Crimes Committed:

In October 2000, Chongqing City's Xishanping Forced Labor Camp specifically set up the No. 1 Team within the No. 7 Division to persecute Falun Gong practitioners. Inmates were chosen by guards to serve as "education aids." Guards were promoted and financially rewarded if they made an extra effort to persecute Falun Gong practitioners. "Education aids" were rewarded financially or by reduced sentences if they worked hard to persecute Dafa practitioners. Every Dafa practitioner illegally imprisoned here was assigned 2-10 fixed "education aids" to watch over and monitor them 24 hours a day. Also, guards have arranged additional hired men.

There are about 15 people imprisoned in a 20-square-meter room, where people eat, drink, sleep and go to the bathroom. Beds are 0.8 meter wide. Each "education aid" has a bed, while two Falun Gong practitioners share a bed. The toilet bucket is located right next to beds. Sometimes, Falun Gong practitioners are not allowed to use the toilet for an entire day. When Dafa practitioners walk outside, two "education aids" will walk by their side, while other aids press their heads down.

On December 19, 2001, Falun Gong practitioner Cao Xuanlu, 48 years old, refused to wear the forced labor camp uniform. Division Chief Hu Hong, Political Chief Tian Xing, team leader Liu Hua, staff Gao Ding and more than 20 prison staff members ordered "education aids" Deng Ping, He Weidong, Dan Ming, Xing Gongwen, Xu Feng and others to violently beat Cao until he was in critical condition. He was sent to the prison hospital emergency room. Cao regained consciousness 60 hours later in the hospital.

On January 9, 2002, Cao was taken back to his team by staff member Li Qiwei. The next day, Political Chief Xiao and two "education aids" dragged him back to the hospital. Cao was covered with injuries, blood and mud. He received 13 stitches in his head at the hospital.

One day later, while Cao was still unconscious, the forced labor camp authorities informed him that his jail term was extended for two months, to a total of 11 months.

On December 19, 2001, Chongqing Petroleum Equipment Company retired employee Xue Junhe, a 66-year-old Falun Gong practitioner, protested the torture. Prison guard Liu Hua screamed, "Not only will we persecute you, we will hit you hard. Take him out." Chen Shengyu, Xing Gongwen and two "education aids" dragged Xue to the center of the yard immediately. Right after Xue said, "Falun Dafa is the righteous Fa," the "education aids" took off Xue's shoes and socks, and stuffed the socks into his mouth. Xue's lips were cut, and he was forced face down into the ground. Two people were holding down Xue's head with their feet, two people were holding his neck, four were holding his arms and four were pressing his legs. Xue was brutally tortured, and his right elbow was fractured.

Every time the forced labor camp was preparing to force feed Falun Gong practitioners on hunger strike, some "education aids" would urinate in the bucket containing milk, which would be used to force feed Dafa practitioners. Xue's nose bled badly from the force-feeding.

On December 19, 2001, Zhang Shengquan, a 43-year-old Falun Gong practitioner from Guanan County, refused to wear the uniform marked "forced labor" in order to protest the persecution. Under the instruction of prison guards, "education aids" Chen Shengyu, Zhang Peng, Xing Gongwen, Wu Yin, Xu Chengyong and others brutally tortured Zhang. His ribcage and heart were damaged seriously, which led to internal bleeding. He was sent to a hospital emergency room. Zhang was later brought back to his team before he had fully recovered. Because he clarified the truth again, one of his front teeth were broken, and three others were knocked out, and one of the toes on his left foot was badly injured. Later, Zhang was pressured to write the "Three Statements"* (Repentance Statement, Guarantee Statement and Dissociation Statement), but he refused. After that, prison guards and "education aids" used all means to abuse and torture him. He was not allowed to use the bathroom for an entire day and deprived of sleep for a number of days.

On February 20, 2002, Lu Jianjun, a 26-year-old Falun Gong practitioner from Dianjiang County, was asked to read a book that slanders Falun Gong. Lu refused to read and pointed out the lies in the book. Immediately, "education aids" Peng Daiyou, Lai Zhaohui, Xu Lin, Zhou Min and others tortured him brutally. His entire body was covered with bruises, his face was swollen and distorted, and his left eye was black and couldn't see anything. In the afternoon, there were visitors from the judiciary system at the forced labor camp. The prison officials, as well as division and team leaders, hid from sight Lu and other Falun Gong practitioners who were tortured in the past.

Zhang Quanliang is a Falun Gong practitioner from the Chongqing Dadukou District. His toenails were injured and fell off during beatings. Except for his face and hands, his entire body was covered with injuries, with new wounds on top of the old. In the past two years, prison guards frequently tried to wear him down by giving him little or no food, calling it "hunger therapy."
