Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Cheng Huixuan was 57 years old. She firmly cultivated Falun Dafa and was arrested by the police many times. She was abducted and sentenced to three years forced labour at the Wanjia Forced Labour Camp. After being tortured both mentally and physically, she died on March 21, 2005.
In January 2001, Ms. Chen Huixuan was arrested when doing Falun Dafa exercises and held in the Harbin City Second Detention Centre. She fortunately escaped.
At the beginning of 2002, she was arrested again when distributing leaflets exposing the persecution. She was held in many different detention centres, went on a hunger strike to protest, and was tortured with forced feeding, which damaged her oesophagus. She could not eat and had blood in her urine. She had no environment to study the Falun Dafa teachings or practise the exercises, and her diabetes reoccurred. Police had to let her family take her home. With a damaged oesophagus, she could not eat solid food for six months, was bedridden, and could not take care of herself. She recovered gradually after studying the teachings and doing the Falun Dafa exercises.
One day in 2002, Ms. Chen was cooking a meal at home when the police abducted her and took her to the substation, detained her, and had her sentenced to three years forced labour. She served her term at the Wanjia Labour Camp.
In the camp, Ms. Chen was tortured with the "big hang up" (1) and beatings, denied sleep, and forced to perform heavy labour for over ten hours daily. She was coerced to write the three statements (2), answer slanderous questionnaires, and go through brainwashing sessions. She endured enormous mental and physical torture. When her whole body was swollen and symptoms of severe diabetes appeared, she was released back home. Her condition continued to deteriorate, and she died at 5 a.m. on March 21, 2005.
Note:
(1) There are two forms in this torture: (1) With both hands cuffed behind the back and only toes touching the ground, one is hung by a rope that is tied to the metal window frames; (2) One hand of a practitioner is cuffed to one bunk bed and the other hand to another bed, and the two beds are pulled in the opposite directions. One feels extreme pain as the body is pulled. See illustration at http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2004/11/17/54624.html.
(2) "Three Statements": Practitioners are coerced under brainwashing and torture to write "Repentance Statement," "Guarantee Statement" or 'Dissociation Statement" as proof that they have given up their belief. In the statement, the practitioner is forced to admit remorse for practising Falun Gong, promise to give up Falun Gong, and never again associate with other practitioners or go to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong.
