A sad incident occurred recently at the No. 4 Middle School in the Hanting District of Weifang City. In February, three art students from the senior class at the high school and one graduate student from a university in Jinan City all died from carbon dioxide poisoning. The three high school students had all studied with Ms. Li Guifeng. Everyone said that if Ms. Li had been there, such an incident would not have happened.

Ms. Li Guifeng, a Falun Gong practitioner, was very careful how she educated her students. She taught them to be good students, to learn from good people, and not to learn "Deception, Viciousness and Violence" from the CCP. Parents all secretly praised Ms. Li for her excellence in educating and nurturing their children. When Ms. Li ran into two former students, she talked to them about the "Three Withdrawals:" withdrawal from the CCP, withdrawal from the CCP Youth League, and withdrawal from the CCP Young Pioneers. An elderly man walked over from quite a long distance away and said loudly, "Listen to your teacher. Do what your teacher tells you to do." These two students were happy to withdraw from the CCP Youth League. Over the past year, Ms. Li helped many people withdraw from the CCP, the CCP Youth League, and the CCP Young Pioneers, allowing those lives to be saved.

In January 2006, when Ms. Li was persuading someone to do the "Three Withdrawals," she was reported to the police by a student's parents. The 610 Office arrested her and took her to the Weifang City Detention Center. She was illegally sentenced to forced labor and is now in the Jinan City Forced Labor Camp. Because of this, the children who just started at the school did not have anyone to take care of them, leading to the above-described sad incident.

Lei Minzhu is a police officer in Jin City, Hunan Province. He has committed major sins in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. Once he used an iron rod to stab a practitioner's nose, causing this practitioner, Mr. Xiang Yan from Jin City, to bleed so profusely that he had to be sent to the hospital for emergency care.

In 2005, Lei also arrested two practitioners from Changde City, hung them up, and used all kinds of brutal torture methods on them until they were almost dead.

After his brutality was exposed on the Minghui/Clearwisdom website, he still boasted, "I was originally from the village. It was because I persecuted Falun Gong that I managed to move up to my current position. I tell you, if I kill one Falun Gong practitioner, my supervisor will give me 50,000 yuan."

The authorities in Jin City installed monitoring devices in practitioner Ms. Wang Yaoyu's house. They arrested every practitioner that went to her house. Many practitioners were arrested through tapped phones.

The arrested practitioners all suffered brutal torture. However, those police officers who persecuted practitioners along with Lei Minzhu said, "Although we admit that we were cruel, in comparison to Lei Minzhu, what we did was very minor. His methods were so brutal that they made us tremble."

From March 2004 to January 2005 the warden of the second team, first ward of Harbin Women's Prison applied the "Hang up" torture method to persecute Falun Gong practitioners. Hang up is one of over a hundred different torture methods that the Chinese Communist Party uses to persecute Falun Gong practitioners. During this torture, Falun Gong practitioners' hands are handcuffed and then pulled from behind the back and hung up on a hook high above the ground. The feet are made to hang just above the floor. Practitioners that are hung up frequently have reported passing out from the pain.

Harbin Women's Prison is responsible for the following crimes:

In May 2005, police officers Deng Yu and Hu Yuqing gave criminal prisoners the order to beat more then 10 Falun Gong practitioners. Everyone was brutally beaten and many places on their body turned black and blue.

The first ward of Harbin Women's Prison is just one place, and "Hang up" is just one of the torture methods used to persecute Falun Gong practitioners. Along with the advancement of the Fa-rectification, all cases of persecution against Falun Gong practitioners will be exposed.

In 2003, the Jinchuan District Court illegally sentenced practitioner Mr. Hao Jun, from Gulang County, Gansu Province, to four and a half years of imprisonment simply because he practiced Falun Gong and upheld his belief in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. The authorities have been persecuting him at Lanzhou Prison.

Hao Jun

With a college degree, Mr. Hao Jun, 48, once worked for the Bureau of Real Estate Taxation in Jinchang City as an Associate Director of a bureau branch. He started to practice Falun Gong back in 1998. After he started to practice, illnesses that had troubled him for many years disappeared and he became a healthy person again.

On August 24, 2000, Mr. Hao was clarifying the truth when the police arrested him. On November 23, the authorities in Jinchang City sentenced him to two years of forced labor. When he was taken to Pingantai Forced Labor Camp of Lanzhou City on December 11, he was diagnosed with pleurisy. Due to his poor health, the labor camp authorities at first refused to accept him. Although he was released for medical treatment, the authorities picked him up again on January 2, 2001, and put him in the detention center. They later got him admitted to the Pingantai Forced Labor Camp.

On May 30, 2003, Jinchuan Branch Police Department officers arrested Hao Jun once again. On September 4, the Junchuan District Court sentenced him to four and half years' imprisonment. Mr. Hao was first imprisoned at Lanzhou Prison in December, but in March of the following year, he was taken to the 2nd Squadron of the 5th Group of Wuwei Prison for further persecution. Because he refused to give up his practice, the prison guards forced him to do intensive labor. Mr. Hao refused to cooperate and was forced to hold a hunger strike to protest the persecution. In revenge, the guards hung him up, but Mr. Hao managed to escape the handcuffs and shout, "Falun Dafa is good." His righteous actions stunned the guards.

After the extended mental and physical persecution, Hao Jun suffered sciatica in June 2005. He often could not stand up after squatting down.

On December 1, 2005, the authorities transferred all 20 practitioners imprisoned at Wuwei Prison to Jiuquan Prison for further persecution. Although it appears that the practitioners are no longer forced to work and are no longer beaten or scolded in Jiuquan Prison, their persecution is more concealed because the authorities purposely prevent the practitioners from sleeping for extended periods of time. In particular, they kept Mr. Hao from going into sleep for eight days and other practitioners for as long as 12 days.

Police arrested and brutally tortured Mr. Xin Minduo and his wife Ms. Bao Juncen on August 3, 2005. On September 12, 2005, they were illegally sentenced to 13 and 12 years in prison respectively by the district court of Xinglongtai District, Panjing City, Liaoning Province. After Xin Minduo and Bao Juncen filed an appeal, the court affirmed the original decision in Xin Minduo's case, but Bao Juncen's case was put aside for two months while the perpetrators created fake evidence. Finally they falsely charged her again. On February 20, 2006, Ms. Juncen was put on trial before the district court of Xinglongtai District, Panjing City. The court ended without announcing a verdict.

After Xin Minduo and Bao Juncen were arrested, they were put on trial before the court twice within half a year. The first time was on September 12, 2005. A number of government officials and police from the National Security Team, led by Xu Hao, sat happily in the first two rows of the audience. They yelled, "Family members sit in the back!" The second trial was on December 15, 2005. In the first trial, the practitioners were falsely charged as "accomplices." There were a few lawyers, government officials, and people from the National Security Group sitting in the audience area. This time, Xin Minduo and Bao Juncen were put on trial separately by the National Security Group. When Bao Juncen's case was heard in court, fewer government officials attended the court. Song Buo, Yao Chenglin and Jiang Yongsong from the National Security Group showed up. However, Xu Hao did not come.

The more trials that were held, the clearer the truth became. The more fake evidence presented, the more clearly people knew it was fabricated. People came to understand the truth through the trial process, and more and more people realized what Falun Gong is.

In court, prosecutor Pei Guangyan read the charges aloud as listed. He read them sometimes fast, sometimes slow and sometimes very unclearly. Nobody could understand what he was talking about. The so-called evidence was: 1. Bao Juncen had been arrested seven times. 2. She wrote two letters. 3. She made two declarations on the Minghui/Clearwisdom website.

Bao rejected the prosecutors statements right in the courtroom, "I was arrested (kidnapped) only once, and imprisoned for more than 3 months (more than the normal detention period). If 15 days is the correct detention period, I was imprisoned for about seven times longer than the normal detention period. You cannot say that I was arrested seven times."

The prosecutor said, "The two letters she wrote were to spread and manufacture propaganda materials." The lawyer objected, "Writing two letters is not manufacturing propaganda material. In addition, she did not spread them. The quantity is so low. Actually, one is a letter, and the other one is only a diary. She did not break the law."

The prosecutor said again, "She made two declarations on Minghui/Clearwisdom website." Bao said, "No, I did not. I don't know how to do it." The judge asked her, "Did you ask anyone to do it for you?" Bao replied, "No." The judge asked, "Your father signed the guarantee statement for you. Did you know that?" Bao said, "I didn't know. I've never seen it."

The lawyer said, "Since she did not sign or see the guarantee statement, the guarantee statement is irrelevant to her. The guarantee statement cannot therefore be used as evidence if she breaks the law. In addition, in the first trial, Bao and Xin are accomplices. The evidence of this trial is completely unrelated to the evidence of the first trial. This evidence is completely new and the situation is 180 degrees different from the previous trial circumstances."

The lawyer said, "The evidence is completely unreasonable. In the charges presented, two letters were discovered during the home search. But why are they not recorded on the search record? In addition, why were they not mentioned at all in the first trial?"

The prosecutor said, "She was arrested before she could spread them."
Bao said, "I only wanted to write down my thoughts and save them. I have never thought of spreading them."
The lawyer said, "She only has one copy of each letter. Do you have any evidence to prove that she wants to spread them?"
The prosecutor's claims were completely rejected by the lawyer and Bao. Finally, the prosecutor was speechless.
At last, Bao Juncen said, "I did not break the law. The lawyer has also proved that I was not against the law."
The judge dismissed the trial and wanted to consult with other members of the court to give the verdict.

From time to time, articles have been written to expose the situation in Guizhou jails. Here I would like to expose the evilness of the Zhongba Forced Camp in Guizhou Province.

The Zhongba "Brainwashing Center"

The Zhongba "Brainwashing Center" is known to the outside world as a "Legal Training and Learning Center." Some workplaces and police stations go to great lengths to lie and resort to deceitful means in order to force local practitioners to come to this place. For example, practitioner Mr. Tao Xianda was told that he would be going there to learn accounting. In the brainwashing center, the practitioners were forced to watch propaganda defaming Falun Gong and proclaiming that the Chinese Communist Party is "Great, glorious and correct."

If the brainwashing center fails to achieve its purpose, they send practitioners to the labor camp. A so-called "sentencing statement" accompanies each practitioner to forced labor. It basically mentions whether or not the practitioner is persistent in practicing Falun Gong. For those practitioners who were arrested for clarifying the truth, the sentencing statement always mentions "in possession of Falun Gong materials." For some practitioners, no statement is even given.

Appalling torture goes on at this labor camp, including burning practitioners' faces with boiling water and forcing them to inhale heroin.

The labor camp forced other prisoners to torture practitioners. They bribed the criminal prisoners with bonus points. If the prisoners did not obey, the administrators would threaten to deduct their bonus points. The more wickedly the prisoners behaved and the more obedient they were, the more bonus points they would get. The prison guards forced those prisoners who still had compassion to do bad things. The guards incited those who did not know the truth, or who were evil and vicious, to inhumanly torture practitioners. For example, the prisoners made practitioners stand outside during the winter with no clothes on at all. They made practitioners run around in the heat of the summer wearing cotton-padded clothes. They deprived the practitioners of any sleep for long periods of time. In the wintertime, they showered practitioners with cold water and burnt practitioners with boiling water. They beat practitioners with all kinds of tools available. They also forced practitioners to inhale heroin.

The prison guards themselves also beat up and cursed practitioners. The guards used every conceivable means at their disposal to humiliate practitioners. For example, they forbid practitioners from speaking and deprived them of any freedom. Each and every week, and every single month, the practitioners were forced to write "thought reports" following the guards' requirements. Otherwise, the guards would "attack" an individual practitioner separately and torture him. They also threatened the practitioners, forbidding them from making phone calls to see their families, not allowing them to reduce their prison terms, adding time to their prison terms, and robbing their family members of their job opportunities. The 610 Office of the Shuicheng Mineral Bureau forced elderly practitioner Mr. Wu Changyu to give up cultivation by threatening to keep his son, Wu Kui, from getting a job. They also coerced his family into cooperating with them in the persecution by putting medication in his food and not allowing him to sleep.

Originally, each section had an "intensive assault unit." Later, the prison guards established a unit in each team. They told each section to give them the names of all those who needed to be persecuted. However, since so many people would see what was happening, in order to hide the persecution from outsiders, the guards set up a "solitary confinement section" close to the guards' Team Six.

Under severe persecution, practitioners Liu Zhe, Gao Guoyuan, and Cheng Huazheng were tortured until they became mentally disordered. Wang Shangyou and Wu Changyu were beaten until they had bruises all over their bodies. Wu Song and Zhong Dagang were tortured so much that they lost feeling in their legs. Ye Fenglin, Han Min, Wu Botong, and Yang Yi died as a result of being persecuted in this forced labor camp.

Zhongba Forced Labor Camp provides a convenient "out" for criminal inmates

The labor camp has provided a convenient "out" for criminals. Corruption is allowed, and you are not held responsible if you beat people. You can do whatever you want to if you fulfill your job. Police guards Li Jiming, Ming Hong, and Yang Renshou once said openly, "It does not matter if several people die. We have a quota for beating practitioners to death."

Those guards who tried all kinds of things to persecute practitioners said frankly, "If we bump into you, we can accuse you of 'attacking the guards.'" On June 2, 2005, prison guard Xu Huayuan put Peng Yeliu and Tian Zhongfu into a small cell, claiming that they had "attacked a guard." On June 10, when Wu Zhongran told the head of the guards, Qian Zhengnan, that the guards were assaulting practitioners, Qian Zhengnan replied that it was the practitioners who had assaulted the guards. Qian Zhengnan then put Wu Zhongran into the small cell.

Practitioner Zhao Peng hired a lawyer, but no one dared to testify. Practitioner Lei Guoting's appeal letter was transferred from the Section to the Team, from different sections to the municipal and provincial legal department, to the State Council. No one ever showed up to make any inquiries. When guard Long Weilin instigated someone to beat up practitioner Wu Changyu, Liu Zhengxing, a female section chief said that the practitioners were welcome to sue the police, because it would be a good chance to show off their "achievement."

Many police guards were promoted as a result of actively persecuting practitioners, such as Li Jilian, Chen Ge, Li Jiming, Jing Jian, Ming Hong, Tu Laojiu, and Song Xuefei.

Zhongba Forced Labor Camp in Guizhou Province personnel:

Qian Zhengnan, Director

Guards involved in persecuting practitioners include: Lu Dang, Liu Yunhe, Huang Xianyao, Xu Huayuan, Jiang Pida, Li Jiming, Jing Jian, Wan Zhaogui, Huang Zhaoming, Ming Hong, Yang Renshou, Pan Zhong, Li Jiliang, and Chen Ge.

Those who have more details, please help to expose them. We need to eliminate the evil in the Fa rectification period so that it can find no place to hide.

Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Wang Junru, 58 years old, lived on Qiaobei Street in Wujianfang Township, Beipiao City, Liaoning Province. After he started practicing Falun Gong in 1998 he was cured of severe hepatitis and became very energetic. He set off for in December 1999 to clarify the truth about Falun Gong and was intercepted in Jinzhou City. Officers from the Qiaobei Police Department took him back to Beipiao City, detained him unconstitutionally, and took all his money. Local police officers Du Dezeng and Ma Haiyou savagely beat him. In 1999, six adults in Mr. Wang's family were arrested. Only two children, one five years old and the other less than a year old, were left at home. In March 2000, when Mr. Wang again went to Beijing to clarify the truth, about six police officers brutally beat him in Tiananmen Square. He bled profusely. Local police officers Du Dezeng and Bai Fengrui took him to a detention center and extorted 6,000 yuan from him. He was sentenced to two years of forced labor in April 2000. Mr. Wang was tortured and subjected to brainwashing, which resulted in a relapse of his old illness. During six years of persecution by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), including agents from the 610 Office, the police department, and the National Security Group, he was harassed and his home was ransacked countless times. His son and daughter-in-law are still being held in a forced labor camp and a prison. His wife was sentenced to forced labor and was released from the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp in Shenyang City on March 25, 2005. Practitioner Mr. Wang Junru was mentally devastated and passed away on February 3, 2006.

Practitioner Ms. Lin Shuying, 70 years old, lived in Pulandian, Dalian City, Liaoning Province. She started practicing Falun Gong in 1997 and helped her second daughter to study Falun Gong. On July 20, 1999, Ms. Lin was living with her second daughter when the Party and Jiang's group started to publicly persecute Falun Gong. Her daughter was arrested and her home was ransacked. The perpetrators often harassed her at home. In 2001, her daughter was again arrested and sent to a brainwashing center and her home was again ransacked. Ms. Lin was physically and mentally devastated. She passed away on January 22, 2006.

Practitioner Mr. Yang Xingkuan was born in 1963 and lived in Xiasi Town, Jiange County, Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province. He started practicing Falun Gong in August 1996. The CCP started persecuting Falun Gong on July 20, 1999. Mr. Yang went to Beijing in December 1999 to clarify the truth to the government. In January 2000 he was sent back to his hometown in Jiange County in Sichuan Province and held at the county detention center. He was released in March 2000 and was fined 1,800 yuan. In June 2000, Mr. Yang was arrested, taken to a detention center, and subsequently sentenced to two years of forced labor. He was sent to Xinhua Forced Labor Camp in Mianyang. In the evening of February 7, 2004, officers from the Xiasi Town Police Department in Jiange County suddenly broke into Mr. Yang Xingkuan's home. They went through everything and took Falun Gong books, truth clarification materials and 800 yuan in cash. They again arrested Mr. Yang. The police removed his clothes at the Xiasi Police Department as they planned to torture him, but Mr. Yang broke free and escaped. The police fired guns at him but he successfully escaped and lived in exile. A group of agents from the police department, the Xiange County National Security Group, and the Xiasi Town Comprehensive Administration Office looked for Mr. Yang. They also waited at his home. Because they couldn't arrest Mr. Yang, they arrested his wife, who is also a Falun Gong practitioner, for the third time and held her at the notorious Nanmusi Forced Labor Camp in Zizhong for 18 months. Mr. Yang went to Yan'an in Shaanxi Province and Yichang City in Hubei Province. He ended up working at a construction site in the Qiaosan Work District on the Shanghai-Chengdu Railway, located on Changjiang Road, Langping Town, Changyang County. On May 4, 2005, Mr. Yang Xingkuan and a dozen other people were injured in an industrial accident when a front loader and bulldozer slid down on them. He died on the way to the hospital.

Practitioner Mr. Chen Baifang, 64 years old, lived at No. 47 Chengbei Road, Nanjiang County, Sichuan Province. He suffered from many illnesses before he started practicing Falun Gong in 1997, all of which were cured through Falun Gong practice. In October 2000 he went to Beijing to appeal to appeal for Falun Gong. He was arrested and the Nanjing Court sentenced him to three years in prison with three years probation. He was arrested soon after he went home and was later released. Due to constant harassment from the National Security agents and accusations from family members deceived by Party propaganda, he could not practice Falun Gong on a regular basis. He subsequently suffered a relapse of his old illness and passed away in July 2004.

Practitioner Mr. Jiao Xin worked for the Fangyuan Company in Shuangyashan City, Heilongjiang Province. In the 15 years before he practiced Falun Gong, he suffered from a neurological disorder that resulted in a severe tremor. He could not feed himself and depended on his family for care. He was cured after practicing Falun Gong in July 1996. Falun Gong gave him a new life. After the CCP started persecuting Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, six and sometimes more than 10 Communist agitators, including Liu Songgang and Li Qinghua, Party secretaries from his place of work, arrived in three cars, harassed him at his home, and prohibited him from practicing Falun Gong. They threatened to arrest him and cut off his salary if he continued to practice. He was in his late 60s and was devastated. He suffered a stroke and was hospitalized three times in six years. His family spent more than 70,000 yuan on medical, treatment which failed to revive him. He passed away on December 14, 2005.

Mr. Liu Wang was 62 years old. He was an employee in the Cotton Corporation of the Huangzhou District, Huanggang City, Hubei Province. He started practicing Falun Gong in 1997. Afterwards, his partial paralysis from a stroke quickly lessened. Fifteen days later, he was able to walk by himself. Other complicated symptoms all vanished. Jiang's regime started the persecution of Falun Gong in 1999. On June 18, 2000, Mr. Liu went to Beijing to appeal and clarify the truth. He was unlawfully detained for over 40 days in the First Detention Center of Huanggang City. Under police instructions, the inmate appointed as the prison cell "head" beat Mr. Liu everyday and brutally tortured him. After he was released from the detention center, the staff from the Huanggang District 610 Office harassed him every holiday. Under the long-term persecution, Mr. Liu Wang passed away on January 9, 2006.

Ms. Lai Xiuxiang was 48 years old. She was an employee in the Explosives Factory of Songyuan City, Jilin Province. She began to practice Falun Gong in 1997. Before beginning the practice, she had severe illnesses including cirrhosis of the liver. She regained good health after learning the practice. After July 20, 1999, she went to Beijing twice to clarify the truth about Falun Gong. On the second trip there, she was arrested and "unlawfully sentenced" to one year in prison by the local police. During her term in prison, she was subjected to inhuman tortures, which lead to the recurrence of her previous illnesses. The police released her when she was in a life-threatening state as they feared they would be held responsible for her death. Ms. Lai Xiuxiang died on December 1, 2001. Further information is to be investigated.

Mr. Zhang Dejun, 34, was employee in the Petroleum Refinery of Songyuan City, Jilin Province. In the summer of 1998, he was hospitalized due to lung cancer. In the hospital, he obtained Falun Gong. After merely two months of practice, the symptoms of lung cancer disappeared. After July 20, 1999, because he had witnessed many fellow practitioners being arrested by the police, the pressure in his chest suddenly increased. Unable to bear the terror of being persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party, he dared not practice and study Falun Gong. His previous illnesses recurred. He passed away in February 2000.

Ms. Yan Juan, in her 30s, was a practitioner from Nongan County, Jilin Province. She started to practice Falun Gong in 1997. Before the practice, no one in her neighborhood dared to take advantage of her because everyone knew how aggressive she was. Afterwards, her temper became good. After the persecution of Falun Gong began, she was intimidated many times by the police. She was greatly traumatized. In 2001, she went to Beijing with other practitioners to appeal for Falun Gong. Later, she was again intimidated many times, which caused her to collapse mentally. One night in 2004, she went out and did not return home. Her husband found that she had hanged herself from a tree several hundred yards away from the village. Her family members considered her suicide was due to her insanity. Detailed information is yet to be investigated.

Ms. Wang Shulan, 71, started to practice Falun Gong in 1998. Before that, she was unhealthy for a long time. After she started practicing, all her illnesses vanished. After the persecution of Falun Gong by Jiang's regime began, her daughter was persecuted and unlawfully detained in a forced labor camp for insisting on practicing Falun Gong. Ms. Wang's body and mind were greatly traumatized. She stopped practicing Falun Gong and died in 2003.
