The Story of a Falun Gong Practitioner from Jinzhou
After I arrived at Beijing on October 9, I learned that policemen from all over the country were waiting outside the appealing office for practitioners who went to appeal. Since we could not appeal, we thus exchanged experiences in parks. Later we moved to the suburb. When we were eating, several policemen came in and claimed that they were from Jinzhou. I felt very calm upon seeing them since I had not done anything wrong. After they took me to the Longfeng hotel, a dozen of policemen started to interrogate me in a room. They asked me where a contact person had been. I told them that I really did not know where he had been. When they learned that I had gone to CCTV and People's Daily office to appeal, they started to beat and kick me madly, and they also slapped me many times. After they gave me dozens of slaps, and still could not get anything from me, they thus sank me into the water. I stayed in the water for more than ten hours. I had not eaten anything in three days. On the fourth day, they asked me whether I would like to eat something. I felt grateful for their "kindness" because at least they feared that I might die of hunger. Later they transferred me to the police department of Huludao City. Before they left, they sank my head into the water and I lost consciousness. They thus took me out of the water and kicked me until I re-gained my consciousness. They had tortured me like this for more than two hours until the local police department came to pick me up. After I was escorted back to the local detention center, four or five officers beat me madly using police clubs. When I went back to the cell, I found my whole body black and blue. I spent 14 miserable days like that in the detention center. I felt I was quite lucky compared to other fellow practitioners. They had suffered even more inhumane treatments such as being beaten up, being handcuffed, being shocked by electric clubs etc. For those who wrote the repentance letters under such tortures, each of them was still fined 2 to 3 thousand Yuan. Up to now, a total of 35 practitioners in Jinzhou have been sent to labor camps without trials. Some of them are Zhu Ying, Wang Yu-xian, Si Gui-fan, Dan Zhi-jia, Wu Nai-huan, Wang Jun, Chen Feng-zhen, Liu Ping and Ma Chao for 2 years, Cui Ya-ning for 2 and a half years, Dai Li-guo, Yi Hou-mei, He Gou-jun, Jia Jin-wen, Feng Wen-guang, Shang Peng and Wang Zhi-fei for 3 years. We appeal to the kindhearted people around the world to extend your humanitarian support to these innocent Falun Gong practitioners. Injustice to one is injustice to all. |
