Dafa practitioner Lin Chengtao suffered many kinds of
severe torture in Tuanhe Labour Camp that drove him to suffer a mental
breakdown. Research scientist Lin Chengtao of Consonancy Hospital was brutally
persecuted by policemen Wenlai Jiang, Zhenxiong Ni and others in the Second
Brigade after being kidnapped and sent to the Tuanhe Labour Camp. Even though
Lin Chengtao barely survived the inhuman physical punishment and torture, the
police continued to spare no effort to torture him mentally.
They publicized a letter that his wife wrote from Tiantanghe Women's Labour
Camp. After she was brainwashed, his wife actually suggested that the police in
the Second Brigade torture Lin Chengtao with the same methods that the
Tiantanghe Labour Camp used to violently "transform" her, such as shocking with
electric batons, sleep deprivation, etc. Mr. Lin was deeply injured by this. In July 2002, detainees in the labour camp witnessed a bloody wound on
Lin Chengtao's head. Later, they found out that police in the Second Brigade hit
his head against the wall. In November 2002, Lin once again went on a hunger
strike to protest the persecution against him. The terrified and guilty
policemen of the Second Brigade then secretly transferred him to the Fourth
Brigade and bound him on a bed to torture him further. Lin Chengtao, unable to
endure the long-term severe torture to both his mind and body, suffered a mental
breakdown. In order to cover their crime, Tuanhe Labour Camp shamelessly denied
their own responsibility, labelled Lin Chengtao insane, and sent him to a
hospital outside the labour camp on December 19, 2002. |
