It is unknown where Mr. Du Kesong is imprisoned.

Ms. Yu Zhenghong went on a hunger strike during the detention period to the point that she became very weak. She was sent to a hospital where it was determined that her life was in danger. On October 10, Ms. Yu was sent home in a car. Mr. Lin Jixiao went on a hunger strike for half a month and his life is now in jeopardy as well.

2. [Shanghai] Mr. Lin Mingli, Brother of Mr. Lin Shenli, Arrested for the Fifth Time

The Shanghai Putuo District police illegally arrested Dafa practitioner Mr. Lin Mingli, younger brother of Canadian Falun Gong practitioner, Mr. Lin Shenli. This is the fifth time that Lin Mingli has been illegally arrested since the persecution started on July 20, 1999.

Lin Mingli, 48 years old, lived on Anyuan Rd., Putuo District, Shanghai. Around 11:30 p.m. on October 9, 2005, the Shanghai Putuo police deceived Lin Mingli into going downstairs, whereupon they illegally arrested him. Now Mr. Lin is imprisoned in the Shanghai Putuo District Detention Center.

The first time Lin Mingli was arrested was in December 1999. He had gone to the Beijing Appeals Bureau to appeal for the right to practice Falun Dafa, but the police escorted him back to Shanghai and illegally imprisoned him.

One day before the Chinese New Year, the Shanghai police arrested Lin Mingli again and charged him with "sabotaging legal practice." He was illegally imprisoned for a month because of this groundless crime. The police also confiscated Mr. Lin's personal items from his home.

In January 2001, the police forced Lin Mingli to go to the Shanghai Legal School (a brainwashing center) in Qingpu, Shanghai. Mr. Lin refused to cooperate while there, so the police illegally extended his sentence by three months. Lin Mingli was released on April 19. This was the third time that Mr. Lin was illegally imprisoned.

Only four days after being released, Lin Mingli was unlawfully arrested near a pay phone. One year after Mr. Lin disappeared, his wife received written notification that her husband had been "sentenced to a forced labor camp." Lin Mingli was charged with "disturbing social order" and sentenced to two years in the labor camp. He was first imprisoned in the Falun Gong Special Managing Middle Team in the Shanghai City First Forced Labor Camp in Dafeng, Jiangsu Province. His brother Lin Shenli was also tortured at this site and was rescued and brought to Canada in February 2002. Later Lin Mingli was transferred to another middle team for forced labor reform. In March 2002, Mr. Lin and other practitioners were transferred to the Third Male Forced Labor Camp in Qingpu District, Shanghai, where the torture was continued. During this period, Lin Mingli went on a hunger strike to protest his illegal arrest and the maltreatment and torture he experienced in the camp. While he was incarcerated, Mr. Lin was force-fed, which punctured his esophagus. He couldn't eat or drink anything for a long time after that. Mr. Lin was released from the camp on March 26, 2003, with the power of his righteous thoughts.
