Falun Dafa Practitioner Zhang Aijiao from Hebei Province Died After Being Tortured for 40 Days
(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Zhang Aijiao, female, 39 years old,
was a resident of the fourth group of Xiaonan village, Ganhe branch, Xiantao
city, Hubei Province. She was severely tortured by the Xiantao city's "610
Office" [an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with
absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other
political and judiciary systems] because she remained firm in her
cultivation of Falun Dafa. She died on May 24, 2002 because her wounds were too
severe to recover. This is another bloody crime that Jiang's regime committed.
Zhang Aijiao had a late-stage rheumatic heart disease before obtaining Falun
Dafa. She visited many hospitals and doctors in the country attempting to cure
her disease. She underwent surgery at Xiantao First People's Hospital. The
surgery did not cure her, but it did bring her family many debts. Zhang Aijiao
suffered the disease for a long time and finally lost hope and confidence. She
could not sleep at night or sit calmly. Her personality changed dramatically,
becoming short-tempered. Her family was in deep sorrow.
Zhang Aijiao then began to practice Falun Gong, in 1996. She treated herself
as a practitioner, and was strict with herself but tolerant of others. Her short
temper was gone and her heart disease was cured miraculously. She was in much
better health condition. Her husband stopped worrying about her health and
established a small factory, doing a very good business. Her neighbors witnessed
her changes and praise Falun Dafa. Her miraculous experience helped direct some
other predestined people to practice Falun Gong.
On July 20, 1999, Jiang's regime started to persecute Falun Gong for the fear
of "Truthfulness, Benevolence, Forbearance". Zhang Aijiao was in tragedy because
of the persecution. She was detained many times. She was forced to pay more than
10,000 Yuan in fines [average monthly pay of an urban worker is 500 Yuan].
Her family was harassed by the local "610 Office" and local police. In May 2001,
Zhang Aijiao was detained unjustly for the third time, this time for 136 days,
and forced to pay several thousand Yuan in fines. Less than one month after her
release, "610 Office" planned to send her to a brain washing class to further
persecute her. In order to escape from the persecution, she had to leave her
home to work in other cities. But the evil authority did not stop. They wrote a
"guarantee" that they "just wanted her to be at her home rather than sending her
to brain-washing class" and cheated her husband to convince her to come back
home. Several months after Zhang Aijiao returned home, around 5:00 pm on October
24, 2001 when Zhang Aijiao was cooking at home, more than 20 evil gangsters
suddenly broke in into her home. They forced Zhang Aijiao to go with them
without showing any identification or warrant. Her husband asked, "How could you
kidnap a person like this?" An officer claimed that they just wanted to ask
Zhang Aijiao to go to his office for a talk. Her husband replied, "What is it
that can not be discussed here and has to be in the office?" People around her
also said that it was unfair to arrest her. But these evil gangsters refused to
explain anything but forcefully arrest Zhang Aijiao and took her to the police
car. Her husband went to the office of the officer right after she was taken
away, but could not see anybody in the office.
Around 7 pm, Zhang Aijiao was arrested by police from the Xilirenkou police
station - 10 more km away from Xiantao city, where the base of Xiantao city "610
Office" is located. Dozens of Dafa practitioners have been tortured there. They
followed the scoundrels' ways to persecute the benevolent Falun Gong
practitioners by "defaming the practitioners' reputation, destroying the
practitioners' economic status, and torturing the practitioners to death." They
covered their crimes by lying to the outside that it was a Legal Education
Class. The whole building was remodeled to strengthen the wall and two cells
were built to torture the Dafa practitioners. Zhang Aijiao was detained in one
of the cells immediately after she was forced into the building. More than 10
thugs rushed in and beat Zhang Aijiao. Two of the evil men, Xu Bo and Du Xiaohua
used a bamboo strip to whip Zhang Aijiao's face and head. Zhang Aijiao was in so
much pain that she used her clothes to wrap her head and rolled on the ground.
After this evil group was tired out, they handcuffed her on a high window. They
didn't give her water and food and didn't allow her to sleep or use the
restroom. The second day a kind person took her down. Just after she came down,
the vicious Xu Bo suddenly came in and kicked Zhang Aijiao's face several times.
Zhang Aijiao lost her consciousness and could not get up. Her menstruation
stopped after only one day.
In order to protest the persecution, Zhang Aijiao began a hunger strike. The
"610 Office" manager, He Guohua (the vice director of the city "610 Office,"
cruel-hearted, directly responsible for the persecution of Zhang Aijiao), asked
more than 10 people to force-feed Zhang Aijiao. Zhang Aijiao refused to conform
to the force-feeding and her lips were torn. Sometimes the evil people
handcuffed her to inject her intravenously. After the injections, Zhang Aijiao
felt weak in her hands and legs and suffocated around her chest. She was
extremely weak. But the evil people did not let her go. Some days they put her
on the outdoor cement floor, and three people forced her to run laps. If she
could not run, they dragged her until her very thick jeans were torn from her
being dragged.
On the second day of Zhang Aijiao's detention, her husband found out that she
was detained in a brainwashing class. When he requested to see her, his request
was rejected, and the evil man Xu Bo threatened him, "If you keep asking, I will
take you inside and beat you too." Her husband was waiting outside worrying
about her. After about 2 weeks, a kind staff member let him in during the
absence of He Guohua. Her husband could not believe his eyes. The
used-to-be-healthy Zhang Aijiao had become terribly skinny. When he helped her
to take a shower, he found that bruises all over her body. The lower parts and
thighs had dozens of blue bruises. The bruises on her face and arms were
inflamed and swollen. Her stomach and back had clear footprints from kicking.
All these took place in just 15 days! Her husband felt that this is a hell on
earth! The next day, her husband found the local village administrators to show
evidence of the case and asked He Guohua to release Zhang for a hospital
treatment, but his request was refused.
After more than 40 days torture and beating, Zhang Aijiao had many internal
wounds. She was released because she was in a critical condition and the city's
"610 Office" was afraid of the responsibility in case she died. But they did not
stop harassing her until her death. Zhang Aijiao left this world on May 24th,
2002. She was outlived by two teenage children. This is a bloody debt owed by
Xiantao city's "610 Office." We solemnly warn the evil scoundrels who persecute
Falun Dafa practitioners: Your crime is condemned by heaven and earth alike.
Retribution will soon come if you don't stop and wake up!
