Zou Songtao 11.03.2000

ZOU Songtao, male, 28, Qingdao City.

ZOU Songtao was a postgraduate student of Oceanic Biology. Since July 22, 1999, he has been illegally detained many times, and since he refused to answer any questions or sign statements, he was tortured in an iron chair with both hands handcuffed to the chair. His head and face became swollen so badly that people could hardly recognize him.

On July 18, ZOU was arrested at his home and sentenced to 3 years in a labor re-education camp. He was detained in the Qingdao Labor Education Camp (also known as the Shengjian Basan Factory) from July 18 to September 26. Only family members who didn't practice Falun Gong could visit him.

On September 26, without notifying his family, he was suddenly transferred to the Shandong Labor Re-education Camp at Zibo City, Wangchun District for intensive "transformation education", where none of his family members were allowed to visit him.

At 1:10 p.m. on November 3, 2000, ZOU was beaten to death with an electric baton by police officer, Zhen Wannian and officer Shao. His family was forced not to spread the news of his death and was even forbidden to cry at home, just in case other people would find out.

On the afternoon of November 4, 2000, his body was cremated against his family’s wishes at Zhangdian in Zibo City.

His wife, ZHANG Yunhe was forced to leave her home to avoid arrest, and her current whereabouts are unknown. His mother-in-law passed away from grief. His three-year-old daughter now lives with his elderly father-in-law.

Agence France Presse and RFA reported this news on November 8, 2000.

IN MEMORY website report stories of Falun Gong practitioners murdered under persecution by chinese communist party ( CCP).

According to incomplete statistics, within the past five years beginning on July 20, 1999, more than 3160 practitioners have been verified as being tortured to death in over 30 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. However, according to the government's official internal statistics, the actual number of practitioners who died after being arrested had reached 1,600 by the end of 2001. In addition, there are at least 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners who have been illegally sentenced to prison. Over 100,000 practitioners have been sentenced to forced labor camps. Thousands of practitioners have been forcefully sent to psychiatric hospitals to be tortured with injections that are damaging to the central nervous system. Large groups of Falun Gong practitioners have been forcefully sent to local brainwashing classes, where they have been subjected to both physical and mental torture. Many more practitioners have been severely beaten and had large sums of money extorted from them by so-called "law-enforcement officials." When large numbers of Falun Gong practitioners are beaten to death, injured, and their families are broken up, when they have to leave home and go from place to place because of the persecution, millions of Falun Gong practitioners' families, relatives, good friends and colleagues are also implicated and brainwashed to varying degrees. Listed below are the names of the Falun Gong practitioners who have died from torture, and a brief description of their cases. Hopefully, these dreadful experiences and agonizing scenes will arouse consciences and stir hearts all over the world.

Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa (about), is a practice of meditation and exercises with teachings based on the universal principle of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance." Practiced in over 50 countries world-wide, Falun Gong has roots in traditional Chinese culture. With government estimates of as many as 100 million practicing Falun Gong, China's Communist leader Jiang Zemin outlawed the peaceful practice in July 1999 (report). Since that time, Jiang Zemin's regime has intensified its propaganda campaign to turn public opinion against the practice while imprisoning, torturing and even murdering those who practice it. The Falun Dafa Information Center has verified details of 2829 deaths (reports / sources) since the persecution of Falun Gong in China began in 1999. In October 2001, however, Government officials inside China reported that the actual death toll was well over 1,600. Expert sources now estimate that figure to be much higher. Hundreds of thousands have been detained, with more than 100,000 being sentenced to forced labor camps, typically without trial.
