Practitioner Mr. Wang Bin was tortured continually. Though his ribs were broken from beatings, he is still forbidden to sleep or communicate with his family.

Afterwards, police arrested and sent her into Beijing's Qinghe Detention Center. In January 2005, she was sentenced to two years of forced labor for her determination to practice Falun Gong. During the detention period, police denied all visits from her family.

5. [Shuibin County, Heilongjiang Province] Latest News on Zhang Jingdong

In early January 2005, because practitioner Mr. Zhang Jingdong did not drink water or take food for eight days and his life was in peril, personnel from Shuibin County Court, Police Department, and 610 Office were afraid of being held accountable. They sent Zhang into the Enforced Training Team at the Xianglan Forced Labor Camp. After torturing Zhang for one and a half months, they transferred Zhang into the No. 4 Ward of the Jiamusi City Prison on February 28, 2005 without informing Zhang's family.

On March 9, Zhang called his family to have them deposit some money [for his daily use]. Only then did his family find out about his whereabouts. On March 11, Zhang was able to meet with his family. During the visit, two team heads in the prison monitored their conversation. Because Zhang would not give in, one team head claimed that if Zhang did not give up Falun Gong, the prison authorities would deprive him of the monthly family visit. The head also grabbed the visitor certificate issued to his wife away from her, because she did not deny that she was a practitioner.

At the beginning of March 2005, practitioner Zhi'er from the Xishui County Environmental Sanitation Bureau was abducted and taken to the Wuhan City Brainwashing Class. The perpetrators were personnel from the 610 Office and her work unit. This happened only because she often clarified the truth about Falun Dafa to people at work or while sweeping the streets.

Fu Wenhe, also nicknamed Fu Laowai, a policeman from Jiutai City Detention Center, stomped practitioner Zhang Guiyun in the stomach and chest so hard that Zhang Guiyun could hardly breathe.

Zhang Julong began to practice Falun Gong in 1995. In October 1999, he went to Beijing to appeal on behalf of Falun Gong but was detained for nine months. After being released, he went back to work and insisted on studying the Fa, doing the exercises and clarifying the truth.

In order to find out the source of the materials, policemen beat him savagely.

Before he was sent to prison, his over seventy-year-old parents finally saw him. Zhang Julong said to his parents, "I haven't involved others. What I'm doing is offering people salvation. I'm innocent! They are the criminals! Please don't worry about me."

Chief Fu, who was in charge of the production, often shocked Xia Xianqiang's head, face, lips, neck and fingers for long stretches in order to try to force Xia to give up his belief.
