Elderly Dafa Practitioner Subjected to Cruel Torture Until Death in Hehuakeng Forced Labour Camp

59 year old Mr Zhao Yingqi, was an employee of the Kailuan Area Fagezhuang Mine in Tangshan City, Hebei Province. Both his legs had been disabled due to accidents at work. He started to practise Falun Gong in 1994.

Near the end of October, Fagezhuang Ore's “610” Office illegally ransacked his home and illegally sentenced him to 3 years of forced labour. He was sent to Hehuakeng Forced Labour Camp in Tangshan City. On December 31, because he refused to be brainwashed and began a hunger strike to protest, he died due to torture he was subjected to while detained in the labour camp. Witnesses later disclosed that he had been cruelly beaten to death. Both the labour camp and his employer are currently trying to absolve themselves of any responsibility. Because of the dispute between the labour camp and his employer in terms of who is responsible for his death, his body remains in the People's Hospital and has not yet been released to be cremated.

Gu Laicun, the Director of Fagezhuang Ore's “610” Office and also the company's Party Secretary, is very malicious. He ordered all Falun Gong practitioners in that area to be put under surveillance and blocked the information of his persecuting Falun Gong practitioners from being exposed. Under his command, the ore company sent many of its employees to persecute Falun Gong practitioners in that area. They forbid practitioners from freely entering or leaving the area and privately detained anyone who would not listen to them. Those private detentions lasted anywhere from a month to a permanent sentence. After one male practitioner was forced to leave home, the director announced that, when they caught him, they would invent new methods of torture before beating him to death.
