Policemen Ruthlessly Persecute Falun Gong Practitioners at Deyang Prison, Sichuan Province
(Clearwisom.net) Horrible crimes continue at Deyang Prison in Sichuan Province. Please see the following cases: Falun Gong practitioner Pan Zhengguang of Group 2 always maintained that he was innocent despite
being called a criminal. He was locked up for practicing the Falun Gong exercises. The police beat
him up, handcuffed him, and they even shoved towels into his mouth to try and make him stop
practicing. Five vicious criminals who are from the Committee of Activists were ordered by police to
brutally beat Pan. Other Falun Gong practitioners including, Cheng Yonghe did not give in despite all attempts by
those who imprisoned them. One day in March the whole prison was under alert. They were dragged to
the Strict Supervision Group where they had towels shoved into their mouths. During the next few
months many things were done to them. They were not given enough food and other basic human
necessities. They were forced to run 3 or 4 hours as punishment. They were also punished by being
forced to stand straight under the sun for long and inhumane periods of time. Here are some cases of individuals who were tortured for their belief in Falun Gong at the Deyang
Prison. Mr. Xu Renwu is 73 years old. He is also a Falun Gong practitioner who would not give up his
practice. For standing up for his basic human rights he was brutally beaten for over a dozen times.
He was beaten to the point that his entire body was swollen. Cao Ping is another practitioner and he
was brutally beaten by the police; they shattered some of his bones. He was sent back to prison with
no option to obtain medical help. Wu Mingshan was forced to stand straight for 48 hours. He was forced to work during the day. At
night, the police surrounded him and brainwashed him with fabricated propaganda slandering Falun
Gong. They also forced him to write a "guarantee letter" promising to give up his belief
in Falun Gong. In July this year, 17 policemen tortured 15 Falun Gong practitioners who were in Group Three of
Deyang Prison. The police also forced other prisoners to torture practitioners. At least one police
officer and two criminals supervised each Falun Gong practitioner. They were not given enough food
and other basic human necessities. Practitioners were also forced into detention in isolation, which
is cruel psychological torture. Xu Changzheng and over 20 other Falun Gong practitioners were resolute in their statements of
innocence. They were brutally beaten and were forced to stand in the hot sun. While being forced to
run, Xu was beaten. As a result of the beating, his teeth fell out. He started a hunger strike as
his only means to speak out against the torture. The policemen in the prison also forced the criminals to participate in the persecution. Everyday
they gathered all the prisoners to shout slogans that slander Falun Gong. Policeman Xu claimed that
he knew how to perform every means of torture, he dared to use any means and would do anything to
get the practitioners to stop practicing. On July 4, this policeman made the following public
threat: "We need to carry out the policy and we need to kill 300 more. We will kill one after
another. No one will be able to survive." |
