4. [Liaoning Province] Recent Information on Practitioners Persecuted at the Dalian City Forced Labor Camp

Wardens of the No.8 Brigade in the Dalian City Forced Labor Camp tortured "unlawfully detained" practitioners in a small compartment. When their supervisors come to inspect the prison they close the small compartment but reopen it afterwards.

In early September 2005, practitioner Mr. Gu Shuchun was tortured in the small compartment. During the daytime, wardens handcuffed him to two separated beds, with his arms extended in opposite directions. He was forced to sit on a low stool and could not make any movement. During the night, wardens handcuffed him to the two sides of his bed so that he could not turn over. The handcuffs cut into his flesh and caused excruciating pain. He suffered various tortures until another practitioner was put into the small compartment.

In the middle of October 2005, practitioners Mr. Yang Liguo and Mr. Han Qu were put into the small compartment. They suffered from the same torture as practitioner Gu Shuchun. Additionally, they were force-fed every day. The rubber tubes used for force-feeding were always left in, and the two practitioners consequently had difficulties breathing. They are still being tortured.

Virtually every newly arrested practitioner has been tortured in the small compartment. Policeman Han Wei is the person chiefly responsible for this torture.

In February 2005, practitioner Mr. Liu Jilian was arrested for the second time and sentenced to two years of forced labor there. His health has deteriorated because of torture. He has diseases in different organs. He had a stroke, urinates frequently and has difficulty walking from severely swollen feet. Even though he is struggling to live, he is still being unlawfully held.
