The Persecution of Ms. Jiang Deyuan

This is an account of the persecution I was subjected to in my home town and in detention centres and hospitals. On June 17th, 2008, Jiang Fengliang, Wang Zifa, Wang Xinghua, and Huang Liping from the National Security Team came to my home, saying someone had reported that I distributed flyers about Falun Gong. They took me to the police department.

I was interrogated in the police department. Wang Zifa wrote down our conversation as he questioned me. His report was four to five pages. He said, "You do not know how to read, so I will read it for you." He took one of the pages and read. He said my answers were that I thought Falun Gong was good, that I went to the police department to ask for the release of Hu Zecong who was being held in the detention centre, and that I distributed flyers about Falun Gong on the street. He then asked me to sign the document. After I signed, he laughed and said I had been deceived.

I said, "I must leave. I need to go to pick up my grandson at school." Jiang Fengliang did not let me go. At 12 p.m., they took me to a detention centre.

In the detention centre, I went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution. Twelve days passed. Qin Shijun, the chief of the detention centre, sent me to the county hospital for forced-feeding. The doctor could not insert the feeding tube even after he tried for some time. He said, "We can force feed her after cutting her trachea open." Qin Shijun did not agree. I lost consciousness after the doctor injected me with an unknown drug. When I woke up, my hands were handcuffed to the bed rail in the detention centre. Tubing had been inserted into my nose.

On July 17th, 2008, guard Zhang Deqiong said to me, "Because of the upcoming Beijing Olympic Games, we will send you to a forced labour camp. If you behave well, you can be released after a few days." Then he told me that my term was for one and a half years.

The National Security Team and the detention centre did not notify my family of my forced labour sentence and forcibly dragged me into a police vehicle. They drove me to the Xichang Train Station. I shouted, "Falun Gong is good! Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!" Zhang Deqiong ordered, "Seal her mouth with tape."

On July 18th, 2008, I was taken to the Nanmusi Women's Forced Labour Camp. A guard smiled and said, "Another 5,000 yuan¹ is delivered." The local police need to pay the forced labour camp 5,000 yuan for each Falun Gong practitioner they send to the camp.

The guards ordered three drug addicts, Liu Yan, Huang Li, and Xiong Li, to watch me. Whenever I moved my hands or feet, they beat me. Someone slapped my face and someone pulled my hair. They beat me eight or nine times a day. They called seven or eight other detainees to drag me to a toilet and beat me. They did not allow me to sleep or use the toilet.

The labour camp also forced practitioners to do over-time hard labour. From 6 a.m. to midnight, practitioners were forced to make cloth toys, pick pig hair, etc. Xiong Ying told me to insert threads into needle holes. I said, "I am not a prisoner. I do not do forced labour." She punctured my legs with a needle and hit me with a stool.

When I had just arrived at the labour camp, I was taken for physical check up. They said I had high blood pressure and forced me to take an unknown drug, saying that there are seven layers of doors from the prison cell to the outside, and no one would know if a detainee were dead.

When I was at the verge of death as a result of persecution, the labour camp released me on January 2nd, 2009.

The guards at the Nanmusi Labour Camp manipulate drug-addicts, prostitutes, and thieves to watch and persecute Falun Gong practitioners. Those detainees are very vicious and employ many kinds of inhuman means to persecute practitioners. On November 14th, 2008, 61-year-old Ms. Zheng Yongmei from Chengdu City died as a result of persecution.

Currently, the 7th Team of the Third Division of Nanmusi Forced Labour Camp is holding more than 50 Falun Gong practitioners.

Guards of the 7th Team: Zhang Xiaoying, Jiang Nan, Duan Yuanyuan, Luo Chunhua, Liu Decui, Ao Jingjing, Jiang Li, Ren Fengming, Fu Meiqin, Mei Yilu.
