Exposing the Persecution of Falun Gong Practitioners at Xinyi Police Station and Qianjin Forced Labour Camp in Harbin City

Before I practised Falun Gong, I had fourteen different illnesses. After learning the practice all of my diseases were gone and I followed the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion Forbearance to be a good person.

In the afternoon on August 1st, 2007, I went to Xinyi Police Station in Harbin City to give a letter to director Zhao Chengyin and police officer Wang Wei. The letter advised them to stop committing crimes against Falun Gong and attempted to awaken their conscience. Abruptly, seven to eight officers rushed in and arrested me. They pressed me down on the ground and handcuffed me behind my back, causing excruciating pain. My heart started pounding. A police officer named Gan pressured me to take notes, but I refused to cooperate. At 9 p.m. they dragged me to a detention centre in Harbin City, but I did not pass the physical examination. On the way back to the police station, Gan was so angry that he swore at me. As soon as we arrived at police station he pressed me onto an iron chair and handcuffed me behind my back.

The second and third day they spent contacting other detention centres and made visits to them eight times. The last time Zhao Chengyin and three officers took me to the Second Detention Centre, removed files that showed I twice failed the physical examination, and the director of the centre admitted me reluctantly. I was detained in Xinyi Police Station for 27 hours.

At 4 p.m. on August 3rd, I was detained in the Second Detention Centre of Harbin City. I shouted "Falun Gong is good" and the prison guard ordered inmates to stuff a filthy cloth into my mouth and beat and curse me. I practised Falun Gong in the morning, so deputy director Zhao Fengxia and inmates handcuffed my arms to shackles on my legs. I could not stand up or lie down, and I had to bend over to sit or lie on my side.

I went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution, and Zhao Fengxia ordered inmates to force feed me. Later Zhao Fengxia sent me to Qianjin Forced Labour Camp. I didn't pass the physical examination at Wanjia Hospital, but the hospital director, Jiang, signed the paper and agreed to accept me. They detained me in the first team of Qianjin Forced Labour Camp. I could not eat or drink there. I threw up if I ate something. I looked malnourished and hunched within two weeks. Clinic head Sun Shijun let my child buy medicine and forcibly administered it. When I felt uncomfortable, I started to meditate, but the prison guards wouldn't allow me to continue, and I had to protest the persecution with a hunger strike.

I was twice sent to Harbin Medical University Hospital, and my family members had to buy a lot of medicine. After I returned to the forced labour camp, it was administered by force. The clinic nurse, Li Yushen, injected me eleven times a day. He carelessly prodded my veins with the syringe, which was extremely painful. My hands, feet, and arms became swollen, and my left foot is numb to this day.

Zhang Bo, head of the first team, dragged my bed to the centre of the room. He ordered six people to hold me down, including three inmates, Liang Yachun, Zhang Bo, and Lu Dongxue; a prison guard named Cui Jiangmei; nurse Lan Ying; and a practitioner who had been "transformed¹" named Quan Shuzhi. Zhang Bo held down my arms, legs, and head, and ordered doctor Liu Guojun to give me the injection in my arm. Zhang Bo shouted that he did not believe they could not inject me. Guard Zhou Muqi ordered inmate Lu Dongxue to tie me to the bed with rope and only then were they able to administer the substance. Wang Min, an instructor, handcuffed my hands and feet to the poles of the bed, while Liang Yachun and Quan Shuzhi held me down. They used every possible means to persecute me. Deputy team head Yang Yan pretended to be kind while treating me, however, he deceived my child into writing statements giving up Falun Gong on my behalf behind my back.

On May 7th I was so emaciated that I weighed less than one hundred pounds. The forced labour camp informed my child to take me home. From Xinyi Police Station to the Second Detention Centre of Harbin City to Qianjin Forced Labour Camp, I barely ate anything in nine months. My body suffered tremendously from the persecution, and, due to malnutrition, for a long period of time I lost most of my black hair and eyesight.

After returning home, my whole body was swollen. I couldn't walk due to my swollen legs. I couldn't control my kneecaps or feet, and could do nothing but lie down.
