Crimes Recently Committed by the Guards at Weiningying Forced Labour Camp in Benxi City

In July 2008, Falun Gong practitioner Gao Dong was transferred to the Weiningying Forced Labour Camp in Benxi City from Panjin City in Liaoning Province. He had been on a hunger strike for several days. As soon as he was sent there, he was locked in a cell where the "Death Bed torture¹" instrument was situated. Police strapped him to the death bed and force fed him until October, when he was allowed to eat by himself. He is still detained in the cell at the moment.

Zheng Kai and Liu Wei were the guards in charge of the cell. In order to reduce their imprisonment term, under the guards' instigation, some inmates were actively involved in the persecution of practitioners. They included Hu Yandong, Bao Hui, Zhang Kexin, Wang Gang, Xia Wei, Li Bin, Fang Guojun, Li Qi, Li Jia etc.

In August, Lu Wenbin, Director of the Weiningying Forced Labour Camp, Bi and Liu Shiben, Political Commissars along with Meng Lixin, the head of the Management Department, came to visit Section Two of the Third Brigade. When they found out that practitioner Gong Fajiu from Wafangdian in Dalian City wrote, "Falun Gong is good" on papers and also practiced exercises in public, they were so angry that they beat him in person.

On September 5th, guards in the Weiningying Forced Labour Camp tortured Gao Dong and other six practitioners on the death bed.

On October 22nd, five elderly practitioners were transferred to the Benxi Forced Labour Camp from the Anshan Forced Labour Camp. Their names were unknown. One of them lived in Jilin and was arrested in Beijing where he had odd jobs.

Note

1. "Death Bed" torture: A practitioner is tied to a bed with his hands handcuffed above his head to the bed rails, and his legs tied with thin nylon ropes. The rope is then tightly wrapped around the practitioner's body and the bed, from his legs to his chest. The rope is wrapped so tightly that the practitioner has difficulty breathing and eventually loses consciousness.
