 Zhang Jiarui's appeal to rescue his father |   Zhang Bin suffers inhuman persecution at Suihua Forced Labor Camp |
Mr. Zhang Bin, 38, was an employee of the Chemical Factory No. 3 (polypropylene), the main factory of the Daqing Petro-Chemical Industry. Before he became a practitioner, he smoked, drank and was depressed, given his unhealthy habits. He was extremely weak physically. In November 1997, his wife Cheng Qinglan divorced him, and custody of their one and a half year old son Zhang Jiarui was given to Zhang Bin.
In early 1998, Zhang Bin began to practice Falun Gong and experienced great physical and mental changes from living by the principles "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance." He gave up his unhealthy habits, attained physical and mental health, and considered others first with whatever he did or said. His son lived with him.
After the persecution of Falun Gong started in July 1999, Zhang Bin refused to renounce Falun Gong despite the pressure. He went to Beijing to appeal on behalf of Falun Gong. Staff from the local police station detained him at Longfeng Detention Center for nearly three months. During that time, the mother took care of the child.
At the end of 2000, while Zhang Bin was unlawfully held in detention, the Daqing Petroleum Chemical Industry forced him to end his work contract. They threatened that they would dismiss him otherwise. Zhang Bin's family acted as his agent for the termination of the contract. Cheng Qinglan, Zhang Jiarui's mother, had her work contract terminated in October 2000 due to health problems. When she heard that Zhang Bin's contract was also terminated, she fainted and still suffers from the effects the shock.
Zhang Bin was released in 2001, but he and his son no longer had any peace. The local police kept harassing them. Zhang Bin didn't open the door for them, so the police broke it down and forced Zhang Bin to become homeless. He and his 5-year-old son had to live a miserable life. During that time, the child was sometimes in childcare, sometimes at Zhang Bin's younger sister's home, and sometimes looked after by friends. Because Zhang Bin and his son could not live a normal life, when the child reached school age, Zhang kept him out of school another year. The child's aunt worried that his schoolwork would be affected. Therefore, she told the child's mother Cheng Qinglan, who took over the child rearing and enrolled him in school.
In December 2004, Zhang Bin, who was destitute at the time, visited a fellow practitioner's home. Daqing City and Honggang District criminal division police team arrested him. He was detained at Sa District Detention Center. In Sa District Detention Center, Zhang Bin went on an eight-week hunger strike to protest his illegal detention. He suffered brutal force-feeding, beatings, and was forced to sit on a metal chair for the entire 56 days. When he was close to death from the torture, he was transferred to Daqing Forced Labor Camp. Because he did not pass the health test, Daqing Forced Labor Camp refused to accept him. However, the evildoers of Daqing City 610 Office pressured Daqing Forced Labor Camp: "Whether you want him or not, you have to accept Zhang Bin." Therefore, Zhang Bin was confined at Daqing Forced Labor Camp for further persecution.
Zhang Bin was unable to walk and had to be carried into the camp. On March 15, 2005, Zhang Bin, Zhan Yinge and An Senbiao were transferred from Daqing Forced Labor Camp to Suihua Forced Labor Camp.
Suihua Forced Labor Camp is the center for persecuting Falun Gong practitioners in Heilongjiang Province. There is a special basement for persecuting practitioners. Zhang Bin and many practitioners from other areas were detained there. Suihua Forced Labor Camp cruelly tortures Dafa practitioners with electric batons, pour chili water into the eyes, and stuff hot chili powder into the anus. They brutally force-feed practitioners and force them to watch videos that defame Dafa. The police assault practitioners continuously for three to four days at a time. Every night after prisoners go to sleep, the guards take the practitioners from their cells and force them to watch defamatory videos. Daqing practitioner Zhan Yinge was burned with an electric baton. Zhang Bin was tortured. His hands and feet were burned from the electric shocks.
Zhang Jiarui is in his third year of primary school. His mother Cheng Qinglan said: "It has been such a long time since the child was under the loving care of his father. He is harassed by his classmates and teachers, and everywhere else. He has developed an inferiority complex. He is depressed and not doing well academically. This situation affects the child's physical and mental health. Because of the several years of persecution suffered by Zhang Bin, Zhang Jiarui has not had a steady home environment for a long time. He is scared and often cries."
Cheng Qinglan has developed heart disease, kidney stones, dizziness, low blood sugar and other illnesses. Also, she does not have a job. The school expenses are high. Cheng Qinglan is unable to take care of the child, given her present financial and physical conditions. She urges that Zhang Bin be released so the child can return to his father and get proper care.
We call on human rights organizations and the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong. We ask women and children rights groups, "Please help! Help rescue Zhang Bin, and help Cheng Qinglan and their 10-year-old son Zhang Jiarui. Please appeal for an immediate release of the unlawfully detained Zhang Bin and other Dafa practitioners."
