Harbin Prison Secretly Transfers Practitioners to Other Prisons in Order to Conceal a Torture Death

On July 1, 2004, the Harbin Prison suddenly and secretly transferred more than seventy Falun Gong practitioners to prisons in other cities of Daqing, Tailai, and Mudanjiang. Thirty of the practitioners were transferred to Daqing City Prison. According to our findings, in April this year Harbin City Prison intensified the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners to achieve their goal of forcing Falun Gong practitioners to give up their belief.

During this period, Wang Dayuan, a Falun Dafa practitioner who was a young scientist and lecturer in Harbin Industry University, was tortured to death on April 5.

In order to conceal the truth and evade the responsibility for the crime, the Harbin Prison secretly transferred the practitioners to other prisons. The following is the story as told by one of the practitioners transferred from Harbin Prison to Daqing Prison:

"Recently, I was secretly transferred from Harbin Prison to Daqing Prison along with thirty other Dafa practitioners.

"After I was put into a "Training Centre" in Harbin Prison, they appointed four prisoners to take charge of me and forbade me to talk with anybody. I denied that I was guilty of any crime and refused to wear the identification card, so they confined me in a solitary cell. Every day they only gave me two and a half bowls of rice water to eat. In the cold winter, they stripped me and didn't give me a bedcover. They persecuted me like that for twenty-one days. After I was sent to Prison Section Ten, under the orders of the directors of the section, Yang Ji, Wu Jun, and Xia Zhiwei, policemen Liu Chunhai, Li Zhilong, and Zhang Liang, and prisoners Chen Lihui, Bai Jinglong, Suo Wenjie, Fu Bin, Ren Jiachen, Zhang Jialong, Fu Mao, Li Shuping, and others beat me and brutally tortured me. During the daytime they forced me to do heavy labour the whole day and at night they only let me sleep for one or two hours. This abuse lasted for three months. During that time, they often beat me up in the break room, which resulted in severe internal injuries to my chest. I had a light fever around the Spring Festival in 2003, which lasted for three months. They threatened me, "If we cannot transform you, we will cremate you." They also said, "The government already informed us that every method of persecution is acceptable as long as you are alive"

"On April 4 of this year, in order to achieve the goal of a hundred percent transformation rate [of practitioners giving up Falun Gong], the prison began to persecute Dafa practitioners on a large scale. Yang Ji, Xia Zhiwei, and Liu Chunhai, the three policemen, and prisoners Ren Jiachen, Suo Wenjie, Zhang Jialong, Fu Mao, Li Shuping, and others formed a so-called "team to assault the steadfast" in Prison Section Ten. They plotted to use excruciatingly painful tortures to force me give up cultivation. I firmly rejected their threats, but they didn't leave me alone. At 9:00 o'clock in the evening, in room 502 they inflicted a lot of painful torture on me: they used a plastic bag to cover my head, force-fed mustard oil into my stomach, forced my leg and arm joints to bend backwards, kicked me violently in my ribs, and hit my head against the concrete floor. They tortured me to the point that my gallbladder shifted to the wrong place, my ribs on both sides were bruised, my knee and elbow joints were severely sprained, and I couldn't take care of myself. At the same time, Wang Dayuan, a Dafa practitioner in Prison Section Two, who was also a young scientist and lecturer in Harbin Industry University, was beaten to death. In order to conceal the truth, the authorities secretly transferred all of us to different prisons on July 1. They attempted to escape their responsibility for the crime and to escape investigation by international human rights organizations and inquiries by people in this country."
