1. [Huaihua City, Hunan Province] Dafa Practitioner Mr. Pan Jianjun is Nearly Cremated Alive by Prison Authorities
Dafa practitioners Yang Xiaofei, Ms. Xiang Zaoxia, Ms. Zheng Hongxia, Li Shirong, Mr. Chen Kaimin and Mr. Pan Jianjun from Huaihua City, Hunan Province, were sentenced from 7 to 11 years of imprisonment and have been detained almost one year. In October they went on a hunger strike for about 20 days. Later, the male practitioners were sent to the Jinshi City Prison in the Changde area. The female practitioners were sent to Changsha City's Women's Prison.
Dafa practitioner Mr. Pan Jianjun was in a coma when he arrived at the prison. When the prison authorities attempted to cremate him, he regained consciousness. Afterwards, they sent him to the "tightly administered group" in the No.6 Team for further persecution. His present situation is not fully known.
Policemen from the No.2 Detention and Dispatch Center in the Jinshi City Prison claim that, "We forcibly transform practitioners. We put handcuffs and shackles on every practitioner and torture those who continue practicing. We just carry out orders. We admit that we are just persecution tools. If we did not obey the orders, we could lose our jobs."
2. [Shenyang City, Liaoning Province] Dafa Practitioners are Tortured at the Zhangshi Brainwashing Center
"610 Office" * personnel from the Qixian Street Administration Office and policemen from the Qixian Police Precinct in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province forcibly put Dafa practitioners into the Zhangshi Brainwashing Center. There are about 40 so-called education collaborators in the brainwashing center who assist in persecuting Dafa practitioners. Practitioners detained there were at first forced to sit on small stools. Then the "collaborators"** encircled practitioners and defamed Dafa, quoting Dafa teachings out of context. If a practitioner started to clarify the truth, these collaborators together would verbally abuse him or her. Practitioners who go on a hunger strike for over three days would be force-fed. The brainwashing center also applies other torture methods, such as depriving practitioners of sleep, monitoring practitioners around the clock, and forcing practitioners to squat without a stool.
At present, Ms. Shi Shengying, a 63-year-old practitioner from Shenyang City's Tiexi District, and practitioner Mr. Guo Ning, a teacher at a school for the blind, have both been illegally detained at the brainwashing center and tortured.
