  • Ms. Liu Dan of Jixi City is Very Weak Due to Persecution, Yet was Illegally Sentenced to Prison

    On January 12, 2006, policemen from Jixi City, Heilongjiang Province broke into Ms. Liu Dan's home. She was too weak to walk due to previous persecution. The police covered Liu Dan with a blanket and carried her down six flights of stairs. They sent her to the court in Jiguan District and illegally sentenced her to four years of imprisonment.

    Liu Dan, 30, had been arrested on October 24, 2005 and was subjected to various torture methods in the Jiguan District Police Station. She was hospitalized twice due to being severely persecuted. On November 22, while Liu Dan was still having injections at the hospital, she was illegally sentenced to three years of forced labor. She was then sent to the Heilongjiang Women's Forced Labor Camp in Harbin City. When the severe torture pushed her to the brink of death, officials at different levels were afraid of being held responsible, so they ordered her family to take her home. On December 7, Liu Dan's father took her home. She was severely injured, and he took care of her all day and all night. Starting on January 2, 2006, under orders from the 610 Office in Jixi City, the Jiguan District Police Department kept Ms. Liu under 24-hour surveillance.

    After 610 Office agents in Jixi City could not keep Liu Dan in the labor camp due to her health, they created many false legal charges against her. They claimed that three people, including a person with the last name Xing in Mudanjiang City and another named Guo in Jidong County, reported her for wrongdoing in 2003. The agents had the Jiguan District Procuratorate file a lawsuit against Liu Dan on January 6. On January 12, they prosecuted her during a show trial.

    Liu Dan's parents and relatives were traumatized by witnessing the severe persecution. Before the 2006 Chinese New Year, a dozen or so policemen who had stayed in an apartment next to Liu Dan's family moved out, taking their surveillance camera and alarms with them. However, they asked policemen from the Nanshan Police Station in Jiguan District to go to Liu Dan's home every day, checking to see if she if she was still home and how her health was. The police forced Liu Dan's father to sign a paper guaranteeing that his daughter would never leave home.

    The following is an account of some of the persecution Liu Dan received while detained at the Heilongjiang Women's Forced Labor Camp (the Harbin Rehabilitation Center).

    In late November 2005, Liu Dan was detained in the Heilongjiang Women's Forced Labor Camp. She was very weak. There was a deep scar on her face from a beating by the police in Jixi City. When Ms. Liu arrived at the labor camp, she had been on a hunger strike for a month to protest the persecution.

    In the labor camp, Policewoman Liang Xuemei monitored Liu Dan and subjected her to brainwashing. Liu Dan continued her hunger strike to protest the unlawful detention. Each day, four or five police officers and one or two inmates dragged her to another room for force-feeding. They brutally force-fed her two or three times a day. Her front teeth were broken from being pried apart, and her other teeth were loosened. The spoon used during force-feeding was mangled from the prying. Her lips, tongue, and the interior of her mouth were all damaged. Every time they finished force-feeding Ms. Liu, her clothes, hair, and face were soaked with soybean powder and soup. Her face was extremely pale and scratched by fingernails. Upon seeing her going through such torture, other inmates shed tears.

    Before Liu Dan had been sent to the Harbin Forced Labor Camp, her stomach was bleeding and her esophagus was damaged. Several times, the camp guards forced a feeding tube down through a nostril, making her suffer more. Liu Dan once told me, "A nurse named Liu Ying force-fed me by inserting the tube through my nostril. I vomited the soybean powder along with my stomach liquid. What I threw up was more that what they had force-fed. Several hours later, nurse Liu Ying force-fed me in the same way. Again, I vomited everything."

    The next day, a nurse with the last name Zhou again attempted to insert the tube through her nostril. Liu Dan resisted firmly. The tube went through her nostril five or six times, only coming out from her mouth each time. In another instance, it almost went into her trachea. When they pulled the tube out, it was covered with blood. Blood dripped from the tube and stained the front of her clothes. None of this stopped the nurse. She asked another nurse whose last name was Wang to insert the tube into her other nostril. In the end, they used a syringe to take half a tube of blood from her stomach.

    The labor camp guards injected Liu Dan daily with four or five bottles of medicine. Her blood vessels were in poor condition and she refused to accept the injections. The guards had to try seven or eight times to insert the needle. Her arms and hands were covered with wounds and bruises from the needles. She never mentioned how much pain she was enduring, yet from her looks while she was sleeping, one could see the pain.

    Liu Dan said two sentences that I will never forget. "You see that I have been suffering so much. In fact, Teacher is the one enduring the most. Gods will keep walking along the paths they choose."

    Liu Dan also sang to us in a weak voice. She sang several songs composed by practitioners, both in Chinese and English. Her firm belief in Falun Gong impressed us all.

    In early December, 2005, Liu Dan was moved from the Heilongjiang Women's Forced Labor Camp. The guards said that she was under arrest. The guards who had participated in the force-feeding in Heilongjiang Women's Forced Labor Camp include Lu Lixin, Liang Xuemei, Zhang Chunjing, Feng Yuanhui, Liu Ming, Guard Lu, Guard Huang, Wang Dan, and Si Shuai.

    Practitioner Chen Lichun, who was arrested and sent to the forced labor camp at the same time as Liu Dan, is still illegally detained in the Heilongjiang Women's Forced Labor Camp.

    Two Older Falun Gong Practitioners from Beijing Die Due to Persecution

     Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Tang Jianshu was 65 years old and lived in the 24th Building, #803, of Liufangbeili Neighborhood, Xiangheyuan Area, Chaoyang District, Beijing City. She started practicing Falun Gong in the early years, and after July 20, 1999, when the persecution started, she went to Tiananmen Square, the Central Government Appeal Office, and the TV Station, as well as other places to clarify the truth and to appeal for Falun Gong. She was illegally arrested seven or eight times. When Ms. Tang was detained in the Haidian District Detention Center, she was tortured with severe electric baton shocks, causing her body to be covered with scars. She was later sentenced to forced labor. When she was locked in the Tuanhe Forced Labor Camp Training/Distribution Ward, the handcuffs and ankle shackles were very tight, causing her wrists and ankles to be cut open.

    After Tang Jianshu was released from the labor camp, she was harassed for a long time by police from the Xiangheyuan Station and agents from the 610 Office. They tried to force her to go through a brainwashing class. Ms. Tang had to leave home to avoid being arrested once. Due to long-term mistreatment by the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) persecution, she became severely ill, had a blurry mind, could not speak clearly, experienced slow reactions, and could not recognize her friends or family. Ms. Tang Jianshu would walk on the street all day, picking up garbage (not due to financial difficulties). She died in October 2005.

    Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Huang Jinzhi was 78 years old and lived in Yanqing County, Beijing City. She learned Falun Gong in 1996 and became very strong. Her grey hair gradually turned black. She went to Beijing to clarify the truth of Falun Gong in 2000, and was detained twice for several months. Ms. Huang lived with either her son or daughter (both are practitioners), but their homes were ransacked eight or nine times. They were all threatened.

    Since July 20, 1999, Ms. Huang's son has been detained or forced to go through brainwashing sessions about seven times for practicing Falun Gong and clarifying the truth. Her daughter-in-law has also been detained and sentenced to prison. Her daughter and son-in-law have been sentenced to heavy prison terms. All of these mistreatments severely injured Ms. Huang, both mentally and physically. Around New Years Day 2005, she learned that her daughter was once again on hunger strike to protest the forced brainwashing in the Beijing Women's Prison. She was very worried and could not sleep for several days. The mental pressure was too much for her to endure. She suffered from a stroke and died on January 12, 2005.

    Jinchuan District Court Persecutes Falun Gong Practitioners in Jinchang City, Gansu Province

     Since the persecution began on July 20, 1999, under the instruction of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and 610 Office, the Jinchuan District Court in Jinchang City, Gansu Province has changed from reluctantly following the evil persecution to being an obedient tool of persecution by the CCP. The judges in the Jinchuan District Court have lost all professional, moral, and human sense of right and wrong.

    They set up secret courts in the Jinchang Detention Center and forced heavy sentences upon Falun Gong practitioners illegally and unreasonably, without following any judicial procedures during the trials.

    Wei Chongwen, the deputy head of the Jinchuan District Court, has presided over many trials leading to the illegal sentence of Falun Gong practitioners. Xie Yuping, head of the criminal court, has participated in many illegal sentences of Falun Gong practitioners either as a judge or as a jury member.

    Others frequently involved in these illegal trials are: Zhang Huining, Ma Lin, Qi Shiping, Li Yufang and Yang Liqiang.

    They have caused tremendous pain to individual Falun Gong practitioners and their families.

    However, out of compassion, Falun Gong practitioners have written them many letters urging them to become compassionate and hoping they could understand the truth and restore the loss that they had induced. Otherwise, their own future will be unimaginable.

    In the past several years, the following sixteen Falun Gong practitioners have been illegally sentenced by the Jinchuan District Court:

    Ms. Guo Hong, 40, an employee of the power plant of Jinchuan Group Co. Ltd. in Jinchang City, was illegally sentenced to eleven years' imprisonment in mid-December, 2002.

    Ms. Li Guiying, 60, was illegally sentenced to thirteen years in prison in mid-December, 2003.

    Ms. Shan Siyuan, 36, a teacher of electronics at the Training Center of the Jinchuan Group Co. Ltd., was illegally sentenced to thirteen years of imprisonment in mid-December, 2003.

    Ms. Chong Jinxia, 33, a teacher of electronics at the Training Center of Jjinchuan

    Group Co. Ltd., was illegally sentenced to eleven years of imprisonment in mid-December, 2003.

    Ms. Fu Guiqin, 51, an employee of Jinchang City Insurance Co. in Gansu Province, was illegally sentenced to five years of imprisonment in mid-December, 2004.

    Ms. Zhu Xiulan, sentenced to four years' imprisonment.

    Ms. Wang Yuhong, three-year prison term.

    Ms. Li Dexiang, 43, was sentenced to a five-year term in August 2004, illegally and secretly by the Jinchuan District Court.

    Ms. Zhao Fenglian, 53, was persecuted to death in Lanzhou Prison after being illegally sentenced to a four-year prison term by the Jinchuan District Court in August 2004.

    Mr. Hao Jun, 46, Deputy Secretary of the Jinchang City Tax Collection Office, was illegally sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison in 2003.

    Mr. An Zhanfeng, in his 30's, an employee at the chemical plant of the Jinchuan Group Co. Ltd., was illegally sentenced to a ten-year term in mid-December, 2002.

    Mr. Zhang Yonglong, 37, an employee at the smelter of the Jinchuan Group Co. Ltd., was illegally sentenced to a nine-year prison term in mid-December, 2002.

    Mr. Qin Dewu, in his 30's, a farmer from Yongchang County, was illegally sentenced to a twelve-year term in mid-December, 2002.

    Mr. Ma Zhigang, 32, an employee at the smelter of the Jinchuan Group Co. Ltd., was illegally sentenced to a twelve-year term in mid-December, 2003.

    Mr. Wu Kaili is a retired employee of the Life Company of the Jinchuan Group Co. Ltd.; details of his sentence are unknown.

    Mr. Gao Jiyin, five-year sentence.

    "Falun Dafa is Great!" Resounds in the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp

    As the clock struck midnight on Chinese New Year's eve January 28, 2006, all the "illegally detained" practitioners in Masanjia Forced Labor camp clarified the truth together and shouted "Falun Dafa is great!" The police guards were in turmoil. Xie Chengdong, the head of Team No. 1, was very angry and kicked the practitioners who were on hunger strike (the practitioners were on hunger strike in order to protest the persecution). Other practitioners who were in the supervision room of Team No. 1 were also tortured. Sui Hua, a practitioner from Shenyang, was in the No. 3 subdivision of Team No. 1. They handcuffed and tortured him for several days. All the illegally arrested practitioners in the No. 2 subdivision of Team No.1 then went on a hunger strike together in order to protest the persecution of Sui Hua. Finally, they took Sui Hua back to the division.

    All the practitioners in the No. 2 Team shouted, "Falun Dafa is great" on their way to the cafeteria. The guards could not do anything to prevent it. They finally had to accept their resounding cries.

    The severe persecution in Masanjia has become more difficult to sustain since practitioners worldwide have clarified the truth. The brave words, "Falun Dafa is great" resound in Masanjia every day. The number of practitioners in Masanjia was reduced from 700 at the end of March 2005, to 300 at the end of 2005. The police reorganized the No. 2 Women's Ward into two teams according to the practitioners that were "transformed" and the ones that were "not transformed." They reduced the number of practitioners from 150 to 40 in the No. 1 Team by February 2. More than 100 practitioners out of these 150 continued to clarify the truth.

    The police guards punished practitioners by using electric batons, adhesive tape to gag practitioners to keep them from clarifying the truth, prison term extensions, and more. They brutally persecuted practitioners who were on hunger strikes and who kept shouting, "Falun Dafa is great!" However, the resounding righteous voices never stopped in Masanjia. After the camp personnel realized that their persecution methods did not work, they threw corn congee on the faces of practitioners who shouted. That did not work, either. Later on they allowed practitioners to shout only twice. It still did not work. Practitioners continued to shout, "Falun Dafa is great!" At last the guards pretended they did not hear anything and said, "We are used to your shouting."

    They changed their persecution tactics in the middle of January 2006. The camp authorities assembled collaborators and sent them back to the No. 3 Team. Then the guards carefully watched and persecuted the steadfast practitioners. On February 23, 2006, they dispatched some temporary policemen, who were from other areas and other police departments, in order to persecute Falun Gong practitioners. The practitioners in the No. 1 Team were only allowed to have a washbowl and one set of underwear per person. Other clothes or baggage were put in a storage room. The guards conducted illegal body searches and searched rooms, because they were afraid that practitioners had copies of Teacher's articles.

    From December 22 to December 26, 2005, the guards took three practitioners who were on hunger strike in the No. 2 subdivision of the No. 1 Team out of Room 213 and put them into Room 202. This room was located on the western, hillside wall and was extremely cold. The three practitioners were Ms. Sheng Lianying from Dalian City, Ms. Meng Guiqiu from Goubangzi of Jinzhou City and Dong Jingya from Shenyang City. A guard from the No. 1 Team tried to force the three practitioners to eat, telling them that they would be released from the icy room if they stopped their hunger strike. Two days later, the guards told them if they stopped shouting, "Falun Dafa is great," they would put them in another room with heat. The practitioners still continued to resist the persecution and were not fooled by the guard's deception. A police officer named Li Wei kicked a small plastic stool angrily. Finally, they moved the three practitioners to Room 206, which was heated, because the collaborators' feet and ears were hurting from being in that ice-cold room. Practitioner Sheng Lianying, 51, had frozen feet and was in pain..

    Five practitioners--Dong Jingya (34 years old from Shenyang), Ms. Meng Guiqiu (51 years old from Goubangzi), Ms. Jiang Guiyun (57 years old from Dalian), Ms. Sheng Lianying (51 years old from Dalian) and Ms. Liu Guiyuan (47 years old from Shenyang)--continued their hunger strike in order to resist the persecution. Dong Jingya had been on a hunger strike for nearly 10 months and recently was released. Ms. Meng Guiqiu suffered from brutal torture during her nearly 10-month-long hunger strike. Ms. Jiang Guiyun was on a hunger strike for 10 months and became too weak to sit up. She was tied to the death bed for five months, and was often not even allowed up to relieve herself. Ms. Sheng Lianying also had been on a hunger strike for nearly 10 months and was brutally tortured by a police guard named Xie Chengdong. One of her legs sustained nerve damage. The authorities extended Ms. Liu Guiyuan's two-year term an additional six months. Her husband passed away 10 years ago, and her parents are also dead. She only has one son. However, the police did not allow her son to visit her. He came to Masanjia and wanted to see his mother, but he was not allowed to enter. The police guards also threatened to detain him if he continued to come by. The practitioners mentioned above suffered every day from physical punishment between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. Cao Yujie, a police officer, and Chen Bing, a doctor, brutally force-fed them three times per day. Cao Yujie was the leader for force-feeding. His health has now deteriorated and sometimes he limps.

    The camp personnel not only fear Falun Gong practitioners worldwide and their exposing the persecution, they are worried that the relatives of these practitioners will appeal for justice. Practitioners Dong Jingya and Ms. Meng Guiqiu were not allowed to meet with their families. The guards used the excuse that it was because of the "bird flu." However, their families insisted on meeting with those practitioners and demanded to see the person in charge. The head of the No. 1 Team came out. He pretended to be very kind and said they would be sure tell the practitioners' families if they had any new information about the situation of their loved ones.

    Ms. Meng Guiqiu's father-in-law, who is 95 years old, was very righteous. He had traveled a long way from Goubangzi in Jinzhou Province to Masanjia in order to see his daughter-in-law. He insisted on talking to her regardless of what the guards said, including their excuse, "The bird flu is all over the province. Nobody is allowed to visit." The guards did not tell him that Ms. Meng was on a hunger strike. Finally, he met with Meng Guiqiu and said to the police, "Is there anything wrong with my daughter-in-law practicing Falun Gong? She is very dutiful to us old people. She is more attentive than my own daughter is. All the people around us agree that she is a good person. If she cannot go home then I will not go home either. I only want my daughter-in-law." Li Yuming, one of the Team heads, tried to persuade Meng Guiqiu's husband to divorce her but encountered criticism from her family.

    The police personnel have changed their attitude. They do not shout at practitioners any longer and have stopped putting corn congee on their faces. Ms. Guo Yajing, a practitioner from Shenyang, had been on a hunger strike for almost 10 months. They released her on February 27, 2006.

    Reenactment of Torture Methods at the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp - Part 2

     (Continued)

    Part 1: http://clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2006/3/19/70946.html

    Torture method 7: handcuffing

    Form A: handcuffing the arms behind the back


    Picture 23

    Picture 24

    Picture 25

    This is a torture where the Falun Gong practitioner is handcuffed with his arms behind his back while standing facing a wall. Sometimes the practitioner is forced to wear a helmet, and the guards additionally shock the practitioner's arms with electric baton(s). After several minutes, the practitioner cannot move his arms and he feels as if his arms are falling out of their sockets. The handcuffs cut into the flesh and his arms become severely swollen, and he loses feeling in his arms.

    Form B: handcuffed to a radiator pipe, nicknamed "Su Qin carrying a sword"


    Picture 26

    The practitioner is hung up in handcuffs on a radiator pipe. There are two metal clips on the radiator pipe about 5.9 feet above the ground, and the practitioner is hung from them in mid-air. The handcuffs cut into the flesh and cause excruciating pain. Some practitioners' arms have become disabled from this torture. In December 2002, guards Wang Xiaofeng and Xue Fengdiao hung practitioner Ms. Wang Yulan (49 years old, from Chaoyang City) from the radiator pipe in the division head's office until her right hand was scalded and she sustained a deep flesh wound, exposing the bone. Her left arm was disabled. She has been unable to move her left arm ever since. She is unable to work. In March 2005, practitioner Sun Jiping was dragged into the office and handcuffed to the radiator pipe after resisting brutal force-feeding.

    Form C: handcuffed in a spread-eagle position


    Picture 27

    Picture 28

    Picture 29

    The practitioner's arms are stretched to the maximum and handcuffed to the railing of the upper bunk of two bunk beds. His feet barely touch the ground; he is in a spread-eagle position. While being handcuffed this way, the guards savagely beat him or shock him with electric batons. This torture usually lasts several days.

    Form D: tie-up, handcuffing and hanging up


    Picture 30

    Picture 31


    Picture 32

    Picture 33

    The practitioner is handcuffed behind his back to the railing of the upper bunk; his feet are off the ground. This torture can result in permanent disability in the arms after a while. In December 2002, guard Dong Shuxia used this torture on 36-year-old practitioner Yang Yanting for 15 hours until both her arms were disabled (see the process shown in photos 30-33).

    Form E: squatting and handcuffing


    Picture 34


    Picture 35

    Picture 36

    The practitioner is handcuffed to the railing of the bottom bunk and his lower body is forced underneath the bed. This is a horrific torture. The victim sometimes suffers from severe lower back injury and cannot stand up. The practitioner is handcuffed this way for several hours, several days or more than ten days. The Masanjia Forced Labor Camp guards often use this torture to coerce practitioners to renounce Falun Gong. In October 2002, practitioner Song Xiuting from Tieling City, Liaoning Province, around 30 years of age, was tortured this way by guard Dong Shuxia.

    Torture method 8: sitting with arms raised


    Picture 37

    Picture 38

    The practitioner's legs are bound with rope or shackles and stretched forward. Two guards pull his arms up above him from side to back to the maximum while pressing down his head towards his knees until his chest touches the knees. One or more collaborators sit on the practitioner's back. The practitioner's head bends so it makes a U shape with the rest of the body and he almost suffocates. They torture the practitioner until he renounces Falun Gong.

    Torture method 9: split legs and head against the floor


    Picture 39

    Picture 40

    The practitioner's legs are split open to the maximum while he is handcuffed with his arms behind his back. The guards press his head downward until his face touches the floor. The practitioner's tendons are torn; it is excruciatingly painful. In mid-October 2000, practitioner Zou Guirong, who was later tortured to death, was tortured this way. She wrote, "Qiu Ping and Huang Haiyan (both are guards), and collaborators Wang Chunying, Chen Xiaoyu, Wang Yujie, Yang Lin and Qin Zhiqing pushed me down, tied my hands behind my back and pressed my head toward my thighs. My body bent like a compressed spring. I could hardly breathe and I screamed. They gagged me with a dirty rag. I struggled, crawled toward the restroom and was pulled back. My whole body and the floor underneath me were wet with sweat; my shoes were kicked away. I struggled several times and was held down several times..."

    Torture method 10: sitting on a small stool


    Picture 41

    The practitioner is forced to sit on a small stool and is forbidden to sleep. The guards stand next to the practitioner and watch him while reading in a loud voice books that slander and attack Falun Gong. This long-term torture results in tissue necrosis of the buttocks as they turn black and blue.

    Torture method 11: sitting in a basin of cold water


    Picture 42

    This torture is administered even in the coldest time of winter. The practitioner's buttocks are pushed into a basin containing cold water while the collaborators pull the practitioner's hands up from behind him. One collaborator vehemently pushes the practitioner's head down while another collaborator sits on his legs and pushes downward.

    Torture method 12: savage beating

    This is the most violent form of torture used against women Falun Gong practitioners at Masanjia Forced Labor Camp. The guards physically and verbally assault the practitioners at any time without restraint. Violence and terror fills this wicked place. Four reenactment scenes below illustrate four actual beating incidents.

    Scene 1:

    On April 17, 2004, the guards dragged practitioners to the division head's office, slapped their faces repeatedly with shoes, kicked their chests and punched their faces. Some practitioners had sustained ruptured eardrums in both ears, their faces became deformed and their teeth became loose.


    Picture 43

    Picture 44

    Picture 45

    Picture 46

    Scene 2:

    During the "Battle to take the Fort," which was forced "reform" in December 2003, practitioner Cui Guohua (59 years old, from Yi County) was savagely beaten by about eight people, headed by collaborators Li Junying and Zhao Xiuli from Jinzhou City. They concentrated their punches on Cui Guohua's head and face. Li Junying said, "Beat her hard!" Cui Guohua sustained a concussion and vomited whatever she ate after the beating. She felt her head was swinging when she walked. See photos 47-49.


    Picture 47

    Picture 48

    Picture 49

    Scene 3:

    The guards ordered inmates to savagely beat practitioner Zhen Xiuxiang. They banged her head against a wall, forced her to double-cross her legs, yanked her hair and tore her clothes. She suffered a mental collapse afterwards. See photos 50-52.


    Picture 50

    Picture 51

    Picture 52

    Scene 4:

    The guards brutally beat one practitioner until her face turned black and blue and she lost consciousness. The guards put a soiled sanitary napkin under the practitioner's nose to see if she really had lost consciousness. See photos 53-55.
