One day, on the first floor corridor of the prison, I heard someone shout, "Falun Dafa is good! Teacher Li Hongzhi is good!" The voice then became muffled as the person's' mouth was covered up.

Later on, Mr. Zhang Changming was assigned to our cell for a 24 hour period. We then learned that it was his shouting we heard the other day. It happened when he was being dragged by the criminal inmate Wang Jiang into a solitary compartment, under orders by the policeman Liu Dian.

We also heard from Mr. Zhang Changming firsthand about the inhuman torture he had suffered in the solitary confinement. The vicious people used extremely brutal methods to tie him onto an iron chair(1), and inserted a wooden stick in his mouth. They then beat his chest, private parts and legs, etc. He said that it was unbearable for any human. This was only a small part of what he went through. The torture he suffered was too horrific to describe. Before he was sent to the solitary confinement he had stayed with us. He used to be quite hefty and mentally healthy. We noticed that Mr. Zhang Changming could only eat a little bit of liquid food. He could not talk clearly or walk alone, and he was severely underweight. The fellow practitioners in the same cell saw dozens of black scars on the arches of his feet. Mr. Zhang became mentally disoriented due to his torture and some times drank his own urine. We heard that the brutal policemen responsible for torturing him had taken him to the mental hospital for further persecution."" From that point, he was tortured so severely that even the policemen felt he should receive some treatment a medical hospital.

As far as we know, those who were involved in the torture of Mr. Zhang Changming in the solitary compartment include the criminal inmate Du Hongjun from Jiamusi City Chemical Factory of Heilongjinag Province, Policeman Liu Jiantao, Liu Dianmeng, the captain of the Sixth Unit Liu Hongguang, and others.


After his time in the solitary confinement, Mr. Zhang Changming was isolated in another cell and guarded by criminal inmates Zhang Guanghai, Shi Kewei, and others where he was subjected to more torture.

One day we heard Liu Hongguang and Zhang Zhenhua ordering others to drag Mr. Zhang Changming into the solitary confinement compartment. We heard Mr. Zhang shouting, "Help!" Later on we learned that Mr. Zhang had been tortured to death during his second time in the solitary confinement compartment. We cannot imagine the horrors that went on inside.

The people who were directly involved in the torture and death of Mr. Zhang Changming include Yang Chunming, Yang Baibing, criminal inmate Liang Jingui and others. According to Liang Jingui, when he saw Mr. Zhang Changmin in the morning, his body was already stiff and his body was horribly misshapen.

Yang Chunming is still getting away with murder. He is in charge of the sixth unit of the notoriously brutal Jiamusi City Forced Labor Camp in Helongjiang Province and continues to persecute Falun Gong practitioners.
