4. [Shanghai City] Practitioner Ms. Pei Shanzhen Arrested while Distributing Truth-Clarifying Materials

Ms. Pei Shanzhen is sixty-one years old and lives at Room 1508, No. 2, 183 Lane, Nanyang Road, Jingan District, Shanghai. She is a retired teacher from Xiangqun Middle School, which has merged with Shixi Middle School.

In 2001, for talking about the benefits of Falun Gong and exposing details of the persecution, she was sent to a forced labor camp for two years. In September 2004, she sent an appeal letter to the Shanghai Supreme Court. In her letter, she described her personal experience of practicing Falun Dafa, and the unfair treatment she had received from the judiciary. She pointed out that the Shanghai authorities are covering up their corruption, that incarcerating her is unlawful, and that the judiciary is using its power to override laws and deceive the people while presenting the image of behaving lawfully.

In March 2005, Pei Shanzhen was followed and arrested while distributing truth-clarifying materials in a residential area. She is still being held in the Jingan Detention Center in Shanghai.

5. [Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province] Practitioner Ms. Xu Fengjuan Arrested and Sent to the Sanshui Brainwashing Center

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival (September 18, 2005), six people from the Zhuhai 610 Office and Xu Fengjuan's employer (China Bank, Zhuhai Branch) arrested Ms. Xu Fengjuan in her home and sent her to the Sanshui Brainwashing Center.

Prior to this incident, Xu Fengjuan was tortured inhumanely by personnel from the Zhuhai 610 Office and her employer. She was sent to a mental hospital and injected with harmful drugs, which severely damaged her physical and mental well-being.

6. [Chongqing City] Many Falun Dafa Practitioners Are Arrested by the Local Police Department for Clarifying the Truth

On the morning of September 14, 2005, Chongqing City's Kai County Police Department, State Security officials, 610 Office, and Zhongxinxiang Community Office staff split into groups and broke into the homes of Falun Dafa practitioners Ms. Tan Zuqiong, Liu Deying, Ms. Li Qifeng and others. Besides confiscating the practitioner's Falun Dafa books and materials, the perpetrators also seized approximately 600 yuan in cash and bank deposit slips worth 30,000 yuan from Liu Deying's home. Tan Zuqiong was arrested, and Liu Deying and Li Qifeng were forced to leave their homes. The main perpetrators of this persecution of Falun Gong practitioners were Gao Liangbing (Zhongxinxiang Community Office, telephone 86-23-52865688) and Yang Daojin (driver), who reported the practitioner's activities to the 610 Office and the State Security Bureau. The county police department, State Security officials, and 610 Office went to Zhongxinxiang and conspired for three days before making the arrests.

7. [Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] Liu Zhigui Brutally Tortured at Hulan Prison

Ever since Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Liu Zhigui was sent to the Hulan Prison in March 2005, the guards have brutally beaten him to make him sign the Three Statements. They forced him to stand facing the wall all day, assigned criminal inmates to watch and follow him, limited his basic freedom, and did not allow anyone to visit him. Liu Zhigui has been tortured both physically and mentally. To protest the inhuman treatment, Liu went on a hunger strike on September 7. He was ignored for eleven days. Early in the morning on the 16th, Liu Zhigui's breathing was shallow and he had almost no pulse. Only then was he sent to the hospital emergency room.

8. [Guiyang City, Guizhou Province] Several Falun Dafa Practitioners Sentenced to Prison

On August 24, 2005, Longdongbao Police Station of Guiyang City, Guizhou Province, arrested practitioners Ms. Xie Jianying, Ms. Yin Suhua, Kang Zhongrong, Ms. Wang Li, and others. At the time, officials from the Guizhou City's State Security Brigade, the local police department, State Security Office, 610 Office, and the Political and Judiciary Committee unlawfully tried the practitioners. Xie Jianying was sent to Guiyang City's Jinyangxin District Detention Center, and Kang Zhongrong and Wang Li were sent to Guiyang City's Nanming District Administrative Detention Center.

On September 8, Kang Zhongrong, Wang Li, and others were sentenced to one year in a forced labor camp. No family members have ever been allowed to visit Xie Jianying, Kang Zhongrong, or Wang Li.

9. [Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province] Police Arrest Wei Yingxin from His Home

Guangzhou practitioner Wei Yingxin was arrested by policemen around noon on September 12, 2005.

At 2:40 p.m., policemen tried to use a key to open Mr. Wei's door. However, the door was locked on the inside, so they could not get in. The officers then ordered Wei Yingxin's family to open the door. When his family refused to cooperate, the police used a meter-long metal pole to force the two stainless steel doors apart. Both doors are now damaged and can't be closed properly, and the lock is completely ruined. Approximately 10 officers, some in uniform and some in plainclothes, rushed in. The family asked the police officers to show their identifications and badge numbers. About half of the people left in a hurry, which left five or six people, who proceeded to confiscate personal items from the home. The badge numbers of two of the policemen were 019094 and 020540.

Right now, Wei Yingxin is jailed at the Yuexiu District Detention Center. His cell number is 121. His ninety-year-old mother cries every day, refuses food and water, and is yearning for her son's return.

Yuexiu District Detention Center address: No. 171, Chatouxizhou North Road, Guangzhou City, Zip Code 510435

Note:

(1) Small Cell: Each detainee is locked in a very small cage. The guards handcuff practitioners on their back in a fixed position, so the practitioners can neither move nor lie down. The small cell is very damp and dark. Detainees have to relieve themselves in the cell. Only half of a regular meal is served to the practitioners. During the night rats run through the cages. The stench in the small cell is so strong that it is difficult to breathe.
