Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Wang Yunjie's breasts were disfigured and infected as a result of long-term torture, which included being tied up, hung up and shocked with electric batons. It was difficult to look at her and see her suffering.
The following links lead to photos of Ms. Wang Yunjie, taken after having suffered from the aforementioned tortures. It is recommended that children and those with delicate sensitivities refrain from viewing these photos:
Around 3:00 p.m. on May 14th 2002, two policemen and two security officers from the Paoyazi police station of Dalian, Liaoning Province arrested Ms. Wang Yunjie at work, without any legal warrant or cause. They took her to the Paoyazi police station.
Ms. Wang Yunjie was kept in a room and monitored by four guards until midnight, at which time she was transferred to the Public Security Bureau's Branch in Ganjingzi Precinct. She was not given any food or water.
At the Ganjingzi precinct, the police locked Ms. Wang and a dozen other Falun Gong practitioners into a small iron plate hut of several square meters in circumference.
The next morning, Ms. Wang was transferred again to Yaojia Forced Labour Camp, where she was detained for 20 days. Without any legal recourse, cause, or documentation, Ms. Wang was taken to the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp on June 4th 2002. At that time the police from Ganjingzi informed Ms. Wang Yunjie that she had been given a two-year sentence to be served at Masanjia Forced Labour Camp. They pressured her to sign the detention notice documents, but Ms. Wang refused.
Below is an account of the persecution Ms. Wang Yunjie suffered at Masanjia.
After Ms. Wang had arrived at Masanjia on June 4th she was taken to the No.1 Brigade. Captain Wang Xiaofeng and guard Shi Yu were assigned to guard Ms. Wang. At first, Ms. Wang was isolated in an empty room on the second floor of No.2 Building in the women's section. There was no bed or anything else. She was not allowed to wash herself, brush her teeth or go to the toilet. She was only allowed to use the toilet with permission from the guards. They had to stay with her at all times. It was past midnight when she finally was allowed to sleep--on the cold concrete floor. They woke her up at 5:30 a.m. daily. Then they took her to the backyard where they dried the laundry and forced her to stay in the hot summer sun. If she did not cooperate, she would be taken to the bathroom, toilet, warehouse or basement, and cruelly tortured. They tried to force her to give up her belief in Falun Gong through inhuman methods. All this was done secretly in isolation.
During the day, more than four collaborators1would be involved in the torture of Falun Gong practitioners. They interrogated Ms. Wang Yunjie and tried to force her to give up practising Falun Gong. They made her squat, remain in a kneeling position or stand still for a very long time. Once, four of the collaborators asked, "Will you give up practising Falun Gong?" Ms. Wang replied, "Never!" They told guard Shi Yu, 20, who said, "Her brain must be made of granite. That's why she refuses to reform.2" Shi Yu grabbed Ms. Wang's hair and shouted, "A large number of people have renounced Falun Gong. You think you are better! Granite brain!" Then she kicked Ms. Wang until she fell to the ground.
Between June 5th and mid-November of 2002, Ms. Wang Yunjie was forced to stand in the sun for close to 20 days. She was locked into a dark and damp lavatory for over a month and then locked in the bathroom. After that she was locked in a warehouse and the basement for nearly four months. She was locked into the lavatory from 4:30 a.m. to midnight and forced to stand still and/or squat during the entire time. Only during mealtimes was she allowed to sit on the floor. Even during mealtimes, she was kept in the lavatory, despite the guards using the toilet. She was subjected to the same tortures in the bathroom, the warehouse and the basement. As time went on, the physical punishment became increasingly more brutal.
Six months later, Ms. Wang was transferred to the No.2 Branch of the No.1 Brigade. She was awakened at 5:30 a.m. by two of her torturers who took her to the bathroom and let her wash her face and use the toilet. Next they would force her to memorise and recite all camp rules and regulations. If she refused, they extended her prison term or dragged her out of the bedroom and tortured her. Typical torture methods consisted of hanging her up from her hands that were handcuffed behind her back. She also had to stand still or squat for a long time.
Another six months passed. One day around 6:00 p.m. guard Shi Yu called her to the office because Ms. Wang had written a note in her bedroom, "This is an evil arrangement." Shi Yu was enraged when she saw the note. She and the female guard Ren Hongzan (Captain of No.6 branch brigade), beat Ms. Wang Yunjie brutally, walked over her body and kicked her with their leather shoes. They knocked Ms. Wang to the ground. This continued until midnight.
Ms. Wang was also suspended in the air from her shackled hands for over eight hours after she refused to practise Taichi. When she refused to practise Taichi again, she was forced to stand in the scorching sun in the exercise field.
Once Ms. Wang's prison term was arbitrarily extended by five days because she refused to copy from a book that vilified Falun Gong. In addition, Ms. Wang was forced to do hard labour, including planting trees, digging holes for trees and husking corn. She was also forced to do hard labour for over ten hours for close to 30 days.
On December 3rd, 2002, a "Reform Group," all men, from the Liaoning Province's Public Security Division came to Masanjia Forced Labour Camp. They tortured practitioners brutally for almost a month. They were the most vicious and heartless guards from Benxi, Jinzhou and Fushun forced labour camps. Mr. Sun, Deputy Head of the Liaoning Province's Public Security Division, and Mr. Guo, the former Head of Benxi Drug Rehabilitation Bureau Mr. Guo Teiying were in charge of this "Reform Group."
This "Reform Group" identified 50 determined Falun Gong practitioners from No.1, No.2 and No.3 Brigade and locked them in the Zonghe Building, where the torture chamber was located. Ms. Wang Yunjie was one of the 50 victims.
At first, they kept Ms. Wang in isolation. Two collaborators monitored her. She was denied sleep and forced to stand still in the corner of the room. The next day, she had to sit on a chair with her hands tied behind her back to the back of the chair. At night, they had her wear a motorcycle helmet. The guards kept ready chopsticks and a basin of cold water. Anytime Ms. Wang closed her eyes, they poured water over her and hit the helmet hard with the chopsticks. Then the tortures became even more brutal.
Two guards from Benxi, holding an electric baton, shouted, "We will see who is tougher!" The two men tore Ms. Wang's shirt open and started shocking her breasts with two electric batons for 30 minutes. Afterwards, they made her stand still for the entire night. The next morning, guard Guo Tieying asked Ms. Wang nastily whom she would follow. Ms. Wang replied, "I will follow the Teacher of Falun Gong."
Guo Tieying immediately brought in two guards from Jinzhou and several collaborators to torture her. They tore a bed sheet into strips and fixed her legs in the meditation position. Next they tied her arms behind her back and tied her upper body to her legs. Now Ms. Wang looked like a ball. Then they suspended her in the air by her handcuffs, with hands behind her back. She suffered excruciating pain for seven hours. Afterwards, Ms. Wang could no longer walk with her back straight, but was bent over, nor could she sit straight.
The long periods of torture took a severe toll on Ms. Wang's health. Although she had become extremely frail, she had to do forced labour in the No.2 branch brigade. She was forced to make handcrafts for export, such as paper flowers. Four months later, she was transferred back to No.2 branch of No.1 Brigade. Another two months later, the guards at Masanjia Forced Labour Camp realised that she was dying. To avoid legal ramification, they forced Ms. Wang to have a physical outside the camp. They brought her back to the camp the next day and told her family to come and get her immediately. They also demanded 2,000 yuanSup>3 from her older sister. Her older sister refused, citing the crimes committed against Ms. Wang.
Finally, Ms. Wang gained her release. Later her family found out that the camp staff believed that she had only two months to live. Masanjia camp staff had not shared any of their knowledge about Ms. Wang's condition with her family. After Ms. Wang returned home, the camp called her family once to ask whether she was still alive.
