In October 1999, Ms. Sun Fengxin, female, 32, resident of Zhenxi Village, Kangping Town, Kangping County, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. She was arrested and sent to Longshan Brainwashing Center. Police shocked her face, mouth and body with electric baton. As a result of torture, her face and body was covered with bruises. Later, she was escorted back to Kangping County, and detained at the Kangping County Police Station for more than ten days.

On December 29, 2000, Ms. Sun was arrested again. At the police station, she was tied to a bed, with undisclosed items shoved in her mouth, beaten and shocked with electric batons for over eight hours. Again, her body was covered black and blue bruises. Early in January 2001, Ms. Sun was sent to the Fangjialan Detention Center, where she was detained for 55 days. Then, she was sent to Longshan Labor Camp in Shenyang City, to serve three years of forced labor.

During the detention, because Ms. Sun refused to read out materials cursing Falun Gong, she was beaten up by guards, and forced to squat without moving for hours. As a result, her body was again black and blue.

Since March 18, 2001, Longshan Labor Camp has directed an intensive brainwashing program at Ms. Sun. She was forced to squat on the floor for long periods of time; she was kicked and beaten, deprived of sleep overnight, stabbed in the knees with sharp objects, not allowed to eat, or given only one quarter of the standard rations. As a result, her body was again black and blue all over, both her knees were hurt badly, and she had difficulty walking. Later, she was tied up under her bed for several consecutive days and nights. She was also forced to stand up straight continuously for very long periods of time until her legs became swollen, and she felt very dizzy. Her health was ruined after these tortures. She was forced to sleep on a wooden chair at night. At one point, she was forced to stand for a long time with her head and body bent down, while both her arms were stretched up and back. Since then she has been unable to walk, she has had to crawl to the restroom.
