1. [Zhengzhou City, Henan Province] Four Guancheng District Falun Dafa Practitioners Unlawfully Sentenced to Prison

Four Falun Dafa practitioners from the Guancheng District, Zhengzhou City were arrested in their homes during the months of May and June 2003. They are Quan Peijian, Ms. Zang Yufeng, Ms. Feng Caiqin, and Ms. Li Huizhen. State security section officials Li Yong and Wang Zhenfu, led other officers of the Guancheng District Branch Police Department, to brutally torture the four practitioners during the interrogation sessions. The practitioners were slapped, struck with charged electric batons, stripped naked, and hung upside down by their feet. The officers burned their bodies with cigarettes, applied electric shocks, struck them with clubs, and placed motorcycle helmets over their heads while filling the helmets with smoke. The practitioners were deprived of sleep for days and nights. When the practitioners were no longer able to think rationally, the officers imprinted their fingerprints in place of signatures onto fabricated "confessions".

On June 20, 2003, the four practitioners were transferred to the Zhengzhou City No. 1 Detention Center (the Eighth Section) where they were forced to work almost twenty hours a day during their unlawful custody. On July 14, 2003, the Guancheng District Branch Police Department announced that seven practitioners were formally arrested. Four of the arrested practitioners were secretly tried at 3:00 p.m. on December 29, 2003 by the Guancheng District Court. The prosecutor could not get the charges to match facts and the trial did not go anywhere.

After several months of fabricating evidence, the Guancheng District Procuratorate and Court forced the sentencing of the four practitioners based on false evidence, provided by the Guancheng District Branch Police Department. The practitioners were granted only three days to file an appeal. Unlawful prison terms for the four Falun Dafa practitioners were distributed as follows: Quan Peijian, 5 years; Zang Yufeng, 5 years; Feng Caiqin, 4 years; Li Huiling, 3 years.
