A Brief Report of the Incident:

On June 9, 1999, Captain Shan Jiming was detained by his workplace for printing Falun Gong flyers. He was sent to the No. 261 Hospital of the Liberation Army after 3 months of detention. After his release from the hospital, he was forced to retire. In winter of the year 2000, Captain Shan was arrested again for not giving up his practice of Falun Gong, and is still under arbitrary, groundless detention at the Beijing Security Bureau, Branch Four, undergoing all kind of tortures. Captain Shan's case is unusually serious; Luo Gan (head of 610 office, which is a special government agency which was set up to persecute anyone who practices Falun Gong with absolute power over each level of administration in the communist party and all other political and judiciary systems) has taken an interest in it. To this day, Captain Shan is being viciously tortured by his captors with all kinds of instruments.
