job because her family was strongly against her practicing Falun Gong. She was fired several times and has been missing since 2005.

He Xiuling's Husband Appeals to the United Nations to Investigate Her Death

My wife, He Xiuling, was persecuted to death by the Yantan Zhifu Detention Center, the Yantan City 610 Office, and Yuhuangdi Hospital at 7:30 a.m. on March 11, 2004, because she refused to give up her belief.

Before my wife died, officials used all kinds of dirty, cruel, and inhumane methods to torture her. After her death, I brought her final medical report from Yuhuangdi Hospital to some experts for their opinions. They told me that they needed the original medical records, because the summary medical report did not describe the origin of the hydrocephalus or how the spinal puncture procedure caused her death. I asked for the original records from the hospital many times but the administrators refused to give them to me. Other family members and I asked the medical examiner to examine her body, but the medical examiners from the Shandong Province Police Department, the Shandong Province Public Prosecutor, and Shandong Justice Bureau all helped to conceal the truth about the persecution. They were afraid to give us the report. In the end the Shandong Province Public Prosecutor even removed her original medical records from the hospital.

On February 9, 2006, I went to view my wife's body, but different levels of CCP officials prevented me from seeing her. Later, I tried several more times, but they refused me. On February 23, 2006, I contacted Director Gao from the Shandong Province Police Department again asking to view my wife's body. He replied that the request had been sent to the city office and no answer had come back yet.

It is my right to view my wife's body. The CCP officials, however, colluded with each other and refused to accept any written documents or fingerprints as proof. I appeal to the United Nations to investigate the death of my wife, so that injustice can be revealed and evil can be exposed to the world. I hope that injustice like this never happens again.

Zhu Junxiu from Chengdu City Illegally Sentenced to Eight Years of Imprisonment

Zhu Junxiu, former auditor of the National Tax Bureau of Qingyang District, Chengdu City, was arrested by the Chengdu City Police Department's Jinniu Station under false charges in October 2005. Since then, she has been imprisoned in the Detention Center of the Chengdu City Police Department. Recently, Zhu Junxiu was illegally sentenced to eight years of imprisonment by the Jinniu District Court. When the verdict was announced, Zhu Jiuxiu was already unable to walk normally and had to be carried into the courtroom.

Even though we are not very sure what kind of brutal torture befell Zhu Junxiu, what we do know is that Zhu's body is currently very weak and that she is on the brink of death.

Since the persecution of Falun Gong began in 1999, Ms. Zhu Junxiu has suffered many years of persecution. In 2000, when Falun Gong came under attack, Zhu went to Beijing to clarify the truth to the government. The Police Department arrested and detained her. Without any reason, or opportunity for her to explain, she was deprived of her rights to appeal to the government and dismissed from her job.

Under these circumstances, unable to appeal through normal means, Zhu Junxiu was again arrested by the Police Department while clarifying the truth to locals at the end of 2000. She was sent to the Nanmu Temple Women's Labor Camp in Zizhong City along with criminals and drug addicts for a year, where she suffered numerous physical and psychological torture. She was forced to stand upright facing the wall for dozens of days without rest, was not allowed to speak, and was imprisoned in her jail cell for long periods of time and not permitted to move.

Not long after she was released from labor camp, the local policemen tried to barge into her house after she clarified the truth to her neighbor. Zhu Junxiu refused to open the door and was kept in her house for several days at home by the police. Faced with no choice, Zhu tore up the sheets on her bed, tied them into a rope and slid down from the 7th floor. She was severely injured when she fell.

When her injury barely began to improve, Zhu was tricked by the Xiaojia Village Police Station. Both Zhu and her husband were arrested and imprisoned. This imprisonment brought huge damage to Zhu's body. She was subjected to brutal beatings and physical interrogation. She was not allowed to sleep for nine days and nine nights with strong lights shining directly at her eyes - whenever she closed her eyes, she would be beaten immediately. Towels stained with polluted, dirty water were used to pull up her eyelids and the dirty water squeezed into her eyes. Her head was covered with a plastic bag until she almost passed out before the bag was removed. She was subjected to these tortures over and over again.

Zhu Junxiu underwent a hunger strike to protest against the persecution and suffered force-feeding inside the prison. She was tortured to the brink of death before the police allowed her family members to bail her out and await trial. Zhu's body never recovered all along these eight, nine months of brutal persecution. She could not see things clearly for a prolonged period of time. She also fainted several times. Her husband was illegally sent to labor camp for three years, and two of his family-run factories and construction companies were destroyed by the Police Department. She lost more than 10 million yuan as a result, not to mention the decades of hard work by her husband that were ruined overnight. 200,000 yuan cash owned by Zhu was also confiscated by the Jinniu Police Department. Between September and October 2005, Zhu tried to ask for the money back from the Jinniu Police Department, but she was arrested and now is sentenced to eight years of imprisonment.

What Zhu Junxiu has faced over the past few years is a real life depiction of the brutality of the evil Chinese Communist Party's persecution of Falun Gong and Falun Gong practitioners. It is an example of the numerous victims who suffered under the evil policy of "bankrupt them financially, defame their reputations, and destroy them physically."

They are between the ages of 25 and 40 years old. Since they protested against the persecution, and they did not co-operate with the evil (they would not tell them their real names and refused to wear the prison uniforms). Guard Song Bin instigated a prisoner named Dong Shuang in Cell 214 to strip off these four practitioners' clothes and force the practitioners to stand at the door and the window of the cell facing outside, so that male prisoners who were walking around the hallway and the court yard could see them.

The practitioners were tortured in such a cruel way but they still refused to co-operate with the evil's request. As a result, Dong Shuang instigated the other prisoners to beat the practitioners ceaselessly until the practitioners were bruised and lacerated. Ms. Li Hongzhong and Ms. Yu Zhen were beaten until they lost consciousness and were sent to the hospital for rescue. Later, those villains forced the practitioners to use toilet water to brush their teeth and drink. The prisoner guard named Song Bin instigated Dong Shuang from the No. 214 Cell and Feng Yajie from Cell 215 to control the practitioners' money, and spend the money freely as they liked.
