Mr. Gu Dezhu and Ms. Liu Shenghua Died as a Result of Persecution
Mr. Gu Dezhu was a 60 year old Falun Dafa practitioner who was employed in Dayan Town, Juan County, Shandong Province. Before he began to cultivate in Falun Dafa in the spring of 1998, Mr. Gu suffered from many diseases, including heart disease, acute tracheitis and pulmonary emphysema. All these illnesses disappeared after he began practicing Falun Dafa. After July 20, 1999, people from the local police station and township government harassed him many times at home. The persecutors threatened him, tried to force him to give up his cultivation, and ransacked his home. In the spring of 2000, the township government sent four people to live in his home and monitored him around the clock for one week. Later on, the persecutors took him to a brainwashing center and detained him for ten days. They also confiscated Mr. Gu's ID card. The continuous persecution harmed Mr. Gu mentally and physically and he became sickly. He died in May 2003. By the time of his death, Mr. Gu's ID card was still in the hands of the persecutors in the township government.
Ms. Liu Shenghua was a resident of Beijing. After she started to practice Falun Dafa in 1997, the heart disease, from which she had suffered for many years, disappeared. In October 2001, the persecutors arrested Ms. Liu at her apartment in Beijing. She was then sent to a brainwashing center on Qinghe Street. After she was released from the brainwashing center, Ms. Liu's health condition worsened, and she became bedridden. However, persecutors from the local police station and residential committee often harassed her and monitored her at her home under the pretense of "visiting" her. On November 3, 2004, she died due to the prolonged mental pressure and physical torture.

Four Falun Gong Practitioners in Zhejiang Province, Liaoning Province, Hebei Province, and Chongqing City Have Lost Their Lives in the Persecution
Ms. Chen Yuecui, a Falun Dafa practitioner from Chongqing City, passed away.
Ms. Chen Yuecui, age 53, was a retiree of Chongqing Railway Bureau. Ms. Chen had peacefully and legally appealed for Falun Dafa in Beijing, and persisted in her cultivation. In the summer of 2004, the authorities lured Ms. Chen to the Retiree Management Committee and then took her to a Jingkou brainwashing center in Chongqing City. There Ms. Chen's mind and body sustained cruel persecution. After getting out of the class on February 22, 2005, Ms. Chen passed away.
Mrs. Wang Shuyun, a 65 year-old Falun Dafa practitioner from Sanhe City, Hebei Province, passed away in 2004.
Mrs. Wang Shuyun lived in Zhanglaoxin Village, Sanhe City, Hebei Province. Before obtaining Falun Dafa in late 1997, Mrs. Wang had suffered a stroke in addition to having other illness. By practicing Falun Dafa, Mrs. Wang's health improved greatly. Her daughter and son-in-law practice Falun Dafa, too.
In 2003, Meng Hongli, head of the Gaolou Police Station, sent Ji Dawei and other police officers to search Mrs. Wang's house without a warrant. The police confiscated her property, abducted her son-in-law, and extorted 5000 yuan from her. Mrs. Wang was traumatized, and she fell ill. She passed away at age 65 in August 2004.
Mr. Geng Guodong, a Falun Dafa practitioner from Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province, passed away in 2002.
Mr. Geng, born in 1974, started to practice Falun Dafa in 1996. He had applied the principles of Truthfulness, Benevolence, and Forbearance to all aspects of his life. He helped others frequently, worked diligently, and earned praise from people around him.
Since the onset of the persecution against Falun Dafa in 1999, Mr. Geng and his wife had written many letters to clarify the facts to the Jiaxing City government. However, their letters were never answered. Instead, the Jiaxing City Education Committee and police pressured them frequently to renounce Falun Dafa. The couple refused such irrational requests. Under intense pressure, they left Jiaxing for their hometown in Heilongjiang Province.
In July 2001, the police searched his house without a warrant, and confiscated his property, including a computer, two printers, a fax machine, a mobile telephone, and two recorders. Mr. Geng and his wife were abducted and illegally detained. Because Mr. Geng began vomiting blood during his illegal detention, he was released. The police refused to release his wife. Two months later, Mr. Geng became bed-ridden. Since Mr. Geng was near death, his relatives pleaded with the police several times, and finally they released his wife.
Although Mr. Geng was still ill, he and his wife and mother made a peaceful appeal for Falun Dafa in Beijing in 2002. They were taken back to Jiaxing City by the police. Since Mr. Geng could not walk himself, the police frequently dragged him on the ground. Mr. Geng passed away a few days after he found out that his wife had been illegally sentenced to one year in labor camp. Mr. Geng was only 29 years old.
Mr. Luo Fulin, a Falun Dafa practitioner from Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, died from persecution in 2001.
Mr. Luo Fulin was a Falun Dafa practitioner in Qianfusi Village, Puhe Town, Xinchengzi District, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. He was illegally arrested at his home on April 30, 2001, and then detained in a labor camp for one year. During this period, Mr. Luo suffered cruel persecution. On January 17, 2003, he passed away at age 59.
The 610 Office in Xinchengzi District, Shenyang City and the Xinchengzi Police Station have brutally persecuted Falun Dafa practitioners. Some practitioners have been beaten to death. Some practitioners have been crippled. Many of these practitioners have been illegally incarcerated. The persecution has deprived them of their jobs, and property, and homes. The local authorities keep constant surveillance on the practitioners, and many have been forced to attend brainwashing classes.
Dafa practitioner Mrs. Qu Guizhi was illegally detained and severely tortured. When she was released from the Detention Center, she could not speak even a single word. Mrs. Qu passed away soon after.

An Open Letter to the Residents in Shenyang City and to All People in Society: Please Help Save Ms. Ning Yuying's Family in the Huanggu District, Shenyang City
Dear residents of Shenyang City:
Did you know that there is a family near you that has suffered persecution and separation during the Chinese New Year holiday for the past six years? It is all because they want to be good people.
The family lives at the No.2 Apartment, on the sixth floor of Unit 8, Building No. 4, Wusan Residential Community, (Ningshan Rd. No. 66-1), the Huanggu District, Shenyang City. The male head of the household is Mr. Zhang Liansheng who is very diligent and likes to help others. His wife Ms. Ning Yuying is a virtuous woman and is widely respected by her colleagues and neighbors. Mr. Zhang Ming is their only son. He is a handsome boy who gets excellent grades in school and displays virtuous behavior. The family is really well admired.
The wife, Ms. Ning used to have neurasthenia, which caused insomnia. She was becoming thinner and thinner. Her condition greatly affected her daily life and work. She also suffered from other illnesses including a protrusion of her cervical vertebra, arthritis and severe gastric ulcers. In 1994, she was told during a routine medical examination that she had cysticercosis (tapeworms), a chronic and stubborn disease caused by eating pork infected with these minute parasites. It gets into and affects one's blood stream and muscles. The eggs of these parasitic worms can travel all through one's body along the blood vessels. After an uncertain incubation period, they start to grow. The only way to treat the disease is to undergo continuous operations to remove these parasites one by one. Cysticercus (the larval stage) has a strong tendency to propagate and is difficult to bring under control. When they proliferate in the brain, one's life will be in danger. After suffering through two surgeries, a CAT scan revealed that Ms. Ning's brain had several mature cysticercus and there were many eggs in her brain. As a result, she often had headaches.
Ms. Ning's family experienced great unhappiness because of her ailments. She suffered so much that she had a very bad temper. She would throw hot food in her son's face because of a minor matter. The sensible child would hide in the restroom to cry after such unfair treatment. She often regretted her own behavior and despaired more and more, since neither Western medicine nor Chinese medical skills provided any effective treatment.
August 15, 1995, was a day Ms. Ning's family will never forget. That day, Ms. Ning stood quietly in the residential community yard, saw a banner with the words, "Free Teaching of Falun Dafa" and listened to beautiful music. A harmonious and wonderful feeling arose in her. She had not had such a feeling for a long time. She put down the vegetables she just bought at the farmer's market and joined the serene crowd. That day, an assistant told Ms. Ning that Falun Gong taught people to be kind and good, which deeply moved her. Starting at that moment, a miracle occurred.
Within four days of practicing the exercises, after suffering extreme pain for several hours, the severe gastric ulcer that she had from for years disappeared forever. One month later, her other illnesses, neurasthenia, the cervical vertebra protrusion and arthritis were cured as well. Several months passed. One day she seemed to wake up from a dream and realized the cysticercosis was gone, without her even realizing it. The smile that had been absent from her face for years returned. That smile returned because of the unbelievable miracles that happened to her after she started practicing Falun Gong.
"Haven't I said that with one person practicing, the whole family benefits?" (Lecture at the Australia Fa Conference, Sydney, May 2-3, 1999) Falun Gong founder Mr. Li Hongzhi's words are indeed true in Ms. Ning's family. After she started practicing Falun Gong, her son, Mr. Zhang, followed her to study the Fa and practice the exercises every day as well. The principle of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance" benefited the young man's mind. He not only had excellent grades in high school but also home-studied five to eight college and university courses every year. He had a good reputation among his schoolmates and was honored as the head of the class as well as the chairman of the student association. He was awarded many honors.
On April 23, 1999, the police in Tianjin beat and arrested forty-five practitioners, which drew the attention of practitioners across the whole country. Some government officials in Tianjin advised them that, "the solution to this matter depended on the CCP Central Committee." Expecting fairness from the government, many practitioners volunteered to travel to Beijing to appeal. Mr. Zhang had just finished an exam in school and had more exams in the following days. Fifteen minutes after hearing the news, however, carrying his school bag, he left home and went to Beijing. After the "April 25" appeal incident was properly resolved, he quietly came back home. When the classmates felt pity for him because he missed the exams, what he said left some of them speechless, "If one is not permitted to be a good person, what is the use of studying well?"
On July 22, 1999, Falun Dafa was outlawed. The news was like inserting a knife into the hearts of millions and millions of practitioners. Ms. Ning and his son Mr. Zhang went to the provincial Party committee to appeal, however they were arrested and detained in the Wulihe Stadium in Shenyang City.
In October 1999, because the persecution was deepening, Ms. Ning and several other practitioners went to Beijing to appeal. She was arrested and sent back to Shenyang. The handcuffs she was forced to wear left deep marks on her wrists. The police demanded that her husband, Mr. Zhang Liansheng, pay them for their "travel expenses." Two officers from the city police department showed them a piece of paper and told Mr. Zhang that his wife had borrowed money from them and he had to pay them back. Mr. Zhang gave them the money they demanded. Later he found out that this was a lie; his wife had never borrowed any money from them. When officers from the local police station heard the story, even they felt ashamed.
Ms. Ning was detained in the Shenyang Women's Detention Center and was forced to work for long hours every day. Mr. Zhang Liansheng and his son came to the detention center to visit her but the police refused to let them see her and told them, "No visitors for her. Just leave the money and go." Her son stood in the deep snow outside of the gate and called loudly toward the inside, "Mom, Dad and I come to see you. It is not wrong to practice Falun Gong. You will get out of there soon!"
That year, the father and son spent the Chinese New Year together in silence. Five months later Ms. Ning came back home. She had suffered a lot and had become very thin. She shared with the family about what life was like in the detention center. Besides the heavy labor each day, she didn't have warm bed covers during the cold winter days. The police confiscated all of the money that the family sent. She was not allowed to talk to people and not allowed to brush her teeth or wash her face.
The mother and the son started to clarify the truth to their relatives, neighbors, classmates and colleagues. Many people resolved their doubts about Falun Gong, stopped having the hatred that the propaganda had stirred up and were therefore saved.
On November 20, 2000, officers from the Taishan Police Station in the Huanggu District in Shenyang City arrested 18-year-old Mr. Zhang because he was clarifying the truth
to people. He was detained in the Zhangshi Forced Labor Camp in Shenyang City. The police searched Ms. Ning's home and left a big mess. They drank and ate; played poker and watched TV in her home. Before they left, using the excuse of "taking evidence," they took personal belongings worth 10,000 yuan without giving any receipts. When they were walking downstairs they complained, "This family is not as rich as the other one. In that family, we took things worth at least 20,000 yuan or more."
In April 2001, the police from the Taishan Police Station came again and sent Ms. Ning to the Longshan Forced Labor Camp. Both the wife and the son were taken away from home and the shock to Mr. Zhang Liansheng was so devastating that his hair turned white overnight.
At the end of 2001, Ms. Ning was sent back home from the Longshan Forced Labor camp, having been bailed out for medical treatment. The abuse there caused total body edema. Mr. Zhang Ming was later released as well, after serving his "prison term." The whole family finally was able to be together. The neighbors came to visit one after another and felt the injustice that had been done to them.
Because of instructions from the 610 Office, the local police kept coming to their home to harass them and order them to sign a guarantee statement. Not wanting to cooperate with them, and to avoid another arrest, on that year's Chinese New Year holiday, Ms. Ning and her son went into temporary exile, living in other places, so they could not be found.
In the year 2002, before the opening of the "16th National Congress of the CCP," while only Mr. Zhang Ming was at home, Yang Min and several other police officers from the Longshen Forced Labor Camp pounded on the door and yelled, "Open the door quick. Otherwise we will break in!" The police went to Ms. Ning's work unit and arrested her there once again.
On May 8, 2003, personnel from the Zhujianlu Police Station, the Shenhe District in Shenyang City came to Ms. Ning's home. She had by then come out of the Longshan Forced Labor Camp. Several policemen dragged the only 4.9-feet-tall woman from the sixth floor to the police car downstairs. She loudly yelled out, "A good person is being arrested! What have I done for you to arrest me?" Since the police couldn't find any reason, they had to release her the next day.
Nevertheless, a few days later, several officers from the Shenyang Police Department and from the municipal 610 Office, led by Li Gang from the Chongshen Police Station in the Huanggu District broke into Ms. Ning's home. Fortunately, Ms. Ning and her son received a warning from neighbors and had already left the home.
The New Years holiday came again but Mr. Zhang Liansheng was the only one left at home, and he had to spend the holiday by himself. A news item on the Internet deeply hurt Mr. Zhang: "On December 16, 2004, Ning Yuying, the practitioner from Shenyang City, was arrested by people from the Tongle Police Station, Tongzhou District of Beijing. So far, her condition is unknown. No one knows her son's whereabouts."
Information emerged that the Beijing police had brutally tortured Ms. Ning. She was deprived of sleep and the right to use the toilet; she held a hunger strike to protest and was in very poor health. The Shenyang Police Department and Ningshan Police Station personnel had been informed of her situation; however, they did not inform the family. They wished to take over the case after Ms. Ning's sentencing in Beijing.

Exposing the Crimes in Tilanqiao Prison of Shanghai
In Tilanqiao Prison of Shanghai, Falun Dafa practitioners were formerly detained in Ward 5. Because the evil crimes of the guards at Tilanqiao Prison have constantly been exposed and Dafa practitioners resisted the persecution with righteous minds, Ward 5 has been shut down. Now Ward 2 is responsible for detaining Falun Dafa practitioners. Fu Kehu and Shen Yanrong, the former Party secretary and the former brigade head of Division 5 respectively, were reassigned to other positions elsewhere. The current brigade head of Ward 2 is Fei Chunlei; the political head of the brigade is Zhang Jian. The director of the prison is Qiao Liguo, who was appointed as delegate to the District People's Congress, largely based on his primary "achievement" in suppressing Falun Gong practitioners. The deputy head is Wang Dongsheng.
I. The Cruelty Inside Tilanqiao Prison
The brigade that detains Falun Dafa practitioners used to be the place for detaining criminals awaiting the death penalty. The original name was "Youth Experimental Brigade." It is a place with the most cruel management and punishment within the whole prison system in Shanghai. The brigade is located on a certain floor of the building with a long and narrow layout. The ends of the building are designated as the Eastern Section and the Western Section, with the guards' office placed in between the two. In an attempt to further break down Falun Dafa practitioners, the guards incarcerate those who had been "transformed" in the Western Section, where a "relaxed management" is adopted. Those who steadfastly refuse to be transformed are detained in the Eastern Section, where the so-called "strict management" is applied. In order to stir up psychological terror and to prevent Falun Dafa practitioners from sharing with one another, the staff in Tilanqiao Prison ordered three criminal inmates to monitor and abuse Falun Dafa practitioners 24 hours a day.
The guards subject firm Falun Dafa practitioners to long-term incarceration in a small cell of 3.3 square meters (35 square feet). The longest term was four years, as in the case of practitioner Zhou Bin. The detainee is not allowed to get out at all. Eating, sleeping and using the toilet are all restricted to the cell. The guards force the detainee to get up at 5:30 a.m. and to sit still with both hands behind the back. The detainee is forced to take different postures, including crouching with both hands handcuffed behind the back, being forced to listen to recordings slandering Dafa for long periods of time with earphones, sitting on the floor with both legs bound together or sitting on a small bowl. All kinds of violent ways have been used to forcibly "transform" practitioners. Criminal inmate Hu Kaifeng beat Falun Dafa practitioner Tao Xiangwei four times a day - in the morning, at noon, in the evening, and at midnight. He even dunked Mr. Tao's head in the toilet bowl. Practitioners who are still not transformed and whose prison terms are up within a month are targets of brutal beating by Hu Kaifeng. The criminal inmates resort to violence and torture practitioners who persevere in doing the exercises and go on hunger strikes to protest the persecution.
Practitioner Hua Wei had been beaten three times by a group of four to six inmates until his legs turned bluish all over. Practitioners Yang Jiuqing and Zhang Qin had been brutalized by a gang of criminal inmates to the point of their bodies swelled up and turned purplish all over. Practitioner Du Ting went on a hunger strike for 431 days. When he tried to shout out words in support of Dafa, the criminals choked him until he passed out. When he was force-fed, the perpetrator dragged Mr. Du across the cement ground, seriously abrading and injuring his skin. Practitioner Xiong Wenqi also went on a hunger strike for 431 days. His hands and legs were bound 24 hours a day. Practitioner Qu Yanlai had been beaten numerous times in Ward 8, where guards often held so-called "comment and evaluation" meetings to viciously slander and attack Falun Gong. For those practitioners who refused to listen to the slander, the guards would force them to wear earphones to listen. For those very determined practitioners, the guards would transfer them to other wards for even more brutal torture.
II. Partial List of Persecution Cases
Mr. Zhang Yiming, about 46 years old, is a practitioner from Putuo District, Shanghai. He was arrested in October 2000 and was sentenced to five years' imprisonment. Zhang Yiming upheld his belief in Falun Dafa firmly in Tilanqiao Prison from the very first day of his incarceration. Even the guards in the prison inwardly admired him. He was illegally incarcerated in the "Youth Experimental Brigade" until 2004. Because Mr. Zhang stayed firm and no one could transform him, the guards transferred him to Ward 6. He was forced to perform heavy labor every day and he also suffered from cruel mental and spiritual persecution every day.
Practitioner Mr. Zhou Bin is about 35 years old. He went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa and was sentenced to 12 years of imprisonment. Because he protested the persecution many times, the guards often beat him to the point that his bones were fractured in numerous places. The guards considered him to be very "stubborn" and mobilized many people to denounce him. From the first day when Zhou Bin was incarcerated in Tilanqiao Prison, he has never been allowed to go outside for fresh air, nor has he been allowed to take a shower. His legal rights to be visited by family and friends are completely denied. Sometimes, the criminal inmates broke into his cell to beat him. Zhou Bin never stops appealing to various levels of higher authority. He announces to everyone that Falun Dafa is the great law of the universe. Because Zhou Bin keeps appealing, he has become a headache to the guards. Simply because Zhou Bin curved his legs when he was asleep, the criminal inmate in charge of monitoring him reported to guards that Zhou Bin was practicing the exercises. The guards then ordered a criminal to beat him and handcuffed Zhou Bin tightly when he was detained in the small cell. This torture still continues to this present day.
Practitioner Mr. Yu Lei is around 42 years old. In order to resist the cruel persecution, he went on a hunger strike starting December 15, 2004. He has been on a hunger strike for 46 days.
Practitioner Mr. Wu Wenming is 35 years old. He used to work in the Jinshan District Court of Shanghai. In December 2002, he was arrested and was sentenced to 6 years of imprisonment. Guard Ou Ligang placed a big TV at the door of Wu Wenming's cell and installed a big speaker inside the cell. He then continuously played the slanderous videotapes so that Wu Wenming was living in a very noisy and disturbing environment day in and day out.
Practitioner Mr. Jiang Yexiang is 27 years old. In November 2004, he began a hunger strike to protest the persecution. The guard even came up with the plan to test the physical threshold of a human being using Jiang Yexiang as an experimental subject. For ten days, the guard didn't do anything and stayed indifferent. Ten days later, he force-fed Jiang Yexiang. As of now, Jiang Yexiang is still on a hunger strike.

Practitioner Huang Yonghui Tells of His Ordeal in Chishan Jail, Hunan Province
Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Huang Yonghui is 45 years old. On December 5, 1999, he went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. He was arrested and locked up for four days. He was later detained for 15 days. He held a hunger strike to protect his Dafa books and was released after three days. After he was released from jail, he was fired from his job for not giving up Dafa. His telephone was monitored and his personal identification card was confiscated. Huang Yonghui was arrested again in November 2000. In December 2001, he was illegally sentenced to a three-year jail term. He was detained in Chishan Jail in Hunan Province. The following is the story of his ordeal in Chishan Jail, in his own words.
* * * * * * * * *
I was arrested and sent to Changsha No. 3 Jail for being a Falun Gong practitioner. In the middle of December 2001, I was transferred to Chishan Jail in Yuanjaing (Hunan Province No. 1 Jail). My physical body had been healthy before this.
On September 4, 2002, guard Yang Yong at Chishan Jail did not allow Dafa disciples Xiao Huisheng and I to study the Fa. Guard He Yong wanted to set Master's articles on fire. I warned He Yong not to burn the articles, as retribution would surely follow for such an act. He Yong said that I was cursing him so he starting beating me. I said my intention was good, and it was for his good that I asked him not to burn the articles, and I was not wrong. He Yong continued fiercely beating me. He slapped my left and right cheeks with both hands several dozen times, and he punched my chest with his fists. He kicked my shins with his leather boots, and kicked my body with full force. My face was swollen, my chest, back, and legs were injured, and my nerves were hurt. Many people saw the beating, including inmate Chen Gong of Ward 5 (now transferred to Ward 7), Yang Yuanyou (now transferred to Ward 7), Zhao Aiping (now transferred to Ward 7), Zhao Zhishuang, Li Jun, Xiao Huisheng, Zhao Moxiang, and Daitu (nickname). Those who knew of this incident include Chen Zhaohui, Chen Hui, Tang Guoping, political head Duan Po, and several other people.
In mid-March 2003, I was hospitalized in the jail due to the tortures. My body was swollen, painful and numb. I could not move my left hand, and both of my legs could not be straightened. My condition has not improved as of today. During the hospitalization, I lay in bed for days. I could not move or change body position, eat, drink, or use the toilet by myself. From August 2003 to April 29, 2004, the day I was released, I had been illegally detained in the jail's hospital within the disabled and senior group, accompanied by inmates.
Since my release from jail, I am unable to walk smoothly. I am classified as having third degree limb disability by the City Disability Association. I am unable to find a job and get only 100 yuan each month, on which it is difficult to survive. My condition was caused by Chishan Jail's persecution, and I asked Chishan Jail to compensate me 150,000 yuan for the damage to my body. However, Chishan Jail refused to acknowledge this undeniable fact. On October 24, 2004, I requested Hunan Province Jail Administration Bureau to look into the case, but with no results so far.

More Information about the Persecution of Practitioner Ms. Ding Yan in the Taihang Prison, Baoding City Prior to Her Torture Death
Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Ding Yan (tortured to death on the night of August 18, 2001 in Chengde Prison) was transferred from the Chengde Prison to the Taihang Prison in Mancheng County, Baoding City, Hebei Province in the summer of 2000. Because she believed that she was innocent, she refused to do the forced labor, nor would she take orders from the prison police. As a result, she was subjected to ruthless persecution.
In the beginning, they locked Ms. Ding up in an isolated cell with four criminal prisoners. One day, the four inmates forcibly took her downstairs to answer roll call. In front of several hundred prisoners, Ms. Ding clarified the truth about Falun Gong. She told them that Falun Gong and the practitioners were unjustly accused.
In the following three months, police officers and eight prisoners took turns tormenting her. Each morning at about 6 o'clock, four prisoners pulled her hair, grabbed her hands and dragged downstairs with her head facing downward. Her body fell heavily on each staircase landing. Her clothes and shoes were torn and she had bruises all over her body. They dragged her into a group of prisoners and then, with policemen giving orders from the sidelines, several of them violently beat her.
Next, Ms. Ding was forced to stand still in a freezing cold courtyard. There were four prisoners surrounding her: one in front, one behind and two by her sides. Even shifting her weight from one foot to another would invite a savage beating. She was forced to stand still for over 10 hours. It was the dead of winter. Even with a mere half an hour shift, the prisoners could hardly bear the cold. Ms. Ding's legs and feet were severely swollen and she couldn't put on shoes. Most of her hair had been pulled out. Her back and legs were injured and she was not able to walk straight. She was often subjected to violent group beatings at the hands of prisoners.
The entire winter was like that for Ms. Ding. One day, after a round of savage beatings and electric shocks at the hands of policemen and several prisoners, no one ever saw Ms. Ding again. One prisoner who knew the circumstances said, "They lost control while beating her that time."
Meanwhile, another practitioner also suffered the same persecution resulting in severe injuries of the lower back, kidney area, legs and feet. In the end, no one knew that practitioner's whereabouts, either.
