Three Short Accounts Displaying the Depravity of Jiang’s Persecution

Hou Yanshuang, male, is an employee of the Lingyuan Steel and Iron Company. He was arrested for making truth-clarifying materials. The police also issued an arrest warrant for his wife, Li Chunxia, promising a reward for her capture. His 13-year-old child is alone at home with no one to look after him/her. The security department authorities from the Lingyuan Steel and Iron Company confiscated more than 90,000 Yuan (Chinese currency, the average monthly income of an urban worker is 500 Yuan) cash, a computer, a printer and tricycle from his home and a piece of property from his estate. Hou Yanshuang has now been illegally sentenced to 14 years of confinement.

Yang Xiufan, male, is a lecturer of the Lingyuan Communist Party Institute. He was illegally sent to forced labour re-education after going to Beijing to appeal in 2000. He suffered all kinds of tortures in the Chaoyang Forced Labour Camp, including being beaten so viciously that his ribs were broken. He was released in the winter of 2001. In April 2002, he was illegally sent to forced labour re-education for explaining the facts of Dafa to the head of the local "610 Office" [an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems]. After going on a hunger strike for 18 days that endangered his life, he was released. This August the police arrested him again and sent him to a forced labour camp.

Luu Dawei, male, employee of the Lingyuan Steel and Iron Company, was laid off after July 20th, 1999. In 1999, he was illegally sentenced to three years' forced labour re-education after going to Beijing to appeal. He was then detained and sent into the Chaoyang Forced Labour Camp and has suffered all kinds of torture. Because he firmly practises Dafa, he was later transferred to the Fuxin Forced Labour Camp and then to the Jinzhou Huludao City Forced Labour Camp where he was treated inhumanely. He went on hunger strike for more than 30 days to resist persecution and wasn't released until his life was in danger. Four months after he returned home, in May 2002, the police kidnapped him again. He was tortured for several days and was then sent to the Lingyuan Mental Hospital for further persecution. Together with three other practitioners, Luu Dawei jumped off from the third floor of the mental hospital to escape from the vicious persecution. As of now his whereabouts remain unknown.
