persecution were confirmed. Among them are 11 female practitioners, 48% of the
total; nine of the 23 practitioners, 39% of the total who died, were over 55 years
old. The youngest was Ms. Du Juan, a 29-year-old doctor from Chongqing City who
died on April 14, 2006. Sixteen of the 23 deaths occurred between January 2006
and April 2006. Five practitioners died in April 2006. Minghui/Clearwisdom website
statistics have confirmed at least 53 deaths of Falun Gong practitioners in Mainland
China between January 2006 and April 2006.
Zemin's group and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began persecuting Falun
Gong on July 20, 1999, the deaths of 2,876 Falun Gong practitioners have been
verified through civil channels, yet this is only the tip of the iceberg of deaths
resulting from persecution. Recently, it has been exposed that agents from the
CCP have harvested organs from living Falun Gong practitioners at labor camps,
prisons, concentration camps and hospitals, and then cremated the bodies to destroy
the evidence. Due to the information blockade and the CCP's cover-up, we
have so far been unable to verify or confirm the number or names of practitioners
who had their organs harvested.

out mental and physical torture against Falun Gong practitioners. It happened
under the Jiang Zemin group's policy of “beating to death is counted as suicide”
and a series of other genocidal policies.
to force the practitioners to give up their belief and also to fulfill “reform
quotas” [for specific numbers of Falun Gong practitioners who renounced their
belief]. They have used more than forty types of torture including electric shock,
burning, brutal force-feeding, rape and gang rape of female practitioners, injection
and forced intake of nerve-damaging drugs, which resulted in the death and permanent
disability of many Falun Gong practitioners. Moreover, these locations where Falun
Gong practitioners are illegally held are also places where agents of the CCP
harvest organs from living practitioners. These locations serve as live organ
banks. Guards working at these places often threaten Falun Gong practitioners
by saying things such as, “If you don't 'reform,' you'll be
sent to labor camps in the northwest and will never return.” Some guards openly
instructed inmates who beat the practitioners, “Don't hit the lower back.
The kidneys are useful!” We can tell despite the information blockade that many
Falun Gong practitioners have disappeared after arrest and detention.
23 cases that were verified in April are distributed across ten provinces and
cities. Five practitioners each were in Heilongjiang Province and Liaoning Province,
four practitioners were in Jilin Province, two practitioners each were in Hebei
Province and Chongqing City, and one practitioner each from Gansu Province, Hubei
Province, Anhui Province, Beijing and Jiangsu Province. Some of these practitioners
were tortured to death in police custody. Some were tortured to the brink of death
and then released, after which they were continuously harassed and persecuted
by local CCP officials who ransacked their homes and followed them in the streets.
They passed away under tremendous pressure.

refused and said, “If you don't give us justice, we'll sue you right
up the ladder, from local to central courts, and we won't give up until we
find justice.” Some police officers were also angry and said, “Next time don't
come to us for this type of thing. We thought they [the detention center and the
“610 Office”] really wanted to solve the problem! You guys should sue them.”

suffered from severe heart disease, stomach problems, roundworms in the gallbladder,

person. She never hesitated to help others. She made a living by operating a beauty
parlor and gave free services to poor customers who were unable to pay, and frequently
gave them money. She was awarded the distinction of “Outstanding Self-employed
Businessperson” several times.

of Qiansuo No. 3 High School once personally delivered a silk banner to her. Su
Juzhen often visited elderly people in nursing homes, bringing them daily necessities
and food. She also donated money to repair the Xihe Bridge. Her family was recognized
as one of the “Ten Outstanding Families in Huludao City.” Ms. Su credited her
practice of Falun Gong for her being able to accomplish so many good deeds. Once,
a TV station interviewed her. She told the reporter, “I did these things because
I practice Falun Gong.”
for persisting in her belief in Falun Gong, about forty local families went to
the government and begged the officials to release her. They asked the officials,
“She fixed the road and does only good things for people! Why don't you release
such a great person?”
when she was being persecuted by the CCP. During September and October 1999, when
Su Juzhen was incarcerated at the Suizhong Detention Center, the detention center
authorities demanded 200 yuan from an old man from Gejiaxiang, Suizhong County,
who was also held at the detention center. The old man's family did not have
the money, so Su Juzhen gave him 200 yuan. Later, the old man's son went
to the Suizhong Detention Center with some fruit to visit Su Juzhen, but the detention
center authorities would not let him meet with her. During her illegal detention,
Su Juzhen often gave financial assistance to the inmates.

transferred Su Juzhen from one labor camp to another including the Masanjia Forced
Labor Camp, the Zhangshi Forced Labor Camp, Longshan Forced Labor Camp, and Shenxin
Forced Labor Camp, among other places. Later, Su Juzhen's family didn't
know her whereabouts. They went to many places and finally found out that she
was being held at the Shenxin Forced Labor Camp.
Su Juzhen suffered all kinds of torture and humiliation and was injected with
nerve-damaging drugs, which resulted in a nervous breakdown. In February 2002,
authorities from the Shenxin Forced Labor Camp told Su Juzhen's family to
pick her up after extorting 1,500 yuan from the family. Several people carried
Su Juzhen out of the labor camp. She could not move her limbs, her eyes were blank,
and she had no facial expression. She could not eat until the 22nd
day after she went home. Her family later found wounds near her vagina and needle
marks on her body.
Police Station, the Qiansuo Town government and the Qiansuo Police Station constantly
harassed her and frequently ransacked her home. They arrested her 19-year-old
daughter, who took care of Su Juzhen and provided the only source of income for

of April 9, when her body was cremated at the Qiansuo Crematory in Suizhong County,
it was found that her skull, shinbones and ribs were black and could not be cremated.
According to an expert, this is a sign of drug poisoning. Many witnesses have
confirmed that Su Juzhen was forcibly injected with nerve-damaging drugs at the
Masanjia Forced Labor Camp. These blackened bones confirm this fact. The workers
at the crematory, her family and friends, and family members of other deceased
saw the bones and compared them to the ash from other bodies. It was clear that
these bones were not normal.

of school because of it. Her older daughter, who was attending university, was
forced to quit school in order to take care of her father and younger sister when
Su Juzhen was held in a labor camp. Su Juzhen's father lost his sight in
both eyes from excessive grief. Her mother, in her 80s, suffered a near mental
collapse due to the series of heavy blows.
