  • Practitioner Mr. Zhang Zhagen Tortured to Death in the Kaifeng City Forced Labor Camp

    Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Zhang Zhagen from Kaifeng City, Henan Province, was tortured to the brink of death in the Kaifeng City Forced Labor Camp in Henan Province. He was sent to the Kaifeng City Medical Institute Hospital for emergency treatment on June 24, 2005. On the night of June 27, 2005, he died. An investigation seeking more detailed information on how Mr. Zhang Zhagen was persecuted to death is currently underway.

    The doctor who treated Mr. Zhang said that he was dying when he arrived at the hospital from the forced labor camp, and that if he had survived, he would have most likely remained in a comatose state. In the hospital Mr. Zhang was completely unconscious and in a deep coma. He had such difficulty breathing that he had to be put on a ventilator. His face and legs were swollen, and all of his major organs were malfunctioning. While he was in the hospital, he was monitored 24 hours a day by police guards from the forced labor camp, who stayed outside the emergency room, and his family members were not allowed to visit him.

    Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Zhang Zhagen was a 52-year-old former employee of the Kaifeng Guest House as well as a retired military officer. He was repeatedly and illegally detained. On March 6, 2005, the police from Daxing Police Station of Kaifeng City took him from his home, sentenced him to a two-year term of imprisonment, and detained him at the Kaifeng City Forced Labor Camp for further persecution. Although Mr. Zhang had gone on a hunger strike to protest the persecution he was subjected to at the forced labor camp, the officials and police guards there kept torturing him. The forced labor camp authorities didn't send him to Kaifeng City Medical Institute Hospital for emergency treatment until June 24, when he had been on his hunger strike for nine days and had been tortured to the brink of death. At that time, Mr. Zhang Zhagen's bloodshot eyes were wide open, his face was swollen, and he had difficulty catching his breath. His arms were covered in purple bruises from the beatings he had received.

    It was generally known that Mr. Zhang Zhagen had been illegally detained at the Education Division of the forced labor camp. Xu Yinhai, the Head of the Education Division, had instigated criminals to deprive him of sleep, drag him, force him to stand under the baking sun on hot days, and to torture him using several other methods.

    Xu Yinhai, over 40, is a police guard at the Kaifeng City Forced Labor Camp. He is quick-tempered and is called one of "the four wicked evils" by the criminals at the forced labor camp. He has instigated criminals to torture several Falun Gong practitioners.

    How the 610 Office Persecuted Falun Gong Practitioner Mr. Wei Xingliang until He Died in Aohan Banner, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region

    The 610 Office in the Aohan Area, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, headed by Guo Xiaoguang and Liu Keqin, has joined up with the National Security Division headed by Gong Chuanxing to harass Falun Gong practitioners. They arrest practitioners and take them to a brainwashing center, extort money from their townships or workplaces and use all kinds of other method to force them to give up their belief.

    Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Wei Xingliang from Jinchanggouliang Town, the Aohan Banner was arrested and sent to a brainwashing center at least five times. He was severely persecuted to the point of a mental collapse. On May 24, 2005, when he was cleaning a balcony window, he fell from the fourth floor and died, at only 51 years old.

    Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Wei Xingling worked hard at the Jinchanggouliang Gold Mine and received many awards. He was well known as a good person in Jinchanggouliang Town. After July 20, 1999, when Jiang Zemin started persecuting Falun Gong, Mr. Wei went to Beijing to peacefully appeal for the right to practice Falun Gong. After he went back home, however, as a punishment, his workplace deprived him of his bonus.

    On the 10th day of the 3rd month in the Chinese Lunar Calendar of the year 2001 (about April 2001), Gong Chuanxing from the Aohan National Security Division searched through Mr. Wei's home, suspecting that he had been storing and distributing Falun Gong materials. The searchers did not find anything, but still arrested Mr. Wei and detained him at the Aohan Detention Center. Mr. Wei went on a hunger strike for half a month to protest the persecution. He was released two weeks later, after he was forced to write a guarantee statement not to practice Falun Gong and after they extorted 1,500 yuan from his family members. In June 2002 Liu Xiaoguang, the head of the 610 Office and his assistant, Liu Keqin, incited the staff to arrest Mr. Wei again. This time they detained him in the brainwashing center located at the Aohan Banner Hedong School of Health. They forced him to watch videos defaming Falun Gong, curse Falun Gong's Teacher and Falun Gong and to lie. They violated his human dignity by humiliating him and the forced him to write the three statements.

    On June 24, 2004, Liu Keqin arrested Mr. Wei once again, this time at his workplace, and detained him in the Aohan Hedong Brainwashing Center for over 40 days. Along with him, two older female Falun Gong practitioners, Ms. Zhao Fenglan and Ms. Luo Yanchun, were also persecuted. During their detention they were forced to watch videos defaming Falun Gong every day and write their "experience sharing" and "five statements."

    Around late October 2004, Zhao Jingzhong from the Jinchanggaoliang Town Police Station, urged on by personnel from the Aohan 610 Office, secretly arrested Mr. Wei once again, and locked him up in the brainwashing center located at the Aohan Banner Hedong School of Health for over 20 days. They still forced him to watch videos defaming Falun Gong every day, write the "experience sharing" and "five statements" and others. Guo Xiaoguang, Liu Keqin and others admitted on their own that that Falun Gong practitioners were all good people, and that the "Tiananmen Self-immolation" was staged by the government. However, they said they would still force Falun Gong practitioners to acknowledge that the "Tiananmen Self-immolation" was real, to see if they were indeed "reformed" and had indeed given up  practice. In early November, these personnel forced Mr. Wei Xingliang to practice another Qigong in the Aohan School of Advanced Studies. Later, Mr. Wei Xingliang escaped and fled back home.

    Being arrested again and again, suffering mental attacks one after another, being forced to lie, to curse Falun Gong and Teacher, to write "three statements" and "five statements" again and again, Mr. Wei could not withstand the blows and became absent minded. Just four days before he died, he cried in front of others in one of his relatives' homes in Aohan.

    The 610 Office heads Guo Xiaoguang and Liu Keqin cannot shirk their responsibility for Mr. Wei Xingliang's death. Even today, Mr. Wei's family members and relatives do not dare to speak out about his death or seek justice from the government because of Guo and Liu's threats and their abuse of power. Now, Guo and Liu are running a brainwashing class again in Aohan. On June 17 two Falun Gong practitioners, Li Xiulan and Xu Guizhi, were already arrested.

    The Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners at the Chatou Brainwashing Center in Guangzhou

    Chatou Brainwashing Center in Guangzhou has been persecuting local Falun Gong practitioners ever since its establishment at the beginning of 2000. When it was just established, the authorities illegally charged Falun Gong practitioners, their workplaces and neighborhood committee 9,500 yuan every month per practitioner. The amount has been reduced to 1,000 yuan. At present, there are over ten Falun Gong practitioners who remain in detention and are suffering torture at the brainwashing center. Details about each are listed below:

    1. Mr. Li Jianzhong, 38 years old, is an engineer of the Guangdong Highway Design Institute. As a result of his excellent work, he was commended by his workplace. During the 2005 Spring Festival, the Party committee secretary at his workplace sent him to the brainwashing center because he publicly clarified the facts of the persecution to his colleagues. In order to avoid the persecution and the constant threat of arrest, Mr. Li's wife left home with her daughter and has been homeless and destitute for almost two years. According to Lai Jianfeng, the brainwashing center's chief instructor, Li Jianzhong's workplace knows the whereabouts of his wife and daughter. When his daughter turns two, they will arrest his wife.

    2. Ms. Lu Xianming, over 30 years old, is in long-term detention at the brainwashing center after being forced into a labor camp. She continues to go on hunger strikes to appeal against the persecution, and was force-fed three times a day for a long period of time.

    3. Ms. Deng Yi, over 30 years old, was force-fed by intravenous injection for a long time due to her hunger strike.

    4. Ms. Wu Xiuhua, about 30 years old, is from Haizhu District, Guangzhou City. She was illegally sent to a forced labor camp. Ms. Wu was transferred from Chatou Detention Center to Chatou Brainwashing Center and has been there for more than one year. Wu Xiuhua began a hunger strike in mid-April of this year. At present she is imprisoned in a dark, damp, isolated cell, where she is suffering physically and mentally.

    5. Mr. Lin Xiujin, about 60 years old, illegally detained for almost one year.

    6. Ms. Zhang Li, over 40 years old, illegally detained for nearly a year because she distributed truth-clarifying materials.

    7. Ms. Yuan Ming, 29 years old, an English teacher at Guangzhou City Evening University.

    8. Ms. Yan Jin, 28 years old.

    There are three more practitioners who are detained at the brainwashing center. Their names are unknown at this stage.

    The key evil personnel in charge of brainwashing at Chatou Brainwash Center include Chief Instructor Lai Jianfeng, instructor Yang Yongcheng and Deng Quan.

    Xu Qingsong is a Tianhe District 610 Office policeman. When practitioners asked his name, he lied, saying that his first name is Hai. He is notorious for brutally persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. He appears ferocious but he is extremely frightened inside. When Falun Gong practitioners around the world send forth righteous thoughts together, he trembles all over and cannot even write with a pen.

    Others participating in the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners include:

    Lu Hai, a policeman from the Tianhe District 610 Office, phone number 13802742011 (Cell phone)

    Wang Junxia, Security Bureau Assistant, 28 years old, from Shandong Province. Wang Junxia came to South China looking for work and was hired by the brainwashing center. Her phone number is 86-20-33033015 (Cell).

    There are other security guards who also came to South China looking for work and were hired by the brainwashing center to assist the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. Their monthly salary is less than 1,000 yuan and most of them are young women of about 20 years old. They are Zhang Weiping, Zhao Fuhua, Li Haiyan, Tian Lipeng, Peng Zhen, Ouyang Ting, Li Yan and Chen Peipei.

    Brainwashing Center in Chuanying District, Jilin City Is Shut Down, but the 610 Office of Huadian City Continues to Commit Crimes

    (Clearwisdom.net)

    In May 2005, officials of the Chuanying District in Jilin City established a brainwashing center in the Jilin Chunguang Dairy Products Company Hotel. Because of practitioners' righteous thoughts and righteous actions, the center was shut down in early June. 610 Office staff from Jilin City, Huadian City, and Hongshi Township cooperated to run another brainwashing center in the Hongshi Township Hotel to continue to persecute practitioners.

    In May 2005, Deputy Party Secretary Zhang Xiaolan (female) of the Chuanying District, Party Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee Wang Hongtu, Deputy Party Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and Director of the 610 Office Wang Hongjia, Head of the district's Juridical Bureau Pang Jiang, and other officials made an agreement with Qu Jiang, the Chief Manager of the Jilin Chunguang Dairy Products Company, that they would run a brainwashing center in the company-owned hotel for two months.

    Brainwashing center (the company-owned hotel)

    Many practitioners were detained at the brainwashing center. Police and others restricted practitioners at the center and tried to force them to give up practicing Falun Gong. Two practitioners were detained in one room and watched by two people.

    On May 19, 2005, a practitioner learned about the new brainwashing center and hurried there to obtain more detailed information. One practitioner called the chief manager of Jilin Chunguang Dairy Products Company, Qu Jiang, for details and posted the news on the Clearwisdom website. This detailed information about the brainwashing center spread among local practitioners. Practitioners produced and distributed stickers exposing the brainwashing center's evil behavior; banners saying, "Stop the Persecution" and "Release Illegally Detained Practitioners Immediately;" and truth clarification materials. Practitioners from overseas also called the persons responsible, who were alarmed to discover that their actions were being exposed.

    On the evening of May 19, with the cooperation of the local practitioners, more than 20 large stickers saying, "Stop Committing Crimes, Release the Innocent Immediately" were stuck onto the gate of the brainwashing center (the company-owned hotel); electric poles; and other places on the road to expose the evil.

    One practitioner hung a four-meter-long banner reading, "Stop the Persecution, Release Detained Practitioners Immediately" on the fence outside of the brainwashing center. Other local practitioners who could not make it to the location also contributed by sending forth righteous thoughts.

    The family members of the detained practitioners went to the brainwashing center to appeal for the release of their loved ones. The practitioners at the brainwashing center were strong in their beliefs and started a hunger strike to protest the persecution against them. Many practitioners went to places close to the brainwashing center to send forth righteous thoughts every day or posted stickers exposing the persecution.

    Chuanying Brainwashing Center in Jilin City was shut down by the voice of justice from around the world in early June. Ms. Wang Ying, a practitioner on a hunger strike, came out of the center with righteous thoughts. However, she had been injected with unknown nerve damaging drug, and her health was severely damaged.

    After coming home, Ms. Wang Ying felt extreme fatigue, so she went to the 610 Office of the Chuanying District and questioned the officials, "What did you inject me with? My heart has been beating faster than normal, and I have been muddle-headed for days." The 610 Office staff lied to her, saying that they had injected nutritional supplements.

    When the Chuanying Brainwashing Center failed, the 610 Office of Jilin City cooperated with the 610 Offices in Huadian City and Hongshi Township to set up other brainwashing centers to persecute practitioners. On June 8, 2005, the 610 Offices of Huadian, Jiapigou, and Hongshi, plus police and neighborhood committees, started to work together to abduct practitioners. At present more than ten practitioners are being detained and persecuted at the brainwashing center in Hongshi Township, Huadian City.

    On June 14, 2005, the 610 Offices of five counties in the Jilin City area held a meeting at the Huadian City government hotel to plan further persecution efforts against local practitioners.

    (Note: The population of Jilin City is more than 4,000,000. The city is in charge of five districts and five counties or county-level cities: Chuanying District, Longtan District, Changyi District, Fengman District, Gaoxin District; Huadian City, Shulan City, Jiaohe City, Panshi City, and Yongji County.)

    Mrs. Wang Xiuhua, 31 years, lived in Houping Station, Qiaotou Village, Chalukou Township, Dehui City, Liaoning Province. She was sickly, physically weak, constantly concerned about her healthand suffered from various illnesses before she practiced Falun Gong. All of her illnesses disappeared without her noticing it after she began to practice Falun Gong. Around April 24, 2001, the local police arrested her and took her to a brainwashing center, which was conducted by the Party School of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) in Dehui City. She didn't cooperate with them and started a hunger strike to protest the persecution. As a result, she was released on April 29. Afterwards, the local police repeatedly went to her home to harass and threaten her. In order to avoid being arrested again, she was forced to leave home and become destitute and homeless. She passed away in June 2004.

    Mrs. Li Lianyu, 69 years old, lived in Dongzhuang Village, Houshayu Township, Shunyi County, Beijing City. She went to Beijing twice to appeal for  Falun Gong at Tiananmen Square, in April and June 2000 respectively. As a result, she was arrested. During the police interrogation, she thoroughly negated all the evil's commands and arrangements. She refused to sign her name on any documents or to give her fingerprints. Afterward, she went home with dignity. Her four daughters were also persecuted because they persisted in practicing Falun Gong. The police repeatedly searched Mrs. Li's house and confiscated her personal property. All of these events caused tremendous injury to her both mentally and physically. The harassment affected her so negatively that she ended up spending her waking hours in extreme terror. She passed away in September 2000.

    Ms. Gao Shulian, was a seventy year old female of Hui (Muslim) nationality. She was a retired accountant from the Fengcheng Hospital, Fengcheng City, Liaoning Province. Someone informed the police while she was distributing truth-clarifying materials. As a result, she was arrested and detained in a detention center for 15 days. After she was released, she continued to clarify the truth and distribute truth-clarifying materials. The Wenhua Police Station arrested her again and beat her while she was at the police station. Due to being extremely frightened, her health was affected. She suffered from serious illnesses and passed away in the latter half of 2004.

    Ms. Li Xiuchun, 65 year old, lived in the Tiedong District, Anshan City, Liaoning

    Province. She suffered from serious diabetes and was emaciated and highly irritable before she started practicing Falun Gong. After she began to practice Falun Gong, all her diseases disappeared, a rosy and healthy complexion appeared on her face, she no longer had a temper, and she became considerate. After the persecution of Falun Gong started, she exposed the evil and clarified the truth to people. As a result, the police and the local officials from her community repeatedly threatened and harassed her. She suffered tremendously, both mentally and physically. Her illness relapsed, and she passed away in October 2000.

    Ms. Fang Chengzhi, sixty-four years old, lived in Yang Shu Township, Dehui City, Jilin Province. Because of the government's cruel persecution, Ms. Fang suffered from tremendous mental pressure and died in January 15, 2004.

    Ms. Jiang Jifang, sixty-four years old, lived on Guilin Road, the Chaoyang District, Changchun City, Jilin Province. She started practicing Falun Gong in 1997. After July 20, 1999, because Ms. Jiang appealed for the right to practice Falun Gong and clarified the truth to everyday people, she was persecuted to death in 2001.

    Ms. Li Yanbo, over sixty years old, was from Liaoyang City, Liaoning Province. She started practicing Falun Gong in June 1998. After she started practicing, all her illnesses disappeared effortlessly. After July 20, 1999, when the persecution started, the police station and the officials in her community repeatedly went to her house to harass and threaten her. She suffered tremendous injury both mentally and physically. Her old illnesses relapsed, and she passed away in November 2003.

    Ms. Guan Meilan, seventy years old, lived in Fengcheng City, Liaoning Province. She went to the capital city of Liaoning to peacefully appeal for Falun Gong on July 20, 1999. As a result, she was detained. Afterwards, the police repeatedly harassed and threatened her. Because she was forbidden to study Falun Gong and practice the exercises, she suffered a stroke and passed away in the latter half of 2004.

    Ms, Zhang Yuanzhi, fifty-eight years old, was a retiree and a Falun Gong practitioner from XinJiang Province. In September 1999, she was threatened, harassed, and persecuted to death.

    Ms. Wang Nailing, eighty-one years old, was a Falun Gong Practitioner in Tangshan City. After she started practicing Falun Gong in 1998, she completely recovered from hepatitis and an eye disease. After July 20, 1999, due to the lack of an environment to study Falun Gong and to practice the exercises with others, she was physically affected. In addition, her daughter was sent to a detention center because she distributed truth-clarifying materials. All of these events caused tremendous injury to her. Her previous diseases relapsed, and she passed away in April 2003.

    Mr. Lin Jingfu, fifty-eight years old, lived in Taipingzhuang Village, Huixiang City, Henan Province. He was arrested during a Fa conference held by Jiushan practitioners in Huixiang City. He was detained for half a month and fined 500 yuan. After he was released, his health condition deteriorated. He passed away on October 22, 2002.

    1. Tianshui City Third Prison Guards Brutally Torture Practitioner Mr. Wang Yongming in Gansu Province.

    The types of tortures used in the Tianshui Third Prison are particularly cruel and savage. Since March 2005 Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Wang Yongming has been brutally tortured because he resisted the persecution. At one time six prison guards put handcuffs and ankle shackles on him and used three and four electric batons, each with 300 kilowatts voltage, to shock him. Guards even stuck the batons into his mouth, shocked his tongue, his teeth, his head, neck and hands. During the nights, guards encouraged prisoners in the same cell unit to torture him, to not allow him to sleep, and to force him to stand still without touching the wall. As soon as he fell asleep, the prisoners would scream and threaten him. Mr. Wang Yongming was tortured like this for five entire days. Mr. Wang was already in extreme pain from the electric baton shocks, but the guards still encouraged prisoners to beat him; to kick his handcuffs, which cut into his wrists; and to punch him in the chest, making it painful for him to breathe. Prisoners held him up against a wall by his clothes and beat him with their fists. All of this was because Mr. Wang refused to give up his faith in Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance. He was inhumanly tortured by being locked in solitary confinement for 50 days, where he had to sleep on the floor more than half the time. He was not allowed visits from his family, and all contact with the outside world was cut off.
