  • Mr. Wang Jianguo, 30, Persecuted to Death in the 1st Detention Center of Jilin City

    Falun Gong practitioners Mr. Wang Jianguo and his wife Ms. Zhao Qiumei of Jilin City were arrested by a group of policemen headed by Tan Xinqiang from Nanjing police station on March 2, 2006. Within one month and nine days, Mr. Wang Jianguo, who was only around 30 years old, was persecuted to death at the 1st Detention Center of Jilin City. His body is at the autopsy center of Jilin City police station. Before his death, his wife was arrested again and taken to the 5th Group of Changchun City's Heizuizi Female Forced Labor Camp, where she is being persecuted.

    In November 2000, Wang Jianguo was sentenced to two years of forced labor by Huanxiling Reeducation Center of Jilin city. His wife Zhao Qiumei was detained for two years at Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp in December 2001.


    Wang Jianguo

    Wang Jianguo and his wife Zhao Qiumei

    On March 2, 2006, staff from the Nanjing local police station of the Chuanying area illegally confiscated Mr. Wang Jianguo's family's property and arrested Wang Jianguo and his wife Zhao Qiumei. They also stole personal belongings worth more than 30,000 Yuan. The police also took all the cash (about 3,200 Yuan) the couple had saved. After the Nanjing local police station arrested Wang Jianguo, they tried to extort a confession through torture, injuring his face and arms severely.

    On March 10 at the noon, staff from Hadawan local police station and Jilin NationalSecurity Bureau sent three police cars to Wang Jianguo's father's house to arrest his father, Mr. Wang Shusen, because they were afraid that his father would appeal for help. They broke into his house and confiscated the family's property. Because of the repeated and continuous harassment by the local police and staff from the Jilin National Security Bureau, Wang Jianguo's parents left their home to avoid further persecution.

    On March 31 Ms. Zhao Qiumei was taken by the Nanjing local police station to Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp to serve one year of forced labor. At this time, she is illegally detained at the 5th Group. Mr. Wang Jianguo was still illegally imprisoned in the 1st Detention Center in Jilin City.

    In the morning of April 11, the 1st Detention Center of Jilin city called Mr. Wang Jianguo's family members and said, "Wang Jianguo was sent to the 2nd hospital for emergency procedures yesterday. The doctors were unable to resuscitate him. He died of respiratory failure..." At around noon his family members arrived at the detention center. Deputy Chief of the Detention Center Cong Maohua said that they once forced fed Wang Jianguo, but he died of respiratory failure. He also said that Wang Jianguo had other severe health problems and could not breathe well. They also had found that he had lung problems, and so on.

    Wang Jianguo was actually very healthy before being arrested. He once practiced martial arts and never had any health problems. Why did he suddenly die of respiratory failure at the detention center during forced feeding? That is a clear indication that the force-feeding at the Detention Center is performed brutally and not for humanitarian reasons or to rescue his life. It is in reality a torture method to retaliate against the peaceful protesters. The feeding tube was most likely mistakenly put into the trachea, which caused the food to enter the trachea. This led to the lung infection and inability to breathe normally, causing death.

    The 222nd Hospital of Jilin City wrote an Emergency Medical Treatment Medical Record of Wang Jianguo's time before his death.

    After Wang Jianguo died, he was taken to the 222nd hospital of Jilin city.

    The emergency medical treatment record, completed by the doctor on call, states:

    Illustrations of Torture Devices and Methods in Dalian City Detention Centers and Camps

    Yaojia Detention Center in Dalian City


    Floor Ring

    The victim is handcuffed and wears a metal ring around his neck; his feet are shackled, normally used only on death-row prisoners. Then the handcuffs, the shackles, and the metal ring are all chained together. The victim has to lean forward. The chain that connects the handcuffs to the shackles is locked. The floor ring is fixed to a metal slab in front of the feet and the metal slab is affixed to a big bed for inmates.

    If practitioners shout, "Falun Dafa is good!" the evildoers gag them with towels and beat them with plastic slippers. The windows and doors are tightly closed because they are afraid visitors might hear what is going on.


    Force-feeding

    The police torture practitioners and also compel other inmates to torture them. The police step on and push down hard on practitioners' chests. They beat practitioners with leather whips, leather belts, and slippers. They take away practitioners' cotton quilts. Some practitioners had to sleep for nine days without cotton quilts, clad only in a shirt, while other inmates had several cotton quilts.

    Most practitioners are handcuffed and shackled. They are tied in a spread-eagle position in bed for force-feeding, with handcuffs and shackles chained together. Some practitioners are subjected to this for as long as six months.


    Spread-eagle position


    Handcuffed and shackled

    Practitioners are tied in bed in a spread-eagle position with handcuffs and shackles that are chained together. There is a big lock on the stomach. The chains are tied to a peg.


    Stripping Practitioners of Their Clothes

    A practitioner found a pen when cleaning up the detention center. He used the pen to write "Falun Dafa is good!" "Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance are good!" on his uniform. This figure illustrates how the police stripped off the practitioner's clothes.

    Dalian City Forced Labor Camp


    The Stretching Bed

    Practitioners are tied to an empty metal bed with three wooden slats, barely four-inches wide. The boards have many protruding spikes on them that poke into the skin, causing excruciating pain. The top board is for supporting the shoulders and head, but most of the head is still unsupported, which makes practitioners suffer.

    Practitioners are handcuffed and shackled. Arms and legs are tightly tied to triangle metal frames by yellow tape. They use this torture method to make practitioners give up their belief.

    The ankles are right in contact with the metal frames. It hurts a great deal. Being tied to the bed this way for a long time causes severe edema in the arms and legs. They also tape practitioners' mouths shut to prevent them from shouting.

    In order to force practitioners to give up their belief, they also pour dirty water on practitioners. They force-feed practitioners with strong vinegar, garlic juice, and chopped garlic. They also put bugs on practitioners. For example, they have put big spiders into practitioners' mouths and poured urine into practitioners' mouths.


    Being Locked in a Small Cage

    The small cage is made of steel. Practitioners are made to wear a wrestling helmet and are handcuffed. They are forced to stand barefoot in the small cage for over 20 hours every day. Some practitioners were compelled to stand for five days. Their feet were severely swollen. They torture some practitioners with several methods over and over to force them to give up their belief.


    Being tied outside of a Small Cage


    Being Tied outside of a Small Cage

    Falun Gong practitioners are handcuffed and shackled. They are completely wrapped in plastic including the head, leaving only the eyes and nose exposed. Then a cotton hat is added to cover the head tightly. The legs below the knees are encircled with ropes tied very tightly to the cage from the back, which hurts.

    The space in the back is already minuscule. A wooden board with lots of spikes on it is then added, creating a situation in which one can only stand on one's toes in front of the board. After one night of being wrapped in plastic and wearing a hat, handcuffs, and shackles, one's feet and legs become severely swollen.


    Flying the Airplane

    One person sits on a practitioner's shoulders and pulls the practitioner's hair hard. Another evildoing person pokes toothpicks into the practitioners' fingernail beds. The third person slaps the practitioner's face with plastic slippers.

    Even if the practitioners' family members deposit money in the practitioners' accounts, the practitioners are forbidden to use the money while they are confined in small cells.


    Bending Down at a 90-Degree Angle

    If practitioners don't give up on their belief they are confined to small cells with another inmate. They are handcuffed together. The inmate is allowed to sleep. The practitioner is not. The practitioner can only bend down at a 90-degree angle.

    Dabei Women's Prison in Shenyang City


    Confined to Small Cells

    Four inmates are locked up with one practitioner. The other inmates must monitor the practitioner. There is a toilet area with a board to cover one's back. In the summer, practitioners are forced to wear a winter coat. To prevent them from taking off the coat, the front of the coat is sewn together so tightly that no one can tear it open with her bare hands. Because practitioners refuse to wear the criminal inmates' tags, the police sew numerous tags onto practitioner's coats. If a practitioner moves his or her hands, all the inmates come up and beat the practitioner. Some inmates step on the practitioners' ankles. Some practitioners had to wear a winter coat for six nights and days in the summer and got no sleep.

    In the Dabei Women's Prison small cells, they used mostly murderers to monitor the practitioners and torture them. In 2002, prison director Bai himself led the murderers and guards to torture practitioners.


    Feet Being Stepped on; Sitting on Small Stools

    They tie practitioners using ropes around their bodies and hands. One inmate is in the front and pulls the practitioner's hair down as hard as she can; another inmate continuously stomps on the practitioner's feet. Another inmate behind the practitioner grabs the practitioner's hands tightly so that she can't move. They also gag practitioners with towels so they can't shout, "Falun Dafa is good."


    Death Bed Illustration


    The Death Bed

    They use murderers to monitor practitioners. They tie practitioners' hands and feet to a metal bed. A board is laid across the bed, with only a hole in the board for relieving oneself. When practitioners are on a hunger strike, they force-feed them corn mush with other unknown ingredients that cause vomiting and diarrhea. The murderers act as "doctors." They give toxic injections to practitioners for six days and nights. They even charge for these injections that make practitioners freezing cold. They also draw blood and poke very deeply, all the way to the bone. Because of such torture, some practitioners' electrocardiograms no longer registered a heartbeat. Some guards and inmates had tears in their eyes witnessing this. Certain practitioners were tied to the Death Bed for 20 days; some even for several months.


    Ankles Being Stepped on

    The guards force some inmates to torture practitioners. Two inmates step on a practitioner's ankles at the same time and poke the practitioner all over her body using toothpicks. When they get tired, another two inmates will switch with them to continue the torture.

    Some practitioners were not given water for three days.

    An electronic eye monitors the small cell. The four inmates watch each practitioner so as to forbid the practitioner from ever sleeping. If the practitioner does fall asleep, every inmate is fined over 100 yuan every time it happens. To avoid the fines, the inmates try hard to torture practitioners. A few practitioners in some small cells were tortured to death. Some practitioners were let out of the small cells after 15 days of torture. Certain practitioners have been in and out of small cells several times.


    Torturing Practitioners Who Clarify the Truth

    When practitioners try to clarify the truth, they dispatch six people to carry the practitioners, but they can't seem to pick the practitioners up. This happens often. They also gag practitioners with towels.

    Masanjia Forced Labor Camp


    Tying Tightly Using Towels; Pinching

    When some practitioners were tortured to the brink of death, several people used a big piece of fabric to drag the practitioner. A policewoman used her thumb to hold up a practitioner's chin and another hand to pinch the practitioner's neck. The prison doctor gags the practitioner with a towel to prevent him from clarifying the truth. They send practitioners who clarify truth to small cells. Some practitioners were healthy before they were sent to small cells but when they came out, their confinement under this torture had made them comatose.


    Brutal Force-feeding

    When practitioners go on a hunger strike, seven or eight guards and prison doctors work together to torture practitioners. They force-feed them on the floor. Two guards pull the victim's hands aside and step on them and twist them. One guard steps really hard on a practitioner's chest and stomach. Another guard sits on a practitioner's legs. Other guards hold electric batons. The prison doctor force-feeds the practitioner without paying attention to the practitioner's ability to breathe. The practitioner ends up having corn mush all over the head and face. The corn mush has other unknown substances mixed in.

    The guards put all the force-feeding tools in the dirty toilet, including the feeding tube, which are soaked in tap water in a lunch box.

    Division One of the Dalian City Police Department


    Photographing a practitioner against his will

    Agents from Division One of the Dalian City Police Department came to the Yaojia Detention Center to interrogate a practitioner. The practitioner refused to answer their questions. In order to take a picture of the practitioner, several plainclothes officers exchanged eye contact; then four or five of them started beating the practitioner and pushing him against the wall. Some pulled his hair, some covered his mouth, some kicked his legs, and some held his hands . They took this opportunity to take the practitioner's photograph.


    Falun Gong Practitioner Yin Wenjun and Her Non-Practitioner Husband Brutally Tortured by Police in Kaiyuan City, Liaoning Province

    On the evening of October 26, 2005, Falun Gong practitioner Yin Wenjuan from Kaiyuan City, Liaoning Province was arrested by officers from the Hongqi Police Station in Qinghe District. Her non-practitioner husband Li Yuanjun was also taken away together with her. After a period of detention, Yin Wenjuan was released and she is currently remaining homeless to avoid further persecution. Her husband was tortured to the point where he cannot take care of himself. The Hongqi Police Station police still refuses to return the couple's personal belongings, IDs and confiscated money.

    On the night of the arrest, Hongqi Police Station and Qinghe District Police Department National Security Group together interrogated Yin Wenjuan. Police chief Lan Wen shocked her with high voltage electric batons. Failing to get anything from her, the police sent her to Kaiyuan Detention Center on the afternoon of the next day.

    Yin Wenjun started a hunger strike on October 28 to resist the persecution, but she was force fed and chained to the bed. On November 8, the police took her back to the Qinghe Hospital surgical department, where National Security Group captain Li Meng and Hongqi Police Station instructor Liu Fang took charge of persecuting her. Because she clarified the truth to doctors and nurses in the hospital, a doctor surnamed Zhou instructed a nurse to inject her with some unknown substance, causing her to sleep for an entire day. Later she was force-fed many times. Her hands and feet were chained to the bed, and she had to use a catheter for twenty days. No matter what pressure was placed on her, she never yielded to the evil. The surgical department director did not want to take any responsibility should anything happen to Yin, so he urged the police to transfer Yin to the internal medicine department. Twenty days later, the police took Yin to the Hongqi Police Station. On December 1, she was transferred to Qinghe Second Hospital. During her detention there, she once required emergency rescue because of the damage caused by force feeding.

    Yin Wenjun firmly rejected the illegal arrest, trial and sentence imposed on her. The police later sentenced her to imprisonment on parole. But she refused to sign the verdict. In the end, the police had her family take her home after she was on hunger strike for 81 days and was on the verge of death. At present, Yin is homeless to avoid further persecution.

    Yin Wenjun's husband Li Yuanjun was arrested together with her and was also brutally tortured by the police. They used 7-8 electric batons simultaneously to shock him. They even stuck the batons into his mouth. As a result, Li's whole body was bruised. His hair was scorched, mouth swollen, face deformed, hands numb, and one leg limp. Even so, the police continuously tortured him. In the next several weeks, they kept beating him every time they interrogated him. Since they could not find any evidence against him, the police had to announce that he is not guilty and let him go home. The inhumane torture has caused severe damage to Li. He cannot take care of himself, he developed a heart problem, and he cannot use one of his legs. He had operations on his hands, but to this day they are still numb. He also has headaches. The police still refuse to return his confiscated personal belongings and money.


    Suzhou Prison Guards Use Boiling Water to Burn and Cripple Hu WenKui

    In January 2005, the staff of the First Jail Area of the Suzhou Prison in Anhui Province brutally persecuted Mr. Hu WenKui, a Falun Gong practitioner. He had burns on his body and on his feet. He is now permanently disabled.

    From 6:00 p.m. January 5, 2005 to 4:00 p.m. on January 6, 2005, the prison warden, Lu Yang, of the First Jail Area Propaganda Room, and group supervisor Yu Weizhou, had the windows opened widely in 10ºC below zero (14ºF) weather, and had the electric fan turned on.

    They tortured Mr. Hu Wenkui by kicking and punching him, and striking him with their elbows. They tied one of his hands to a window and tied his other hand to a rope. They then had several people pull on the rope, causing his body to be hung in the air. They struck him in the chest and on the back. They had several prisoners push him against a wall. They also sat on him. Several others pulled his legs apart as far as they could and punched his genitals. They did this repeatedly. Thus, Mr. Hu Wenkui was not able to move his legs or walk for several months. They also shocked his genitals and other places with an electric baton for more than thirty minutes. His body was covered with burns and blisters.

    Lu Yang stomped on Mr. Hu Wenkui's feet over and over, causing swelling so severe that he could not fit in his shoes. During this torture, Mr. Hu fainted three times. They then used hot-water bags filled with boiling water to burn his left leg, causing deep, third degree burns, and the connective tissue around his bones died from the heat. His left leg is crippled. On his right leg, they gave him second-degree burns and did severe damage to the blood vessels. He has not recovered from this torture after over a year.

    3. [Heishan County, Liaoning Province] Homeless Falun Gong Practitioner Ms. Zhang Yingdong Arrested by Heishan County Police

    Ms. Zhang Yingdong lived away from home to avoid being persecuted by the Heishan County Police. The police searched for her so they could arrest her. They harassed many Falun Gong practitioners and their families in the process.

    On February 9, 2006, staff from the detention center at the Heishan County Police Station took Zhang Yingdong to the Shenyang Prison, despite the fact that Ms. Zhang had not eaten for two months and was at the brink of death. She could not get out of the police van by herself. Two extremely violent and vicious guards, Yao Haitao and Jin Xianxiang, dragged Ms. Zhang out of the van and almost one thousand meters to the prison.

    Ms. Zhang suddenly experienced heart disease symptoms and was on the verge of death. The prison refused to take her. The perpetrators took Zhang Yingdong back to Heishan County, and tortured her with brutal force-feeding while handcuffing her hands behind her back.

    On February 10, the Heishan County Detention Center was afraid to take responsibility should Ms. Zhang die inside the detention center. On February 13, the court approved home detention.

Sometimes, Mr. Wang's heartbeat reached 128 per minute. At its worst, he would faint. However, Sipingshi Prison refused to negotiate with Wang Hongge's family for medical parole, stating that his condition was not serious enough.
