    Mr. Zhao Fei Paralyzed From Being Tortured in Masanjia Forced Labor Camp

    Mr. Zhao Fei, a 53 year-old Falun Gong practitioner, lives in Jinzhou District, Dalian City, Liaoning Province. At the end of July 2007, the officers of the Developing Zone 610 Office took him into custody. He was detained in the Zone Detention Center. After about two weeks, he was transferred to the Drug Rehabilitation Center in Dalian City. While he was detained, Mr. Zhao clarified the truth about Falun Gong, resisted the persecution, refused to sign his name, and exclaimed "Falun Dafa is good." The police sentenced him to forced labor without notifying his family.

    On September 24, Mr. Zhao was taken to the 8th Group of the 2nd Branch of Masanjia Forced Labor Camp. He refused to cooperate. In the canteen, he shouted "Falun Dafa is good!" Male director Gao locked Mr. Zhao in a small cell and tormented him. He bound Mr. Zhao to an iron chair for more than 15 days. Moreover, the guards hit him with an electric baton and beat him violently. As a result, both of Mr. Zhao's legs became desensitized and paralyzed. When he was in the canteen, the guards often connived and incited criminal inmates to drag Mr. Zhao around. After being dragged down the stairs and over the pebbled ground, his legs and feet began to bleed.

    Once he was confined and tortured on the iron chair for one week straight. The guards constantly shocked him with electric batons. The cruel treatment finally made him faint. He was taken to the Affiliated Hospital of the Shenyang Medical College, where he was diagnosed with regeneration obstructing anemia. On November 17, his family entrusted a person to bring him home from the hospital.

    Ms. He Chunyan, Mr. Zhao's wife, was once illegally detained. She developed boils all over her entire body and went into a trance-like state due to the persecution. At present, she is still unable to care for herself.
