(Clearwisdom.net) From January 27 to February 11, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners illegally detained in Daqing Prison in Heilongjiang Province were on hunger strike for 17 days. Currently, practitioners Zhang Zhi, Guan Zhaoqi, Wang Yudong, Li Ronghong, Zhao Yuan, Zhang Xingye and Pu Fanwei are unable to get out of bed, and they are very weak. Among them, Pu Fanwei is in a coma, and Zhang Zhi is in serious condition.
We urgently appeal to the international community and everyone with a sense of justice to support these illegally detained practitioners in Daqing Prison.
Practitioners are being inhumanely persecuted in Daqing Prison. Since July 1999, at least 46 practitioners have been persecuted to death there. Prison workers are still committing crimes upon crimes. Among these, the new prison director, Wang Yongxiang, who came to the prison in October of last year, is especially cruel and merciless. He personally directs the persecution of practitioners in the prison by guards and other inmates.
On January 26, 2006, Prison Director Wang Yongxiang publicly beat practitioners Mr. Jiang Derong, Mr. Jia Shenghui, Mr. Sun Jianbin, Mr. Wang Yudong, and Mr. Jin Sheng and locked them all in solitary confinement to torture them.
After learning of this ill treatment, other practitioners began a hunger strike on January 27 to protest. Director Wang Yongxiang instigated the prison hospital Chief Gao Qing and Deputy Chief Huang Zhiwei to force-feed these practitioners with concentrated salt solution once a day. He also ordered each ward to send practitioners to the prison hospital for forced intravenous injections.
On February 8, guards and inmates from the first ward sent practitioner Mr. Jin Sheng to the prison hospital. Deputy Chief of the hospital Huang Zhiwei ordered several inmates to strap Mr. Jin down in a bed and thrust a tube in his nose to force-feed him. He did not cooperate with the force-feeding and pointed out that this was just another form of persecution. The inmates brutally force-fed him. Due to the rough insertion of the feeding tube, Mr. Jin's nose was covered in blood and he coughed up blood until the inmates stopped in fear. Mr. Jin continued to try to persuade the perpetrators not to participate in the persecution. Director Huang not only did not listen to Mr. Jin but personally inserted the tubes even more aggressively. He also ordered the inmates to mix salt in the milk powder and fill his stomach with it.
According to internal information, the practitioners who are participating in the hunger strike include: Pu Fanwei, Jin Sheng, Wang Yudong, Zhang Zhi, Guan Zhaoqi, Zhang Zidong, Jiang Derong, Li Ronghong, Zhong Zhaoqin, Zou Guoyan, Wang Junfeng, Deng Qingshan, Yao Bin, Li Chao, Li Zhanbin, Zhai Zhibin, Zhao Yuan, and Zhang Xingye.
