By a Falun Dafa practitioner from Panjin City, Liaoning Province

(Clearwisdom.net) On December 6, 2005, the Minghui/Clearwisdom website reported the news of six Falun Dafa practitioners from Panjin City in Liaoning Province being arrested, held, and tortured in the newly built Panjin City Detention Center. Based upon the local news, five of the practitioners, Ms. Su Yan, Ms. Liu Shaoman (in her sixties, a retired elementary school teacher), Ms. Xie Dong, Ms. Wu Xuehui, and Ms. Zhou Yanhong have already been secretly sent to the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp.

These practitioners have been protesting the arrest by staging a hunger strike ever since they were illegally arrested on November 22, 2005. Their physical conditions are very weak. However, the authorities still took them to the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp. Each of the practitioners was illegally sentenced to one or two years of forced labor. Ms. Su Yan was sentenced to two years, while the other four practitioners were sentenced to one year of forced labor. Disabled Falun Dafa disciple Ms. Zhang Guorong was tortured until she was vomiting blood. She was held for four days and illegally sentenced to one year of forced labor before she was released for medical treatment.

Below is additional information about other illegally detained Falun Dafa practitioners from Panjin City:

Practitioner Mr. Zhang Tinghuan from the Liaohe River Oil Field Petrochemical Company is being held in Panjin City. More detailed information awaits further investigation.

Practitioner Mr. Guo Yulong from Panjin City was arrested and illegally held in the Shenxin Forced Labor Camp located in the Yuhong District of Shenyang City. He was sentenced to one year of forced labor. Mr. Guo and his family's appeal has been ignored, and they have nowhere else to appeal. The Chinese Communist Party Political and Judicial Department of Shenyang City and the Forced Labor Committee in Liaoning Province have rejected the case under the excuse of "cases related to Falun Gong cannot be re-opened."

Practitioner Mr. Gao Dong, who worked as an engineer at the Zhenxing Company, is about forty years old. In August and September of 2005, Mr. Gao was again taken to the Luotaishanzhuang Brainwashing Center to be tortured. He was tied up and handcuffed onto a bed, where he was force-fed and given injections for over three months. Since November 1999, in the past six years, Mr. Gao Dong has spent most of his time in detention centers, forced labor camps (in Panjin City and Benxi City), brainwashing centers (in Fushun City) and psychiatric hospitals, where he has been tortured in a variety of ways. Currently, he is being illegally held in the Fushan City Brainwashing Center. Mr. Gao was initially held in the Liaohe River Oil Field Detention Center and later was taken to the Panjin City Forced Labor Camp. At the end of 2002, because of an extended hunger strike, Mr. Gao was tortured to the brink of death before he was released. Shortly afterwards, he was taken to the Luotaishanzhuang Brainwashing Center of Fushun City and later again taken to the Benxi City Forced Labor Camp. At the end of 2003, Mr. Gao was tortured until he lost consciousness and was no longer able to take care of himself. Later, he was sent to the psychiatric hospital, where he is still being tortured.

We call for all people in the world to extend your helping hand to rescue these practitioners.
