Crimes Committed by Authorities at the Wangcun No. 2 Forced Labour Camp, Zibo City, Shandong Province

The Wangcun No. 2 Forced Labour Camp, Zibo City, Shandong Province has a total of eight teams. The Falun Dafa practitioners are concentrated in the seventh and eighth teams. The police intentionally isolate these two teams from the others over the long-term. They use all kinds of brutal ways to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners including electric shocks, hanging them up, locking them on the bed with their arms crossed, forcing them to sit on a small stool and facing the wall for a long time, not allowing them to sleep, forcing them to stand for a long time, brutally beating them, locking them in the solitary compartment, deceiving them, inciting them to be against each other, and so on.

Jing Xusheng, the team leader of the seventh team is one the four notorious evil policemen in the labour camp. In order to break practitioners' spirits, he forced the practitioners to do forced labour, write down their "thoughts" on Falun Gong (they would be punished for writing anything positive), copy the contents of brainwashing videotapes, and take an "exam" on the material. Every Monday, policeman Wang Xinjiang incited a prisoner designated to search practitioners' beds and bags. Policemen Li Gongming, Wang Xinjiang and Song Nan incite the prisoners to persecute the practitioners. They also forced the practitioners to watch brainwashing videotapes.

On June 2006, more than 20 practitioners who were detained in the seventh team refused to take the exam and answer the questions slandering Falun Gong. Ten of them were sent to the "Strictly Monitored Team" to be detained, and the police used electric shocks to torture them. Practitioner Lin Yongshun from the Changyi County shouted loudly at the labour camp meeting that "Falun Dafa is good" and was locked in a solitary compartment for a long time. Even to this day, he is being detained in the second team. Several other practitioners were sent to the "Strictly Monitored Team" in the seventh team for three months.

During the three-month period, the police used several of the worst criminals including Wang Yonggang from Pingdu City and Ma Baojing from Weihai City to guard the practitioners 24 hours a day. The police frequently beat and yelled at the practitioners. They deprived the practitioners of their personal freedom and did not allow them to sleep. Policeman Wang Xinjiang and Li Gongming also searched the practitioners frequently. Practitioner Zhao Jinshan from Zibo City went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution. Policemen Jing Xusheng and Song Nankao bound him to a chair and used high-volt electricity to shock him for an hour. Zhao Jinshan had no fear and the electric shocks did not work. The guards then used pliers to open Zhao Jinshan's mouth and inserted a pipe, pulling it in and out to cause pain, to force-feed him many times.

Practitioner Zhang Feng (a teacher) from Liaocheng City was arrested by the local 610 Office¹. He used a hunger strike to protest the persecution for three years. Then he was sent from the hospital to No. 2 Forced Labour Camp of Shandong Province. The police used pliers and a pipe to torture him too. Right now Zhang Feng is still detained in the " Strictly Monitored Team" within the seventh team.

In summer 2006, a criminal did not allow practitioner Liu Bingyou from Changle County to go to the restroom and compelled him to defecate in his trousers. Practitioners Zhao Jinshan, Su Shiyuan, Han Daxue, Liu Bingyou and others were bound to a bed with their arms crossed for a long time by policeman Li Gongming. Their wrists bled from being rubbed by the handcuffs. After Liu Bingyou was released from the bed, he could not straighten his back for a few months.

Song Haotian from Shanghe County and Hao Daxue from Jiaozhou County were arrested and sent to the forced labour camp. They refused to give up their belief, and were brutally tortured. They were deprived of sleep for a long time. The police forced them to sit on a small stool, put their hands on their legs, and keep the posture for a whole day. Han Daxue was forced to stand facing the wall and his legs were swollen after a few days. But the police forced him to stand for more than 50 days. Then the police sent them to the special group for "transforming²" Falun Gong practitioners in the sixth team. Police Wang Xinjiang incited collaborators Shen Songkun from Weihai City and Li Xu from Zaozhuang City to deceive and brainwash the practitioners. The police also used a few criminals to threaten and beat them. The police forced them to sit on a small stool for a long time, and did not allow them to sleep until 3 a.m. and forced them get up at 5a.m. Han Daxue's buttocks had been rubbed raw from the torture, and he had an ache of the sciatic nerve for a long time. He could not sit or stand for more than a year.

Practitioner Xin Licai from Weihai City was locked in solitary compartment, and was tortured brutally. After he was locked in the solitary compartment for a month, he was transferred to the special group for "transforming" Falun Gong practitioners in the sixth team, and was guarded by criminals for a long time. He was forced to sit on the small stool and was deprived of the right to sleep. Right now he is still detained in the seventh team.

Practitioner Xue Yujun from Mengyin County stood up at the labour camp meeting to stop the police from slandering Falun Gong. He shouted loudly, "Falun Dafa is good!" Police Jing Xusheng locked him into the solitary compartment and tortured him for a week by hanging him up, and using an electric batons to beat him.

58-year-old practitioner Hao Zhiping from Kenli County was arrested and sent to the forced labour camp. He was deprived of the right of sleep, and was forced to face the wall for a long time. Once the police hung him with his arms crossed for two days straight. He is still detained in the "Strictly Monitored Team".

Police Li Gongming instigated conflicts between practitioner Jia Deting and his wife when Jia Deting's wife called him. Jia Deting was brutally beaten by policeman Li Gongming and prison guard Chai Xianggong since he told his wife over the phone that Falun Dafa is good. Practitioner Wu Fengyi was electric-shocked and hung up by the police since he wrote a Solemn Declaration (voiding the renouncement of Falun Gong he had earlier given the authorities). Later he was locked away in the special group for "transforming" Falun Gong practitioners in the sixth team. Police incited criminal Gu Xiaotian to tie Wu Fengyi to the chair and beat him. Wu Fengyi was seriously injured. Then they fed him poison that caused him to be in unconscious for a long time, and caused him bowel and urinary incontinence. When Wu Fengyi's wife visited him, he was still unconscious. Policemen Song Nan, Li Gongming, Jing Xusheng and Wang Xinjiang directly participated in the persecution. Policeman Li Gongming also deceived the practitioners in the labour camp meeting saying that the police took really good care of Wu Fengyi, even better than if they were taking care of their own family.

Practitioner Liu Quanyi was tortured by policeman Gao Chengwei with electric shocks many times because he wrote a Solemn Declaration. He was then sent to the eighth team. The team leader and other policemen in the eighth team bound him to a bed and did not allow him to sleep for 12 days straight. Then he was sent to the sixth team to be detained for a long time. Practitioner Liu Ruping, a lawyer from Jinan City was transferred from the eighth team to the seventh team since he did not compromise with the authorities. He even refused to watch the brainwashing videotape, and was locked in a solitary compartment. The police used electric shocks to torture him. His thigh was bruised very badly and his mouth was swollen severely. He could not eat for a long time. Right now he is still detained in the sixth team.
