Medienberichtsiehe vorheriger Fall 7. Fall: Frau MEI Yulan (Peking)On May 13, 2000, Mei was arrested while practicing Falun Gong exercises outside her house. She went on a hunger strike to defend her rights. On May 17, 2000, three days into her hunger strike, she was force-fed by an inmate who had no medical skills at all. Her screaming during the force-feeding suggested that she was in extreme pain. After she returned to the cell, she had a headache, and started to vomit blood that night. The guard whose surname was Sun refused to send her for emergency treatment, and said, "Never mind, she won't die. I will take the responsibility if anything happens." She died on May 23, 2000. Five practitioners who knew about her death were sent to the detention center on May 26. Medienbericht: Hunger-Striking Falungong Member Killed by Force-feedingBEIJING, May 26, 2000 -- (Agence France Presse) A hunger-striking member of the banned Falungong spiritual group died in Chinese police detention after she was fatally injured during force-feeding, a member of the movement told AFP Friday. The death of 44-year-old Mei Yulan at a Beijing hospital was confirmed by police and hospital staff who admitted she had died after a hunger strike, but declined to elaborate on the exact circumstances of her death. Mei's death brings to 19 the number of Falungong members who have died in police detention since the movement was banned in July last year, according to a toll by the Hong Kong-based Information Center for Human Rights and Democracy. A Falungong member, asking to remain anonymous, said Mei was arrested on May 13 in the Chaoyang district of Beijing while she was doing breathing exercises popular with the movement. He said Mei began a hunger strike the next day, and that when police tried to force-feed her on May 17 the feeding tube was wrongly inserted causing serious injuries. The source said Mei immediately lapsed into a coma and was taken on May 18 to Minghang hospital where she never regained consciousness and died on May 23. A mortuary official at Minghan hospital confirmed to AFP that Mei had died on Tuesday, adding that "hunger strike" had been listed as the official cause of death on her medical records. She said the body was still at the mortuary, adding that an official from the detention center had come to view the body with Mei's family. An official from Beijing's Sun He police station also confirmed Mei's death and said she was a Falungong practitioner, but he declined further comment. The Chinese authorities launched a nationwide crackdown against the Falungong movement after they banned the group in July last year and labeled it an "evil cult." Tens of thousands of members have been detained and sent for re-education, while those accused of being core leaders of the movement have been sentenced to jail terms of up to 18 years. Mei's death came after the Information Center for Human Rights and Democracy said earlier this week that 52-year-old Falungong practitioner Yao Baorong jumped from the fifth floor of a police station in northwest China. The centre said Yao, 52, died in hospital after jumping out of a window of the Anning district police station in Gansu province's Lanzhou City last Saturday afternoon. Local police refused to comment on the center's faxed report, which said Yao's suicide leap followed numerous unsuccessful police attempts to make the local government employee give up her belief in Falungong. The two deaths follow confirmation last week by Shuangcheng city police in northeast Heilongjiang province that a 45-year-old male follower died while in their custody. Falungong claims tens of millions of followers in China, attracted by an eclectic mix of traditional qigong Chinese breathing exercises and Buddhist and Taoist philosophies.

On March 25. 2000 he was beaten by a guard and another prisoner with wooden batons, leaving him in a coma. March 30, Zhang was cremated by police as he was still breathing and had a pulse. Medienbericht: 3 more Falun Gong members die in police custodyWIRE:04/20/2000 09:46:00 ET BEIJING (AP) Three more members of the banned Falun Gong spiritual movement have died of beatings or hunger strikes while in custody, including one who may still have been breathing when police cremated him, a human rights group said Thursday.
9. Fall: Frau ZHAO Jinhua (Provinz Shandong)On September 29, 1999, Zhao was taken away by the police while working in the field. The police tortured her by beating her with rubber clubs, shocking her with electrical circuits, depriving her of sleep, and so on. On October 7, she was tortured to death. Amnesty International's Speech at Ottawa Press ConferenceAlex Neve, Secretary General Amnesty International of Canada Zhao Jinhua, a 42 year old farmer and Falun Gong follower in Shandong province, was arrested by the police on September 27, 1999 while she was working in the fields. She was pressured to renounce her Falun Gong practice and repeatedly beaten with clubs and electronic batons when she refused to do so. On October 7 she was sent to the county hospital twice for emergency treatment but she was already dead before she arrived at the hospital the second time. The family of 60-year-old Chen Zixiu, a Falun Gong follower, were asked to collect her body from a police station also in Shandong province, where she had been detained for four days in February of this year. Her body was covered with bruises, the teeth were broken and there was blood coming out of her ears. Cheng Fengrong, a 42-year-old woman and Falun Gong follower, was detained by Shunyi police and reportedly slapped while being handcuffed to a tree, beaten with a broom which broke in two and then forced to stand barefoot in the snow; she was also punched and kicked and had two basins of cold water poured onto the back of her neck which froze under her feet. During the past year, countless Falun Gong followers in China have been tortured in detention. At least 12 have reportedly died in police custody as a result of their injuries, including Chen Zixiu and Zhao Jinhua. On July 22 1999 the Falun Gong movement was banned by the Chinese government. Chinese authorities claimed that the movement, which teaches a practice of meditation and breathing exercises, was a threat to social and political stability. The ban was imposed after the government reportedly became concerned with Falun Gong's ability to mobilize large numbers. 10,000 followers stood quietly in front of the leadership compound in Beijing on 25 April 1999. In the year since the ban, Amnesty International has documented an extensive pattern of serious human rights violations. Tens of thousands of Falun Gong followers have been arbitrarily detained by the police. Some have been held for short periods, and pressured to renounce their beliefs. Many have been tortured or ill-treated in detention. As I've said, at least 12 have died as a result. Some have been held in psychiatric hospitals and forced to take drugs. Thousands remain in detention. Some have been charged with crimes and sentenced after grossly unfair trials. Others have been sent to labour camps without trial. New arrests and detentions continue to be reported every day. Anyone who dares to speak out about the persecution of Falun Gong followers faces harsh reprisals. The campaign against Falun Gong is part of a massive crackdown on followers of religious and spiritual movements in China. The crackdown is politically motivated. The vast majority of its victims are ordinary people who merely exercised peacefully their fundamental rights to freedom of belief, association and expression. It must stop. The arbitrary detentions, unfair trials, torture and deaths resulting from this campaign must come to an end. It will be too late for Zhao Jinhua, Chen Zixiu and other Falun Gong followers who have died as a result of their beliefs. It is not too late for the many thousands who remain in detention. It is time for the Chinese government to ensure that the basic rights of Falun Gong practitioners are upheld. It is time for the Canadian government and other governments to insist that Chinese authorities cease this campaign. 10. Fall: Frau REN Tingling (Provinz Shandong)She had gone to Beijing to make an appeal to the Chinese government regarding the mistreatment of Falun Gong, but was arrested and held in the Dong Cuin Detention Center in the city of Haiyang. Witnesses say Ms. Ren had been tortured so badly in the detention center that she could no longer stand up. She died in a concentration camp in Shandong province in March 2001. FDI Media Alert: Fifty Year Old Woman Tortured to Death in Chinese Concentration CampFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - 11/7/2001 [ http://www.faluninfo.net/ ] NEW YORK, November 7, 2001 (Falun Dafa Information Center) - Sources inside China reveal that fifty-year-old Ms. Ren Tingling died in a concentration camp in Shandong province, China, this past March. Sources say the concentration camp had been set up specifically to engage in physical and psychological torture to force Falun Gong practitioners to renounce their faith. Shandong Province is the deadliest region in China for maltreatment of Falun Gong practitioners, as a total of 56 practitioners have now been confirmed to have died in police custody there since China began its persecution of Falun Gong in July, 1999. Ms. Ren Tingling had gone to Beijing to make an appeal to the Chinese government regarding the mistreatment of Falun Gong, but was arrested and held in the Dong Cuin Detention Center in the city of Haiyang. Witnesses say Ms. Ren had been tortured so badly in the detention center that she could no longer stand up. On March 16th of this year, the director of Haiyang City's notorious "610 Office," Shao Wenbing, gave orders that more than 160 steadfast Falun Gong practitioners be sent to the "115 Base" concentration camp to be brainwashed and "reformed," a process that typically involves prolonged torture resulting in either death or forced renunciation of one's beliefs. Ms. Ren was among those practitioners, but due to the mistreatment in the detention center, she was physically very weak. At about daybreak on the day that she died, Falun Gong practitioners held in the same cell discovered that Ms. Ren was in agony and was shivering violently. The guard refused to allow her fellow practitioners to take care of her and forced them to go to the brainwashing session. Ms. Ren died that very morning. The police claim her death was due to cerebral hemorrhage. The Haiyang City "610 Office," set up specifically to persecute Falun Gong, had given orders this past February to carry out a mass arrest of Falun Gong practitioners. The office and its agents have used all means to try to make them change their minds and give up their beliefs. In one psychological tactic, family members are called in to kneel and beg practitioners to give up their practice. Police in this area have also extorted thousands of dollars from practitioners and their families to ruin them financially. Witnesses say the Haiyang police often hang practitioners up off the ground by the wrists using handcuffs and then beat them brutally and burn their faces with cigarettes. Female practitioners also report being subjected to various forms of sexual abuse. Every day, practitioners in detention must withstand such cruel tactics designed to break their will. Many refuse to give in because they firmly believe that holding to the universal virtues of Falun Gong, "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance," is not a crime. The deaths of 306 Falun Dafa practitioners due to torture while in police custody have been confirmed since the persecution began in July 1999, although government sources inside China disclose that the actual number exceeds 1,000. On November 4, 2001, Falun Gong practitioners in cities around the world held press conferences in front of Chinese Embassies and consulates to condemn Jiang Zemin's regime and the "610 Office" led by Luo Gan for their escalating persecution against Falun Gong.

Liu Yufeng was an honest and upright man. He was openhearted and publicly recognized as a good person. After practicing Falun Dafa, his diseased body regained health. On the morning of July 18, 2000, Liu was arrested and detained in the Wendeng Detention Center because he took part in the group practice at Huilong Mountain. On July 19, the detention center called Liu's daughter telling her to bring 200-300 Yuan for her father's medical treatment. On July 22, the Wendeng Detention Center called his daughter again, and told her to take Liu home. When Liu was carried out by his son-in-law, he could neither move nor speak. He was in a coma. Around 10:00 am of July 22, Liu was taken home; at 7:00 am on July 23, he died. Autopsy by legal medical experts showed that, extravagated blood was discovered in his right eye-rim.
