  • Fan Dacheng Was Tortured to the Brink of Death at the Changji Forced Labor Camp and Later Died

     Mr. Fan Dacheng, a Falun Gong practitioner who was a resident in Manasi County, Xinjiang Autonomous Region, persisted in practicing Falun Gong and clarifying the truth about Falun Gong. As a result, he was persecuted many times. Perpetrators at the Changji Forced Labor Camp in Wujiaqu City in Xinjiang grossly abused him until he almost died; then his family member carried him home. He passed away on September 12, 2004.

    Mr. Fan Dacheng, about 55 years old, went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Gong in the spring of 2000. Upon his return, he was arrested and detained by the local police. Mr. Fan went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution and managed to walk out of prison with dignity. After this, he joined an outdoor Falun Gong group practice and was once again taken captive. He jumped down from a building to escape and was injured. Several months later, he could walk again and went to Beijing again to appeal for Falun Gong. After his return, he was sentenced to three years of forced labor. He suffered many different kinds of inhumane torture and torment in the Changji Forced Labor Camp in Wujiaqu City, Xinjiang. Officials at the Changji Forced Labor Camp made use of the imprisoned criminals to beat and insult Falun Gong practitioners who had just been detained. They also made use of two criminals to monitor each Falun Gong practitioner around the clock.

    Falun Gong practitioners who have suffered previous persecution have confirmed that vicious persecution takes place there.

    The Xinjiang Forced Labor Camp and prison, the Xinjiang Tianshan Wool Spinning and Weaving Limited Liability Company and the Xinjiang Changji Special Transformer Factory colluded with one another to carry out ruthless torture and enslavement of Falun Gong practitioners, compelling them to perform high-intensity work for as long as 20 hours every day. Many people did not get a chance to sleep in a bed for as long as 10 days to two weeks. They had to operate a loom, standing as long as a day and a night until their legs were swollen. When they fell asleep while knitting woolen sweaters, the guards would use electric batons to shock them and order the team leaders (criminal inmates) to assault them mercilessly with bricks and wooden clubs. When it was time to hand over the completed woolen sweaters, the police would handcuff those who had not completed the task to a hot air vent. The practitioners would be stripped naked and shocked with electric batons on various parts of their bodies, including the neck, armpits, lower abdomen, private parts, mouths and ears. In addition, their prison term would be lengthened.

    On November 25, 2001, all the Falun Gong practitioners imprisoned in the Changji Forced Labor Camp came out to request to be set free, as they were not guilty of any crime. They resisted the forced labor camp and refused to do forced labor.

    For the next three days, the police pretended to negotiate and agreed to improve the environment. In actuality, they covertly incited the criminals to forbid Falun Gong practitioners to sleep. Once a practitioner fell asleep, he or she would be awakened. After three days the police used the most unscrupulous method to dupe each Falun Gong practitioner to come to the torture room. Inside that room were at least four policemen fully equipped with different kinds of torture devices (electric batons, handcuffs, ropes etc.). Without listening to reason, they handcuffed the practitioner and tied him up with rope. Then the practitioner would be shocked all over his body with electric batons or beaten with fists or kicked. After that, the forced labor camp guards' persecution of practitioners was still rampant. One time the guards pasted many Falun Gong-slandering posters in a corridor. Falun Gong practitioner Fan Dacheng and all other Falun Gong practitioners went on a hunger strike to demand that these slanderous posters be taken down. Not long after that, the police took down the posters.

    Fan Dacheng was tortured and tormented in the Changji Forced Labor Camp until he was close to death. Only then were his family members allowed to bring him home. He passed away on September 12, 2004.

    The Sorrow of a Ten-Year-Old Girl

     Ten-year-old Zhaoming used to be a healthy and happy girl. However, four years ago, a sudden misfortune separated Zhaoming from her parents and caused deep sorrow in her heart.

    Her parents, Mr. Ma Benshun and Ms. Fan Xiuqin, lived in Shuangqiao District, Chengde City. Due to their refusal to give up the practice of Falun Gong, they were arrested by the police when they made materials to clarify the truth about Falun Gong. Witnessing her parents being arrested by the police, Zhaoming cried until she lost her voice. Without anyone to care for her, she was sent to her grandmother's home in the mountains by a kindhearted man.

    Her parents were sentenced to fourteen years in prison. They were held in Baoding Prison and Shijiazhuang Prison of Hebei Province.

    Four years ago, she was a carefree child basking in her parents' love. However, when we saw her again four years later, she looked at us with dull eyes. We felt so much sorrow and told her, "We came here to see you."

    "Thanks," she replied in a very low voice.

    We asked her, "Do you miss your mom and dad?"

    "Yes, I miss both of them." She averted her eyes and walked away, not wanting people to see her sadness.

    Her grandmother said that she was often in a sullen mood. The arrest of her parents pained her deeply and she became subdued from missing her parents.

    The Brutal Persecution Happening in the Tianjin Banqiao Women's Prison

     In the past several years, the Tianjin Banqiao Women's Prison has become synonymous with evil and brutality. Terrible crimes have been committed against Falun Gong practitioners. The following are examples of the persecution that the practitioners have suffered:

    1. Practitioner Li Shumin was locked up in a boiler room for 8 days and 8 nights by police officer Han Jinling. Her legs became swollen as a result, but she was still hung up for another day and night in the washroom. Han Jinling also struck Li Shumin's breasts and other sensitive areas with an electric baton until Li Shumin died.
    2. When police officer Yang Kuiying tried to force feed practitioner Du Ying, he broke her front teeth and inserted a tube down her throat. The officer sat on Du Ying for two hours and then cut her hair with scissors to humiliate her.
    3. Efforts made by the police to coerce practitioner Li Yan into giving up her practice of Falun Gong proved to be futile. They even brought in Li's mother and forced her to kneel before Li Yan for six days, while Li Yan was being slapped brutally. This did not yield any result either. A year after this, the police officer forced Li Yan to work in the garage all day. He made her stand throughout lunch before the work started again and did not let her rest at all. At night, she would be forced to stand until 3 or 4 am before being allowed to rest. Then, every morning, she had to wake up at 6 am to read propaganda material. Many of the people who were brainwashed came together in groups to threaten her. Li Yan almost lost consciousness on many occasions.
    4. The police officers tore practitioner Hong Cai's quilt into pieces, and stripped her clothes off before hanging her up high in the air. Four toothbrushes were tied together and then inserted into her vagina and brutally whirled until she bled profusely. The police also pinched her nipples to cause her more pain. In the winter, she was stripped to freeze in the cold; while in the summer, she was forced to remain outside under the scorching heat.
    5. Police officers Yang Kuimin and He Yumei threw practitioner Yang Xiong into a dog kennel, where the practitioner was bitten. Yang's mouth was stuffed with underwear while this occurred.
    6. After six months of imprisonment, Falun Gong practitioner Xue Ying was tied up, put in a sack and carried to a remote area, where the practitioner was brutally beaten.
    7. After practitioner You Guiyuan's handwritten copies of Master Li's teachings were discovered by the police, the practitioner was tortured and beaten by a group of four to five people. It wasn't until he was on the brink of death that he was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.
    8. Practitioner Li Tongfang was thrown to a pig sty and tortured using an "Itch Rope." The practitioner was tied up with this rope that caused severe itching and then hung from a tree.
    9. Practitioner Gui Ling was handcuffed and shackled for more than two and a half years. Police officer Zhang Hongxia ordered several men to beat the practitioner until her mouth gurgled with blood. In the two years that Gui Ling was shackled, her mouth was stuffed with a towel or a ragged cloth to prevent her from shouting "Falun Dafa is good!" She was monitored to prevent her from seeing other practitioners in the washroom.
    10. The police officers in the Banqiao Women's Prison created a number of ways to induce the Falun Gong practitioners to sit or step on Teacher Li's picture. If practitioners resisted, their feet would be forcefully carried to step on Teacher's picture.

    Daqing City Prison's Deputy Chief Claims, "It's No Big Deal to Kill Some Falun Gong"


    After returning from a meeting in Xi'an City, Deputy Chief of Daqing Prison Jiang Shuchen and Director of the local 610 Office Guo Chuntang started another round of persecution against Falun Gong.

    In the special meeting to direct the persecution campaign, Guo claimed, "It is no big deal to kill some Falun Gong. It doesn't matter at all."

    Under his watch, the Second and Seventh Divisions of the prison escalated their persecution against Falun Gong practitioners. Pan Chaolin, who was in charge, instructed the prisoners, "You guys may beat them to death."

    Some of the inmates tied up practitioners Chen Peiming and Zhu Hongbing for three days and nights. The chief of Division Seven announced, "If they refuse to 'transform', we'll transform their bodies to ashes."

    Practitioner Mr. Xu Jishan was murdered when they drowned him in the bathhouse. When perpetrator Xu Dezhi, who was in charge of the site, saw Mr. Xu dead, he escaped. The eight other prisoners fabricated a story to conceal their crime.

    Zhu Rui, the chief of Division Three, beat and cursed practitioners. Dong Fenghuan, the chief of Division Six, tortured Mr. Yuan Qingjiang, who vomited blood. Li Tie took way practitioners' clothing, claiming he was "clearing up the ward." Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Jin Sheng was confined to and tortured in an Iron Chair (1) for twenty days. Mr. Bi Yunfei and four other practitioners were held in their cells and not allowed to go to the toilet when the persecution was intensified.

    The above occurrences are just a few reported cases from Daqing City Prison.

    (1) Iron Chair - The iron chair is made of iron pipes. Victims are restrained on the iron chairs with both arms and legs tied up for a long period of time.

    Many Detainees Suffered Tin Poisoning in Shizishan Forced Labor Camp, Hubei Province

     From the appearance of the buildings, with its fashionable decorations, no one would readily assume that the Hubei Provincial Shizishan Drug Rehabilitation Center is a forced labor camp created to persecute the detainees. When inspectors came, the detainees were watching TV under the supervision of a staff member and enjoying a good meal at lunchtime. As soon as the inspectors left, however, the inhuman treatment and forced labor began again.

    The workshop near the ward would be full of noise again, with sparkling grey tin dust floating in the air, which easily found its way to the noses and lungs of the detainees.

    There were four teams in Shizishan Forced Labor Camp. Hundreds of Falun Gong practitioners were detained in the No.2 and No.3 teams, where tinfoil has been produced for a long time. The manufacturing procedure involves using a bamboo stick to detach the tin sheets shaped by machine, and then using a steel stabber to press the tin sheet onto the yellow paper without exposure. The tin foil was made for export. The quota was about 2,000 sheets per day for every detainee. Some practitioners who failed to make the quota, owing to old age or being nearsighted, were usually deprived of supper or not allowed to sleep, and experienced the torture of "standing in a military posture", "riding an airplane", or "digging the corner" [Standing one meter away from the wall with head touching the corner].

    The detainees also ate in the same workshop. The table, dishes and boxes containing food were all contaminated with tin dust. The workshop was crowded with hundreds of detainees without electric fans and without a window opening, because wind would make the room a mess and affect the product quality and production efficiency. Besides tinfoil, there were all kind of handcrafts made there as forced labor products, including Chinese ties.

    Under such deplorable working conditions, many detainees suffered from dermatitis and scabies, with itching all over their bodies. Almost all the detainees who produced the tinfoil suffered from tin poisoning, with swelling in their feet. One drug addict from Yichang city was in very poor health with white hair and cankered feet, while another from Huangshi city, in his thirties, frequently got fevers and passed away soon after being released for medical care. It's said that he died of lung cancer.

    In the daytime, Falun Gong practitioners were forced to finish the burdensome quota of tinfoil production, while in the evening, they were forced to stand facing the walls and recite the regulations of the forced labor camp, which were aimed at persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. Resistance would lead to brutal beatings. Moreover, every Falun Gong practitioner was watched by two drug addicts, who monitored Falun Gong practitioners and kept them from sleeping, and abused them using the torture of "digging the wall" or "digging the corner." Wang Liyuan, a Falun Gong practitioner from Xianning, was beaten into unconsciousness many times, revived, and beaten again. Another Falun Gong practitioner from Tongcheng city was tortured to the point of suffering a mental breakdown. Guo Maoquan, a Falun Gong practitioner from Wuxue, who was illegally sentenced to the forced labor camp in March of 2001 and released in the spring of 2002, passed away on December 10, 2003, as a result of severe physical and mental persecution.

    A local newspaper reported that the tin content of the soil in the South Lake area where the forced labor camp is located highly exceeded the acceptable standard, and represented severe contamination of the soil. Owing to the opposition of the public and the poisonous side effects, tinfoil production had to be discontinued. On April 17, 2003, all of the Falun Gong practitioners were transferred to the Shayang Forced Labor Camp, another notorious forced labor camp.

    Five Falun Gong Practitioners Die as a Result of the Persecution

     Mr. Hou Hei, 70, was a resident of Chizhongdian Village, Wanjin Town, Zhaoling District, Tahe City, Henan Province. He was a technician at the No. 1 Paper Mill of Tahe City. In 1999, Mr. Hou went to Beijing to clarify the truth, after which the police arrested and took him to a brainwashing center. After he was released, he went a second time to Beijing. The police arrested him again and took him to a brainwashing center. The persecutors tortured and threatened him, and also ransacked his home many times. Mr. Hou died in 2004.

    Mr. Zheng Honghai, 68, was a resident of Tuogou Village, Deng Town, Yancheng County, Tahe City, Henan Province. Around July 20, 1999, Mr. Zheng went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. The police arrested him and took him to a brainwashing center, ransacked his home, and tortured him many times. On August 20, 2004, the police ransacked his home again and threatened him. At that time, Mr. Zheng was reading the book Zhuan Falun. The police snatched the book from him. Zheng said, "Teacher Li's book is more precious than my life - taking the book away from me will kill me." The police ignored him and took the book away. Within three days, Mr. Zheng passed away.

    Ms. Su Fang was a resident of Huadian City, Jilin Province. In March 1996, she and her sister Su Fen began to practice Falun Gong. Ms. Su Fen recovered from all her illnesses after she started practicing Falun Gong. After the persecution started on July 20, 1999, Ms. Su Fang persisted in practicing Falun Gong, despite severe persecution by the Huadian City 610 Office. The persecutors forced her family members to monitor her, using contemptible methods, and to interfere with her practicing the exercises. Ms. Su Fang did not cooperate with the persecutors. She lived a hard life already, yet the persecutors harassed and tortured her many times. As a result, she developed some illness symptoms and died on September 21, 2002. Her sister Su Fen gave in to the persecutors and suffered a recurrence of her former illnesses. She passed away on May 30, 2001.

    Ms. Yan Xiulin, 80, was a resident of Lanzhou City, Gansu Province. She began to practice Falun Gong in 1997. Shortly after that, all her illnesses disappeared. After July 20, 1999, the persecution of other practitioners made her suffer mentally and physically. She died in April 2002 from an illness.

    Mr. Gao Xichen, 78, was a resident of Yanshan Town, Fujin City, Heilongjiang Province. He began to practice Falun Gong in spring 1996, after which he enjoyed good health. After July 20, 1999, his three children were detained for validating Falun Gong. The local police often came to his home and harassed him. The persecution severely hurt his mind and body, and consequently he stopped practicing Falun Gong. He suffered a stroke in April 2000 and developed diabetes. Although he received medical treatment, it was ineffective. He passed away in November 2000.

    How Yu Guanghong, a Policeman from the Changchun Road Police Station, Jilin City, Persecutes Practitioners

     Since July 20, 1999, when the persecution of Falun Gong began, policeman Yu Guanghong (male, in his 40's, from the Changchun Road Police Station) has been actively following Jiang's orders to persecute Falun Gong practitioners. He has often arrested and harassed practitioners. He has arrested nearly 20 practitioners and sentenced them to forced labor. Below are some facts as told by some of his victims.

    Ms. Hou Shufen is in her 50's and from Huanxi Township. Policeman Yu Guanghong often harassed her and sent her to a detention center. On May 17, 2005, Hou Shufen was arrested and taken to the brainwashing center of the Chuanying District, Jilin City.

    Policeman Yu arrested Mr. Zhao Jun, who is 34 years old. Later he was subjected to torture and was hung up and beaten for one night. Because he went to Beijing to appeal, Yu sent him to a detention center and later sentenced him to prison.

    Ms. Li Qinghui, 28, is from Fengjiatun Village. Yu sent her to a forced labor camp for one year. After she returned, Yu acted as if he was taking her for a physical examination but attempted to send her to the forced labor camp again. Ms. Li's living conditions are very difficult.

However, in May 2005, Yu sent her to a brainwashing center.

    Ms. Shi Shuxia is in her 30's and has a child who goes to school. Policeman Yu Guanghong arrested her and sent her to a forced labor camp.
