Practitioner Jin Sheng from Daqing City Ruthlessly Tortured

Mr. Jin Sheng, from Daqing City, began practising Falun Dafa in May 2000. When the Jiang Zemin regime began its persecution of Falun Dafa, his faith in Falun Dafa never wavered. Near the end of 2000, he went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa, and was arrested for exposing the truth of the persecution. In prison, because he refused to cooperate with the evildoers, he was brutally tortured by the police from Beijing, Zhaozhou, and Daqing City.

Stripped naked, forced to stand barefoot in the snow, doused with cold water and beaten

Near the end of 2000, Mr. Jin Sheng went to Beijing to appeal and was arrested. At the police station, they stripped him naked, conducted a body search and pushed him into a prison cell, where they beat him. A prisoner then opened the door to let in the cold outside air while he was forced to stand on the concrete floor. Still naked, Mr. Jin shivered as the chilly northern wind blew at him. The prisoners would also beat him when he lost control of his bladder. Although he was tortured so inhumanely, he still refused to tell the police his name or address when they interrogated him that night. As a result, they removed his shoes and forced him to stand barefoot in the snow while they poured cold water over his entire body.

After they used wooden sticks to beat him, the police did not allow Mr. Jin to go to sleep. They also tried to coerce him to curse Dafa. When he refused to do so, they slapped him. He was interrogated 26 times altogether. After the police finally found out his address, they contacted the Daqing liaison office in Beijing.

Handcuffed to a bedpost for seven days in the Daqing liaison office in Beijing

The police transferred him to the Daqing liaison office in Beijing and handcuffed him to a stool. They body-searched him and confiscated 300 yuan (1). At the Daqing branch, Mr. Jin was handcuffed to a bedpost for seven days, except when he was allowed to eat. They cuffed his hands to the post at the head of a bed and his feet to the end of the bed. He had to use a pot when he needed to urinate. Later, he was again transferred to the Qinggang County police. Before he was taken to Qinggang, the police used two wooden sticks and tied them to his legs so he couldn't bend them. As a result, he could only walk with a limp. Also, both of his thumbs were tightly tied to his belt with a fine cord. He was detained at Qinggang for two months and released after his family paid a fine.

Brutally beaten and tortured by Sun Biao, Head of Xingshan Police Station, and prison guard Wang Zhong from Zhaozhou Detention Centre

On the evening of February 24th 2002, Mr. Jin and another practitioner, Liu Zhucai, were arrested after someone reported them to the police when they distributed leaflets exposing the persecution. Sun Biao, head of the Xingshan County Police Station, severely beat both of them and then sent them to the Zhaozhou Public Security Bureau. While he was being interrogated, Mr. Jin was beaten by a policeman, causing his face to swell up. Later, both practitioners were taken to a detention centre.

After prison guard Wang Zhong saw Mr. Jin doing the Falun Gong exercises, he ordered the prisoners to put shackles on Mr. Jin. He also said, "If you are a student of Li Hongzhi, you'll take off your trousers, lie on your stomach and let me whip you 30 times. If you don't utter a sound, I'll let you do the exercises." Mr. Jin agreed and lay on his stomach. After Wang finished beating him, he told the prisoners to take the shackles off. A few days later, Wang Zhong saw Mr. Jin doing the exercises again, and ordered prisoners to put shackles on him. He then forced Mr. Jin to walk in the passageway and say out loud that he was sentenced to five years of prison because he practised Falun Gong. After a while, Wang Zhong started to whip him. While whipping Mr. Jin, he said, "I'll peel your skin off and glue it on the wall." Mr. Jin was put in shackles for 15 days. Wang told the prisoners only to take off the shackles if Mr. Jin does not do the Falun Gong exercises. One day when Wang saw that Mr. Jin wasn't shackled, he asked the prisoners, "Who took the shackles off? Does he still do the exercises?" Mr. Jin told him that he still did the exercises. Wang became angry and beat him, ordering the prisoners to clamp his neck with a torture device.

<>Brutally beaten, burned with cigarette butts, sexually abused, and tortured at Daqing Prison

On August 6th 2000, Mr. Jin was sent to the Daqing Prison to join the Group Training Brigade. For refusing to memorise prison regulations, he was forced to stand every day while teams of four prisoners took turn watching him stand all night.

On September 4th Mr. Jin was moved to the seventh brigade. Several prisoners stripped him naked and poured water over him that evening. Prisoner Han Yang took him to the toilet and beat him until midnight. They didn't give him any food the following day. Prisoner Jiang Zhangyou used broken glass and a broken bottle to threaten him and forced him to read their slanderous books. If he refused, several prisoners would forcibly twist his arm. They also forced him to raise his arms, and if he lowered them, they'd burn him with lit cigarettes. Afterwards, his arms were covered with burn wounds. The prison guards didn't care if the prisoners tortured him.

Mr. Jin often fell to the ground because they wouldn't let him sleep. Prisoners Zhang Jinliang, Zhang Siuzhi, Li Dawei, and Wang Xiyou beat him up whenever they felt like it. One time, prisoner Shu Jingang used his hand to hit Mr. Jin's throat, so that he had difficulty eating for a long time. Every day, the prisoners would hold him onto the floor and force his legs apart. He perspired so much that it wet a patch of floor. If he didn't do it, Fan Laoshan would apply the so called "Jiamusi Great Spread" (a torture method) that made it difficult for him to breathe, or would kick him on the chest, causing so much pain that he rolled over on the floor. Jiang Zhangyou led several prisoners to hold Mr. Jin's hands and hit his palms with a plank until they swelled up. They would then beat his leg. When Mr. Jin refused to wear a prison uniform, Fan Laoshan would beat him harshly.

During the 2003 SARS epidemic, Dafa practitioners went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution. One day, the Shuangzi police took Mr. Jin to the discipline room and beat him up ruthlessly. Xiang Zhenchun told a prisoner to stamp "prisoner" on his clothes. They even stamped his undergarments. Mr. Jin tore off his clothing to protest.

On March 24th 2004, the prison guards used their usual trick of sleep deprivation to punish practitioners. Li Fengjiang and Wang Hailong would beat Mr. Jin severely when he refused to wear prison clothes. Prisoner Xue Weiping kicked him on the chest. Many prisoners then forced the prison uniform onto him. Li Fengjiang shouted, "We can deal with Falun Gong in any way we want. If they refuse to be reformed, we'll cremate their dead bodies."

On March 26th Song Jinlong told prisoners to strip off Mr. Jin's clothes and tie him to a wooden board. Then, they put him on the toilet floor and opened the windows. Mr. Jin could not endure the chilly wind. Prisoners Xue Weiping and Jiang Zhongli then sprayed cold water from a faucet on his body and face that he could hardly breathe and almost fainted. Guo Hui beat him with a hose. Zhang Renbo used a toothbrush to poke his toenails until they almost came off. He Zhiqiang trampled on Mr. Jin's head. They stuffed a dirty sock into his mouth. Seeing that Mr. Jin was just standing there, Song Jinlong wasn't satisfied and told the prisoners to, "Stomp on him." Guo Tonghua said viciously, "It seems impossible to beat you to death. We may be able to beat you to death by accident." Finally, they connected a water hose to his penis. It wasn't known when they removed the hose. Afterwards, several prisoners carried him to the study room. Prisoner Yang Qijian slapped his face as soon as they got there. They then forced him to write answers to some tests, but he refused.

That night, they took him out of his bed and dragged him to the study room again without any clothes on. They opened the window and held him down in front of it. When he struggled to resist, they twisted his arms and pushed him down on the floor. Several of them sat on him. After that, they made him stand there. The prison guards formed a team of four prisoners to take turns torturing Mr. Jin.

Mr. Jin's feet became so swollen from standing for a long period of time that he couldn't even take off his pants. He also had many open wounds on his legs.

Towards the end of 2004, guard Li Fengjiang ordered prisoners to drag Mr. Jin to the learning room for surveillance.

On April 30th 2004, during jail cleaning, guard Li Tie inspected Mr. Jin's pillowcase and took out all of his clothes. After the inspection was over, Mr. Jin put his things back inside the pillowcase but Li scattered everything again. He forbade Mr. Jin to wear his own clothes. He told him to wear the prison uniform and then tore off a piece of Mr. Jin's clothing. When Mr. Jin protested the insult and harassment, the prison guards beat him with rubber batons and took him to a small cell. Mr. Jin shouted, "Falun Dafa is good!" all the way to the small cell. They stuffed his mouth with a cloth, but he spat it out and continued shouting. They immediately tied him up in a metal chair when they got to the cell.

Mr. Jin went on a hunger strike to protest the unjust treatment of Falun Gong practitioners. He was locked to the metal chair for 12 consecutive days and had to relieve himself on the chair during that time. His hands and feet became numb and cold in the freezing cell. They force-fed him three times. The stuff they tried to feed him poured all over his body when they couldn't pour it in. Mr. Jin asked the guard to unlock him so he could change clothes, but was refused. After 12 days, Li Fengjiang went to the cell to let him change into the prison uniform. Mr. Jin, however, refused to wear it. As a result, they let him out of the small cell three days later.

For more than three years, Mr. Jin Sheng has suffered from all kinds of cruel tortures. As a result, his current health condition is poor and his life is in grave danger.

Mr. Jin's family members have asked to see him many times and were refused every time.
