[Beijing, China] Highly Educated, Determined Practitioners Sent to the Tuanhe
Forced Labor Camp
Two practitioners, Mr. Sun Baoguo, a graduate student, and Mr. Wu Zhiping, a
post-doctoral instructor at the Nuclear Radiation Research Institution, have
suffered all kinds of brutal tortures in Taiyuan City's Xindian Forced Labor
Camp of Shanxi Province, simply because they are determined to cultivate Dafa.
In June 2001, officers in Taiyuan City's "610 Office" [An agency
specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each
level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary
systems] put these two practitioners into the Xindian Forced Labor Camp for
three years of forced labor. The two practitioners increased their determination
to cultivate Dafa and the police could do nothing to change their minds. In late
May of this year, police officers secretly took them to the Tuanhe Forced Labor
Camp, and the practitioners' current whereabouts are still unclear.
The brutal torture meted out to highly educated practitioners at the hands of
the Tuanhe Forced Labor Camp officials has been exposed many times before, such
as the cases of Mr. Zhao Ming, a Chinese student studying in Ireland, and Mr.
Lin Chengtao, an assistant research scientist at the Chinese Xiehe Medical
School Basic Science Institution. We hope that fellow practitioners and people
with a sense of justice all over the world will pay attention to this issue.
