(Clearwisdom.net) (Correspondent from Heilongjiang Province) According to the information that we have received recently, Mr. Jiang Bingzhi, from Changfa Village, Shiquan Town, Beian City, Heilongjiang Province, was persecuted to death in the Suihua Forced Labor Camp because of his refusal to give up Falun Gong. Mr. Jiang was subjected to cruel torture before his death. According to a prison guard from the labor camp, Mr. Jiang always refused to cooperate with their efforts to force him to give up Falun Gong.
Mr. Jiang Bingzhi
The following is the direct cause of Mr. Jiang's death. Although subjected to all kinds of torture, Mr. Jiang still refused make any concession to the labor camp to give up Falun Gong. One day, a prison guard opened the door of Mr. Jiang's confinement cell and threw two handbags into the cell. His personal cangues, prisoners assigned by prison guards to monitor Falun Gong practitioners closely, understood what the prison guards wanted them to do. They covered Mr. Jiang's head with the bags, strangled him with a rope and started to beat him cruelly. Due to the suffocation and the cruel beating, Mr. Jiang went into a vegetative state during the torture.
On Saturday, August 22, 2009, Mr. Jiang's son went to the labor camp to see him. However, the labor camp refused his request and told him to see his father the following Monday. That Monday, the family could not go to see him because they were occupied by something else. On Wednesday, the labor camp called them saying that Mr. Jiang was ill and that they should go to the labor camp to see him, but they did not go. Three days later, the labor camp again called the family to go to see him. They went to the labor camp immediately, only to find that Mr. Jiang was already in a vegetative state. Nevertheless, the labor camp still kept Mr. Jiang in the labor camp for several days before he was sent to the Bei'an City Hospital. Mr. Jiang died in the hospital, and his body was cremated.
