Mrs. Tan Yajiao Suffers a Miscarriage Due to Severe Torture by Police and Prisoners in Benxi City, Liaoning Province

On September 18th, 2004, local 610 Office¹ personnel arrested Mrs. Tan Yajiao and her husband Mr. Liang Tielong from Benxi, Liaoning Province for telling people the facts of Falun Gong.

Mrs. Tan Yajiao, who was pregnant, was tortured the same night of the arrest. Four or five young and strong police officers beat her and shocked her with electric batons until she lost consciousness and fell to the floor. Later, Mrs. Tan was sent to the Bailou Detention Centre in Benxi City where she suffered further torture. She went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution. Policewoman Zhang Jinjuan bound Tan Yajiao with handcuffs and shackles so she could not move any part of her body and ordered several prisoners to beat her. Days of continuous inhumane torture caused Tan Yajiao to miscarry. The detention centre officials did not provide her with any medical treatment. As a result, she suffered further physical and mental trauma.

After four months of illegal detention, the Pingshan District Court sentenced Mrs. Tan Yajiao to nine years of imprisonment and Mr. Liang Tielong to 12 years of imprisonment. The couple is incarcerated at the Dabei Prison, in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. (See the detailed report at http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2005/6/26/62260.html)

Ms. Wang Xia Subjected to Torture, Attempted Abortion, and Abused until she was Severely Emaciated and in a Vegetative State

Ms. Wang Xia was abused in Huhhot City Women's Prison to the point where she became completely emaciated and near death (July 2004)

Ms. Wang Xia is a resident of Linhe City, Inner Mongolia. On February 19th, 2000, she was arrested in Beijing for appealing for Falun Gong. She was transferred to the Huhhot Women's Labour Camp. Ms. Wang was three months pregnant at that time, yet she was forced to do heavy labour. The jailers once hung her by her handcuffed wrists for an entire day and forced her to stand in a difficult posture for a long time. They also shocked her with electric batons. They released her temporarily during her sixth month of pregnancy. On July 30th, 2000, during her eighth month, Ms. Wang was arrested again and sent to the Linhe City Police Department, where the police tried to forcibly abort her pregnancy, but failed. She left home one month after the birth of her child to avoid further persecution.

In February 2002, Ms. Wang Xia was arrested again and later sentenced to seven years in prison and sent to the Inner Mongolia First Women's Prison. Since she refused to renounce her belief in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, she suffered long-term inhumane torture. She was fiercely beaten, electrically shocked, sexually abused by having a mop handle thrust into her vagina, had safety pins inserted under her fingernails and was subjected to other atrocities. When Wang Xia held a hunger strike to protest the persecution, she was tied to a bed for a long time, with a feeding tube inserted into her nose. She was unable to move. Wang Xia held the hunger strike for two years, and the guards force-fed her for two years. Later, she was sent to a mental hospital where she was additionally abused and eventually lost her memory.

The jailers lost patience with Wang Xia after she refused to give up her belief in Falun Dafa. They yelled, "Let's throw her in the crematory and get rid of her." The head of the 610 Office said, "Her story was published on Minghui/Clearwisdom website. We can't let her die in prison. Tell her family to take her home. If she dies there we'll say she committed suicide." After the prison doctor said Wang Xia would live for only two or three more days, they took her back home on June 29th, 2004. On the way home, the police gave Wang Xia unknown drugs. Several hours after she returned home Ms. Wang was in critical condition. Although emergency treatment revived her, her condition worsened and she constantly drifted in and out of a deep coma.

Ms. Wang weighed more than 120 pounds prior to her detention and was an attractive young woman. When she was sent back home she had become severely emaciated and only weighed about 45 pounds. She could not move, had no memory and was in a vegetative state.

One week after Wang Xia returned home, it became evident that she was tenaciously hanging on to life and was surviving. After her story had been extensively reported by the international media, and faced with kind-hearted people's concern and condemnation, the lawless officials from the Linhe City 610 Office and from the local police station took Ms. Wang back to the prison again.

Some Incidents of Pregnant Falun Gong Practitioners being Tortured

Ms. Shu Ping, a resident of Zhangjiakou City, was sent to Hebei Province's Gaoyang Forced Labour Camp because she refused to give up practising Falun Gong. Although she was four months pregnant at the time, the guards still used electric batons to shock her legs and mouth, and forced her to spread her arms out and stand for long periods of time with her body bent. Once, Ms. Shu was tortured for more than 20 hours, causing agonising pain in her lower back and stomach as well as nausea. She protested to her perpetrators, "You have wives and mothers! How can you treat a pregnant woman like this?" They replied, "Who knows if you are pregnant? When you die, we will cremate your body and simply tell your family to pay 85 yuan² to get your ashes."

Guangzhou Falun Gong practitioner Mrs. Luo Zhixiang died due to the persecution

Mrs. Luo Zhixiang worked as an engineer for the design office at the Guangdong Province Agricultural Construction, Inc. She started practising Falun Dafa in 1997 and followed the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance. After the persecution against Falun Gong began, Mrs. Luo made several trips to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Gong. Beijing police officers abused her each time, and she served a 30-day detention twice. On November 22nd, 2002, the police arrested Luo Zhixiang and her husband, Huang Guohua in the Haizhu District, Guangzhou City. They were sent to the Haizhu District Detention Center. After the 610 Office agents realised that Luo Zhixiang was three months pregnant, they forcibly sent her to a brainwashing class in Huangpu Drug Rehabilitation Centre. She died at age 29 on December 4th, 2002 as a result of the persecution. (See the detailed report at http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2004/10/14/53452.html)

Mrs. Zhang Wuying and her husband Mr. Wu Dianhui were graduate students and teachers at Changzhou Normal Institute of Technology in Jiangsu Province. In April 2000, they went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. Mrs. Zhang was over four months pregnant. More than twenty plainclothes policemen beat her in front of the State Appeals Office. Changzhou Police Department agents told officials at the Changzhou Normal Institute of Technology to take back the apartment assigned to the couple. The Communist regime also deprived them of their right to work and delayed paying their salaries. They sent the couple to the Army's No. 102 Mental Hospital and detained them there with severely ill mental patients. The perpetrators injected the five-month-pregnant Mrs. Zhang with unknown substances and forcibly administered other drugs in an attempt to terminate her pregnancy, but failed. Mrs. Zhang eventually delivered the baby.

The couple was arrested again on February 28th, 2001. In the process, the six-month-old baby's head and legs were injured. On April 29th, 2001, the police arrested Wu Dianhui and sentenced him to two years of forced labour. The school's security guard kept Mrs. Zhang under 24-hour surveillance. The school cooperated with higher authorities to persecute the mother and her child. They forbade anyone to help them and interrogated whoever came to visit them.

Ms. Liu Yunxiang lives in Yangjiazhuang Village, Junbukou Town of Weifang City in Shandong Province. In January 2000, led by the town's former head of the Politics and Law Committee, Hua Guangyong, the authorities at Junbukou Town arrested Ms. Liu Yunxiang. Ms. Liu was pregnant at the time. They imprisoned, beat, and tortured her until she had a miscarriage. In the summer of 2001, the local authorities, including the town's supervisor Gao Zhongde, deputy supervisor Dai Qingjun and Justice Section head Xia Bingtang once again arrested Ms. Liu and beat her until she suffered a second miscarriage. (See the detailed report at http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2005/5/26/61200.html)

Ms. Liu Xiaofen was arrested and detained by police from the Wuzhan Town Police Station in Heilongjiang Province for several months. Although she was five months pregnant with twins, the police station head beat her fiercely, pulled her hair and kicked her. She was not released until she was about to go into labour and her family was extorted out of 5,000 yuan.

Ms. Liu Yanhua from Weifang, Shandong Province was arrested in October 2000 for appealing for Falun Gong. She was detained at the Yingtaoyuan Police Department. Ms. Liu was pregnant, yet the police deputy head beat her, kicked her back and inserted a lit cigarette into her nostril.

Conclusion

Since ancient times, human relations have been of utmost importance. Motherhood is sacred and inviolable. Jiang Zemin's Communist regime's carries out deception, wickedness and violence and forces women to choose between an unborn life and their conscience and belief, in the name of the nation and a wicked political dogma. The Communist rulers use the most barbaric and obscene methods to cruelly harm women, blaspheme motherhood and destroy human relations. This is most unfortunate for the Chinese nation.

At the same time, in a country where the ruler embezzles the state treasury and makes use of the state machinery to wantonly slaughter the innocents and blaspheme maternity, it becomes obvious there is no safeguard or protection for human life and women's dignity. Any citizen's wife, sisters and children can all become the possible next victim. This persecution of belief in "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" has caused inestimable damage to individuals, families, the whole Chinese nation and even the whole of humankind.

History will be witness to Falun Gong practitioners' endurance of tribulations. Their upholding of morality and justice, exposure of the persecution and are precisely acts of great mercy, to rescue the world's people from being sucked in by the Chinese Communist Party's evil spirit, into an abyss that is beyond redemption. This victory and triumph of justice over evil occurring in the 21st Century will forever be recorded in the history books and will leave behind eternal lessons and enlightenment for humanity.
