Persecution against Falun Dafa Practitioners in Daqing City Forced Labor Camp, Heilongjiang Province
(Clearwisdom.net) In August 2000, the labor camp education section chief
Liu ordered Falun Dafa practitioners at Daqing Forced Labor Camp to study
so-called "Law knowledge" and then take a test. The practitioners
refused to cooperate since there were six questions in the test that slandered
Dafa. Liu slapped Dafa practitioner Du Guocong's face several times and
additionally punished him by making him stand without moving for over an hour.
On September 24, 2000, after personnel in the No. 2 Division of the Daqing
Forced Labor Camp beat practitioner Mr. Wang Bin to death, Liu said if it were
not for this criticism [of beating Wang Bin to death], any other measures
could be used until the practitioners gave up the practice. What kind of an
education section chief is he! His so-called "education" is about
beatings and cursing.
On October 24, 2001, officers of the No.1 Division of the Daqing Forced Labor
Camp broke into Dafa practitioner Mr. Bai Shuang's home, entering through the
balcony on the second floor, and brought him to the labor camp. After Mr. Bai
Shuang was placed in solitary confinement for 13 days, he was detained in the
conference room of the No.1 Division and was monitored by four prisoners. He was
not allowed to see any other practitioners and has been detained illegally until
now.
On October 25, 2001, over 20 Dafa practitioners at the Daqing Forced Labor
Camp, who had been on a hunger strike for several days to protest the
persecution, were tortured with such measures as force-feeding with high density
salt water or food mixtures, being tied up with thin ropes, being tied to a
metal chair, handcuffing and other abuses. Wang Yongxiang, who was the deputy
chief of the labor camp and in charge of persecution of Falun Gong, led and
conducted such brutal measures. The actions have been permitted and directed by
the people from the "610 Office" of Daqing City, the Judiciary Bureau
of the city, the provincial "610 Office," and the provincial Judiciary
Bureau. Some practitioners had been handcuffed to their beds throughout the
night, and some had been tortured for several consecutive days. [Note: The
"610 Office" is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun
Gong, with absolute powers over each level of administration in the Party and
all other political and judiciary systems.]
In January 2002, members of the No.1 Division of the Daqing Forced Labor Camp
organized practitioners to watch the CCTV [Government mouthpiece]
programs that spreads government propaganda and slanders Dafa. Police officer
Wang Yingzhou from the old No. 3 Division verbally threatened practitioners. The
practitioners immediately tried to stop him. Wang Yingzhou began to beat
practitioners and put two practitioners into solitary confinement for over a
day. After all practitioners in the No. 1 Division lodged a formal protest, the
police halted the punishment.
Before the Chinese New Year of 2002, the Daqing Forced Labor Camp prepared
eight metal chairs for use in torturing practitioners; four each for Division
No. 1 and Division No. 2.
On February 5, 2002, Zhang Bo, the political chief of No. 4 Group of No. 2
Division, often devised plots to persecute Dafa practitioners and ordered the
practitioners not to talk each other. The practitioners were even deprived of
the right to speak.
On February 8, 2002, practitioner Mr. Hou Baojun from Zhaoyuan County was
arrested and sent to the labor camp. He was detained illegally in the No. 2
Division and has been held into solitary confinement until the present time.
