Facts of the Persecution

1) Falun Gong Practitioners Brutally Tortured at the Daqing City Detention Center in Liaoning Province

In the middle of December 2004, over 20 practitioners were detained at the Daqing City Detention Center. Most of these practitioners were women. In order to protest against the illegal detention, many of them went on a hunger strike. A male practitioner was force fed on January 17 and 18. Two female practitioners were chained to an iron chair for two days in a row. One of them had blood in her stool as a result of the torture. Zhang Bin, was tortured badly and he now has been transferred to Sawetu District Detention Center in Daqing City. On January 12, 2005, the legal division of Daqing City Police Department sentenced 10 female practitioners to forced labor education and had them sent to Harbin City Drug Rehabilitation Center. Four of the practitioners were very weak due to a long-term hunger strike and they could not even walk by themselves. They were dragged into the police van.

3) Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners at Baoding City Labor Camp in Hebei Province

Captain Liu Ziwei handcuffed Ms. Wang Xinru, 60, on November 24, 2004, because she insisted on practicing Falun Gong exercises. Liu also shocked her with electric batons. She was handcuffed for a whole day.

Li Ruiying went on a hunger strike and was later put on IV. During the IV process, Liu Ziwei beat her and shocked her with electric batons.

Huang Fenghua went on a hunger strike and was force fed. When the guards finished force feeding her, they dragged her all the way back to her cell. As a result, her pants were torn apart. Later, because she could not do hard labor due to diarrhea, her sentence was extended for three months. In order to get her back to work, the guards even injected some unknown drug into her.

Dai Keping, in her 50s, was shocked with electric batons. She was hung up for over half a month.

The labor camp doctor Du purposely tormented practitioners on hunger strike during the force-feeding process. He inserted the feeding tubes into the practitioners in a harsh manner. Most of the time, he didn't bother to take out the tube after force-feeding.

In 2003, a captain Ding Yanping tortured practitioners using various means, including beating and electric shock.

Practitioners were forced to do hard labor for over a dozen hours. They could not go to bed until 11 pm, sometimes not until 3 or 4 in the morning.

5) My Experience of "Taking a Bloody Bath"

My name is Yang Wenyu and I am 28 years old. I live in Luoguoba Commune, Qiao Village, Shilong Town, Banan District, Chongqing City. In March 2001, I submitted a written statement declaring my resolution to continue Falun Gong practice to the Huashi Town government. On July 19, 2001, I was kidnapped and taken to Shitan Police Station. The police slapped me so fiercely that I spun 360 degrees and then fell to the ground. I could see nothing at that moment. Then I was handcuffed for a whole night. The second day I was sent to Banan District Detention Center. There the detainees forced me to take off all my clothes and take a bath. What they did was to pour water into my mouth, nose, eyes and ears. I almost choked to death. Later I heard the detainees call such torture "taking a bloody bath." It was extremely painful, especially during freezing winter.
