Mr. Qiu Wei was tortured to death inside the Jiangxi Province Second Forced Labour Camp eight years ago. Two other practitioners, Mr. Liu Chaohui, see http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2004/12/27/55995.html) and Mr. Zhang Jun were also tortured to death.

Mr. Qiu Wei began practising Falun Gong in July 1998. He was arrested in 2000, at his work in Mei County, Guangdong Province, and was taken back to be detained in the Ganzhou City Detention Centre. He was tortured until he could not straighten his spine, and could only walk while stooped over 90 degrees. He was arrested again on February 23rd, 2001. Officers from the Shuinan Town police station took him to be detained in the Ganzhou Detention Centre and sentenced him to two years of forced labour. He was taken to the Jiangxi Province Second Forced Labour Camp on March 13th, 2001.

The Jiangxi Province Second Forced Labour Camp is located in Bajing Town, Gao'an City. Practitioners were forced to do slave labour for 15 hours per day while making Christmas lights. The most resolute of the Falun Gong practitioners were forced to sleep even less. The camp administration notified Mr. Qiu Wei's father, Qiu Yuansheng, to pick him up in May or early June 2002. His father was very scared that he might die. Mr. Qiu Wei died on June 29th, 2002, in the Camp.

Mr. Zhang Jun, in his 30s, lived in Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province. He was arrested at the beginning of 2000, sent to do forced labour and locked in the Fourth Ward of Yongqiao Forced Labour Camp located in Jinxian County, Jiangxi Province. The Warden Huang was very cruel towards Falun Gong practitioners, and instructed prisoners to brutally beat Mr .Zhang Jun and Mr. Wu Waiping from Yingtan City. Later Mr. Zhang Jun was transferred to the Gao'an Labour Camp (Jiangxi Province Second Forced Labour Camp) where he was tortured until suffering a blurry mind and talking to himself. He was released at the latter half of 2002, after his term was extended. He never gave in to the brainwashing, but died soon after being released.
