5. [Wenchuan County of Aba State, Sichuan Province] Latest Update About the Persecution

1.Leng Tao, male, over 40, a graduate and a high-ranking official in Aba State Tourist Bureau. He lived in an apartment on the 5th floor of Wenchuan County's Land Tax Bureau. He worked in Markang. He has already been jailed for11 months longer than the length of his original illegal sentence.
Leng Tao began to practise Falun Dafa in1995. After he came back from safe- guarding Falun Dafa in Beijing on Oct 1999, police arrested him in Markang. Police tried to force him to write a repentance letter. He didn't co-operate with them. He insisted on practising the Falun Gong exercises. He was jailed for 11 months.
On Dec 29, 2000, he, his wife and his eight-year-old daughter went to Tiananmen Square to clarify the truth. They returned home safely. Unfortunately, while under coercive interrogation a fellow practitioner told them that it was Leng Tao who gave her a "Falun Dafa is Good" signboard and a bottle of spray paint. Authorities from Aba State and Wenchuan County then arrested Leng Tao. Police claimed that Leng Tao painted over 300 statements about Falun Dafa along Maxi Street, up to Wenchuan Street, a distance of 80 kilometres. This had a far-reaching effect and had been reported to the Central Communist Party in Beijing. It was treated as a federal case. A special case group was formed by the National Security Bureau, the Provincial Security Bureau and the State Security Bureau, as well as Wenchuan County and Mao County police. Leng Tao was transferred from Markang to Mao County Prison. He was interrogated day and night. They handcuffed and shackled him. He was beaten and kicked. After several months of interrogation and brutal torture, the police didn't get one word from Leng Tao. He was jailed with other inmates. The police encouraged the criminal inmates to persecute him. The inmates rode on his head and urinated on him. They use a toothbrush to rub his penis raw. Also they beat him inhumanly. One night, police from the State Security Bureau, Wenchuan County and Mao County took Leng Tao to a private room, planning to interrogate and torture him. Leng Tao sat still. The room was dark because no light had been turned on. Yet there was light shining in the room. The police had no idea where the light was coming from. They were so frightened that they ran away one by one. For over a month after, no one dared to interrogate Leng Tao. Taking advantage of the first chance that presented itself, Leng Tao walked out of the prison and returned home. He was arrested again soon after and is now jailed in Taiyangdao Prison, Wenchuan County. He remains firm in his practice of Falun Dafa.

2.Deng Chengrong (Leng Tao's wife), female, in her forties, junior college degree, employee of the Terra Tax Bureau in Wenchuan County. She lived in the fifth floor of Terra Tax Bureau dormitory in Wenchuan County. In June of 2001, she was sent to Nanmusi Women's Forced Labour Camp in Zizhong County for a term of one and a half years.
She started practising Falun Dafa in 1995. Since she was a practice site assistant [someone who teaches the exercises to new practitioners], she has been under constant close police surveillance ever since the persecution began. She was not allowed to go out and was often summoned for interrogation without reason, creating all kinds of difficulties for her. Whenever the police suspected that she would go to Beijing, they arrested her. After being imprisoned for over a month, they sent her to a brainwashing class. She suffered there for more than 6 months. In July 2001, the police illegally sent her to Nanmusi Forced Labour Camp in Zizhong County for one and a half years. No one is left at home to take care of her 80-year-old mother and eight-year-old daughter.
Even more upsetting was that the Wenchuan police imprisoned her eight-year-old daughter. They fiercely interrogated her many times, however, the little, yet wise, practitioner never gave in to them.

At the end of December 2000, she displayed a banner in Tiananmen Square and was detained. The Security Bureau Police took her back to Wenchuan County. They have illegally imprisoned her since New Year's Day (Chinese New Year). Although the police did not have enough evidence to issue a verdict, they illegally extended her detention. She has often been interrogated and coerced in an attempt to gain a confession.

On July 11, 2001, the Wenchuan police illegally sent her to Nanmusi Women's Forced Labour Camp for one year. She has not yet been released.

At the end of December 2000, she went to Beijing to validate Falun Dafa again and was illegally detained by the police in Tiananmen Square. Again, she was taken back to Wenchuan City.

Dai Xiaoqing has practised Falun Gong since 1997. In October 1999, she went to Beijing to safeguard Dafa. She was detained in Beijing for half a month and was taken back to Wenchuan. After being held for over a month, she was then released.

On November 16, 1999, he participated in the first exercise practice, displaying a banner on Tiananmen Square. He was taken into a police car. When he got out of the car in front of the Tiananmen Police Station, he walked away openly and aboveboard; the police did not see him.
He then went to Canton to join an experience sharing conference. Due to the exposure of the conference, a few days later all Falun Dafa practitioners were arrested. In prison, he went on a hunger strike and was brutally force-fed with salty food. He would rather have died than given in. They force-fed him two times and he still did not give in. A group of more than 20 hardened criminals were amazed to see that the demon-like prison guards, with their red and yellow clothing, could not deter Falun Dafa practitioners.
After he was detained for 16 days in Guangzhou, Wenchuan police took him back to his home county. He was released after 33 days. On Dec 29, 2000, he again went to Beijing to Tiananmen Square to validate Falun Dafa. He was asked by a policeman to swear at Falun Dafa. He firmly refused and was taken into a police car and was taken to various prisons. He was taken to Shunyii for two days and they handed him over to Wenchuan police. He was imprisoned for 37 days in Wenchuan County and then forced to join a brainwashing class for more than six months. He was finally bailed out by authorities from his workplace.
After being imprisoned illegally two times by the police, the supervisors of his workplace added to the persecution of this Falun Dafa practitioner. They stopped paying his retirement wages and gave him only 300 Yuan as a monthly living expense (Translator's note: Yuan is Chinese currency. An average wage is about 500 Yuan.). This created hardship for his family of four. His daughter has been laid off and has no income. His grandson is still in school. His wife is detained in Nanmusi Women's Forced Labour Camp.
