Atrocities Against Falun Gong Practitioners in Anshan City

Practitioner Ms. Dai Yuan, 33 years old, was kidnapped when she went to pick up her daughter in September 2001. She was tortured with force-feeding, and her hands and legs were shackled with a short metal bar connecting the leg shackles and the hand shackles, so she could not straighten her back. She was having her menstrual period and blood was trickling down her legs. The police just ignored it. She was later sentenced to two years at the Anshan Forced Labour Camp.

Practitioner Liu Qingfeng, a 32 years old man, was kidnapped in August 2001, by Shannan Police Station, Anshan City. He was tortured while he was interrogated. One night, he was tied with ropes seven times [In this method of torture, the police tie up the practitioner with a thin rope, circle the rope around his neck, and tie his hands behind his back. Then the police use all the force they can to tighten the rope. The rope becomes tighter and tighter around the body of the practitioner, and makes it more and more difficult for him to breathe. The pain is so intense that practitioners sometimes lose control of their bladder. There are instances when the rope was tightened so much that the practitioner's arm was broken.] Later, he was sent to another detention centre. The police were angry that he encouraged other practitioners to be steadfast. He was sentenced to three years in the Anshan Forced Labour Camp, with the head of the camp Zhang Zhenyang directly involved in persecuting him.

Practitioner Ms. Gu Jun, 30, was kidnapped and sent to a detention centre in October 2001. After a few months there, she was sent to the brainwashing centre at Anshan Forced Labour Camp, where she went on a hunger strike and was released only when she was dying. Prior to this, she was arrested for going to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa and was injected with medications that affected her nervous system. She only recovered after she was released and stayed at home for an extended period of time.

Practitioner Mr Zhao Yonghua, was kidnapped by Anshan City Police and Youyan Police for remaining firm to Falun Dafa. The police subsequently tortured him. They lit a lighter and burned his moustache and his penis, then stripped him and threw him out in the cold winter to freeze him, treating him worse than an animal. He was later illegally sentenced to Anshan Forced Labour Camp.

Most forced labour camps use criminals to watch and monitor Falun Gong practitioners. The Anshan Forced Labour Camp is no exception. They instigate the criminal inmates to beat up, verbally abuse the practitioners and subject them to corporal punishment such as deprivation of sleep, not being allowed to move and forcing them to keep one posture during the entire day. The criminal inmates also torture practitioners with methods such as forcing them to sit on small stools and benches with sharp objects embedded in the seats.

List of Criminals Directed by the Police to Watch and Monitor Female Falun Gong Practitioners:

Han Bo, Liu Wenjun, Wang Suqing, Meng Lina, Shi Yingmei, Song Xiaohong, Min Liying, Tang Yumei. The cruelest ones are Han Bo, Wang Suqing and Shi Yingmei. Tang Yumei was transferred out of the forced labour camp for being kind to Falun Gong practitioners and sent back to the Ziqiang School, another place where criminals are held.
