The Criminal Behaviour of Zhang Shoujiang and Yi Xiuyan in Panjin Labour Camp [Part 2]

By Falun Gong practitioners that had been sent to Panjin Labour Camp

[continued from http://www.clearharmony.net/articles/200211/8132.html]

A lady in her 60s (I don't know her name) had her clothes removed by a policewoman and her whole body was pinched black and blue. In September, they conducted the same crime again. This crime has been committed more than once. After the male practitioners were gathered in the intensive monitor unit, they continued the torture. Tang Xiaobiao told prisoners, "Beat them (Dafa practitioners) up. I'll reduce your prison terms." Once when Zhang Shoujiang was talking nonsense, Ye Ximing ignored him. Zhang stamped his foot in fury. Tang Xiaobiao immediately dragged Ye Ximing out and slapped his face over a dozen times. In the evening, Tang Xiaobiao ordered prisoners to press Ye Ximing on the floor and he struck Ye 16 times with a pickaxe. Later on, Tang Xiaobiao and others brutally beat Ye Ximing, locked him up, handcuffed him, and then hung him up. Ye Ximing suffered a mental collapse due to the severe physical and mental torture that had exceeded what he could endure. Several times, some practitioners had asked the guards to let Ye Ximing see a doctor but their requests were refused. Ye Ximing was later released but has not recovered to this day.

The same kind of vicious torture also happened in the Panjing Women's Labour Camp. Liu Wenping, a female practitioner, used to work for the water supply company of Liaohe Oil Field. In December 1999, she went to Beijing to appeal and was illegally sentenced to 3 years of forced labour. In the labour camp, she endured all kinds of inhumane torture and denounced Dafa under intense pressure. She was then released in December 2000. Later she began practicing again. However, when the labour camp learned this, several policewomen went to her work unit to pressure her and threatened to arrest her. On November 6, 2001, she was arrested while posting Dafa materials. The police beat her badly. On November 11, 2001, she was illegally abducted to Panjing Labour Camp without any legal procedures. Yi Xiuyan and other vicious people also beat her badly. Later, they handcuffed Liu Wenping's hands to the steel bar of the window. They disallowed her to wear a coat, opened the window and left her in the chill from 4:00PM to midnight. After midnight, they handcuffed one of her legs to the leg of the bed and beat her frequently. Because she was firm and would not give in, the police covered the window with newspapers and left only a small hole. They isolated her and monitored her 24 hours a day. After being handcuffed for over half month and enduring a long period of torture, Liu Wenping collapsed mentally. In late November, the police spread a rumor outside that "Liu Wenping was on probation for medical care," but actually she was sent to a mental hospital. To escape from the responsibility for her condition, they let her go home in January 2002, but still they ordered her brother to put pressure on her. At that time, Liu Wenping had already completely collapsed mentally and one night at 11:00PM she jumped from the 6th floor (The exact date is not clear). Her family did not dare to appeal or bring charges. They did not even dare to explain the true story to anyone and let the vicious people blame everything on Falun Dafa instead, trying to instigate hatred from the general public toward Falun Gong.

On July 16, 2001, all the male practitioners were gathered into the intensive monitor unit. They were forced to sit straight in the classroom for 14 hours a day. They were only given buns for their three meals and a half basin of water for washing. They were only allowed to go to the restroom once in the morning and once in the afternoon. Such "sitting" torture lasted for 2 months. On September 19, Zhang Shoujiang announced viciously that they were going to put Falun Gong practitioners in isolation. The practitioners were forced to "sit" straight for 18 hours a day, from 4:00am to 10:00pm. If Chen Changli was not happy, he would extend the torture to midnight and force the practitioners to sit absolutely straight. Except for the two restroom breaks per day and the time for washing the dishes, practitioners were forced to sit straight and still in the classroom. Those inmates who are assigned to guard the practitioners often resort to physical abuse. One of them called Dai Yong said, " If I beat you, the unit would be happy and my term would be reduced too." With the support from the camp administration, he often beat up practitioners. The practitioners endured the hardships with their great forbearance. Some practitioners almost lost the control of their bowels and they asked to go to restroom. But the police rejected their request and ordered them to relieve themselves in their pants. Xin Mindua could no longer hold it and relieved himself in a plastic bag while sitting on the bench. They dare not drink water or soup. Such torture lasted for 50 days. Because of sitting like that for so long and not being allowed to move, the practitioners had difficulties in moving their bowels. But the police also limit their time using the restroom. If anybody exceeds the time, the guards will beat him. Practitioner Ma Yunfeng was often beaten for exceeding the restroom time. Such torture also made many practitioners grow scabies on their bottoms. Such scabies would quickly spread all over the body and become very itchy. However, the police would not allow practitioners to move.

In December, in order to resist the long periods of inhumane torture, practitioners went on a hunger strike and requested unconditional release. Zhang Shoujiang told the police, "You are enforcing the law and you will not be responsible for anybody's death due to a hunger strike." So the police said, "We did not beat you or curse you to death. If you are dead, that would be your own problem." Zhang also videotaped the forced feeding of the practitioners and tried to keep those as evidence that the labour camp had nothing to do with practitioners' death due to a hunger strike. Huang Jiukuan often said, "See, I videotaped all of you. If you are dead, I would say that another Falun Gong practitioner pursued consummation [a term for going to heaven] and committed suicide through hunger strike." Practitioners went on the hunger strike for over 160 days and their physical conditions were severely damaged. Ying Baowen almost died. Guo Yulong and Xu Kai became mentally unbalanced. Xin Minduo vomited badly. The doctor thought Gao Dong had severe body function damage. Zhu Zhenlai said, "I looked at Ying Baowen after he took off his clothes. I could not stand to see how skinny he was." Guo Yulong's weight dropped to 110 lb from 176 lb. Gao Dong almost had no flesh, just bones and skin. Other people also lost dozens of pounds. After the hunger strike, the environment became relatively normal and relaxed. Tang Xiaobiao asked practitioners to recover their health. Those police in the intensive monitor unit such as Tang Xiaobiao and Chen Changli no longer wanted to persecute Falun Gong practitioners. They did not want to exert their full strength for Zhang Shoujiang any more.

However, in June 2002, Zhang tried to forcibly brainwash Falun Gong practitioners. After a half-month effort, there was no success. He then separated some practitioners and continued to pressure them. Over a month later, he did not see much effect and could not wait any longer. In the end of July 2002 he again reverted to his true self. He gathered all the police officers in the camp to form a special organization for persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. He led it in person, abducting 3-4 practitioners each time, putting each one in a single room watched by a team of 5-6 police. They kept torturing the practitioners day and night, forcing the practitioner to squat and stand still for a long periods of time. They also disallowed practitioners to go to the restroom and beat practitioners arbitrarily. For those practitioners who went on a hunger strike, the police would brutally force-feed them every day to torture them. After the force-feeding, the police would forcibly pour very strong liquor down their throats. Guo Yanliang went on a hunger strike for over 2 months to protest the torture and he became very skinny. The police once beat him over 30 times with sticks. He became too weak to stand up. But the police still forced him to stand still. His legs were swollen, and looked terrible. Xiao Zhijun had a head injury and was frequently in a light coma. But the police still tortured him and would not allow him to sleep for three consecutive days and nights.

Zhang Shoujiang also promised the police "A reward of 1000 Yuan [Chinese currency, the monthly salary for an average Chinese urban worker is about 500 Yuan] for reforming one Falun Gong practitioner." He also promised a free travel package, etc. Those awards were another factor that stimulated the police to act so recklessly. Zhang would come to the site and order such crimes 4 or 5 times a day. He called meetings every day with the police staff to study the methods and plan the next step of persecution. Long periods of beatings, torture and not being allowed to sleep caused some practitioners to be muddle headed. Those who were "Reformed" were all done so under great pressure and brutal torture. The major criminals for conducting the crimes here are Zhang Shoujiang, Yi Xiuyan, Huang Yongkuan, Liu Yongbin, Liu Minghua, Jia Jingliang, Guan Baoming, Cai Li, Liu Dahan, Liu Zhe, Zhang Yunlong, Wang Yan, Liu Min and Zhao Hongyan.

Why do those police dare to be so brutal with our practitioners? According to their instructions, "They are good people, they will not fight back when beaten or sworn at. So we would have no problem." and "Jiang Zemin wants to crack down on you. Even if you die, we would not be held responsible." What Dafa practitioners did was to firmly tell people the facts about the persecution. We are only practicing our civil rights granted by the Chinese constitution. However, we are facing such brutal persecution. Please extend your kind help for justice and return a normal living environment for Falun Gong practitioners.

Dafa Practitioners all over the world will record the crimes inside the Panjing City Labor Camp by Zhang Shoujiang, Yi Xiuyan and their gangs. Their crimes will surely received punishment from heaven!
