Mr. Su Gang from Chengdu, Sichuan Province was subjected to eighteen months in a forced labour camp after he was arrested in May 2011 in Baoji, Shaanxi Province. On May 30th, he was taken to the Third Brigade of the Guozheng Forced Labour Camp, also called Shaanxi Qinling Copper Factory. As a result of torture, he was unable to walk or take care of himself, and developed tuberculosis. The labour camp did not give him any medical care. Mr. Su Gang went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution. He is now in critical condition.

Mr. Su, around 50, was a doctor in a workers' hospital of a factory of the Ministry of Nuclear Industry in Jiajiang County, Sichuan Province. He was imprisoned for practising Falun Gong for two years in the Xinhua Forced Labour Camp in Mianyang, Sichuan, and for four years in the Wumaping Prison in Sichuan. He was held at the Xinjin Brainwashing Centre in Chengdu, Sichuan.

The Third Ward of the Guozhen Forced Labour Camp is specialised in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. Warden Zheng (first name unknown) and guard Zhi Jun gathered sturdy and wicked criminal inmates, and formed a “safe team”. Others called them the “beater team” since what they did was beat practitioners. They claimed they beat others “legally” because they were following the orders of guards, and the more people they beat, the more they had their prison terms reduced.

Mr. Su Gang was repeatedly beaten by the “beater team”. They subjected him to various tortures, such as splitting the legs (see http://www.clearwisdom.net/html/articles/2011/8/4/127216.html), standing punishment, squat punishment, sleep deprivation. Mr. Su Gang had damage all over his body. He suffered unendurable pain, could not move his body or take care of himself, and developed tuberculosis.
