Ren Tingling 03..2001

REN Tingling, female, was 51 years old and from Haiyang Town, Yantai City, Shandong Province.

On February 22, 2001 (Chinese lunar calendar), Haiyang City's "610 Office" issued an order which stated that those practitioners who did not give up practicing Falun Gong would be forced to gather at "115 Base" to be brainwashed. Over 160 practitioners from the city were put in rooms of different sizes. Men and women were locked together in the same rooms.

REN Tingling, jailed in room 209, was from Xiaotan Village in Liuge Town. She was brought back from Beijing after appealing for Falun Gong and was illegally imprisoned. Before coming to the "115 Base", she was imprisoned in the Dongcun Detention Center. People in the Dongcun Detention Center used extremely cruel and inhuman methods to persecute Falun Gong practitioners.

In March, when she was brought to the "115 Base", REN Tingling was at the verge of death. One day, the other practitioners from room 209 found that REN Tingling was in extreme discomfort. She was holding her body, clutching her own shoulders with her arms and her whole body was shaking. She was in critical condition.

The other practitioners immediately told the guard, but the guard did not care. Shortly after that, the guard forced the practitioners to go watch a brainwashing video. Some practitioners wanted to stay and take care of REN but the guard prohibited them.

That morning, between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m., REN Tingling died.

Hao Runjuan 03.18.2002

HAO Runjuan, female, 28 years old, used to live in Baiyun District, Guangzhou City.

HAO Runjuan went to Beijing to appeal four times. She was illegally arrested on February 25, 2002 and was tortured to death on March 18, 2002. Over twenty-two days, HAO Runjuan suffered all kinds of brutal torture.

After HAO Runjuan was illegally arrested on February 25, 2002, personnel of Jingtai police station, Baiyun District brutally beat her continuously for three days, and withheld water and food. Three days later, she was taken against her will into Guangzhou City Baiyun Detention Center and was held in cell A211. Cellmates closely monitored her.

In order to resist such illegal detention and to help more people know about the truth of Falun Gong, HAO Runjuan persistently practiced the Falun Gong exercises in her cell every day. She patiently clarified the truth to the common criminals in the cell and remained on a hunger strike, taking no food or water, to protest the persecution.

The police added some unknown yellow drug when they force-fed HAO. Following each force-feeding, she vomited continuously, discharging something like phlegm.

As soon as HAO Runjuan practiced the exercises, the guards would immediately shackle both her feet in irons and fix the shackles onto the cement floor so that she could not move. (This is called "connected rings and fixed shackles.") Because of such torture, HAO became extremely weak and lost control of her bladder and bowels.

HAO Runjuan had never cooperated with any arrangement, order or command of her persecutors. Instead, she persisted in protesting the abuses with a hunger strike. Even after she had lost control of her bowels and bladder, the police replaced the shackles with even thicker and heavier ones. This caused her tremendous pain.

At one time, in order to stop HAO from practicing the exercises, the guards cuffed her hands behind her back, with one hand coming down from the shoulder and connecting to the other hand coming up from the lower back. This was excruciatingly painful and caused dislocation of one of her shoulders.

During this period, while still wearing heavy shackles, guards often dragged HAO out for interrogation. Every night they deprived her of sleep. After twenty-two days of this kind of torture, HAO died of the abuse.

When the family was notified to identify the body, it had become completely unrecognizable, but there were still fresh, red bloodstains on it. Because the body was so disfigured, none of her family members believed it was HAO Runjuan, even after seeing the body twice. Then, the family had to bring the two-year-old son for a DNA blood test to prove the body was truly that of his mother.

Lu Shuqiu 02..2002

LU Shuqiu, female, 46 years old, lived on Yan’an Street in the Changyi District of Jilin City.

In October 2000, she went to Beijing to appeal on behalf of Falun Gong and was arrested. On November 24, 2000, she was illegally sent to the Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp in Changchun City, where she was tortured for eight months. She was forced to do heavy labor from 4 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day with only one five-minute break to use the washroom.

In late February 2001, LU was transferred to the 6th Team, the so-called "model team", an "honor" awarded by the Re-education Labor Department of the Justice Bureau. There, she suffered vicious torture at the hands of a guard named ZHANG Tao and was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

In April 2001, the Re-education Labor Department sent an inspection team to the camp. One of the visitors asked LU, "Is Falun Dafa good? Did someone deceive you into going to Beijing to make trouble ?" LU answered, "I became healthy after I practiced Falun Gong. I benefited from it. Nobody deceived me, and it was my own decision to go to Beijing".

After the inspection team left, camp officials intensified LU’s torture. They shocked her with several electric batons simultaneously, causing damage to her heart. She started a hunger strike in the beginning of May. The police subsequently handcuffed her to an iron bed and force-fed her three times a day. Although the doctors instructed that she be fed with milk, a female guard named SUN Mingyan used salty soup and corn soup instead. The force-feeding was actually a very cruel form of punishment, and LU's health was completely destroyed. She sustained heart damage from the electrical shocks and stomach injuries from the force-feeding and had continuous vaginal bleeding.. At the end of July 2001, seeing that LU was in a critical condition, the camp notified her family to take her home.

In February 2002, LU managed to go to Beijing to appeal her case. Several days later, her family received a notice from the police, asking them to bring 2,000 yuan to Beijing to bail her out. But the next day, the police informed the family that LU had died at the Jilin City Police Department’s Beijing Office.
