  • 3. [Langfang City, Hebei Province] Retired Worker Mr. Zhang Fengde's Pension Stopped

    Fifty-nine-year-old Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Zhang Fengde is a retired Ping Opera (1) actor. Just days before the Chinese New Year, his pension was revoked for no apparent reason. He went to talk to Gong Junsheng, the head of the local culture center, but Gong Junsheng said that he didn't have any information on why his pension was stopped. Mr. Zhang then went to ask the director of the Culture Bureau, who also said he didn't know the reason, but suggested that he ask the Guangyang District 610 Office.

    The act of canceling a retired worker's pension without a reason is a violation of a citizen's legitimate rights and interests. In this case, it took away the retired worker's only source of income.

    (1) Ping Opera: A type of Chinese opera sung in a local dialect.

    4. [Chongqing City] Practitioner Mr. Liu Xinyu Tortured

    On December 11, 2004, practitioner Mr. Liu Xinyu was taken to the Fuling Detention Center. From the time he was brought there, he continued to tell the guards the facts about Falun Dafa. Policemen from the Fuling Police Department, including policeman Wang Zaixu, wanted to stop him from telling the facts, so they injected him with unknown drugs. They handcuffed his hands behind his back for 24 hours a day, so he had to be fed by others.

    5. [Chongqing City] Practitioner Ms. Fang Min Arrested and Tortured Again

    On October 17, 2004, practitioner Ms. Fang Min from Sanjiang Township, Qijiang County, Chongqing City, along with other practitioners, was telling people the facts about Falun Dafa. They were reported to the police, arrested, and have since been detained in the Qijiang Detention Center.

    Ms. Fang Min is 46 years old. She used to be an accountant at the Labor Service Company in the No. 103 Factory of the Chongqing Smelting Group Limited. At the end of 2000, banners that read "Falun Dafa is good" were hung in Sanjiang Township. The police thought that Ms. Fang hung the banners and arrested her. She was taken to the Qijiang Detention Center and detained there for one month. Later, she was transferred to the local detention center and was held there for half a month. The detention center police asked for 5,000 yuan from Ms. Fang's husband in exchange for her release. Her husband didn't have the money, so the police had to release her.

    In July 2001, policemen arrested Ms. Fang again, accusing her of organizing people to practice Falun Gong. They detained her in the Shijiao Town Police Station, where they handcuffed her to a window for 2 days and 2 nights. They later sent her to the county detention center. On July 20, Ms. Fang was sentenced to 2 years of forced labor and transferred to the Maojiashan Women Forced Labor Camp in the Jiangbei District, Chongqing City. During her detention there, she was put into solitary confinement and endured numerous physical tortures and beatings. When the police learned that Ms. Fang had declared the "transformation" statement she made in the past to be null and void, they were very upset. They ordered inmates who used to be drug addicts to forcibly administer unknown drugs to her. The drugs are believed to be very harmful to the central nervous system. Ms. Fang suffered tremendously and started vomiting and discharging blood.
