Falun Dafa Practitioner Ms. Song Yanqun Tied to and Stretched on "Death Bed" in Changchun City Women's Prison
(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Song Yanqun, illegally held
in the Heizuizi Women's Prison of Changchun City, was tied to and stretched on a
death bed by prison guards when the prison tried to
"transform" her through evil brutal methods this May. As a
consequence, Ms. Song now suffers from cerebral numbness, loss of sensation in
the left leg, right arm, both sides of the ribs, and is also experiencing
unbearable pain. She also suffers from lung tuberculosis that is progressively
worsening, and her body weight has reduced to only about seventy pounds. Ms. Song Yanqun, 34, lived in Shulan City in Jilin Province and worked as an
English teacher in Da'de Japanese School of Harbin City. On November 27, 2003,
Ms. Song was illegally arrested by a group of police officers headed
by Guo Wei (male) from the Police Department of Shulan City. During the
interrogation, the director of the Police Department in Shulan City, Xin He
(male), colluded with police officers Li Zhuo (male), Li Yaochen (male), Li
Jiazhe (male) and Wang Tingbai (male) to hire a gang of thugs to apply brutal
torture methods on Ms. Song Yanqun and her sister Ms. Song Bing, in the Nanshan
Detention Center of Shulan City. The torture methods they used included the
tiger bench, using long and thin sharp objects to pierce the ears,
eyes and other organs, and force-feeding mustard oil, etc. Later, they illegally
sentenced Ms. Song Yanqun to twelve years of imprisonment and held her in the
Heizuizi Women's Prison of Changchun City. In the prison, Ms. Song Yanqun's health condition worsened. Upon medical
examination, she was diagnosed with severe lung tuberculosis. The prison
hospital and the prison have strictly blocked this fact and never allowed her
family to know of her true illness. Furthermore, they forbade treatments
according to the law, but only allowed the prison hospital to carelessly deal
with it. The director of the prison hospital claimed that each prisoner was only
allowed an eight yuan medical expense per month. In May 2005, the Women's Prison of Changchun City started a new round of
forced "transformation" towards Falun Dafa practitioners who were
illegally detained. Ms. Song Yanqun was taken out from the hospital to the
Education Section, where she was surrounded and violently forced to be
"transformed." Because Ms. Song Yanqun refused to cooperate, the
prison guards tied her onto the "death bed," like "five horses
splitting a body" (1), using the ropes to tie tightly onto the four limbs
and then stretch all four limbs out with force. No one paid any attention to her
needs to use the restroom. There have been related articles on the Minghui/Clearwisdom website regarding
how such brutal torture methods were applied to Falun Dafa practitioners in the
Women's Prison of Changchun City causing severe consequences. Most of the female
practitioners experienced irregularity of menstruation period, heart diseases,
and some had their foot ligaments torn apart, while some had their arms, foot
and leg nerves injured or experienced necrosis, and thus weren't able to walk
normally. Most of those practitioners tortured with these methods had symptoms
afterwards. Ms. Song Yanqun had already been diagnosed with lung tuberculosis before she
was tortured for another two years in the prison. Her true situation had never
been released to her family members by the prison. After Ms. Song Yanqun was
tied to a "death bed" and tortured by the stretching method, she has
since experienced unbearable pain in both of her lungs, every internal organ and
both sides of her ribs. Her heart is also failing, and the symptoms of lung
tuberculosis are worsening rapidly. Her entire left leg has lost sensation, thus
she is no longer able to walk normally, but can only move slowly. Her entire
right arm suffers from unbearable pain, with hands violently trembling. Her
brain feels numb and she has trouble thinking clearly. Her body weight has
reduced to only about seventy pounds. When Ms. Song Yanqun's elderly parents went to visit her, they asked with
aching hearts about their daughter's health condition. The prison guard who was
watching immediately yelled at and threatened Ms. Song Yanqun. International lung tuberculosis has been listed as one of the top infectious
diseases that require special preventative measures. The Heizuizi Women's Prison
in Jilin Province on the other hand has been keeping a lung tuberculosis patient
in the prison and even subjected her to brutal torture methods for as long as
two years. We call on international righteous organizations to condemn and stop
the Heizuizi Women's Prison of Changchun City from torturing Ms. Song Yanqun.
