1. [Changchun City, Jilin Province] Torture of Practitioner Wang Yuling

Practitioner Ms. Wang Yuling, 48 years old, is from Dongfeng County, Jilin Province. She had joined in the effort of tapping into the Changchun TV network to broadcast a video clarifying the truth about Falun Gong. At the end of 2002, she was sentenced to 13 years of imprisonment. Currently Wang Yuling is being held at the city's Tiebei Forced Labor Camp Hospital, where she has been tortured. She was hung up by the police from her handcuffs and later subjected to the Tiger Bench.

Due to severe torture, Wang Yuling has become so weak that she cannot take care of herself and is suffering from severe heart problems. Her life is in imminent danger. No one is taking care of her in the hospital, since the police are not allowing her family to visit her. The authorities in the Shuangyang No. 3 Detention Center agreed to let her serve her 13-year sentence outside prison, but officials from the former Chaoyang District Court and Chaoyang District's Prosecutor's Office have not agreed to release her.

The Yingdong District "610 Office" held a brainwashing session and captured eight practitioners from Kouzi Town and Chahua Town by deceiving them.

10. [Xiangtan City, Hunan Province] Persecution of Several Dafa Practitioners During the Time of the Two Conferences (1)

During the Two Conferences, Xiangtan City's "610 Office" personnel and people from the Political and Judiciary Committee took special efforts to arrest Dafa practitioners in Xiangtan City and sent them to brainwashing sessions. Targeting Xiao Zhixiang and Zhang Yaqin as "key practitioners", they forcibly sent these two to the "Legal System Education Base" for further brainwashing.

Several practitioners went to Beijing to appeal during the period of the Two Conferences, which led to their latest campaigns to arrest practitioners. Policemen from Yuetang District's National Security Team were the ones responsible for the arrests. The following are practitioners who were arrested and sent to forced labor camps:

Tang Peilin, arrested on June 18, two years of forced labor;
