Ms. Wen Fenhua, female, is a resident of Mianhu Town, Jiexi County, Guangdong Province.

In January 2000, Ms. Wen went to Beijing to appeal to the government to stop the persecution of Falun Gong. She was arrested and returned to Mianhu Town, where she was detained in the police station. She was then sent to a detention center and detained for two weeks.

In February 2000, she was arrested because she went to a Falun Gong practitioner’s home. She was again detained for two weeks.

Ms. Wen was again arrested in June 2000, this time for practicing Falun Gong’s meditative exercises in a park. She was then released in July 2002 after serving two years of forced labor.

Between June 2003 and May 2005, because Ms. Wen practices Falun Gong and refused to give up her belief, she was arrested five times.

On May 30, 2005, Ms. Wen was arrested by the vice-secretary of the Jiexi Political Committee, Chen Jihua; the head of the first branch of the police station, Lin Shaoxin; the Mianhu Governing Office; “610 Office” member Guo Lewei; and a dozen or so other policemen. She was then once again sent to the Sanshui Brainwashing Center and subjected to forced brainwashing.

Ms. Wen was sent home on the night of June 17, 2005. Upon arriving home she lay down, unable to move. There were many needle marks and dark blue scars on her hands and wrists, and many scars and wounds on her legs, some of them bleeding. Ms. Wen had to rely completely on others to take care of her, as she was unable to even turn herself over. Her eyes were closed, and she responded only when somebody called her name. Judging from her state, it looked as if she had been injected with some toxic drugs.
