Since Changchun practitioners successfully clarified the truth of Falun Dafa through a cable television broadcast on March 5, a new round of persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners was launched with all the policemen, "610 Office" members and people in charge of the neighborhoods and community involved.
The No.1 Division of the Changchun Police Department has conducted the most brutal torture of Falun Dafa practitioners in an apartment they secretly arranged on a hill near Jingyuetan. The following are some of the persecution cases that have occurred.
In mid-March, Falun Dafa practitioner Wang Yuhuan went to visit a fellow practitioner and was abducted by a policeman who had been waiting there. She was first sent to the No.1 Division, and then escorted blindfolded to the secret apartment on the hill near Jingyuetan. They made her sit on the "tiger bench" (see http://www.geocities.com/transrefs/Torture-tr.html ), and shocked her with electric batons. Then, with both her arms tied to her body, two policemen carried her and slammed her against a tree. At the time, she felt as if her internal organs had been broken into pieces. After suffering severe injuries from this, she was sent to the Shuangyang Detention Center, where she slept on a standing board. Her chest was hurt so badly after being slammed against the tree that two big swellings appeared on her skin and she ran a high fever for many days. Later on, she was illegally sentenced to the Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp. Falun Dafa practitioner Yang Yonglan suffered the same torture.
In mid-March, Falun Dafa practitioner Yang Shumin was brought to the hill near Jingyuetan and tortured secretly after being abducted by the No.1 Division. They made her sit on the "tiger bench." They pressed her to the ground with her arms tied and stepped on her face, head, chest and back. The rope cut deeply into the flesh below her shoulder blades. The bruises remained for many days and her arms and hands could not move normally. Currently, she is still being detained in the Shuangyang Detention Center, and her original sentence has since been extended.
In Mid-March, Falun Dafa practitioner Zhao Jian was violently abducted after several policemen threw her to the ground on the street. Since she didn't cooperate with the evil ones, over a dozen male policemen were exhausted before they could tie her up. The No.1 Division sent her to the secret apartment on the hill and tortured her by various means---making her sit on the "tiger bench", shocking her with electric batons, inserting her fingers into bullet shell casings and rubbing them violently back and forth causing extreme pain and laceration and holding burning cigarettes under her nose. Later on, she was illegally detained in the Shuangyang Detention Center. The original sentence has since been extended.
In mid-March, Changchun Falun Dafa practitioner Liu Xiue was abducted on the street. The Luyuan Police Department Branch found her street address by tracking her telephone. In order to avoid being persecuted, the practitioner jumped out of a window on the 2nd floor of the police department branch. At the time, two policemen jumped from the window as well and captured her. In the Luyuan Police Department Branch, Liu Xiue was forced to sit on the "tiger bench" for five days and nights. Later, she was illegally detained in the Shuangyang Detention Center, and her original sentence has since been extended.
In mid-March, Changchun Falun Dafa practitioner Wang Lili was abducted in Nong'an by officers from the local police station. The police officers beat her up brutally for five days. Consequently, she was badly injured, which caused her to develop uremia. The police carried her to the hospital. In all, nearly 10,000 Yuan (equivalent to 20 months income of an average Chinese worker---by translator) of medical expenses were imposed on Wang Lili. When she recovered slightly, she was sent to the Shuangyang Detention Center.
In mid-April, the Zhengyang Police Substation abducted Falun Dafa practitioner Wang Shouhui and sent her to the No.1 Division. She was blindfolded and taken to the torture room on the hill near Jingyuetan, where she was made to sit on the "tiger bench" for two days. The police shocked her breasts, and the inside of her thighs close to her genitals with electric stun batons. Then they smashed her face, head and breasts until she vomited up nearly a litre of blood. The left side of her face was fractured, and her left eye was injured and she was unable to see clearly. She was then sent to the Shuangyang Detention Center, where her lungs became infected. The practitioner went on a hunger strike after her request to bring a lawsuit against the police was rejected. She was released when her life was endangered by the hunger strike.
In late April, Tonghua Falun Dafa practitioner Zhang Chunsheng was abducted and taken blindfolded to the secret torture room. He was forced to sit on the "tiger bench" for five days and nights. Then, hanging him from a leather belt, the police beat him with leather whips until his face and body were badly wounded. They later sent him to the Shuangyang Detention Center.
In November 2001, Nong'an Falun Dafa practitioner Zhou Yongping was abducted on her way to Changchun City from Jilin City. The No.1 Division took her to the secret apartment on the hill. After torturing her with various instruments, they placed her in the cold open air and poured water over her body. Every now and again, they touched her to see if she were frozen. Their means were extremely vicious and dirty. After the torture, she was illegally detained for over three months in the Shuangyang Detention Center before she was sent to the Heizuizi Female Forced Labor Camp.
Presently, Liu Zhe, Zhao Guifeng, Zhang Yufeng, Zhang Shuqin, Ma Yaci, Zhao Jian, Zhou Runjun, Wang Liping, Zhang Shuhong, Liu Yaqian, and Liu Gequn etc. are being illegally detained in the Shuangyang Detention Center.
