(Clearwisdom.net)Ms. Liu Jin from the Fengxian District in Shanghai has been arrested again. Before this, she had served an unjust four-year prison term. On the afternoon of November 25, she was arrested at her home by police officers from the Fengxian District Police Department. Her home was also ransacked by policemen from the Fengxian National Security Brigade and Haiwan Police Station. The police arrived in two official cars and confiscated 20,000 yuan, a computer, a printer, identification cards, and the family's bank cards. They even took Ms. Liu's electric motor vehicle. Several bystanders said that the policemen were clearly operating outside of the law. Ms. Liu is now in the Fengxian District Detention Center.
Liu Jin and her husband, Mr. Zhang Zhanjie, are in their early 40s. Both of them used to work for Shanghai Normal University. Mr. Zhang received his Master's degree from the university and was hired by the university as a teacher. Ms. Liu used to work in the university library. They both practice Falun Gong and follow its principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance" in their work and life. They were very nice to people and were two outstanding professionals.
After the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Jiang Zemin started the persecution of Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, Liu Jin and Zhang Zhanjie refused to give up their belief in the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance" and began to tell people the facts about Falun Gong. Under orders from the Shanghai 610 Office, policemen from the Fengxian District Police Department arrested the couple. The Fengxian District Procuratorate and court illegally sentenced Mr. Zhang to four and a half years and Ms. Liu to four years of imprisonment. Mr. Zhang was taken to Shanghai Tilanqiao Prison, where guards put him and death row inmates in the same cell in order to try to force him to give up his belief. Ms. Liu was taken to Shanghai Women's Prison. Since she didn't give up her belief in Falun Gong, they mistreated her in various ways, including putting her in solitary confinement, verbally abusing and humiliating her, threatening her, subjecting her to brainwashing attempts, and force-feeding her. Their daughter, then only 11 years old, lived by herself in Shanghai. Later, the authorities sent her to Mr. Zhang's hometown in Shandong Province.
After years of torment in prison, Ms. Liu and Mr. Zhang were finally released in late 2004 and early 2005. Officials of the Shanghai Normal University were afraid of the 610 Office and did not dare to give the couple their jobs back. Other companies and organizations were also afraid of police harassment and rejected the couple's job applications. Mr. Zhang had to go to Beijing to work. Ms. Liu had to take odd jobs in restaurants and laundries. The couple had to live thousands of miles away from each other, which made it difficult to take care of their daughter. Even when they were living like this, people from the Fengxian District 610 Office, policemen from the National Security Brigade and Fengxin Police Station still did not let them live in peace and continued to harass them. They followed the two when they went out; they even went to their home to monitor and question them.
This year Ms. Liu and Mr. Zhang's daughter is preparing for the college entrance examination, so this is a crucial year for her. Liu Jin talked to some people about Falun Gong, telling them the facts that the CCP had been hiding from them. As a result, she was arrested again and therefre she couldn't take care of her daughter. Mr. Zhang, who was in Beijing trying to earn some tuition money for their daughter, had to resign from his job and return to Shanghai. His elderly parents, who are in poor health, also came to Shanghai to help out. The whole family has suffered a big blow.
We urge all kindhearted people to please pay attention to this family's difficulties and help them break away from the CCP's persecution.

In November 2007, Eight Practitioners Are Verified to Have Died as a Result of Persecution and Torture
(Clearwisdom.net) In November 2007, eight Chinese practitioners were verified to have died as a result of persecution and torture in November 2007. According to initial statistics from the Minghui/Clearwisdom website, from January to November 2007, at least 101 practitioners died as a result of the persecution. Since July 20, 1999, the day the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began to persecute Falun Gong, at least 3,109 practitioners have died. Information about these persecution deaths has bypassed the media blockade in China, and has been verified through unofficial channels. This article elaborates on four of the deaths reported upon in an earlier FDI release. (http://www.faluninfo.net/displayAnArticle.asp?ID=9512)
The Persecution Continues, Whereabouts of Many Practitioners Unknown
The former Public Security Minister and the current Party Secretary of the Political and Judicial Committee, Zhou Yongkang, initiated a new round of persecution against Falun Gong. As a result, the Chinese Communist Party arrested more Falun Gong practitioners. The 610 Office, the police, and National Security officials refused to tell their families the whereabouts of the arrested practitioners. They even denied the arrests altogether. For example, on May 9, 2007, there was another large scale arrest after the "305" TV signals were intercepted in 2002. Most of the practitioners were sentenced to forced labor. Practitioner Ms. Wang Yuhuan's family only discovered her whereabouts 15 days after her death. Those responsible still remain at large. The whereabouts of the senior coach of the National Ice Hockey Team, a practitioner named Mr. Gao Weixi, who had contributed a great deal to the development of ice hockey in China, along with several other practitioners, are still unknown. A senior engineer and practitioner, Mr. Jiang Zonglin, from the Chengdu Construction Information, was arrested on August 2, 2007, and his whereabouts are still unknown.
There is concern about the situations of these missing practitioners. The World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG) published an investigation of the Beijing Garrison Hospital, the Jinzhou Hospital in Liaoning Province, and the Guangxi Nationality Hospital. The investigation clearly indicated that the CCP is still continuing to harvest organs from practitioners while they are still alive.
Twenty-six-year-old Song Changguang Tortured to Death
Of the seven practitioners who died as result of persecution in November 2007, the youngest was Mr. Song Changguang, an outstanding student from the Communication Faculty of the Changchun Post and Telecommunication Institute. Because he openly said that he was a Falun Dafa practitioner, no company dared to employ him. Later, when he went to Beijing to peacefully appeal for Falun Dafa in accordance with the law, he was arrested. He was "illegally detained" at the Chaoyanggou Forced Labor Camp in Changchun and suffered inhuman torture. A healthy and robust young man who was 1.8 meters tall became a mere skeleton as a result of torture. His joints protruded and he was basically skin and bones. His lower body developed festering sores. Even when he was in such terrible condition, the police still shocked Mr. Song with 35,000-volt electric batons and used other methods of torture on him. Mr. Song Changguang died on November 12, 2003, at the age of 26.
The Persecution and Death of Mr. Qi Tingsong; His Family's Appeal Has Been Stalled
Mr. Qi Tingsong, 67 years old, was a retired teacher from the Ezhuang Coal Mine, Xinwen Mining Bureau in Shandong Province. He was arrested on October 15, 2007, while he was clarifying the truth in Gouli Village, Gaozhuang Township, Laiwu City. He was taken to the Laiwu Detention Center. Mr. Qi died only a little more than three weeks after his arrival at the detention center.
Yang Leping, Head of the Security Section of the Ezhuang Coal Mine, collaborated with Liu Qing, a policeman from Laiwu, and several officials from the local 610 Office. They sent Mr. Qi to a forced labor camp, where he went on a hunger strike to protest his illegal detention. Chen Fa, the head of the Laiwu Detention Center, ordered a group of guards to carry out barbaric force-feeding. Mr. Qi's esophagus bled and festered because of repeated force-feedings. His internal organs were seriously injured as a result of the kicks that were inflicted upon him. He was sent to Laiwu Hospital as he was dying. A medical exam showed that Mr. Qi Tingsong was suffering from severe internal injuries, including organ failure and an upper digestive tract hemorrhage. He was sent to Laiwu City Hospital during the night of November 5 at around 3:10 a.m. The following day, the hospital issued a "Notice of Critical Illness."
In the morning of November 6, Yang Leping, Head of the Security Section of Ezhuang Coal Mine, and a group of people from the police station, the Procuratorate, and the court met at the Liangpo Police Station. In order to cover-up the true cause of Mr. Qi's death, they decided among themselves to spread the story that Mr. Qi had "committed suicide to escape punishment" and he was further accused of "using an illegal organization to sabotage implementation of the law." Mr. Qi Tingsong passed away at the Central Hospital of the Xinwen Mining Bureau the morning of November 11, 2007.
When Mr. Qi was in a coma, he had blood in his stool and also vomited blood due to his serious internal injuries. However, even when Mr. Qi was dying, Liu Qing, a policeman from the Laicheng District Police Sub-department; Chen Fayong, a prison guard of the Laiwu Detention Center; Yang Leping, the head of the Security Section of Ezhuang Coal Mine, and a person surnamed Xie, who was from the Laiwu Procuratorate, refused to pay Mr. Qi's medical fees and forced the hospital to stop treatment. At the same time, they deceived Mr. Qi's family into signing a document that would confirm that Mr. Qi had been released from detention. This way, Mr. Qi's death would have nothing to do with them.
After Mr. Qi's death, his grieving family went to the relevant departments every day to appeal on their deceased family member's behalf. No one would accept their appeal. The officials from the Laiwu City Procuratorate said that they would only accept or hear the case if they were able to present a conclusion that was provided by the police department. The officials from the Laiwu Police Department said they would not provide any conclusion as to the real cause of death. They told the family that if they were to provide a conclusion, it would be that Mr. Qi "committed suicide to escape punishment" and they told Mr. Qi's family that it was no use for them to appeal. The related officials even threatened Mr. Qi's family through their relatives and neighbors so that they would stop appealing. They said, "Wait until the Olympics are over."
Mr. Qi's wife is not in good health and is very weak. His elder son works at the Ezhuang Coal Mine and his second son is paralyzed and confined to bed. In order to stop Mr. Qi's elder son from appealing, the coal mine would not allow him to take any time off and forced him to work every day. If he failed to go to work, he would be fired. (According to a government policy, if a parent, a spouse, or a child dies, direct family members are entitled to 15 days leave for the funeral.)
Ms. Chen Guilian Died Due to Poisoning from Drugs Administered in Baimalong Labor Camp, Hunan Province
Fifty-seven-year-old Ms. Chen Guilian was a retired employee of the Jiangbin Machinery Factory located in Xiangtan City, Hunan Province. On April 26, 2007, she was arrested while distributing truth-clarifying materials at the Jindu Market in Zhuzhou City. She was taken by market security guards to the National Security Division of the Lusong Police Sub-department. A person surnamed Yang, a person surnamed Li, and the driver from the Zhuzhou City Police Department then brutally questioned Ms. Chen.
Ms. Chen was sentenced to one year of forced labor. She was taken by 610 Office agents to Baimalong Labor Camp around May 2007. From the time she arrived, she was force-fed unknown drugs for more than three months. Drug-addicted prisoners forced drugs into her mouth and it is still unknown what drug she was given.
On August 17, 2007, Ms. Chen's family had her released on bail for medical treatment. After returning home, she said that she had from a stomachache. On September 3, 2007, she was admitted to Xiangtan City Central Hospital. Her family spent more than 100,000 yuan on hospital fees. Doctors said there was too much fluid in her abdomen and that there were toxins in her blood, so they performed an operation to filter her blood. The doctor said that the operation only took two hours. However, her spleen was badly damaged and there was still too much abdominal fluid. Ms. Chen Guilian died at 9:51 p.m. on September 26, 2007 at the age of 57. Only 150 days passed between the time she was arrested to the day that she died, just 15 days after she returned home.
Some eyewitnesses have revealed that the torture methods used in Baimalong Labor Camp are inhuman, such as injections of nerve-damaging drugs, hanging people by their handcuffs from a window frame, brutal force-feedings, forcing practitioners to stand on the legs of an upside-down wooden stool, etc. Under extreme mental pressure and physical torture, some practitioners have apparently suffered mental breakdown. The current deputy director, Zhao Guibao, as well as Lu Yongquan, the clinic chief, and his wife, who are both doctors, gained promotions for participating in the cruel persecution of many practitioners. They were involved in torturing, forced-feedings, and injecting anesthetics, and are directly responsible for all the incidents of brutality at the forced labor camp.
Mr. Long Lianzheng Died As a Result of Persecution
Mr. Long Lianzheng, 70, lived in Yantai City, Shandong Province. He was a retired engineer who was employed by the Xingfu Construction Company in the Zhigang District. He used to have heart disease, high blood pressure, bronchitis, and other ailments. He was not active and could not even go downstairs. He also passed out often. After Mr. Long started to practice Falun Gong in March 1996, all of his ailments disappeared. He felt very light and was even able to carry a big bag of flour up to the fifth floor. His neighbors all said that he was a changed person.
Mr. Long continued to practice Falun Gong after the Chinese Communist Party started the persecution on July 20, 1999. He went to Beijing to clarify the truth but was illegally arrested and detained. Mr. Long was put under strict surveillance many times thereafter. In January 2000, after being detained for one month in Nanjiao Detention Center, CCP officials attempted to take him to the Laiyang City Mental Hospital for intensified persecution, but their plan was abandoned after his children strongly protested .
On the morning of February 24, 2001, five or six police officers from Lijiaoqiao Station tried and failed to open Mr. Long's door with a master key, so they rammed his door with a big metal beam. They smashed his metal security gate and his front door. Then they rammed a large hole through his wall and forcibly took Mr. Long to the Wangcun Forced Labor Camp in Zibo City. He was subjected to brainwashing sessions while he was there and was then forced to go through another brainwashing session in Yantai City after coming back from Wangcun Labor Camp.
In June 2001, Mr. Long was sentenced to three years of forced labor and taken to Wangcun Forced Labor Camp again. He was tortured by brutal force-feedings and several of his teeth were knocked out as a result. Various other means of torture were inflicted upon him, including the "Dead Person's Bed." After six months in the labor camp, Mr. Long was diagnosed with bone cancer, and he was released on bail for medical treatment.
On April 25, 2002, the police opened the door to Mr. Long's home with a master key and took Mr. Long to another forced brainwashing session in the Sixteenth Xingfu Village in Yantai City.
In April 2007, the CCP officials used tricks and deception to open his door again. They stole printers and other items from his home. Right before the 17th CCP Conference, these officials went into Mr. Long's home twice to harass him.
The repeated break-ins, torture, threats and harassment caused huge damage to Mr. Long's mental and physical health. His old sicknesses recurred, and he died on November 2, 2007.

Education System Officials in Jianyang City, Sichuan Province Persecute Falun Gong Practitioners
(Clearwisdom.net)
Officials in the Jianyang City Education System have cruelly persecuted Falun Gong practitioners.
On November 17, 2007, officials at the Education Bureau once again colluded with the 610 Office and issued "Document No. 37 issued by Jianyang Education Bureau CCP Committee (2007)." The main point of the document is to coerce the teachers and students in Jianyang City to study materials made by the Central 610 Office defaming Falun Gong.
After this document was issued, education bureau officials and those from the 610 Office went looking for Falun Gong practitioners to try to force them to write the Three Statements. Many practitioners were repeatedly harassed.
Mr. Zhang Chenliang is a 50-year-old elementary school teacher who is well respected by his students and colleagues. Railway policemen arrested him in 2005 for practicing Falun Gong and carrying Falun Gong materials. Mr. Zhang has been relentlessly harassed and persecuted for the past two years.
Recently, education bureau officials colluding with officials from the 610 Office paid Mr. Zhang Chengliang a visit and tried to force him to write the "Three Statements" to renounce Falun Gong. Moreover, they demanded that he slander Falun Gong in the school's teachers and faculty conference. When Mr. Zhang refused, he was sent to a brainwashing center.

Liu Renling and Her Family Are Persecuted in Yantai City
(Clearwisdom.net)
Ms. Liu Renling was an employee at Muping Fabric Factory in Shandong Province and had a happy family. Since the Chinese Communist Party began to persecute Falun Gong practitioners, more than a dozen practitioners at Muping Fabric Factory have been dismissed or sent to forced labor camps. Among those persecuted were Ms. Liu Renling and her family.
In July 1999, she and other practitioners went to the Yantai City government to appeal for and clarify the truth about Falun Gong. However, they were detained by Lin Aiguo, Yu Xiang, Xue Chen, and other staff from the Security Department of the factory. There were eight practitioners altogether detained in the Security Department in the day and in the factory's clinic at night for eight days.
In October of the same year, with the excuse of stopping the practitioners from going to the government to appeal, the factory sent Security Department staff to arrest the eight practitioners again when they were at work, and detained them for about half a month. During both illegal arrests, the factory recorded the practitioners as missing work and docked their pay accordingly.
In October 2000, when Ms. Liu and other practitioners from the factory went to Beijing to appeal on behalf of Falun Gong, they were arrested and taken to Dayao Police Station in their hometown. Wang Ling, the director, and policeman Xu Changjiang beat them brutally. Then they tied Liu Renling, Zhou Lisha, Qin Shu'e, Qu Xiuli, and Yu Xiuhua to telephone poles on the street to humiliate them. The practitioners were detained in the detention center for a month. When they were released, they had 2,750 yuan extorted from them and were dismissed by the factory. Liu Renling had no job from then on.
On July 26, 2007, Lin Aiguo from the Security Department of the fabric factory and Zhang Shubo and He Zhongren from the Political Security Department of the Muping District broke into Ms. Liu Renling's home and arrested her. She was sentenced to two years of forced labor and taken to Wangcun Women's Forced Labor Camp in Zibo City. In order to try to force her to give up her belief in "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance," the labor camp subjected her to sleep deprivation for several days and nights in a row.
On the evening of September 1, 2004, policemen from the State Security Group of the Muping District and the Dayao Police station arrested six students at the Dayao High School, all of whom were children of practitioners from the fabric factory. Among them there was Wang Limei, daughter of Ms. Liu Renling. The police forced the children to write statements to renounce Falun Gong and made them leave their fingerprints on the statements. When the children tried to ask for help from the school principal, the principal didn't know what to do and said, "It is not wrong to teach people to be good by following 'Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance,' but the government doesn't allow it. I have no choice."
The following afternoon, the children's mothers--Ms. Liu Renling, Ms. Jiao Lixiang, and Ms. Sun Houyun--were also arrested at home. Ms. Liu had just been released from the forced labor camp a year before. Yang Yinghai, Zhu Jianguo, Liu Xinwei, Wang Lin, and Hu Fengrui from the State Security Group detained them at the Mupin Detention Center, and tried to force them to write statements renouncing Falun Gong. Ms. Liu and Ms. Jiao went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution. The doctor at the detention center, Zhang Sheng, tried to force Ms. Liu to take some medication, but she refused. Zhang Sheng arranged eight or nine male inmates to hold her arms and legs, covered her nose with a towel, opened her mouth by prying her teeth apart, and poured medicine down her throat. On the eighth day of their hunger strike, Ms. Liu and Ms. Jiao were taken to the detention center's clinic to be force fed with food and medicine. This kind of force feeding has happened once every other day since then.
Wang Dongmei, a doctor at the detention center's clinic, was particularly cruel to the practitioners. On the twelfth day of Liu Renling's hunger strike, several male inmates were taken into her cell by Wang Dongmei to hold her head, arms, and legs, so that Wang Dongmei could inject her with unknown drugs. When Ms. Jiao was on the fifteenth day of her hunger strike, she started twitching. The detention center authorites extorted 2,000 yuan from each family to release the two women temporarily. About three weeks later, the State Security Group went to their homes to arrest them. They missed Liu Renling because she happened to be out, but Jiao Cuiguo was arrested and sentenced to three years of forced labor. Ms. Liu Renling was forced into a homeless situation to avoid further persecution.
On October 15, 2006, Ms. Liu was arrested by Chief Han Tao and police officers Song Xiaoni and Jiang Yelin from Binhai Road Police Station in Laishan, Yantai City. She was detained in Laiyang Detention Center. The police tortured her to try to make her give up her belief. According to a witness, she was hung up and beaten for three days and nights. On March 23, 2007, the Laishan Branch Court of Yantai City Court sentenced Liu Renling to nine years of imprisonment in an illegal trial. During the trial, Ms. Liu looked weak and skinny, said a witness. On April 23, 2007, she was admitted to Jinan Prison.
After Ms. Liu was sent to prison, her husband Tao Yuan had to leave the country to work. Their only daughter, Wang Limei, who was a teenage student, was left behind. She had to stop going to school and moved in with her grandmother in the countryside.
A happy family was thus torn apart by the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong.
Ms. Liu Renling was an employee at Muping Fabric Factory in Shandong Province and had a happy family. Since the Chinese Communist Party began to persecute Falun Gong practitioners, more than a dozen practitioners at Muping Fabric Factory have been dismissed or sent to forced labor camps. Among those persecuted were Ms. Liu Renling and her family.
In July 1999, she and other practitioners went to the Yantai City government to appeal for and clarify the truth about Falun Gong. However, they were detained by Lin Aiguo, Yu Xiang, Xue Chen, and other staff from the Security Department of the factory. There were eight practitioners altogether detained in the Security Department in the day and in the factory's clinic at night for eight days.
In October of the same year, with the excuse of stopping the practitioners from going to the government to appeal, the factory sent Security Department staff to arrest the eight practitioners again when they were at work, and detained them for about half a month. During both illegal arrests, the factory recorded the practitioners as missing work and docked their pay accordingly.
In October 2000, when Ms. Liu and other practitioners from the factory went to Beijing to appeal on behalf of Falun Gong, they were arrested and taken to Dayao Police Station in their hometown. Wang Ling, the director, and policeman Xu Changjiang beat them brutally. Then they tied Liu Renling, Zhou Lisha, Qin Shu'e, Qu Xiuli, and Yu Xiuhua to telephone poles on the street to humiliate them. The practitioners were detained in the detention center for a month. When they were released, they had 2,750 yuan extorted from them and were dismissed by the factory. Liu Renling had no job from then on.
On July 26, 2007, Lin Aiguo from the Security Department of the fabric factory and Zhang Shubo and He Zhongren from the Political Security Department of the Muping District broke into Ms. Liu Renling's home and arrested her. She was sentenced to two years of forced labor and taken to Wangcun Women's Forced Labor Camp in Zibo City.

More About the Persecution of Music Teacher Ms. Li Zhi, Who Met an Untimely Death at the Age of 31
(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Li Zhi was a music teacher at the Wujiashan Fourth Middle School in Dongxihu District, Wuhan City, Hubei Province. She used to have a lung disease, but after she started practicing Falun Dafa in March 1999, her disease disappeared, and she benefited tremendously in other ways too. When the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started persecuting Falun Dafa on July 20, 1999, her school leaders demanded she write a guarantee statement that she would stop practicing Falun Dafa. Under enormous pressure, Ms. Li Zhi wrote the statement. Later, she very much regretted doing so and went to Beijing to appeal to the central government for justice for Falun Dafa.
In June 2000, Ms. Li Zhi went to Beijing and was arrested at Tiananmen Square. She was taken back to the Wuhan City Number One Detention Center. There, she was detained for fifteen days before being taken to a brainwashing center at the Dongxihu Police Academy.
At the brainwashing center, Ms. Li was completely restricted and monitored. She was put in a small room with a dozen other practitioners and watched by an "assistant educator" all the time. All eating, drinking, washing and even going to bathroom were conducted in the room. They were not allowed to do the Falun Dafa exercises. They were forced to watch videotapes slandering Falun Dafa and to write reports denouncing the practice every day. Each of them was charged fifteen yuan per day.
Ms. Li Zhi was beaten by her husband and the "assistant educator" many times. She signed the guarantee statement again because she could no longer withstand her husband's beatings.
The following people participated in the persecution at the brainwashing center: Xiao Guoqiang, Judge of the Dongxihu District Court; Lin Zhengxing, former Director of the 610 Office (now the Director of the Dongxihu District Human Resources Bureau); Zhang Changfa and others.
At home, Ms. Li was monitored by CCP agents around the clock. Police called her home frequently and her school stopped paying her salary. In December 2000, the principal of the Fourth Middle School colluded with members of the Dongxihu District Political and Legal Committee and the 610 Office, who then arrested her. Ms. Li Zhi was again taken to the Police Academy brainwashing center.
Due to long periods of physical and mental torture, Ms. Li Zhi started to vomit blood, and her health deteriorated drastically. She was then released. Lin Zhengxing, director of the district 610 Office; Li Deng Chun, a supervisor of the brainwashing division; and Huang Yanfei, head of the discipline inspection group of the district finance bureau, all participated in the torture.
Ms. Li's husband had been pressured and deceived by the CCP. He often beat her. Sometimes she was beaten until she tried to protect herself by curling up in the fetal position on the floor. He beat her so hard with the leg of a stool that he broke it. Having lived under fear and torture for so long, Ms. Li Zhi's health continued to deteriorate. She vomited blood more and more frequently. In the summer of 2002, Ms. Li Zhi passed away in a hospital, at the age of 31.
Below is a link to an earlier article first reporting the persecution of Ms. Li Zhi. Since, many more details have become known.

Chen Yujiang Has Been Persecuted to the Verge of Death
(Clearwisdom.net) Chen Yujiang is detained at the Xinjiang No. 5 Jail and has developed tuberculosis of the lungs since his imprisonment. His life is in danger.
Chen Yujiang, 27 years old, is a salesperson for the Urumchi Company. Since July 20, 1999 Chen has used various means to clarify the truth to people. Once, when he was posting banners he was arrested and sent to a detention center. On December 1, 2004 he was sent to Xinjiang No. 5 Jail, No.7 Area.
Chen Yujiang clarified the truth to the guards and began a hunger strike. On December 6 he was sent to the jail hospital but still suffered persecution. Chen continued the hunger strike until February 2007. During that time the jail arranged for prisoners to assist the guards in the persecution. Besides forced transfusions, the guards mainly used forced feeding through a nasal tube. Two months later they switched to a crueler method of open-mouth tube forced feeding. Chen was locked into a small cell twice, although he was very weak due to his hunger strike.
During over two years of persecution, Chen has become emaciated. In March 2007 Chen was diagnosed with tuberculosis of the lungs. Chen's life is in danger. This was the situation as of May 2007. His present situation is not known.
The authorities directly plotting the persecution are Wu Tianquan and Zhang Yongjun, two chiefs in the Education Office, and a policeman, Guan.

Xinkaipu Forced Labor Camp: Conditions the International Community Cannot Imagine
Clearwisdom.net
Xinkaipu Forced Labor Camp in Changsha City, Human Province is infamous for persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners. I'd like to provide details about what has occurred there.
Mr. Xiao Chongjian Tortured by Camp Guards
Around 7 p.m. on September 16, 2007, prison guards Li Sujun and Xiao Jie took Mr. Xiao Chongjian to section C to try to force him to renounce the practice of Falun Gong . This section of the camp is used to torture Falun Gong practitioners. Guard Xiao Jie used a fully-charged electric baton to repeatedly shock Mr. Xiao. Li Sujun tortured Mr. Xiao for over three hours using his fists, elbows, knees, and a baton. Mr. Xiao was severely injured. The internal injuries resulted in pulmonary edema and pleural effusion.
It has been reported that a Falun Gong practitioner was tortured so severely in this camp that he is no longer able to walk. It takes four people to help him use the toilet. Another practitioner went on a hunger strike to protest the brutal treatment he received. He was force-fed so cruelly that two of his teeth were broken.
High Profits from Prison Labor, Conditions the International Community Cannot Imagine
Practitioners being held in Xinkaipu Forced Labor Camp make various commercial products. The camp workshops are full of dust and trash. The conditions are unsanitary and not suitable for any kind of production. However, food wrappers are made here, including those used for ready-to-eat food. Some criminal (non-practitioner) inmates even intentionally put mucus and feces on the wrappers to vent their grievances.
Products made here include wrappers for Duck Necks from Hunan, Chongqing, and Zhengzhou; wrappers for Hunan Special Candy; chopsticks used at the Southern Pearl Hotel of Changsha; toothpicks for Pingxiang in Jiangxi; Hunan yogurt containers; chestnuts; Renbaoce thermometers; Laiyang Hanpian, and more. All of the above products are manufactured using free prison labor.
Guard Wu Bin admitted that this kind of illegal profit-making couldn't happen in Western countries, and is unimaginable to the international community. The cruelty that goes on inside is also not found in any other civilized society. The camp doctors act like they are treating animals, and the guards are killing machines.
