Facts of the Persecution
1. The Brutality in Heizuizi Women's Forced Labor Camp in Changchun City
To the practitioners who refused to perform labor, wear prison uniforms or openly practiced Falun Gong exercises, Chief Tian of the forced labor camp ordered guards to tie them to the Death Bed. Some practitioners were unable to walk by themselves after being untied from the Death Bed. The guards force-fed practitioners who were on hunger strikes, and even used a special tool to pry open the practitioners' mouths, and left the tools in the practitioners' mouths for a long time. The practitioners were also injected with drugs.
In 2003, the First Team violently tortured practitioners who had been forced to yield but later returned to cultivation. The persecutors used electric batons to shock the sensitive parts of female practitioners' bodies, including their breasts and private parts. Many practitioners were unable to take the torture and were finally forced to give in again. In 2004, the authorities received documents from the Provincial Public Security Bureau to extend the terms for the determined practitioners, including Sun Xiaoqiu, Wang Yilin, and Chen Jinhui, etc. Chen Jinhui is short and thin. She had been tied to the Death Bed twice. Her weight dropped from 70 some-odd pounds to somewhere in the 60s. Guard Bi Mingming ordered doctor Guo to open Chen's mouth using a mouth-opener, which caused her horrible pain.

5. The Persecution of Practitioner Zhang Guangcai from Shahe City, Hebei Province
Mr. Zhang Guangcai, 44, is a practitioner from Shahe City, Hebei Province. He opened a dental clinic in Shahe City. Because he practices Falun Gong, he was sentenced to two years of forced labor in Handan Forced Labor Camp. On February 10, 2002, when torturing Zhang Guangcai, police officer Wang Xusheng kicked Zhang's left side. Zhang fell and remained on the ground. The pain made him unable to breathe. Several days later, his wound worsened. Another practitioner detained in the same cell went on a hunger strike to protest the ill treatment of Zhang. After a physical examination, Zhang was found to have two ribs broken from the kick. Zhang was later released from the labor camp.
On the afternoon of June 6, 2004, the police abducted Zhang's wife, Ms. Zhang Xingfang, from her home. Police officer Yu Shuping transferred Zhang Guangcai to Shahe City Pubic Security Bureau. There he was cuffed to the Iron Chair and deprived of sleep. To protest the persecution, he refused to eat. On June 14, Zhang was sent to Xingtai Brainwashing Center. The persecutors there deprived him of sleep, force-fed him, and beat and tortured him. Under this physical and mental torture, Zhang was at the edge of mental collapse. The persecutors took the chance to deceive him into agreeing to give up the practice of Falun Gong. When Zhang later realized that he gave up the practice against his will, he told the perpetrators that he was determined to continue practicing Falun Gong. For that, Qiu Youlin tortured him by force-feeding. Zhang was tortured until he became like a skeleton. At the same time, his wife was detained in Shahe City Detention Center for three months. Their son, who was to take a college entrance examination in a few days, was taken away by the police, and their house was ransacked. The family was later released.
On the afternoon of December 24, 2004, a group of persecutors broke into Zhang's clinic, abducted his wife, and sent Zhang Guangcai to Xingtai Brainwashing Center again. They cuffed him in a painful position known as "Carrying a Sword in the Back" and used electric batons to shock him. Zhang Guangcai's wrist was injured. He went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution, and he was later force-fed. After he was released, Zhang had difficulty in breathing, felt pain all over his body, and his left ribs were painful. He was later sent to a hospital for an exam that found his lung was seriously injured, and two of his ribs were broken again (his old wounds from the forced labor camp). Since then, Zhang's health has deteriorated. He is short of breath, coughing, unable to lie down on his back, and has difficulty sleeping. His wife is currently in Xingtai Brainwashing Center.
