Exposing the Chinese Communist Regime's Recent Abuse and Killings of Falun Gong Practitioners - Part 2

Part 1: http://www.clearharmony.net/articles/200706/40042.html

Recent Incidents of Killing with Unknown Drugs

Many recent incidents of Falun Gong practitioners' deaths from persecution reveal that widespread forced drug intake still exists in prisons, labour camps, brainwashing classes, mental hospitals, police hospitals and even civil hospitals. After the Party fails to "reform¹" Falun Gong practitioners, the officials insidiously destroy their nerves and physically annihilate them. Such Communist-sanctioned horror is taking place throughout China on a daily basis.

Mr. Zhao Wenpeng, in his forties, worked at the Guiyang Telecommunication Equipment Factory in Guizhou City. He explained to people how he benefited from Falun Gong practice and exposed the brutal facts of the persecution in August 2006. He was arrested at home and taken to the Yunyan Detention Centre in Guiyang City where he was savagely tortured. He experienced whole body oedema. The flesh on his left leg ulcerated into a large hole that constantly seeped pus and fluid. He was transferred to the Guiyang Police Hospital for "treatment" consisting of injections, pills and IV infusions. His condition deteriorated drastically as a result of the drug combinations, and he lost the feeling in his limbs and became incontinent. He died at the Guiyang Police Hospital on March 7th, 2007.

Mr. Zhou Zuofu, 57, worked at the Ruichang City Linen Factory in Jiangxi Province. Agents from the Ruichang City 610 Office²" and the police had arrested and sent him to brainwashing classes and labour camp(s) eight times. His weight dropped from 65 kg. (143 lbs.) to 40 kg. (88 lbs.) as a result of torture. Authorities at the Majialong Forced Labour Camp subjected him to various types of torture, but they could not bend his belief in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. They eventually mixed drugs into his food that led to a mental collapse. He passed away on March 6th, 2007.

Ms. Xu Hongmei and Ms. Xu Zili from Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province were arrested on January 13th, 2007. Participating in the arrest were officers from the Qingyun Street Police Station. The police coerced the two women into betraying other practitioners. After five days of around-the-clock torture, both practitioners developed organ failure. They vomited blood and went into convulsions. They were carried into a ward at the Department of Internal Medicine at the No. 2 Hospital on February 17th, 2007 while wearing shackles. Their families could not afford the 20,000-yuan "release fee" the 610 Office agents demanded. The officials vowed they would not let the practitioners go, even if they died. On February 27th, 2007, each practitioner was given an injection of albumin (blood plasma). Afterwards their eyes became blank and they lost consciousness. They passed away several hours later, in terrible agony. Xu Hongmei was 37 years old, and Shen Zili was 49 years old.

Mr. Chang Yongfu lived in Mulan County, Heilongjiang Province. He was arrested at his home on July 26th, 2004 for distributing leaflets exposing the persecution. The persecutors took him to the Changlinzi Forced Labour Camp in Harbin City, where the guards and inmates savagely beat him. Labour camp authorities and 610 Office agents secretly took him to the Puning Mental Hospital in Harbin City. Two years later the hospital officials told his sister to take him home. That was in October 2006. His face was deformed and his body was swollen. He could not sleep due to pain and suffered a nervous breakdown. During the moments when he regained mental clarity he told his family that he had been injected with unknown drugs at the hospital. His condition worsened, and he gradually lost sight in both eyes. In the meantime, his nose swelled grossly out of proportion and bled nonstop. Early in the morning on January 18th, 2007, 44-year-old Chang Yongfu stopped breathing. He was bleeding from his eyes and ears, and dried blood filled his nose and mouth at the time of death.

Mr. Shi Baoqi, 40 years old, and lived in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province. He was arrested in November 2006 and taken to the Taiyuan City Detention Centre where he was cruelly tortured. He was transferred to the No. 109 Police Hospital on December 5th, 2006. The doctor gave him drugs via an IV infusion. He then sweat profusely and died suddenly after he was taken back to his room. The police offered his family 50,000 yuan in exchange for silence. His family refused the offer.

Many Falun Gong practitioners had been killed at the No. 109 Police Hospital prior to the murder of Shi Baoqi.

Ms. Bo Shufen, 59 years old, lived in Fuxin County, Liaoning Province. She suffered from liver cirrhosis that resulted in whole body oedema (swelling) before she practised Falun Gong. After she began the practice however, all of her illnesses disappeared. She was able to do housework and work in the field. Her family was extremely grateful to Dafa for saving her. After the Party started persecuting Falun Gong, she appealed for justice for Falun Gong with her firsthand experience and was sent to the Fuqin Detention Centre. She was forced to sit on a wood board. She also was subjected at different times to solitary confinement, the tiger bench and being handcuffed behind her back. She was later transferred to the Masanjia Forced Labour Camp where she was frequently shocked with electric batons and tortured with a method called the big hang-up³. After one year she was injected with nerve-damaging drugs, which caused a mental collapse. She passed away on November 15th, 2006.

-----------------

Nearly 1,000 similar reports have been published on the Minghui/Clearwisdom website. Numerous Falun Gong practitioners have suffered mental collapses and disabilities, and were even killed by the Party's orders to inject them with toxic drugs. According to joint investigations by the World Organisation to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG) and China Mental Health Watch (CMHW), psychiatric abuse of Falun Gong practitioners is commonplace in 23 provinces, cities and autonomous regions. Most mental hospitals and psychiatry departments were coerced into participating in the persecution by being ordered to ignore medical ethics. Most doctors told investigators that they clearly knew Falun Gong practitioners were good and healthy people, yet they went against their own conscience and administered large doses of extremely toxic drugs, "because it was a political assignment, and they would be fired if they did not follow orders." During the systematic persecution, arranged and implemented from the top down, countless people's minds were poisoned by lies and forced into complicity. These people are also victims of the persecution.

Strangleholds and Slamming the Victim's Head Against a Hard Object--Vicious Scheme at Labour Camps

Officials at some labour camps order inmates to tighten a rope around the practitioner's neck and then whack their head against a hard object to cause an intra-cranial hemorrhage, while avoiding leaving external signs of injury. One might think this method is only seen in movies and novels, but it is actually being used on Falun Gong practitioners who refuse to renounce their belief at the Beijing Women's Forced Labour Camp.

The guards ordered inmates to tighten a rope around Zhang Lianying's neck and punch her head when she has nearly suffocated, all in an attempt to make her give up Falun Gong, although Falun Gong had given her a new life. They tightened the rope further while whacking her head until Zhang Lianying suffered a widespread intra-cranial hemorrhage and fell into a coma. She was taken to the Renhe Hospital in Daxing District of Beijing for emergency treatment and was in critical condition for more than ten days. This was the ninth time the guards at this labour camp had subjected her to this torture. Twice before she was nearly suffocated and beaten until she became incontinent.

Forty-six year-old Ms. Zhang Lianying was a division head and a registered accountant at the China Everbright Group in Beijing. She never asked for a single day of sick leave after she started practising Falun Gong, a sharp contrast to her former self, afflicted with numerous illnesses. She worked hard and never took bribes. She voluntarily gave to a colleague a new, 120 square-metre [1,291 sq. ft] apartment the company had assigned to her. Her family stayed at their old 40 square-metre [430 sq. ft] apartment. One colleague said, "I wish all officials would practise Falun Dafa." She was arrested seven times within the past eight years. She and her family endured brutal persecution simply because of her belief in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.

Ms. Zhang Lianying and her daughter

Ms. Zhang was arrested again at her home on June 14th, 2005, while taking care of her infant daughter who was still nursing. She was sentenced to two-and-a-half years of forced labour. During ten months of detention at the Beijing Forced Labour Re-education Dispatch Division, guard Zhang Dongmei ordered eight inmates to whip her with flyswatters for more than ten hours a day. She was not allowed to wash herself or use the toilet. She had to relieve herself in her clothing, even during menstruation. She was deprived of sleep for extended periods of time, and she was hung up with her feet barely touching the ground. She was also tied to a wooden bench, with her torso twisted in a painful position. She was beaten all day long until her body was covered with wounds, she bled from her eyes, she lost her hearing, and she was near a mental collapse. She could barely move. The abuse again escalated after she was transferred to the Beijing Women's Forced Labour Camp. She was locked in a two-square-metre (22 sq. ft.) solitary confinement room at the Group Drill Division where she ate, slept and relieved herself all in this tiny place.

Zhang Lianying's husband, Falun Gong practitioner Niu Jinping, overcame extreme difficulties and met with Mr. Edward McMillan-Scott, vice-president of the European Parliament, on May 21st, 2006, to expose the Party's persecution of Falun Gong and especially the harvesting of living Falun Gong practitioners' organs. Despite intense focus from the international community, a division head at the labour camp ordered inmates to strangle Zhang Lianying and strike her head. Ms. Zhang Lianying was on a hunger strike at the time.

After the camp authorities' violent treatment of Zhang Lianying was exposed, the officials tried to cut off her connection with the outside world and secretly transported her to the Tiantanghe Hospital affiliated with the labour camp while she was still in a critical condition.

Endnote

Falun Gong practitioners came to great insights as to the true meaning of life through cultivating Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance in their hearts. They experienced physical and spiritual improvement. They and their families all benefited from Dafa more than words can describe. The wicked Party carried out an inhuman persecution of these innocent, kind people that has lasted eight years.

Why is it that Falun Gong practitioners persevere in the face of terror, danger and tribulations? Why do they persecution against all odds?

People who have learned the facts say that Falun Gong practitioners are validating and safeguarding Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance with their lives, and they are dispelling the Party's poisonous lies and awakening their conscience, so every precious person can have the opportunity to see the Party's evil nature, sever any contact with the Party and choose a bright future for themselves. Commentators have pointed out that Falun Gong practitioners' exposing this persecution is resisting the Party's contamination and destruction of humanity. The Falun Gong practitioners' endurance and sacrifice has successfully prevented justice from collapsing during the most wicked persecution in history. Their acts of compassion point out and direct people's attention to reflect on the Party's corruption and vicious nature. In a society where moral corruption is common, the practitioners' feats illuminate the magnificence and preciousness of their belief in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and they are bringing great hope to mankind.
