1. [Liaoning Province] Exposing Evil Acts in the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp
The authorities of the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp have divided the detained female practitioners, a total of about seven hundred, into three teams. Upon arriving in the labor camp, each practitioner is monitored by several former practitioners. The practitioners are not allowed to talk to each other, are forced to stand facing the wall, and are not allowed to move until 10 p.m. each day. Consequently, some practitioners' legs have become swollen, and they have collapsed while being forced to stand. After they are pulled upright again, the practitioners are forced to continue standing. Moreover, the practitioners who refuse to be "transformed" are forced to watch videos with contents slandering Falun Gong. Practitioners who still refuse to be "transformed" are being transferred to workshops to do arduous manufacturing work.
2. [Xi'an City, Shanxi Province] Four Practitioners, Including Ms. Ding Hong, Sentenced to Forced Labor
This week, Ms. Ding Hong and 67-year-old Ms. Liu Yulan were arrested by Zhou Xiaoyu, a police officer from Xincheng District, Xi'an City. They were both sentenced to one and a half years of forced labor. Mr. Chen Mingan has been sentenced to one year and three months of forced labor, also at the hands of officer Zhou Xiaoyu. Another practitioner, Mr. Miao, was sentenced to one year of forced labor. Mr. Chen and Mr. Miao were taken to Zaozihe Forced Labor Camp and subjected to abuse.
Mr. Chen has been sentenced to forced labor four times, for a total of six and a half years. He was also held in a brainwashing center for some time. Mr. Chen's wife was sentenced to one year of forced labor for promoting Falun Gong and exposing the persecution. One month after he was released, Mr. Chen was taken to a brainwashing center then transferred to the Zaozihe Forced Labor Camp.
3. [Chongqing City] Mr. Su Guohong Arrested and Subjected to Abuse
Mr. Su Guohong, in his forties, is a graduate student at the History & Museum Institute of Chongqing Normal University. On May 12, 2008, he went to Sanxia Square in Shapingba District to pass out flyers about Falun Gong. Consequently, he was taken to the Baihelin Detention Center, where he was detained for 15 days. On June 16, 2008, authorities at the Chongqing Normal University issued a notice dismissing Mr. Su. He argued that the notice did not conform to the university's policies. When he was preparing to go home on June 27, 2008, he was taken to a brainwashing center by University personnel. In the center, he showed symptoms of severe disease, so he was transferred to the Central Hospital affiliated with the Chongqing Forced Labor Bureau and subjected to further abuse. His family was not notified. The evildoers responsible for monitoring Mr. Su in the hospital prohibited him from going to the restroom. He became nauseated, experienced a ringing in his ear, and developed a cough. Sometimes he coughed up blood. He felt a swelling pain in his lower abdomen. He also had to urinate frequently and urgently. He often felt uncomfortable in his chest area and developed benign tumors in his liver.

Before the Olympic Games, several practitioners working at the No. 2 Institute of the Aerospace Department were arrested and sentenced to forced labor. Among them were Ms. Li Ren, who is 60 years old, and Ms. Zhao Shuyuan, who is over 60 years old. Both of them were sentenced to two years of forced labor. Ms. Li's 80-year-old mother was left unattended.
5. [Changchun City, Jilin Province] Authorities of Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp Detain Practitioners Past Their Term
At present, many practitioners in Heixuizi Forced Labor Camp have been detained past their term. Practitioners who refuse to do labor have had their terms extended for 27 days, and those who refused to sign documents guaranteeing to quit the practice have had them extended for one month. Some guards claimed that they would extend the terms by 180 days. Nearly all practitioners that are detained are unwilling to work for the CCP any more. Therefore, the guards beat and kick them, hit them with electric batons, hang them up, and prohibit them from going to the restroom.
Ms. Li Hongyan refused to do more labor, so Zhang Mei (female), director of the No. 4 Ward, slapped her on the face more than 20 times. Ms. Li's face and neck were injured, and her shoulders turned blue. Her hands were cuffed to a bunk. As a result, she could not squat or sit down. She was prohibited from going to the restroom.

During her detention, she has been beaten and tortured.
On the morning of November 7, 2008, Xindu Court opened a session to try Ms. Wang Yingxia. Chen Lunfu, the court president, knew clearly that the trial was unreasonable, so he postponed it. On the morning of November 12, 2008, Ms. Wang's family member saw a notice on the bulletin board saying that the second court session to try Ms. Wang Yingxia would be opened that morning. Actually, no such court session was held. In this manner, the Xindu District Court covertly sentenced Ms. Wang to three years of imprisonment. After family members made inquiries, it was learned that the court covertly sentenced Ms. Jiang Yifen to three years, Mr. Wu Fenglin to four years, and Mr. Wu Fengquan to four years of imprisonment.
