Persecution Cases of Practitioners in the Banqiao Forced Labor Camp, Tianjin City
10/1/2003 (Clearwisdom.net) Case 1 Victim: Ms Zhao Binhong, 30 years old People responsible: Team leaders and common prisoners Fact: Zhao Binhong had been shackled to a bare mattress for more than one
year because of her persistence in practicing the Falun Dafa exercises in the
labor camp. She was not allowed to have bed covers during the wintertime and had
suffered brutal beatings many times by the prisoners in the same cell. Later,
she suffered a mental collapse due to the torture. Every time she suffered a
breakdown, she would be taken to the bathroom and beaten brutally. Her family
had to be responsible for all her medical costs during the period when she was
detained in the labor camp. Her husband divorced her and no one took care of her
child. Her family suffered great pressure mentally as well as financially. Case 2 Victim: Ms Bai Hong, 57 years old People responsible: Guan Na, policewoman Han Fact: Bai Hong requested to practice the Falun Dafa exercises in 2001. For
this she was handcuffed to a metal fence outside on a snowy day for several
hours with only one thin woolen sweater on. Another time when she requested to
practice the exercises, she was confined to a solitary compartment and forced to
squat in one position for six days and five nights. Case 3 Victim: Ms Wang Guixiang (She was sentenced to one year forced labor camp in
April 2000 which was later extended by half a year) People responsible: Guan Na, Han, Zhang and six other people Fact: Because she requested to practice the exercises, she was taken to the
solitary room and was tortured brutally. They shocked her with electric batons
and beat and cursed her. They slapped her face with the book Zhuan Falun
and wrote Master's name on the paper to insult her. Several team leaders took
turns beating her for a whole day. One of her front teeth was broken due to the
beating. Every time she asked to practice the exercises, she would be cuffed
forcefully. Sometimes she was cuffed on the bed or from the ceiling. She was not
allowed to wear padded winter clothing in the cold weather. Case 4 Victim: Ms Lin Zhaoxia People responsible: Team leaders Fact: Because of requesting to practice the Falun Dafa exercises, she was
forced to run in the open field on a winter day with only thin clothes as
punishment. Because of refusing to be "brainwashed," after serving two
years in a labor camp, her detention was illegally extended for another year.
She is still detained in the Banqiao Labor Camp. Case 5 Victim: Ms Zhang Guiyun, Ms. Yao Yuyan and Ms Chen Yumei People responsible: Team leaders Fact: Because of requesting to practice the Falun Dafa exercises, several
practitioners were cuffed to the bare mattresses on cold winter days with no
covers at all. The team leaders ordered the prisoners in the same cell to
torture the practitioners for several months. Case 6 Victim: Ms. Wang Wenxiu and others People responsible: Guan Na, Policewoman Yang Fact: One practitioner was detained with some prisoners who were jailed as
sex offenders. After being brutally beaten for six days, the practitioner was
then forced to accept "brainwashing." Wang Wenxiu and some other
practitioners heard the news and went to the labor camp to talk to Guan Na,
wishing to stop the labor camp from committing evil deeds. However, she was
arrested and sentenced to the labor camp in May 2003. Case 7 Victim: Ms. Mu Xiangjie People responsible: Labor camp police Fact: She had been forced to stand in solitary confinement for seven days and
seven nights as punishment. Later she was sentenced to three years in a labor
camp because of appealing for Dafa in Beijing.
