2. [Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province] Facts of the Persecution of Practitioners at Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp in October 2004

At noon on October 10, 2004, a meeting was held in the Brigade 4 of the Changlinzi Forced Labor Camp. During the meeting, officials declared, "The labor camp is going to enforce its rules." They forced practitioners to read the jail rules, threatening that they would be tortured in the water room if they did not.

Some practitioners were tortured until their bodies were full of injuries. Practitioners tortured include: Yao Shiguo, An Tongxiu, Gao Jizhu, Chang Yongfu, Wang Shiwei, Li Chunlin, Kou Fangqi, Sun Rong, and He Qinghui. Among them, He Qinghui was beaten up until he passed out and was sent to a hospital. He is still in a coma. Others were tortured until they were unable to walk.

The guards do not allow practitioners to say anything on visiting day. Family members are forced to leave their items and then depart immediately. Mr. Xu Zhenfeng's term was completed over ten days ago, but he is still being detained. It's also been learned that He Qinghui's brain was badly injured from the beating.

Those who beat practitioners are: Yang Wei, Chen Shangang, Liu Ye, Guo Lei, Zhou Xutao, Zhong Xiaotao, Pang Haifeng, Zhang Hongcai, He Wei, Wu Zuowei, and Li Changhong.

The administration office pretended to investigate those who beat the practitioners, but they actually did nothing. The resident procurator at the labor camp inquired about the issue but also did nothing.

Figure 1 Su-Qing-Bei-Jian

"Su-Qing-Bei-Jian" is a torture method as shown in above drawing. Literally, this word means "Su-Qing (an ancient swordsman) puts his sword on the back." A person's hands are handcuffed behind the back with one hand crossed over a shoulder. It causes extreme pain. However, guards in the Chongqing Women's Forced Labor Camp think it's not cruel enough. They have used the following modifications to make it even more painful for the detained women Falun Gong practitioners.

  1. Officers tie a towel to the handcuffs, pull the practitioners up with the towel, and hang them on the upper level of the handrail on a bunk bed. It causes extreme pain, difficulty in breathing, and fainting.
  2. Officers push the practitioner facedown onto a small stool to add pain and make it very hard for them to breathe.

Police officers involved are Yu Qinghua (Squadron Commander) and Chen Liqiong (Assistant Squadron Commander).

6. [Laixi City, Shandong Province] Ms. Wang Ping Sent to a Forced Labor Camp

The four were arrested by eight police officers led by deputy director Geng Bingsheng and Li Yanxin of the Wubei Police Station. Ms. Wang's home was also illegally searched. Ding Yonghong and Wang Dexiang were released one day later. However, police officers forced Wang Dexiang to have his picture taken sitting in front of his TV, took fingerprints, and made him write guarantees to renounce Falun Gong.
