Ms. Zhang Shuying Tortured with Electric Batons at the Heizuizi Forced Labour Camp in Changchun, Jilin Province

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Zhang Shuying lives in Miqizi Town, Dehui City, Jilin Province. When she visited her aunt on March 2nd, 2010, she was arrested by two policemen led by the deputy director of the Miqizi Police Station. Afterwards the police ransacked Ms. Zhang Shuying's home and took away two personal computers, one monitor, a CD writer, and eleven hundred yuan¹ in cash.

Only Ms. Zhang Shuying's mother was at home at the time, and she was unable to observe all that went on, as she has difficulty walking. She uses a walking stick, and she didn't see every item the police took away. Ms. Zhang Shuying hid one hundred and twenty yuan in her gloves, and the money was confiscated by the deputy director at Miqizi Police Station.

Ms. Zhang was handcuffed to a radiator at the police station. Police officers there slapped her face, pulled her hair very hard, and poured water on her neck. They even wiped her mouth with mustard oil. Ms. Zhang was subsequently sent for one and a half years of detention at a forced labour camp.

The deputy director of Miqizi Police Station sent Ms. Zhang Shuying to the Heizuizi Forced Labour Camp in Changchun City on March 19th. When Ms. Zhang asked about her 182 yuan, the deputy director kicked her very hard and shouted at her, "Who has seen your money!"

On April 12th, someone came to the Heizuizi Forced Labour Camp to visit Ms. Zhang Shuying, saying that she was Ms. Zhang's cousin. When Zhou Zhanhong, a guard at the forced labour camp, asked Ms. Zhang who the visitor was, Ms. Zhang answered that she was her niece. The guard then said that Ms. Zhang was lying and forced her to write a statement admitting to her wrongdoing. At 1:00 p.m. that day, Zhou Zhanhong forced Ms. Zhang to write statements to renounce practising Falun Gong. Ms. Zhang refused to comply. As a result, Zhou Zhanhong shocked her with electric batons. She was shocked continuously from 1:00 p.m. until 3:00 p.m. Almost all parts of Ms. Zhang's body were shocked, including her mouth, arms, chest, and her lower abdomen and thighs. Yan Lifeng, the captain, was also present at the time.
