Mr. Zhang Jieping, 56, Dies as a Result of Persecution at the Baihelin Detention Centre in Chongqing City

Dafa disciple Mr. Zhang Jieping of Shapingba District, Chongqing City died from lung failure at about 6:00 a.m. on September 5th 2006, after being tortured for over four months by policemen at the Baihelin Detention Centre in Shapingba District.

Mr. Zhang Jieping, 56, was a retired worker from Jialing Plant in Shapingba District, Chongqing City. During 2000, he was sent to a brainwashing centre twice for persecution by the Public Security Sub-Bureau housed at his employer, the Jialing Corporation. The first time, he spent a week at the brainwashing centre, and the second time he was kept there for over 100 days. His home was illegally searched as well.

In late September 2001, policemen from the Public Security Sub-Bureau arrested him when he was talking about the persecution of Falun Gong to people in the plant, and later they illegally searched his home. He was sentenced to a two-year forced labour term and was kept at the Xishanping Forced Labour Camp in Chongqing City. After he returned home from the camp, policemen from the Jialing Plant Public Security Sub-Bureau of the Zhanjiaxi Police Station and Neighbourhood Committee officials kept harassing him by coming to his home and calling him, causing great pressure and harm to him and his family.

On April 15th 2006, Mr. Zhang Jieping was arrested by policeman Deng Bin of Jingkou Town when Zhang was explaining the facts about Falun Gong to a group of migrant workers at a construction site at Yuanzuqiao, Jingkou Town. He was sent to the Baihelin Detention Centre of Shapingba District Public Security Sub-Bureau of Chongqing City.

On the morning of August 29th, Mr. Zhang's son was called into the detention centre and saw his father at the facility clinic. A nearly unrecognisable Zhang Jieping, all skin and bones, was unable to speak and needed constant infusions. Blood was visible in his urine led out through a tube. On the same day, while wearing shackles around his ankles, he was first sent to the No.1 People's Hospital in Shapingba District for emergency treatment and then transferred to Shapingba District Hospital. Zhang died on the morning of September 5th.
