Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners at the No. 3 Prison in Anhui Province -- Part 2

University Student Suffers Nervous Breakdown from Savage Torture

Mr. Wu Jianghai, a student at a Hefei City University, comes from Wuhu City, Anhui Province. He was arrested and sent to the No. 3 Prison in Anhui Province for speaking to people about the facts of Falun Dafa. He renounced Dafa after brainwashing and barbaric torture in 2004, after which he lived in tremendous anguish. He wrote a "solemn announcement" soon afterwards to nullify his renouncement. The officials abused and mistreated him for three or four months afterward. He endured all kinds of torture including electric baton shocks, sleep deprivation, and solitary confinement in the freezing winter while not being given any food. The officials temporarily gave up their abuses because they ran out of torture methods.

Another round of torture started a few months later. This time the mistreatment was even crueller than before. After several months of inhuman abuse, he again wrote a guarantee statement [renouncing Dafa]. After he was sent back to the group, he again suffered from tremendous anguish and guilt. The inmates assigned to monitor him verbally and physically assaulted him continuously. The guards ordered the inmates to handcuff him to a metal gate while beating and kicking him and shocking him with electric batons. They also didn't let him sleep. Mr. Wu eventually suffered a nervous breakdown.

Despite his condition, the guards sent Mr. Wu to the Strictly Controlled Group. They handcuffed and shackled him, and chained him to a metal pole near a wall. They assigned several inmates to monitor him day and night. Because he had serious injuries, he was later taken to the prison clinic to receive IV infusions. People who saw his delirious state of mind felt sorry for him.

Another two practitioners also became mentally disordered from being tortured. Xie Yexiang is still being detained, and Tian Laisheng from Tongling was released. Their current situations are unknown.

Electric Shock and Sleep Deprivation Changed a Brawny Man from the North Into a Mere Skeleton

Practitioner Mr. Ji Huinian was tortured and force-fed many times after he was sent to the No. 3 Prison in Anhui Province. For several days and nights, the inmates refused to let him sleep, and stabbed his arms and legs with a steel awl. They beat him until his chest collapsed, and you could feel his caved-in rib. He was taken to the prison clinic. The doctor prescribed an IV infusion, injections, and medications for him, but didn't reveal the diagnosis.

Mr. Du Shanwei was once a brawny man from the North, standing five feet, seven inches tall. He was an officer at the Suixi County Police Department in Huaibei City, but was "illegally sentenced¹" to eight years in prison for appealing for Falun Gong while wearing a police uniform. During the violent attempts to "reform²" him, the guards shocked him with electric batons. They also refused to allow him to sleep, handcuffed and shackled him, and forced him repeatedly to trot from the ground floor to the fifth floor and back. They shocked him with electric batons when he refused to cooperate with them. Then the inmates beat and kicked him all the way up and down the stairs. The flesh on his heels and the backs of his feet were scraped raw and exposed the bones. These areas quickly became infected, and the infection lasted for several months. In 2005, he was forced to stand for long periods of time, shocked with electric batons, and deprived of sleep. This once robust, tall man is now skin and bones and walks with wobbly steps. The tortures he had to endure lasted about seven months.

Mr. Li Lin lived in Hefei City and graduated from the Computer Department at Wuhan University. He worked at an import-export company in Wuhan City. He was sent to prison for speaking to people about the facts of Falun Dafa and his family was broken up. The officials pressured his family to "reform" him, and they shocked him with electric batons. They tortured him for several months until he looked deformed.
Practitioner Mr. Wang Yu was born in Hefei City. His wife, a Singapore citizen, is also a practitioner. He could have stayed abroad to avoid persecution, but he went back to China and was betrayed by a "collaborator³." He was sent to the No. 3 Prison in Anhui Province. The Anhui Province 610 Office⁴ regards him as a major target. Tang Chuanyou, a division head at the reform base, political head Xia Liangmin, deputy division head Liu Jiazhong, group head Huang Qijun, political head Yao Song, and Zhao Jishun, the current deputy political head and the former deputy political head at a clothing factory, each carried an electric baton and shocked him repeatedly for a very long time. They also ordered the inmates to torture him, including depriving him of sleep.

Practitioner Mr. Cao Xiongbin from Anqing held several hunger strikes during which time the prison doctor beat him. The inmates call him "animal doctor." These beatings resulted in critical injuries. He was detained in solitary confinement several times and was hung on a metal door many times and handcuffed to a bed. Almost all of his hair turned white.

Practitioner Mr. Li Ce from Fuyang City was brutally beaten for holding a hunger strike. The inmates crushed the first knuckle of his right index finger with a wooden stool. His finger is now bent and deformed.
Practitioner Mr. Huang Zhisong from Anqing City was shocked with electric batons on numerous parts of his body. He was deprived of sleep for many days. When he nodded off, the inmates beat him. He was hung on a metal gate while the inmates beat him. His hair fell out and he was tense from living under such tremendous pressure. The guards ordered inmates to attack Dafa and curse him in front of everyone at a large group meeting.

Practitioner Mr. Xie Jiaqi is in his 60s. He is suffering from numerous illnesses, and the guards would not let him sleep. They shocked him with electric batons and forced him to "reform." He lives in great anguish from having betrayed his faith in Dafa.

Practitioner Mr. Ji Guangjie from Hefei City suffers from serious high blood pressure, 240 over 180 or greater, and he also has myopia. The guards ordered him to take medications. He refused, and they tied him to an operating table and pinched his nose to force medications into his mouth. He almost suffocated.
Practitioner Mr. Wang Manyi comes from Bozhou City. The guards shocked him with three electric batons simultaneously. They then handcuffed him to a metal railing in the hallway in the rain and in sweltering heat. They later sent him to solitary confinement.

Practitioner Mr. Fei Zhangjin comes from Dangtu County in Maanshan City. When the guards demanded that he "reform," he refused. Several guards shocked him with three electric batons. Collaborator Wu Li from Feixi in Hefei City, who was later released, hit him with a wooden club about 3.2 feet long. They hit him so hard that the cracking noise could be heard from far away. They tortured him for more than twenty days, until he was extremely weak. The officials held his hand and pressed his fingerprints on a guarantee statement before they released him.

Practitioner Mr. Hu Wenkui comes from Hefei City. The inmates poured boiling water on his feet, causing severe burns that had not yet healed after nearly one year of hospitalization. He suffered physically and mentally. He looks swollen and deformed from taking steroid medications. Specially assigned people are watching him. He is forbidden to go downstairs on his own.

Practitioner Mr. Zhang Wushun is a doctor from Hefei City. He was detained in solitary confinement and shocked with electric batons many times. The guards kicked him.

Practitioner Mr. Huang Jinli lives in Hefei City. He was hung up by his handcuffed wrists for writing a solemn announcement to nullify his denunciation of Dafa. The guards shocked his neck, head, and other parts of his body with electric batons.

Note

1. Illegally sentenced: Contrary to what former Chinese leader Jiang Zemin, who initiated the persecution, and the Chinese Communist Party would like the world to believe, practising Falun Gong is NOT illegal in China. Although the Public Security Department issued an unconstitutional set of restraints on the practice at the onset of the persecution in 1999, no laws have been passed by the only legislative body in China, the People's Congress, banning Falun Gong or granting the police the authority to arrest Falun Gong practitioners for practising the exercises or distributing flyers. For a more complete discussion of the illegality of the persecution of Falun Gong, please refer to the article "The Ban on Falun Gong—A Dictator's Whim, Not the Rule of Law". (Variation: "illegally arrested")

2. "Reform or Transform" Implementation of brainwashing and torture in order to force a practitioner to renounce Falun Gong. (Variations: "reform", "transform", "reformed", "reforming", "transformed", "transforming", and "transformation")

3. "Collaborators": Former practitioners who have turned against Falun Gong under brainwashing and torture. They are then made to assist in brainwashing and torturing practitioners.

4. "The 610 office" is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems.
