Huludao City Forced Labour Camp in Liaoning Province Responsible for the Deaths of Several Falun Gong Practitioners

The Huludao City Forced Labour Camp has brutally persecuted over one hundred Falun Gong practitioners for eight years. Several practitioners have died from the torture. In order to force practitioners to give up their belief in Falun Dafa, the camp's former head Wang Chunyuan, Yao Chuang, and former political commissar Wu Shushan had carried out large-scale attacks and torture on the practitioners several times. These methods of torture include beating practitioners, stepping on a practitioner' heads, and shocking the practitioner with seven or eight electric batons simultaneously. At least four practitioners were persecuted to death in the past several years. These practitioners are Mr. Chen Dewen, Mr. Wu Guoliang, Mr. Wang Zhehao, and Mr. Wang Yuemin.

Practitioner Mr. Chen Dewen was 57 years old and lived in Gejia Town, Suizhong County, Huludao City, Liaoning Province. He was tortured to death by guard Zhang Fusheng and other prison officials. They brutally beat him, shocked him with electric batons on the sensitive areas of his body (including the genitals), force-fed him with salt water, and used other methods of torture.

Thirty-five year old Mr. Wu Guoliang was a teacher at the Gangtun Town Middle School. During his imprisonment at the Huludao City Forced Labour Camp, Mr. Wu was frequently forced to go outside to do manual labour for eight hours at a time, which caused his physical condition to deteriorate rapidly. He was also forced to sit on a stool for long periods of time. One day in December, Mr. Wu was taken to a hospital when his life was in danger. The diagnosis from the hospital indicated that he had late stage tuberculosis, which was not treatable. In order to shirk the responsibility, the camp released Mr. Wu on bail for medical treatment. By that time, Mr. Wu was extremely thin and frail. He was taken home by his family members and passed away ten days later.

Practitioner Mr. Wang Zhehao lived in Dalian City, Liaoning Province. He had been brutally persecuted by the camp for long period of time. He was unable to urinate and was very ill. The camp was afraid of that Mr. Wang might die at the camp, so they released Mr. Wang. Me. Wang soon passed away at his home.

Practitioner Mr. Wang Yuemin lived in Fuxin City, Liaoning Province and contracted leukemia during the persecution at the labour camp. He was released by the camp when he was dying and later passed away at his home.

Practitioner Mr. Wang Hongting has been on a protest hunger strike in the labour camp for more than three months. The camp does not allow his family members to visit him. We are unable to determine if Mr. Wang is still alive, so we urgently appeal to people with a sense of justice to please pay attention to this matter.

Eighty-two officials' names from the Huludao City Forced Labour Camp have been listed and exposed on the "Perpetrators' Column" at Fawanghuihui.net (Chinese website that posts names and crimes of those involved in persecuting Falun Gong).
