Since the crackdown on Falun Dafa began on July 20th, 1999, the Wolitun Public Security Sub-Bureau in Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province has participated in persecuting Dafa practitioners. When Zhang Yiqing took the position of Political Commissar of the Wolitun Public Security Sub-Bureau, he intensified the persecution in an attempt to be promoted and profit from it.
In October 2005, one Dafa practitioner in Yixixinghua Village of Daqing City mailed some leaflets exposing the persecution to her colleagues and one of them reported her to the police. Police from the Wolitun Public Security Sub-Bureau arrested her. According to a reliable source from the bureau, Zhang Qingyi personally gave the order and instructed police to persecute her. They forced the practitioner sit on an iron chair1, tied her arms and legs to the chair for 27 hours and put a plastic bag over her head until she almost suffocated. Then they poured cold water over her body. At times, they placed burning cigarettes inside the plastic bag until her face turned blue and purple and she spat out white foam.
They poured cold water over her, and repeated the torture again and again. Some police officers forced her to listen to noisy sounds. They put a headset over her ears, and at the highest volume played the sound of people screaming, mice biting each other, metal striking, and glasses breaking. The practitioner felt her head was going to burst. She felt dizzy and nauseous and vomited.
The police officers took shifts and deprived her of sleep. Three or four policemen would take a shift of four or five hours. They screamed and threatened her if she fell asleep and they kicked her and beat her about the face, head and all parts of her body with their leather shoes. They also swore at her while beating her. The police didn't allow her to eat at all or use the toilet around the clock. They put handcuffs and shackles on her, and used various other wicked methods to persecute her. She could hardly bear such torture. As a result she was forced to reveal the names of four practitioners.
These four practitioners suffered from the above tortures as well. Their homes were ransacked. One of them lost property worth 8000 yuan2. The families demanded that Zhang Yiqing release them but he would say one thing and do another. On many occasions he promised the families that he would release the practitioners. But practitioners were still detained. During the month-long detention, he secretly sent their cases to the Procuratorate in an attempt to sentence them. Practitioners informed the Procuratorate about the true nature of Falun Gong to and managed to escape. But Zhang Yiqing still tried to extort a so-called "guarantee deposit" of 5000 yuan from each family, and promised to return the money if practitioners didn't do anything in the following year. Three of the four families gave altogether 15,000 yuan to him but so far money hasn't been returned.
In 2005 Dafa practitioner Ms. Liu Shujie and her daughter Huang Yu, from Xinghua Village of Yixi Township in Daqing City, were arrested when they were explaining the facts about Falun Dafa to people out of town. They were sentenced and detained in another town. In late 2006 her husband went to the prison to see them and was very upset when he saw that his wife and daughter were tortured so severely. Returning home, he was very worried but said very little. In April 2007 he fainted suddenly and was sent to the hospital. The hospital gave him a critically ill notice. Their elder daughter hoped her mother and younger sister could return to see her father for the last time.
She went to see Zhang Yiqing. But he gave every possible excuse and refused her. He said, "If they come back, they will need two policemen to escort them. You will have to pay all the expenses which will amount to 4,000-5,000 yuan."
The family was already in debt--the husband had been unemployed for several years, and his wife had no job and was put on jail several times for practising Falun Gong. Zhang clearly knew that the family couldn't afford it but he still set up many obstacles to prevent the family from seeing each other. As a result the wife and the younger daughter didn't see the husband and father for the last time.
Dafa practitioner Ms. Cui Yumei from Wolitun, Longfeng District, Daqing City was persecuted several times for practising Falun Gong. Her husband and child left her as a result. Her mother Wang Shuqin was also detained and sentenced several times for practising Falun Gong. She died due to persecution in 2002 (the Wolitun Public Security Sub-Bureau was responsible for her case). Ms. Cui Yumei was homeless and away from her hometown. On May 10th, 2007, police from Wolitun Public Security Sub-Bureau directed by Zhang Yiqing arrested her. She was sentenced to one and a half years in jail. On May 29th she was sent to the drug rehabilitation centre in Harbin City.
On April 26th, 2007, Zhang Yiqing led police and arrested Dafa practitioner Ms. Jiang Pai. They tortured her for several days. On April 30th she was sent to the custodial station in Daqing City. They continued torturing her until she vomited blood and fell into a coma. She was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment and stayed in the hospital for over ten days. While there, she was diagnosed with a gallstone. But Zhang and the police from Daqing City Public Security Bureau ignored her condition, took her from the hospital and sent her to the custodial station again. Zhang even said, "Anyone else can apply for bail for medical treatment but Jiang Pai can't."
Zhang wanted to sentence Ms. Jiang secretly. On June 26th, Jiang was tortured and in a coma. She was again sent to the hospital. Her family went to see her in the intensive care unit at the Daqing Oil Field hospital. She was handcuffed and shackled to the bed. Her feet were bruised and swollen. She was on oxygen and couldn't speak or recognise people. She was in a deep coma.
On June 27th, her family went to many departments demanding her release, including the National Protection Team under the Daqing City Public Security Bureau, Wolitun Public Security Sub-Bureau, Daqing City Procuratorate and the Longfeng District Procuratorate in Daqing City. But none would allow her to be released. Then the family went to the City Public Security Bureau and demanded her release. They were told that she would be given medical treatment but wouldn't be released. They then went to the Wolitun Public Security Sub-Bureau, but they shifted responsibility. Jiang Pai passed away at midnight on June 28th, 2007. She was still in shackles that weighed five kilos (11 lb.).
Zhang Yiqing often receives phone calls from overseas. He claimed that his phone was bombarded with phone calls. Unfortunately he doesn't listen to practitioners' good advice and continues persecuting good people. Here we solemnly warn Zhang Yiqing to stop his evil deeds. Otherwise, he will receive retribution with no chance for regret.
We hope people who know Zhang Yiqing will expose his evil deeds and thus to stop his activities.
