58-Year-Old Mr. Na Zhenxian Tortured to Death in Changlinzi Men's Forced Labour Camp

At 2:00 p.m. on September 16th 2005, the Changlinzi Men's Forced Labour Camp in Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province notified Mr. Na Zhenxian's family that Mr. Na was very sick, and to visit him immediately. His family went right away, but Mr. Na Zhenxian had been tortured to death, and had many wounds on his body.

Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Na Zhenxian was a 58 year old farmer who lived in Zhiye Village, Xiqin Township, Shuangcheng City, Heilongjiang Province. He was previously known for his smoking pipe, and a drinking bottle that never left his hands. He had ailments all over his body, and could not do farming. Ever since he started cultivating Falun Dafa in 1996, he quit smoking and drinking, all his ailments disappeared, and he re-joined working in the fields. His family had a much better relationship with him.

Since July 20th 1999, when the persecution of Falun Dafa began, Mr. Na Zhenxian had been arrested many times, extorted of several thousand yuan¹, and detained in a brainwashing class and Shuangcheng City Detention Centre for several months. On November 4th 1999, police from a local station ransacked his home, took away his Falun Dafa materials, handcuffed him and three fellow practitioners onto the heating pipes in the Station for more than twenty hours, and extorted 1500 yuan. On May 16th 2001, he was detained for 70 days by Shuangcheng City police, and fined 700 yuan by the detention centre.

On the evening of February 27th 2004, Mr. Na Zhenxian was once again arrested at his home by members of the Township government and police station. They sent him to Shuangcheng City Police Department the next morning at around 4:00 a.m., and locked him in Shuangcheng City Second Detention Centre. During detention, Police Station Head Sun Jinxing and his helper tried many times to extort more money from his family, but in vain. They then had Mr. Na Zhenxian sentenced to two years of forced labour without any evidence or legal grounds. Mr. Na was locked in the Fourth Ward of Changlinzi Men's Forced Labour Camp.

On October 11th 2004, the camp administration, education office and management office combined man power to gather in the Fourth Ward, some carrying electric batons, some wearing army belts. First, the education office head gave a lecture on labour reform in the Fourth Ward, and then a prison guard forced Falun Dafa practitioners to study the labour camp rules. Suddenly, with the excuse of someone's reading voice being too low, prisoners dragged Falun Dafa practitioners Mr. Yao Shiguo, Mr. Kou Fangqi, Mr. Na Zhenxina and eight other practitioners one by one to prepared rooms, then threatened and beat them under encouragement from the prison guards. Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. He Qinghui was beaten the most severely, and passed out for more than ten days, and lapsed into a coma. Police tried to block the information after this tragedy, and fabricated lies to escape their responsibilities.

As to how Mr. Na Zhenxian died, we need to investigate the details.
