Recent Retribution Cases in Shandong Province Prison System

Editors’ Note: In both Western and Chinese culture, the principle of karmic retribution, that is, being held ultimately accountable for one's own actions, is widely accepted. The fundamental teaching of Falun Gong is the characteristic of the universe, "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." The universe will reward actions that are in harmony with this principle, while actions such as beating, torturing and murdering people will incur karmic retribution. Stated another way, good deeds will be rewarded with good, while evildoings will meet due retribution. Articles such as this one are meant as a compassionate reminder of this principle to those who would commit wrongdoing. While many of those who persecute Falun Gong are merely "following orders," the universal law requires that they, too, be held responsible for their actions, and that only by reversing their course of wrongdoing may they escape retribution.

Wang Yuzhang, male, was the Shandong Province Prison Administration Bureau Head from 1999 to 2004. He actively took part in the persecution, planned actions to suppress all Falun Dafa practitioners (and their family members) employed in the Prison system, and cruelly tortured all detained practitioners with inhuman means. Many practitioners employed in the prison system were forced to go through brainwashing, dismissed from their jobs, had their homes ransacked, and even were sentenced to forced labour or prison terms. He passed down orders to persecute Falun Gong many times during the persecution.

Wang Yuzhang has been charged with big financial corruption crimes, and is now under investigation.

Niu Qingfang, female, was a Chinese Communist Party Committee member of the Shandong Province Prison Administration Bureau, and also the Political Office Chair in charge of political and personnel matters. She gave many guards who had actively joined the persecution promotions. In June 2006, she was paralysed due to an accident when her vehicle bumped into the centre median of the road.
