(Clearwisdom.net) There is an intensive management district inside the Jiangxi Province Women's Forced Labor Camp. Most of the Dafa practitioners are held there. The prison authorities divided a large room into 8 square meter rooms with one door and one small window. It usually held three people, one Dafa practitioner and two other inmates who were monitoring the Dafa practitioner at all times. The Dafa practitioner is not allowed to go to the bathroom outside. Everything was forced to be done in the room and the room's air was terrible, particularly in the summer time. One could hardly breathe due to lack of fresh air and the clothes would stick to the body because of the sweat. Dafa practitioners were also subjected to slave labor.
Dafa practitioner Huang Jinrong requested an appeal to study the Fa and practice the exercises but she was cursed out by the guards who confiscated her appeal letter and instigated inmates Suo Liping and Liao Lixia to beat her up. They poked her with needles, bit her, grabbed her hair and hit her head against the wall. Huang Jinrong still has headaches to this day as well as nausea. The guard Lu Xiuying cuffed Dafa practitioner Huang Jinrong to the bed and wouldn't let her sleep or clean herself. Inmate Suo Liping also used up Huang's money and Liao Lixia extorted 100 yuan from Huang. The prison authorities openly encouraged such abuse under their authority.
Since Dafa practitioners have been kind to everyone some inmates with kind hearts do believe that Dafa practitioners are all good people. The relationships between them were good most of the time. It is the guards who instigated hatred in the inmates in order to help them persecute Dafa practitioners.
The guards would add pressure to the inmates and threaten them if Dafa practitioners refused slave labor, refused to wear the prison outfits or refused to report.. In order to prevent the circulation of Dafa articles, they used the excuse of a safety check and search Dafa practitioners and their belongings. Whoever refused would be subjected to an extension of their sentence. If they found Dafa articles or pens, the guards would extend the sentence terms of the inmates, forcing the inmates to intensify their monitoring, and even beat and curse the practitioners.

The Recent Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners in Liaoning Province Women's Prison
By our correspondent in Liaoning, China
(Clearwisdom.net) Liaoning Province Women's Prison is located in Shenyang City. Falun Gong practitioners have been illegally detained and persecuted there for a long time. The persecution is especially bad in Division 10. Practitioners there are pressured to "transform." Newly detained practitioners have to sleep on the ground and are deprived of sleep at night. Two inmates take turns to monitor one newly detained practitioner. In addition to not being allowed to interact with others, they were also forced to read books or watch DVDs that defame Falun Gong.
In Division 10, detainees are often forced to work overtime at night, and they often have to work on Sundays. In late 2009, detainees often worked until past midnight or all night long, in addition to all day. Li Jing, a supervisor in Group 2 of Division 10, had inmates Sun Yanan and Liu Shu beat and verbally abuse practitioner Ms. Qi Ximin and try to force her to write statements criticizing herself.
On September 23, 2009, because practitioner Ms. Wang Chunyan (Group 2 of Division 10) did not wear the inmate badge, team head Li Jing called her to the office. Prison ward head Dai Jing wanted to put her in the solitary confinement cell. When stepping out of the office, Ms. Wang called out, "Falun Dafa is good!" and fainted. Because of that, the guards did not persecute her any worse.
On December 2, 2009, because practitioner Ms. Liu Xingge (Group 2 of Division 10) did not wear the inmate badge, supervisor Li Jing called her to the office. Several people were at there, including guard Cui Jie, officer Wu Jiaxu, and Group 5 head Sun Weijing. Prison ward head Dai Jing came in and asked why Ms. Liu did not wear the badge. Ms. Liu did not answer.
Seeing Dai Jing with an electric baton in her hand, Ms. Liu told her, "Please do not do this to me--it is not good for you. I am not a prisoner; why should I wear the badge?" Dai Jing grabbed Ms. Liu by her clothes, and Ms. Liu called out, "Falun Dafa is good!" They held Ms. Liu down on the floor as she continued to call out, "Falun Dafa is good!" Dai Jing forced Ms. Liu's left hand behind her back. Wu Jiaxu, Sun Weijing, and others held Ms. Liu's feet. Then Dai Ying attempted to stuff a rag in her mouth, but failed even after several attempts. As Dai Jing stamped on her back, they handcuffed her. Dai Ying pushed her against the ground; she then stood up again. Dai Ying said, "Put her [Ms. Liu] in the solitary confinement cell."
Upon hearing that Ms. Liu's detention term expired on January 29, 2010, Dai Ying said, "Then let her term expire while she is in the solitary confinement cell. That way, she will be kept for at least another week." In the beginning, Ms. Liu was handcuffed with her hands in front of her, but Wu Jiaxu changed it so that she was handcuffed behind her back. Not wantin Ms. Liu to shout out anything, Dai Jing attempted to stuff a rag into her mouth, but failed. They then used tape to wrap Ms. Liu's head, from her mouth to her hair in the back. Inmates Qiu Jie and Shen Xiaoli carried her into the solitary confinement cell, which was very cold. She was held there for over a month, from December 2, 2009, to January 6, 2010.
Ms. Li Yuhua, a practitioner detained in Group 4 of Division 10, was put in a solitary confinement cell from October 10 to 19 because of an argument with Dai Jing.
Practitioner Ms. Huo Xiuqing, because of her high blood pressure, didn't do forced labor. She was force-fed with drugs by inmates Qiu Jie and Shen Xiaoli before October 1, 2009. They also forced her to stay a whole day in an open area in the hallway. Her feet were injured because of the cold.
Practitioner Ms. Du Jingqin's (detained in Group 5 of Division 10) blood pressure was too high for her to work. However, after finishing work in the evening, the guards did not allow her to sleep. Instead, the guards ordered 12 inmates in her cell to take turns reading defaming books to her, two people a shift, till 10:00 p.m. They also ordered her to sit on a small stool, but she refused. Inmates then sealed the door and windows with newspaper and covered her with her own bed sheet before they beat her.
In Division 9, the determined practitioners, after they first arrived, were hung up in their cell, force-fed cold water, and had cold water poured over them. Then they were forced to do hard labor. Practitioner Ms. Fu Yan (detained in Group 5 of Division 9) refused to do hard labor and was put in a solitary confinement cell on November 15, 2009. She returned to the cell on December 9. But several days later, she was put in a solitary confinement cell again. It was very cold in the cell, and Ms. Fu did not have a quilt or winter clothes to keep herself warm. She had two tumors on her neck, which have now become malignant.
In Division 8 practitioners who refused to do hard labor were held in solitary confinement cells. It is very cold there, and they are not provided with a quilt or winter clothes. Practitioner Li Mingyan, detained in Division 3, was reported to have passed along Master's articles to other people. She was thus put in a solitary confinement cell in December 2009, and has not been released as of January 6. When personnel from Hebei Province came to visit, practitioner Jiang Wei stood up to clarify the truth. She was put in a solitary confinement cell for nearly one month.

Mr. Xian Chunwei's Three Forced Labor Terms
By our correspondent in Shandong Province, China
Name: Xian Chunwei (霰春伟)
Gender: Male
Age: 36
Address: Zhuanghanmiao Village, Mihe Town, Qingzhou City, Shandong Province
Occupation: Unknown
Date of Most Recent Arrest: June 5, 2009
Most recent place of detention: Mingshui Labor Camp in Zhangqiu, Jinan City (济南章丘明水劳教所)
City: Jinan
Province: Shandong
Persecution Suffered: Detention, solitary confinement, forced labor, torture, physical constraint, sleep deprivation, beatings, extortion, force-feeding
Key Persecutors: Zuo Hengfa (左横法), Pan Hongmin (潘洪民)
(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Xian Chunwei, an employee of the Urea Division of Qingzhou Fertilizer Factory, began practicing Falun Gong in 1995. Since July 20, 1999, when the persecution began, the Qingzhou Police Department and Domestic Security Division agents frequently harassed his family, including breaking in and ransacking their home. They also arrested and tortured Mr. Xian numerous times. Mr. Xian was held at forced labor camps three times for a total of six years and is currently detained at the Mingshui Labor Camp in Zhangqiu, Jinan City.
Qingzhou Fertilizer Factory director Hou Chuntao and Party secretary Chang Chengshu joined security chief Jiang Sheng in detaining Mr. Xian in the factory's garage. They nailed the windows of the garage shut. There was no toilet there and Mr. Xian had to relieve himself inside the garage. Mr. Xian eventually broke free and went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. He was arrested and officers from the Qingzhou Domestic Security Division detained him for one month. After his release, Party Secretary Chang Chengshu and others detained and tortured Mr. Xian again. When officials tried to arrest him again in October 2000, he left the factory and went into exile.
Officers from the Qingzhou Domestic Security Division arrested Mr. Xian from his rented home on February 20, 2001 and took personal possessions from the apartment. He was sentenced to three years of forced labor and taken to Changle Labor Camp in Weifang City, Shandong Province.
The guards and inmates at the labor camp tortured Mr. Xian. The prison extended his term by nine months because he refused to give up his belief in Falun Dafa. After he was released, Xian Chunwei went to former practitioners who were deceived by Party propaganda and explained to them the facts about Falun Gong in the hopes that they would see through the vicious persecution. Qingzhou Domestic Security Division head Zuo Hengfa charged him with "counter-revolutionary activities" and sentenced him to two years of forced labor in June 2005. Mr. Xian was taken to Wangcun Labor Camp in Shandong Province. He was sent to the Strictly Controlled Team. Detainees in this team were forced to do hard labor and worked overtime almost on a daily basis.
Qingzhou Domestic Security Division officials arrested Xian Chunwei again during the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and sent him to the Kuiwen District Party School in Weifang City for a brainwashing session.
When Mr. Xian went to the Qingzhou Road Police Station in Qingzhou City to get his ID on June 5, 2009, the police detained him. An officer (the last four digits on his badge: 0421) savagely beat him. One man who claimed to be the police chief screamed, "How can you prove that we beat you?" Qingzhou Domestic Security Division officials including Yang Haifeng and Zhang Laian took Mr. Xian to the Qingzhou Brainwashing Center at the former Guashi Police Station in Qingzhou and robbed him of all the money and belongings that he was carrying.
The police handcuffed Mr. Xian backward to a metal chair at the brainwashing center and chained his feet, so he could not move. They locked him in this posture for 35 days, during which time they took turns forcing him to stay awake and would brutally assault him if he dozed off.
Domestic security official Zhang Laian and Zhu Gang from the Mihe Town Birth Control Committee and Zhang from the Mihe Town administration ordered official Liu to buy hard liquor and force-feed it to Xian Chunwei. They also poured cold water on his head and neck. Yang Haifeng, Pan Hongmin and Zhang Laian said, "Our superiors ordered us to do it; there's nothing we can do [but to obey]."
Mr. Xian went on a hunger strike to protest the illegal detention and brutality. Domestic Security Division head Zuo Hengfa took him to Yidu Central Hospital on June 7. Mr. Xian shouted, "Falun Dafa is good." The officials took him back to the police station, fearing that other people would hear him exposing the persecution. They threatened him, "We have lots of ways to 'take care' of you; you'll wish for death."
Officials Zuo Hengfa, Yang Haifeng and Pan Hongmin also ransacked the home of Mr. Xian's fiancée in Weifang City and terrorized her and her family. They then ransacked his rented apartment in Weicheng and harassed the landlord and neighbors. One month later, Qingzhou Police Department agents and those from the Qingzhou Domestic Security Division sentenced Mr. Xian to one year of forced labor and held him at Mingshui Labor Camp in Zhangqiu, Jinan City.
After the Qingzhou police took Mr. Xian to the brainwashing facility, his family anxiously looked for him everywhere. The officials told them, "We don't know where he is; we haven't seen him." Deputy police chief Yang Xitao and brainwashing center head Duan even threatened his family, telling them to stop seeking him.
Persecution of Mr. Xian's family
Officers Liu Dayong, Xi Gang and others from the Mihe Town Police Station ransacked the home of Xian Chunwei's parents in Zhuanghanmiao Village and took away lots of personal belongings. Mr. Xian's father said, "Liu Dayong, the person wearing glasses, with a black mole on his face, took 460 yuan, which was my six-months' savings that I was going to use to buy coal for the winter. He also took a bag of old cassettes and a letter."
When Mr. Xian visited his parents in January 2009, the same officers again tried to arrest him. Neighbors and passersby stood up to the police and demanded to know why they took the family's winter heating money. Liu Dayong denied it, saying that he did not take any money, and then he changed the story and said that Mr. Xian's parents signed a document to agree to give him the money. Mr. Xian's parents are illiterate. As more and more villagers gathered, Liu Dayong threatened, "If you don't let me through, I'll arrest you." The farmers refused to budge and the police finally left after a one-hour stalemate.
Some officials responsible for the persecution of Xian Chunwei:
Zuo Hengfa, Qingzhou City Domestic Security Division Head: 86-536-3229829 (Home), 86-15953665166 (Cell)

Mr. Liu Yuhe's Family Reveals How He Was Tortured in Prison
By our correspondent in Jilin Province, China
Name: Liu Yuhe (刘玉和)
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown
Address: Unknown
Occupation: Unknown
Date of Most Recent Arrest: Unknown
Most recent place of detention: Jilin Prison (吉林省吉林监狱)
City: Jilin
Province: Jilin
Persecution Suffered: Imprisonment, illegal sentencing, force-feeding, beating, torture, electric shocks, hung up, solitary confinement
(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioner Liu Yuhe from Jilin Province was illegally sentenced and sent to Jilin Prison, where he was tortured. His family members' demands for justice have gone unanswered. To protest the persecution, Mr. Liu went on a hunger strike, but the prison guards tortured him with forced feeding.
Mr. Liu suffered severe injuries in prison. He lost control of his bowels and bladder and was in critical condition. He was taken to a hospital for emergency treatment. His family authorized a lawyer to sue Jilin Prison officials for abusing him, but the prison authorities threatened the lawyer with retaliation.
To rescue Mr. Liu, his family filed an accusation with the Jilin Province justice system, and demanded that he be released on medical parole. The have yet to receive a reply.
The following is Liu Yuhe family's accusation.
During his detention, Liu Yuhe was tortured repeatedly. His family made strong demands for the offenders to be punished. This demand has yet to be answered. To protest his illegal imprisonment and maltreatment, Mr. Liu launched a hunger strike, but the police responded by force-feeding him. Currently, Mr. Liu has lost the ability to care for himself. He lost control of his bowels and bladder and is under emergency care in a hospital.
The end of May 2009, the Jilin Province Prison Administration personnel investigated guards Li Yongsheng, Wang Yuanchun, and others for their roles in instigating criminal inmates to torture and harm Mr. Liu. Prison officials covered up the facts and locked him into a small cell as revenge.
Based on our knowledge, on November 2, 2009, Li Yijiao, the prison affairs section head; Sun Fengjun, a guard from the strictly controlled team; and Sun Wen, the prison doctor, tortured Mr. Liu badly. After that, we went to the prison to visit Mr. Liu. Guard Zhang Meng from Ward Five answered our phone call, and another guard said, "Liu Yuhe is in the hospital and he is not eligible for a family visit." When we asked why, he cursed at us.
To protect Liu Yuhe, we hired a lawyer to defend him.
On November 13, 2009, we went to Jilin Prison again to see Mr. Liu, but the guards wouldn't let us in, saying he was under discipline in the hospital. When the lawyer asked to see him to obtain his signature on the contract, the prison officials refused his request. On November 16, we went to the prison one more time to make sure he was all right, but the guards once again turned us away. We demanded to see the residing prosecutor at the prison, but to no avail.
Since our voices fell on deaf ears, I want to briefly recount the persecution that my brother Liu Yuhe suffered and ask for help.
Liu Yuhe was sentenced to eight years in prison by the Chuanying Court of Jilin City on September 11, 2007. At Jilin Prison, he was repeatedly assaulted by criminal inmates and tortured by guards, and he suffered severe injuries.
Beginning July 31, 2008, the prison intensified his maltreatment. On that day, a guard and several criminal inmates escorted him to the strictly controlled cell and forced him to sit on a narrow bench from 5:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. every day. His entire body weight rested on the bench, so his buttocks hurt badly. When he could not sit straight any longer, the guards told inmates to push hard against his neck and to use electric batons on his head.
In October 2008, Mr. Liu was sent to a strictly controlled cell again. Under guard Sun Fengjun's direction, inmates Sun Xinghe, Fan Tiejun, and Liang Xinming used ropes to hang up him and tortured him for two days, causing severe injuries. To this day, his hands still feel numb and he gets sharp pains in them. They also did not allow him to use the toilet for two days. As a result, his pants and clothes were soiled. He was forced to sit on a narrow bench for more than a month.
In the afternoon of November 28, 2008, guard Dai Jun took Mr. Liu to the strictly controlled cell again. On January 14, 2009 at 8:00 a.m., criminals Sun Xinghe, Liang Xinming. and Fan Tiejun began to hit him violently. At 7:30 p.m., Fan Tiejun took him outside of the strictly controlled cell and began to strip off his clothes with the assistance of inmates Ma Jingyu, Sun Xinghe, and Cui Yong. They pinned the naked Liu to the floor and began punching and kicking him. They blamed him for reporting the violence to the authorities even as they continued to beat him, "How dare you tell others about the beating? You are supposed to keep your mouth shut about things that happen here. We know you wrote a letter to the prosecution office to accuse Ma Jingyu and Sun Xinghe for beating you. We've wanted to beat you for a long time, so we are beating you today! Will you dare to report it again?" Guards Liu Tong and Li stood nearby while the beating went on, but they pretended to see nothing. Guard Dong Jian said, "How could we call this place a strictly controlled cell if we don't beat people?" After a long time, the inmates were exhausted and stopped. But at 8:10 p.m., inmate Liang Xinming pushed him to a restroom and beat him again. He was severely injured, had a bloody nose, and vomited; he also suffered a heart attack. Fan Tiejun and Ma Jingyu were scared, so they forced him to swallow some medicine for a heart attack and let him go.
In April 2009, Mr. Liu was locked up in the strictly controlled cell again. During his detention there, he repeatedly complained to the prison staff and higher agencies about how he had been abused. The guards assaulted him repeatedly and locked him in a solitary confinement cell. While covering up their crimes, the guards tightened their grip on him. Since the beginning of the persecution, more than ten practitioners have died in Jilin Prison. Now, Mr. Liu Yuhe is in critical condition. We demand that he be released on medical parole. We fear for his life. If something happens to him, we will definitely fight for justice for him.
I demand that legal actions be taken against the guards and inmates that used violence on my brother, Liu Yuhe. I also demand monetary compensation on behalf of Liu Yuhe.

Name: Liu Yuhe (刘玉和)
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown
Address: Unknown
Occupation: Unknown
Date of Most Recent Arrest: Unknown
Most recent place of detention: Jilin Prison (吉林省吉林监狱)
City: Jilin
Province: Jilin
Persecution Suffered: Imprisonment, illegal sentencing, force-feeding, beating, torture, electric shocks, hung up, solitary confinement
(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioner Liu Yuhe from Jilin Province was illegally sentenced and sent to Jilin Prison, where he was tortured. His family members' demands for justice have gone unanswered. To protest the persecution, Mr. Liu went on a hunger strike, but the prison guards tortured him with forced feeding.
Mr. Liu suffered severe injuries in prison. He lost control of his bowels and bladder and was in critical condition. He was taken to a hospital for emergency treatment. His family authorized a lawyer to sue Jilin Prison officials for abusing him, but the prison authorities threatened the lawyer with retaliation.
To rescue Mr. Liu, his family filed an accusation with the Jilin Province justice system, and demanded that he be released on medical parole. The have yet to receive a reply.
The following is Liu Yuhe family's accusation.
During his detention, Liu Yuhe was tortured repeatedly. His family made strong demands for the offenders to be punished. This demand has yet to be answered. To protest his illegal imprisonment and maltreatment, Mr. Liu launched a hunger strike, but the police responded by force-feeding him. Currently, Mr. Liu has lost the ability to care for himself. He lost control of his bowels and bladder and is under emergency care in a hospital.
The end of May 2009, the Jilin Province Prison Administration personnel investigated guards Li Yongsheng, Wang Yuanchun, and others for their roles in instigating criminal inmates to torture and harm Mr. Liu. Prison officials covered up the facts and locked him into a small cell as revenge.
Based on our knowledge, on November 2, 2009, Li Yijiao, the prison affairs section head; Sun Fengjun, a guard from the strictly controlled team; and Sun Wen, the prison doctor, tortured Mr. Liu badly. After that, we went to the prison to visit Mr. Liu. Guard Zhang Meng from Ward Five answered our phone call, and another guard said, "Liu Yuhe is in the hospital and he is not eligible for a family visit." When we asked why, he cursed at us.
To protect Liu Yuhe, we hired a lawyer to defend him.
On November 13, 2009, we went to Jilin Prison again to see Mr. Liu, but the guards wouldn't let us in, saying he was under discipline in the hospital. When the lawyer asked to see him to obtain his signature on the contract, the prison officials refused his request. On November 16, we went to the prison one more time to make sure he was all right, but the guards once again turned us away. We demanded to see the residing prosecutor at the prison, but to no avail.
Since our voices fell on deaf ears, I want to briefly recount the persecution that my brother Liu Yuhe suffered and ask for help.
Liu Yuhe was sentenced to eight years in prison by the Chuanying Court of Jilin City on September 11, 2007. At Jilin Prison, he was repeatedly assaulted by criminal inmates and tortured by guards, and he suffered severe injuries.
Beginning July 31, 2008, the prison intensified his maltreatment. On that day, a guard and several criminal inmates escorted him to the strictly controlled cell and forced him to sit on a narrow bench from 5:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. every day. His entire body weight rested on the bench, so his buttocks hurt badly. When he could not sit straight any longer, the guards told inmates to push hard against his neck and to use electric batons on his head.
In October 2008, Mr. Liu was sent to a strictly controlled cell again. Under guard Sun Fengjun's direction, inmates Sun Xinghe, Fan Tiejun, and Liang Xinming used ropes to hang up him and tortured him for two days, causing severe injuries. To this day, his hands still feel numb and he gets sharp pains in them. They also did not allow him to use the toilet for two days. As a result, his pants and clothes were soiled. He was forced to sit on a narrow bench for more than a month.
In the afternoon of November 28, 2008, guard Dai Jun took Mr. Liu to the strictly controlled cell again. On January 14, 2009 at 8:00 a.m., criminals Sun Xinghe, Liang Xinming. and Fan Tiejun began to hit him violently. At 7:30 p.m., Fan Tiejun took him outside of the strictly controlled cell and began to strip off his clothes with the assistance of inmates Ma Jingyu, Sun Xinghe, and Cui Yong. They pinned the naked Liu to the floor and began punching and kicking him. They blamed him for reporting the violence to the authorities even as they continued to beat him, "How dare you tell others about the beating? You are supposed to keep your mouth shut about things that happen here. We know you wrote a letter to the prosecution office to accuse Ma Jingyu and Sun Xinghe for beating you. We've wanted to beat you for a long time, so we are beating you today! Will you dare to report it again?" Guards Liu Tong and Li stood nearby while the beating went on, but they pretended to see nothing. Guard Dong Jian said, "How could we call this place a strictly controlled cell if we don't beat people?" After a long time, the inmates were exhausted and stopped. But at 8:10 p.m., inmate Liang Xinming pushed him to a restroom and beat him again. He was severely injured, had a bloody nose, and vomited; he also suffered a heart attack. Fan Tiejun and Ma Jingyu were scared, so they forced him to swallow some medicine for a heart attack and let him go.
In April 2009, Mr. Liu was locked up in the strictly controlled cell again. During his detention there, he repeatedly complained to the prison staff and higher agencies about how he had been abused. The guards assaulted him repeatedly and locked him in a solitary confinement cell. While covering up their crimes, the guards tightened their grip on him. Since the beginning of the persecution, more than ten practitioners have died in Jilin Prison. Now, Mr. Liu Yuhe is in critical condition. We demand that he be released on medical parole. We fear for his life. If something happens to him, we will definitely fight for justice for him.
I demand that legal actions be taken against the guards and inmates that used violence on my brother, Liu Yuhe. I also demand monetary compensation on behalf of Liu Yuhe.

Disabled Falun Gong Practitioner Ai Qingfeng Illegally Sentenced to Five Years in Prison
By our correspondent in Liaoning Province, China
(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Ai Qingfeng from Liaozhong County, Liaoning Province was forced to leave home to avoid being persecuted. Over a period of eight years, his fingers were constantly frozen in the cold temperatures with the ensuing result that he lost eight of his fingers and his ability to work. In 2009, he was illegally arrested and was unjustly sentenced to five years in prison. Currently, he is held in Kanjiashan Prison, Shenyang City.
Mr. Ai Qingfeng is 54 years old and his home is in Dingjiabao Village, Liuerbao Town, Liaozhong County, Liaoning Province. Mr. Ai made a living by fish farming and through some other small businesses. He began practicing Falun Gong in 1997 and he has benefited in a number of ways from the practice. He quit smoking and drinking and no longer had a bad temper. With his customers he always kept his word and he loved to help others. His fellow villagers had a great impression of him.
Because Mr. Ai would not give up his belief in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, in 2001 officers from Tiexi Police Station Branch of Yanfen Street, Shenyang City went to his home many times in an attempt to arrest him. They did not succeed and he had to continually leave his home over the eight years to avoid persecution. In that time he lost his eight fingers in the cold weather; he only has two thumbs left.
On June 18, 2009, Mr. Ai was arrested in the Qianjin Fish Market in Xinmin City by a group of police officers, including Liuerbao Town Police Station director Chen Fei, officer Guo Hui, and another officer with the surname Su. He was held in Liaozhong County Detention Center for six months. Recently he was unlawfully sentenced to five years in prison by Liaozhong County Court.

The arresting officers were Zhang Jun, Captain of the Domestic Security Brigade, Liu Shijun, Deputy Captain of the Domestic Security Brigade, and Yang Guirong, Wang Shumin, Zhou Zheren, Zhang Linji and Yu Guiqiu.
The arresting officers searched Ms. Li's home, confiscated many of her personal belongings, interrogated her and, at one point, knocked her down and kicked her in the head before transporting her to the Suizhong Detention Center in Huludao.
Ms. Li was later taken to the Lianshan District Procuratorate. Prosecutors from the Procuratorate Wang Jun, Zhang Liang, and Zhang Xiaoquan filed charges against Ms. Li in the Lianshan District Court.
Ms. Li was tried in the Lianshan District Court on November 18, 2008. Ms. Li's family hired attorney Zhai Yihe from the Tianbang Law Firm in Liaoning Province to defend her, and Mr. Zhai entered a plea of not guilty. In a highly irregular move, the judge sentenced Ms. Li while the court was in recess. Ms. Li appealed to the Huludao Intermediate Court but the judge, under pressure from the local 610 Office, upheld the original sentence. This was not the first time that Ms. Li has been persecuted for her belief in Falun Dafa.
Ms. Li is 44 years old and used to work in the petroleum refinery in Huludao. She learned Falun Dafa in 1996 and, after the Chinese Communist Party banned Falun Dafa and began persecuting its practitioners in July 1999, Ms. Li went to Beijing to appeal. She was arrested at the Huludao Train Station and taken to the Lianshan District Public Safety Bureau. For 35 days she was locked in the Huludao City Detention Center before she was taken to a brainwashing center, where she was tortured for two months. After Ms. Li was released, she was fired by her employer because she refused to renounce Falun Gong.
After that, in November 1999, police officers from Longgang District Public Safety Bureau broke into Ms. Li's home to arrest her, but she was able to escape. After this, officers came to her home regularly and harassed her son, frightening him so much that he refused to go to school. Failing to find Ms. Li, police officers harassed her family members as well.
The names of those who participated in Ms. Li's persecution include:
Presiding judge of the Lianshan District Court in Huludao: Li Dehai

On September 9, 2009, police officers led by Liu Hutang, an agent from the Weibin District Domestic Security Division, and officers from the Qiaonan Police Station arrested Ms. Wang's husband (not a practitioner) and forced him to call Ms. Wang and ask her to come home.
On September 10, 2009, Ms. Wang was arrested upon returning home. The police ransacked her home and detained Ms. Wang in the Lingyun Hotel under 24-hour close monitoring. The police hired assistants to stay in the same room and bring food to Ms. Wang every day. Only five days later, Ms. Wang appeared mentally confused, and she often bumped her head against the wall. It is very possible that drugs were put in her food.
On September 15, 2009, the Weibin District Police Department notified Ms. Wang's husband to come pick her up and bring her home. She died on September 22, 2009, just seven days after her release.

Falun Gong Practitioners Discouraged from Working at the Chinese Academy of Sciences
By a correspondent in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, China
(Clearwisdom.net) In November 2009, the Clearwisdom website published an article entitled, "The Persecution of Mr. Yu Yaou, a Doctoral Student at the South China Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences" (http://www.clearwisdom.net/html/articles/2009/12/14/113118.html). This article described how Mr. Yu and his wife were arrested and monitored and about other, hidden means used to persecute this couple.
Mr. Yu was in graduate school at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and in August 2005, he started his work at the South China Botanical Garden, where he worked hard and was an honest person. His advisor told him on many occasions that he was welcome to stay and work in the group after he graduated. Mr. Yu was arrested in 2008, after which he had much trouble continuing his work at the garden. A police officer told him, "Don't even think about government jobs because you are a Falun Gong practitioner."
In November 2009, Mr. Yu's advisor told him, "I know you work hard and are very considerate of others. If it was up to me, I would keep you. However, I am not sure what the government leaders would do." Mr. Yu decided to talk to officials at every level who had exerted pressure on his advisor.
His appeals made these officials persecute him further, and they ordered his advisor to make certain Mr. Yu graduated by January 30, 2010, and that he leave Guangzhou soon after. Mr. Yu has been working hard writing his dissertation and preparing for his defense. He believed the time of his graduation should depend on his progress in his research rather than on a order from government officials. He refused to comply with the arrangement.
Mr. Yu's advisor told him again that, because of his personal schedule and pressure from above, he wanted Mr. Yu to defend his dissertation on January 26. Mr. Yu gave his advisor four reasons why he would not: "The Party secretary once told me that I may not be given a doctoral degree because of my practice. This is against the law and should be resolved before I proceed to defend my dissertation. Secondly, I have written two manuscripts for submission. If I continue to work here, I will have time to publish them and obtain my degree. If I am forced to leave, I may never publish them or get my degree. It is not the proper time for me to defend my work and then leave. Thirdly, I am being deprived of the opportunity to work in CAS without a reasonable explanation. Being able to work is important to me and this problem needs to be resolved before I defend. Finally, I have not finished a lot of work for the science project I am in. It is only responsible and ethical that I stay and finish the job. I therefore refuse any scheduled defense that is forced upon me."
Mr. Yu's wife, Ms. Li Shanshan, worked in a plant-chemistry related group. She often worked overtime and stayed late. In 2008, she and her husband were arrested together right before the Beijing Olympics. The government launched large scale arrests of dissidents, petitioners, and Falun Gong practitioners before the games to make sure no protests occurred during the international event and in front of the cameras. Ms. Li could not go to work for a year and a half. When she returned to work on December 14, 2009, her supervisor and a Party official told her that she needed to re-apply for her position. She refused to accept the conditions requiring her to go through a "three month trial period" before she could be officially hired.
Ms. Li's supervisor had told her before that she had passed the trial period and was officially employed. Ms. Li read the hiring and managing policies of the garden and could not find a regulation stating that she be fired before her arrest. She asked personnel in Human Resources and the Party secretary but received no answer.
An insider told Ms. Li, "Officials of the garden want your husband to complete and finish defending his PhD dissertation before they will allow you to go back to work. [The officials and Human Resources] push you around because you practice Falun Gong. They won't tell you that." The informer explained, "No one wants to get into trouble and be responsible for Falun Gong practitioners. The pressure from above is too much. You are a temporary worker, and no one cares if you come back to work, but your husband is a registered student and that is the problem."
In the CAS, the persecution of Falun Gong implicates those who work with practitioners. When a practitioner becomes problematic in the Party's eye, the practitioner's supervisor or advisor will shoulder a lot of pressure or even lose his job. Under such a policy, a practitioner's teacher, classmates, supervisor, and friends are targets of the persecution as well. As a result, practitioners are treated unfairly at work.

Two Falun Gong Practitioners from Beijing and Jilin Passed Away After Persecution in Labor Camps
(Clearwisdom.net)
Mr. Liu Zhenhua, a Falun Gong practitioner from Beijing, passed away
Mr. Liu Zhenhua lived in Tianshuiyuan of Chaoyang District, Beijing. Before practicing Falun Gong, Mr. Liu had several illnesses such as diabetes, hyperlipidemia, glaucoma, etc. After practicing Falun Gong, all of his illnesses were gone. In early 2006, he was taken into custody by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) police from his home and was sentenced to two years of forced labor. In the forced labor camp, he was persecuted by the guards and criminals, which caused his illnesses such as diabetes and glaucoma to return. He almost lost sight in both eyes. In June 2007, he was released for medical treatment. The CCP staff members continued to constantly harass him. On August 26, 2009, Mr. Liu Zhenhua passed away. He was 63 years old.
Mr. Jin Guangzhu, a Falun Gong practitioner from Yanbian of Jilin Province, passed away
Jin Guangzhu was born in 1964 and lived in Shitou Village, Liangshui Town, Tumen City. Before practicing Falun Gong, although he was an upright honest person, he had a very bad temper and often caused trouble for his family. His family worried about him a lot. Because he had severe arthritis, he had serious pains in his legs. He began to practice Falun Gong in 1999. After starting to practice, he underwent great changes both physically and mentally. He no longer had pains in his body. Moreover, he did not drink alcohol, neither did he smoke cigarettes. He did not cause any trouble for his family any more and he both respected elderly people and cared for younger ones. He became his household's supporter. His parents stated that it was Falun Gong that had saved their son.
In January 2001, Mr. Jin Guangzhu went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa and was illegally arrested and sent to Yanji Forced Labor Camp, where he was inhumanly and brutally tortured. He was beaten up. Once he was locked in a frozen storage room for one week only because he did not obey the rules of the forced labor camp and picked up his 5-year-old daughter who had come to visit him. The forced labor camp did not give him any bedding. He was shivering from cold all the time. Each day they only gave him two small steamed buns (one in the morning and one in the evening). It was far beyond what his body could endure. When he was released, his face was pale and he had no energy. After he returned home, he had cancer and went to the hospital but the treatment was ineffective. He passed away in May 2008.

Ms. Li Jumei Seriously Ill in Detention Center; Her Husband Died as a Result of Persecution
By our correspondent from Hunan Province, China
Name: Li Jumei
Gender: Female
Age: 37
Address: Unknown
Occupation: Teacher
Date of Most Recent Arrest: August 6, 2009
Most Recent Place of Detention: Jilin City Detention Center (吉林市看守所)
City: Jilin
Province: Jilin
Persecution Suffered: Detention, home ransacked, beatings
(Clearwisdom.net) On January 18, 2010, Dafa practitioner Li Jumei from Jiahe County, Chenzhou, Hunan Province, suddenly fainted at a detention center, hemorrhaging from her lower body. At that time she had already been persecuted for more than six months. She was sent to a hospital. Ms. Li came back home from the hospital in the afternoon in January 21, 2010, however, she is still being monitored by the Jiahe Police.
Guo Huisheng, Li Jumei's husband, was a cadre in the Office of Legislative Affairs in the Jiahe Government. He and Li Jumei wrote a letter to Xi Xiaogang, the director of the Lanshan Police Department, to request that Dafa practitioner Xiao Silan be set free. Xiao Silan had been arrested in Taipingxu, Lanshan. Because of their letter, the 610 Office and the State Security Bureau severely persecuted the couple. In the evening of August 6, 2009, they were taken away by dozens of police. Their house was illegally ransacked twice while they were not in. Guo Huisheng was brutally beaten by four police officers at the police station.
On October 6, 2009, Guo Huisheng fainted at the detention center and was sent to a hospital. After brain surgery, he was still unconscious. He could not move, and his heartbeat was weak. He passed away in the hospital on October 12, 2009. (Related article: http://www.clearwisdom.net/html/articles/2009/10/19/111715.html)
Li Jumei is a teacher from the Zhuquanwan Elementary School in Jiahe. She had bone cancer before practicing Falun Gong and was in a state of despair. She became healthy after practicing Dafa. Because of the great benefits she received from Dafa, she simply wanted to tell more people about how amazing Dafa is, but she was persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). She was taken to Baimalong Women's Forced Labor Camp in Zhuzhou twice by the 610 Office.
On January 12, 2010, the Jiahe Court opened a session to try Li Jumei. Her family was not informed of the trial. During the trial, Li Jumei exposed the persecution of Falun Gong in China.
Li Jumei became ill in the detention center, and was sent to the hospital. The result showed a relapse of bone cancer. Her family tried to take her home several times. On January 18, 2010, Li Jumei fainted because of bleeding in her lower body. That is when she was sent to hospital and returned, still under the constant surveillance of the Jiahe Police.

Ms. Wang Huimin Dies as Result of Persecution
By a correspondent from Jilin Province
Name: Wang Huimin (王慧敏)
Gender: Female
Age: 63
Address: Jilin City, Jilin Province
Occupation: Unknown
Date of Death: January 3, 2010
Date of Most Recent Arrest: October 2008
Most Recent Place of Detention: Jilin City Detention Center (吉林省九台拘留所)
City: Jilin
Province: Jilin
Persecution Suffered: Forced labor, brainwashing, illegal sentencing, beatings, imprisonment, torture, home ransacked, interrogation, detention
(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Wang Huimin started to practice Falun Dafa in 1994. After becoming a practitioner, she was considerate of others and was considered a good person. She was praised by her relatives, friends and neighbors. When she started practicing, many of her ailments, including cerebral thrombosis, disappeared. Although Ms. Wang was a good person, she was mistreated and tortured for ten years. On January 3, 2010, Ms. Wang died at home from many years of abuse.
On July 20, 1999, the CCP started to persecute practitioners of Falun Gong. Because Ms. Wang was a local assistant, agents from the local area neighborhood administration office and the local police station went to her home to harass her and force her to give up practicing. She firmly resisted. In October 1999, she went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong and was sentenced to one year of forced labor. During this period, she was tortured both physically and mentally. After she returned from the Heizuizi Women's Forced Labor Camp in Changchun City in 2001, she was continually harassed and monitored. She was forced to leave home to avoid being mistreated.
In 2002, Ms. Wang was arrested by police officers from the Jilin City Department and the State Security Bureau and sentenced to seven years in prison. During this time, she was tortured until she became paralyzed. She was later taken home by the police on a stretcher.
In October 2002, because the Sixteenth CCP Conference was to be held, police officers started to arrest Falun Gong practitioners; over forty practitioners were arrested. Practitioners were held in a detention center at the Huapi Factory, Jilin City. A brainwashing session was held in an attempt to forcefully "transform" practitioners of Falun Gong. Ms. Wang maintained righteous thoughts and went on a hunger strike for eleven days to protest the persecution while requesting to be released without any conditions. Not one of the forty practitioners was "transformed." This brainwashing session was organized by He Baoxi, the chief of the Jilin City 610 Office.
Around July 20, 2000, the city police department assigned local police officers to arrest Ms. Wang on a sensitive date. She did not cooperate with them and did not open the door to her home. She opened the window and told her neighbors and people passing by about the persecution and clarified the truth to them. Many people criticized the police for their behavior. However, the police officers did not pay attention to people's objections and broke the windows and arrested her. Ms. Wang's neighbors witnessed her being lifted onto a stretcher with a sheet covering her lifeless body. They guessed that Ms. Wang was hit so hard that she became unconscious.
In September 2007, she was taken home in a car by police officers. She had been tortured so severely she was unable to take care of herself. Her sister stayed at home for a month to care for her.
During the Beijing Olympics, police officers from Jilin City assigned agents of the neighborhood administration office to harass Ms. Wang. She was not allowed to go out. She took the opportunity to clarify the truth to the people who monitored her.
In October 2008, Ms. Wang and other practitioners went to the Jiutai Forced Labor Camp. They were surrounded by several police vehicles. When Ms. Wang and two other practitioners cried out "Falun Dafa is good," the police pulled their hair and kicked them. They arrested Ms. Wang along with the other practitioners; they were held at the Jiutai Detention Center for six days.
The Jilin City 610 Office, the Jilin City Police Department, the State Security Division, the Jilin City Police Department and the Dadong Neighborhood Administration Office have all tortured and harassed practitioners. As a result, Ms. Wang and her family experienced a great amount of stress and her family was almost broken apart. Over the last ten years, she was arrested over ten times and was severely tortured. Twice she was hit so hard that she became paralyzed. She was injured both physically and mentally. Being unable to tolerate further abuse, her health deteriorated and she could not eat or sleep. On January 3, 2010, Ms. Wang passed away.

After Several Imprisonments, Ms. Chen Qinfang Illegally Subjected to Forced Labor Again
By a correspondent in Shanghai, China
Name: Chen Qinfang (陈琴芳)
Gender: Female
Age: Unknown
Address: Zijinsan Village, Anting Township, Shanghai
Occupation: Unknown
Date of Most Recent Arrest: November 1, 2009
Most recent place of detention: Kunshan Detention Center (昆山看守所 )
City: Shanghai
Persecution Suffered: Detention, home ransacked, hung by handcuffs, forced labor, solitary confinement
(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Chen Qinfang went shopping at Zhongyu Square Farmer's Market in Huaqiao Township, Kunshan City, Jiangsu Province on November 1, 2009. She was suddenly abducted and taken to Kunshan Cao'An Police Station. After the subsequent ransacking of her home, her family did not hear from her again.
After Ms. Chen was illegally arrested, personnel from the police station never told her family where she was being detained. She didn't even have a change of clothing. In the chilly weather of early November, her family wanted to send her some warm clothing, but they didn't know where she was being held.
Ms. Chen's family received no notice until the night of November 24 when they got a call. The police told them to go to Kunshan Detention Center the next day. Only then did her family know that Ms. Chen had been secretly sentenced to a one-year forced labor term. She refused to give up her belief.
Ms. Chen was in tears when she told her family how she was persecuted by the police. In order to frame her, the Cao'An police took out four pieces of paper money with "Falun Dafa Is Good" characters written on them and claimed that those bills were taken from her. She had only carried a red purse with "The World Needs Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" characters on it.
Twice before Ms. Chen had been persecuted while being detained at Qingpu Women's Forced Labor Camp because of her truth-clarification activities. One time it was for two years while the other time it was for one year. While at the forced labor camp, her arms were fastened behind her back and she was hung from the window's iron bars. She was detained in an isolated cell. In the summer, she was forced to work for long stretches, day and night. She was reported while clarifying the truth using paper money in Huaqiao, Kunshan City, Jiangsu Province. She was detained again.
The communist regime has exhausted it's most shameless and devious methods to persecute kind people who live by the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.

Hundreds of People in Shuangcheng, Harbin, Call for the Release of Falun Gong Practitioner Ms. Li Lanying
By a Minghui correspondent in Heilongjiang Province
(Clearwisdom.net)
On December 2, 2009, Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Li Lanying was illegally sentenced to a four-year prison term by the Shuangcheng People's Court, Harbin, Heilongjiang Province. Ms. Li and her husband Mr. Gao Guang'en were persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party (CPP), which made people in Shuangcheng angry at the local government. More than four hundred people stood up and called for the unconditional release of Ms. Li. At the end of December 2009, Ms. Li's family appealed to Harbin Intermediate People's Court.
Ms. Li was born on October 15, 1956. She lives in Min'an Village, Wujia Town, Shuangcheng. Before practicing Falun Gong, she suffered from many diseases and her husband lost his ability to work due to his cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. At one time, this drove the couple to thoughts of suicide because of their diseases and poor living conditions. However, when they heard about Falun Gong, they started practicing it, and within only a few months, all their chronic diseases were gone. They benefited tremendously from Falun Gong physically and mentally, and they were able to start a new life.
However, soon the CCP started the persecution of Falun Gong and Mr. Gao was illegally held in a detention center and severely tortured. When he was released, the local police broke into their home, kidnapped him, ransacked their home and harassed them again and again. On January 5, 2006, sadly, Mr Gao passed away due to the brutal torture. (Please refer to http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2006/3/7/70579.html)
On September 9, 2009, when Ms. Li was talking to people about Falun Gong, Zhang Dahai, head of Shuangjing Village, and Wang Jun, Party Secretary, reported her to the police. Xu Kai, director of Wujia Police Station, and police officers Yang Zhongwei and Wang Changqi abducted her and broke into her home. They took a computer, a printer and other personal property. Later, they sent Ms. Li to Harbin No. 2 Detention Center (which is also called Duck Nest).
On September 28, 2009, Ms. Li's family went to Wujia Police Station and demanded her unconditional release. However the police refused and Yang Zhongwei, vice director of Wujia Police Station, shouted at them rudely: "Just go ahead and try to sue us!"
Tong Huiqun from the Shuangcheng Domestic Security Division, together with police officers from Wujia Police Station, falsified evidence against Ms. Li and submitted it to the Procuratorate three times, concocting a false charge against her. Their charge was rebutted the first two times, however, on the third occasion, Zhang Hailong, a prosecuting officer from Shuangcheng Procuratorate accepted the case without investigating. He submitted the charge to Shuangcheng People's Court.
On December 2, 2009, Shuangcheng People's Court placed Ms. Li on "trial." A day before the trial, Ms. Li's family asked when it would take place, but they were told that the date had not been decided. Through her family's efforts in making different inquiries, they finally found out that Ms. Li was going to trial in half an hour. They hurried to the court and saw Ms. Li who was very weak due to the torture. Although it was a bitterly cold winter in northern China, she was only allowed to wear slippers. It was verified later that when Ms. Li went on a hunger strike to protest, the police brutally forced-fed her several times. They even threatened her, saying: "If you still say you won't quit practicing Falun Gong, we will force-feed you every day!"Ms. Li was badly tortured and she developed high blood-pressure and became very weak.
The whole process of the illegal trial lasted for less than 20 minutes. Judge Wu Haomin, two judicial officials Zheng He and Xu Bingquan, secretary Zhao Yu, prosecuting officer Zhang Hailong, several police, and Ms. Li's family were the only people allowed to be present at the trial. The judge and judicial officers asked a few token questions and then called it a day.
Seeing Ms. Li in court, her family knew that she had been brutally tortured. They requested to see Ms. Li in the detention center, however, the prosecuting officer in the detention center said: "We cannot let you see her, because if you saw her, Ms. Li could appeal. If that happened, then our efforts would be in vain."
On December 9, 2009, the judges from the Shuangcheng People's Court broke the law and illegally sentenced Ms. Li to a four-year prison term. She appealed to the Harbin Intermediate People's Court. Wang Yutang from the second tribunal accepted her appeal.
Ms. Li is in now in Shuangcheng Detention Center. More than four hundred villagers from Wujia Town and neighboring towns, and people in Shuangcheng, decided to help her by signing a petition that asked the police to unconditionally release her. Some of these people had seen for themselves how Ms. Li changed miraculously after practicing Falun Gong, and others heard about the miraculous change. They knew that Ms. Li and her family were persecuted by the CCP, and they wanted to give a hand.
Personnel involved in the persecution and their contact information:
Wang Yutang, judge of Harbin Intermediate People's Court: 86-451-2377094, 86-451-82377430

Persecution Suffered: Electric shock, sleep deprivation, forced labor, brainwashing, illegal sentencing, beatings, torture, force-feedings, extortion, dismissed from workplace, physical restraint, home ransacked, interrogation, detention
(Clearwisdom.net) (By a correspondent from Jilin Province) Mr. Liu Ruisheng began practicing Falun Dafa in 1995. He strictly disciplined himself according to Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and was well-loved by his boss and colleagues. On November 1, 2000, he went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Dafa, and he was picked up by agents from the Power Bureau Police Office and directly taken to the Liaoyuan City Detention Center. Mr. Liu was sentenced to 15 months of forced labor, which he served in the Baiquan Forced Labor Camp in Liaoyuan City. His employer was forced to dismiss him from his job, leaving him wtih no income. His wife was also forced to divorce him under huge pressure. In the labor camp, Liu Ruisheng was shocked with electric batons many times and locked in a metal cage. This cage had no light and was too small for him to stand up or lie down, making living very miserable.
In April 2003, Mr. Liu was arrested for the second time and sentenced to three years of forced labor. He was imprisoned in the Chaoyanggou Forced Labor Camp in Changchun City. He was even more cruelly tortured there with methods such as electric baton shocks and being stripped then forced to stand in a tub in the winter while guards sprayed cold water on him. In the latter torture method, he was not allowed to move, or the guard would beat him. They tortured him in this manner for several hours. The abuse ruined Mr. Liu's physical health, and he became ill with severe tuberculosis. He was released on medical parole in January 2005.
On April 23, 2006, Liaoyuan City Domestic Security agents arrested Liu Ruisheng at his home and detained him in a detention center for three months. Mr. Liu vomited blood several times, and he was released on bail on July 28, 2006. His health improved in a month, but the Domestic Security agents and local police officers kept harassing him, monitoring all his activities, and restricting his personal freedom.
On the evening of December 4, 2006, several officers came to Mr. Liu's home again, claiming that they were checking his physical condition, and they deceived him into answering some questions, after which they took him away. They called his parents around 8 p.m. and said that Mr. Liu would be returning home in a few days.
The very next day, on December 5, 2006, Mr. Liu Ruisheng and eight other Falun Dafa practitioners were all sentenced to prison. These nine practitioners all appealed the decision, but the Liaoyuan City Middle Court sustained the original sentencing and issued final sentencing on January 24, 2007. Mr. Liu was sentenced to nine years in prison.
At noon on January 26, 2007, five male practitioners were taken to the Shiling Prison in Siping City, and four female practitioners were taken to the Heizuizi Women's Labor Camp in Changchun City on January 29, 2007. Mr. Liu had tuberculosis and fluid in his chest, so he was detained in the Liaoyuan City Detention Center for three more months.
Due to his severely compromised physical condition, Mr. Liu's family demanded that he be released on parole. Afterwards, the local police constantly harassed him at home, sending agents to watch him. He had no income and lived a very difficult life. Mr. Liu died on January 3, 2010, survived by his elderly parents and young child.

Young Teacher Jailed for Over Ten Years; Her Whole Family Suffers Persecution
By a Clearwisdom correspondent in Guangdong Province, China
(Clearwisdom.net) Because of her belief in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, a young female teacher was arrested in November 1999 and is serving a prison sentence of 13 years. Her husband became homeless and destitute after serving four years in prison and her mother has been in a forced labor camp for two years. Her brother and sister-in-law have been sentenced to two and a half years and two years of forced labor respectively.
Unjust 13-Year Prison Sentence
Ms. Zhu Yuhong was born in 1975 and was a teacher at Jiafu Primary School in Guangzhou City in Guangdong Province, as well as the person in charge at the Huanan Agricultural College Assistant Center. She was one of those charged in the first group arrest and heavy sentencing of Falun Gong practitioners in Guangzhou in November 1999. Because she refused to supply any information to the police or betray her belief, Ms. Zhu was sentenced to 13 years. She is currently being detained in the Guangdong Province Women's Prison.
In November 1999, a truth-clarification materials production site at Huanan Agricultural College was destroyed and 16 Falun Gong practitioners were arrested by police from the Tianhe District 610 Office and Wushan Police Station in Tianhe District. Ten practitioners were sentenced to anywhere from three to 13 years. Six practitioners were sent to a forced labor camp. Most of these practitioners were students, such as Zhu Dezhi, who was sentenced to 11 years.
Zhu Yuhong graduated from a performing arts school and is a skilled vocalist and dancer. She was an outstanding language teacher and was only 24 years old at the time of her arrest. She was detained at Tianhe District Detention Center for the first three years after her arrest, before she was transferred to Guangdong Province Women's Prison in 2003. Because Zhu Yuhong told people in the detention center about Falun Gong and exposed the lies set forth by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), she was put in foot shackles, beaten and locked up in a small cell until her buttocks festered with sores. The guards refused to give her treatment. Only when maggots began to crawl on her body did they release her.
On New Year's Eve in 2002 , Zhu Yuhong and several other practitioners were practicing the Falun Gong exercises together. Police Station manager Zhu Yongwen and a guard with the last name of Zheng locked them up in confinement and instigated other prisoners to mercilessly torture Ms. Zhu. When she learned that she was given a sentence of 13 years for practicing Falun Gong, she ran out of the cell and went to the guard's office to appeal. She was charged with escaping, however, and tortured with "thread needle and shackles." She was forced to remain on the ground. She could not eat, sleep or go to the toilet by herself and suffered enormous physical and mental torment. Moreover, police refused her family visits and refused to answer any inquiry from her family members regarding her well-being.
Husband Sentenced to Four Years and Remains Destitute
Mr. Shi Huiwen, Zhu Yuhong's husband, was born in 1970 and was a graduate of Huanan University of Science and Technology. He was an outstanding engineer for Guangdong Province Steel and Iron Research Institute. Mr. Shi was sentenced to four years in January 2003 and taken to Shaoguan Beijiang Prison.
While detained in Tianhe District Detention Center, guards forced Shi Huiwen to sit by a pond for two months, and "reconsider his crimes." In Shaoguan Beijiang Prison, Deputy Warden Zhu Jianping led a team of officers to attack Mr. Shi. He was subjected to sleep deprivation for over a month.
After four years in prison, Shi Huiwen returned to his former workplace. However, Tianhe District 610 Office agents did not stop tormenting him. Tianhe security officers secretly instructed the network officer at Mr. Shi's workplace to change his IP to a fixed IP, so they could monitor his Internet activities.
In the afternoon of April 11, 2007, the Tianhe District 610 Office in Guangzhou City again initiated a mass arrest of local Falun Gong practitioners. Practitioners Xu Juhua and married couple Lin Jianping and Hu Wenjin were arrested, while Shi Huiwen, who was not at his workplace at the time, escaped arrest. At that time, police officers from the Guangzhou Police Station colluded with the Zengcheng Police Station and forcefully broke into Mr. Shi's workplace dormitory. They stole his computer, a removable disc, a USB cable and other personal items.
Mother and Brother Suffer Brutal Persecution
On November 22, 2004, at approximately 10:30 a.m., policeman Ruan Peihong from the Chigang Police Station and residential committee staff member Wei Hongqing, in the name of "fire prevention," entered the Flying Tiger Window Blind Shop on West Yiyuan Road. The officers claimed that they needed to use the restroom, but instead climbed up the wooden ladder and entered the shop. They saw Liu Huaiying, Zhu Yuhong's mother, and shop owner Xie Wenrui's mother-in-law reading a Falun Dafa book. They abruptly snatched the book from Ms. Liu's hands. She fell down the stairs and then ran to the street.
The police chased her down the street and arrested her. They also arrested Zhu Rencheng, the shop owner's husband and Zhu Yuhong's brother. The police ransacked the shop without a search warrant. They stole a computer, printer, laminated paper and other personal belongings.
Xie Wenrui, Zhu Yuhong's sister-in-law, was by then the only adult left in the family. It was a cold winter, and she had only given birth two months prior, when she was forced to close the shop. Her finances were limited and she still had to take care of her baby. She continued to wonder where her mother-in-law and her husband were and if they were okay. After a long time, she finally heard that her mother-in-law and husband had been sentenced to two years and two and a half years of forced labor respectively. Liu Huaiying was taken to Guangzhou City Chatou Forced Labor Camp, and Zhu Rencheng was taken to Brigade No. 3 at the Guangzhou City No. 1 Forced Labor Camp.
Liu Huaiying continues to practices Falun Dafa at the camp. She is often punished by chief Lu, who forces her to sit naked on a small stool for long periods of time. He beats her with electric batons until she loses consciousness, and then pours cold water on her. Sometimes she is forced to stand for a long time and subjected to sleep deprivation. The police officers also incite inmates charged with drug offenses to often curse and beat Ms. Liu. In the "strict discipline" room, where many Falun Gong practitioners are detained and where she had been held for some time, windows are sealed up with newspaper and no contact with others is allowed. Practitioners held in this room are not allowed to shower and toilet use is significantly limited. Only brief family visits are allowed and the purchase of daily items are restricted. Practitioners are monitored by two prisoners each and cannot exercise any personal freedom. Broadcasts of propaganda slandering Falun Gong are played loudly and almost continuously in the discipline room to brainwash practitioners.
Ms. Liu Huaiying, over 60 years old, was denied family visits for a long time. Only after family members filed formal complaints was Ms. Liu allowed to meet with her family. She shed tears as she talked about her experience in the camp, how police often beat people and how they tortured her until she fainted, pouring cold water on her to wake her up. She talked about how the camp officials used every brutal method to persecute detained Falun Gong practitioners, forcing female practitioners to sit naked on a small stool and torturing them with electric batons. It is well-known that practitioners' bodies have countless scars from torture.
Xie Wenrui, Zhu Yuhong's sister-in-law, once served two years of forced labor. In addition, because Zhu Yuhong's uncle persisted in practicing Falun Gong, he suffered maltreatment and passed away. Zhu Yuhong's uncle was a Guangdong Provincial government official, over 60 years old. He received many benefits from practicing Falun Gong, and many of his illnesses disappeared without treatment.
