1. [Beijing] Deceased Falun Gong Practitioner Mr. Liu Chengjun's Sister Liu Lin Arrested

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Liu Lin disappeared in Beijing a month ago. She is the older sister of practitioner Mr. Liu Chengjun who was tortured to death due to his involvement in broadcasting programs that exposed the brutality of the persecution against Falun Gong on Changchun City's television. Recently, personnel from the No. 5 Group of the Pre-judicator Division of the Tongzhou District's Police Department in Beijing informed her family that Ms. Liu was arrested in Beijing on December 17, 2004. Police also told her family that after the sentencing they would send her back to a prison in Jilin.

In November 2004, Liu Lin published an article on Minghui.net recounting her brother Liu Chengjun's stories and how the police had brutally tortured him. The reason for Ms. Liu's arrest is still unclear.

According to information from Minghui.net, Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Zhang Wenhua and Ms. Ning Yuying from Shenyang City were arrested on the same day in Beijing.

2. [Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province] Falun Gong Practitioner Jiang Lanying Has Protested Her Illegal Persecution in Prison by Staging Hunger Strikes Lasting Over Two Years

Practitioner Ms. Jiang Lanying, 39 years old, is from Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province. In November 1999, personnel from Nanchang City's Qingshan Road Police Precinct arrested her because she went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. Thus she was held at the city's Women's Drug Rehabilitation Center (Jiangxi Province's Women's Forced Labor Camp) for three years. She went on a hunger strike to protest the forced labor sentence and was tortured almost to death. She was released in November 2001. However, in July 2002, personnel from the police precinct arrested her from her home again because she put out Falun Gong banners. Afterwards, Ms. Jiang was sentenced to five years of imprisonment. So far, including in 2005, she has protested the persecution with hunger strikes for over two years. She is being held at the province's Changzheng Hospital (the former provincial forced labor hospital). Her mother went to visit her, but she was not allowed to see her daughter and was not even given permission to deliver some winter clothes for her. Ms. Jiang's present situation is unclear.

Mr. Yu Shenghe was detained for over a month. Ms. Zhai Xiuhua was held in the detention center eight days. Later she was transferred to another detention center seven days. Personnel from the city's 610 Office forced the family to hand over ten thousand yuan. Afterwards the enforcers attempted to put Mr. Yu into the Changle Forced Labor Camp, but at the physical exam he was found to suffer from a severe, contagious disease, so the forced labor camp refused to admit him. 610 Office personnel sent Mr. Yu to Weifang City's 610 Office. The latter also refused to accept Mr. Yu after they saw his health profile. Then they released him right away.

At around 6:00 a.m. on December 9, 2004, officer Yang from Changyi City's 610 Office and personnel from the Shipu Police Precinct including Zhai Jiantao climbed over the roof of Mr. Yu's neighbor onto Mr. Yu's roof.

On May 13, 2001, Falun Dafa Day, police arrested practitioner Mr. Zhang Qingchao from Quzhou County, Handan City, when he was posting Falun Gong truth-clarifying slogans in the Liang'erzhuang Village of Qiu County, Handan City. Personnel from the Liang'erzhuang Police Precinct brutally tortured him and hit his lower leg with a thick metal rod. Police attempted to force him to give up his belief in "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." Mr. Zhang Qingchao was determined and would not give in. After they failed, police admitted him to Qiu County's Detention Center where Mr. Zhang went on a hunger strike to protest. Police brutally tortured him with force-feeding. Twelve days later, they still could not force Zhang to give in, so they released him in fear of having to take any responsibility for any adverse consequences.

Shortly after they released him, personnel from Qiu County's Police Precinct sentenced Mr. Zhang to forced labor without any legal procedures being followed. In collusion with Houcun Town's Police Precinct, the Quzhou County's Police Department continued to harass Zhang's family for a long time.

In June 2003, Mr. Zhang went to the township government to get back to work, since he was an officer of the Township government.

12. [Shulan City, Jilin Province] Practitioner Zhang Guomin Persecuted

In December 1999, practitioner Mr. Zhang Guomin, a resident at No. 1 Hexi Street, Banguang Mine in Jishu Town, Shulian City, was sentenced to one year of forced labor because of practicing Falun Gong. He was eventually released in May 2001 after six-month extension of his term. In August 2001 when Mr. Zhang Guomin was listening to Master's lecture tape at home, local policemen including Li Haisheng and Zhang broke into his house, confiscated the tape and ordered him to hand in other tapes. Mr. Zhang refused. Using this as an excuse, the policemen planned to arrest him. With the power of righteous thoughts, Mr. Zhang Guomin escaped but had to lead a homeless life to avoid illegal arrest.

In early November 2004, Mr. Zhang Guomin returned home and lived there for more than one month. At 8:00 a.m. on December 10, the director of the local police precinct and policemen Li Haisheng and Sun Jinku from the 610 Office broke into Mr. Zhang's house. He told them the principle that good will be rewarded with good and evil receives retribution, but they did not listen. They were angry and tried to take Zhang Guomin away again. When two policemen went out of the house, Zhang's wife stopped the last one, so Zhang took the chance and escaped out the back door.

13. [Liaoning Province] Torture in Masanjia Forced Labor Camp Causes Ms. Fu Yunjie's Heart Disease to Recur

Practitioner Ms. Fu Yunjie, 45 years old, lives in the No.4 Group of Talagao Village, Talagao Town, Longcheng District, Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province. Her husband is Zhang Jinghe. On June 23, 2003, she took a taxi to her mother's home in Dongguanyingzi Village in Beipiao City, Liaoning Province. Because she clarified the truth to the taxi driver, personnel from the Dongguan Police Precinct and the National Security Team of Beipiao City's Police Department arrested her from her mother's home. On July 18, 2003, Ms. Fu Yunjie was sentenced to two years of forced labor in the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp.

Recently, according to a reliable source from the No.2 Women's Center of the forced labor camp, Ms. Fu Yunjie's heart disease has recurred because of torture. Before Ms. Fu started practicing Falun Gong, she had heart disease and was once in coma. Doctors had told her that her heart was not healthy and she could die at any time. Because of her poor financial condition, she did not have enough money for treatment. After she joined Falun Gong practice, her diseases disappeared and since then she has been in good health. She was even able to do heavy work. Fu Yunjie is presently very weak and cannot even speak. Her life hangs by a thread.

Ms. Chi Hongying was an employee of the Shenhai Thermoelectricity Factory in Shenyang City. In September 2001, the factory sent her to a local brainwashing class. Due to the brutal torture, she gave up Falun Gong practice against her will. But after she went back, she realized what she did was wrong, so she wrote a solemn announcement declaring that her words and deeds under forced brainwashing were null and void. The factory continued to monitor her, which put great pressure on her family. Her husband couldn't bear such mental persecution and divorced her. Ms. Chi Hongying had to resign and temporarily live at her relative's home. In August 2002, she was arrested for clarifying the truth of Falun Gong. Currently, she is being detained in the No.6 Division of Nanjing City's Women's Prison. It was heard that Chi Hongying's health is poor.
