Prolonged Hanging Kills Practitioners in the Fuyu Forced Labor Camp in Heilongjiang Province
(Clearwisdom.net) Part One At about 10:20 a.m. on March 3, 2003, Policeman Wang Quan of the Fuyu Forced
Labor Camp in Heilongjiang Province shouted obscenities, for no reason, at Falun
Dafa practitioner Fuchuan, who is from Tailai County, Heilongjiang Province. At
that time other practitioners in the room asked him "not to swear." However,
Wang Xuan did not stop, but began beating the practitioners. Dafa practitioners
in the room all demanded in unison to stop the beating. Then, all the prison
policemen came and began using force to drag the practitioners out of the room,
into the corridor. Practitioners who suffered from abuse while in detention: Fuchuan: Tailai County, Heilongjiang
Province Liu Mingshuang: Nianzishan District,
Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province Kong Xiangfeng: Qiqihar City,
Heilongjiang Province Cai Changjun: Kedong County,
Heilongjiang Province Sha Zhaojin: Tahe County,
Heilongjiang Province The five Dafa practitioners listed above were beaten by the police for over
20 minutes. The policemen knocked them down to the ground and then kicked their
chests, ribs, and heads with brutal force. As a result, practitioner Sha Zhaojin
lost consciousness, and suffered a 20 mm. (0.8 inch) bloody cut on his forehead.
The other four practitioners suffered from bruises on their eye-sockets, serious
congestion in their eyes, and bruises on their lower back, legs, and chest.
After the beating they could not on their own. The Deputy Head of the No. 4
Detachment, Han Shaokun, even openly directed policemen to beat up Falun Dafa
practitioners. The policemen who joined in the beating included Han Shaokun,
Wang Xuan, Huang Dianlin, Yang Xuefeng, Lu Jingfeng, and Tong Zhonghua. In the
past, Han has incited policemen to beat up practitioners many times. At the time of the beating, the director of the Political Department of the
Fuyu Forced Labor Camp, and other leading members from the Administrative
Office, were at the site where the beatings occurred. However no one came
forward to stop the beatings. Sha Zhaojin and Kong Xiangfeng lost consciousness
for more than 30 minutes but no one seemed to care about it. After the beatings,
the policemen ordered inmates Yang Xiaodong and Hu Zhenlong to drag the
practitioners into a guardroom (a place where the policemen used an steel cage
or an steel chair to lock up Dafa practitioners). Sha Zhaojin and Kong Xiangfeng
were locked to the steel chair. Their hands were locked behind their backs and
to the back of the chair, and their feet were locked to the legs of the chair.
They were restrained in this manner for more than 7 hours. After the incident, the Falun Dafa practitioners being held there asked the
labor camp officials to send the five injured practitioners to the hospital for
check ups and treatment. However, the prison policemen adopted delay tactics,
while the leading members of the detachment refused to meet with Dafa
practitioners. As of now, the five practitioners still have not been checked and
their wounds have still not healed. The vicious policemen often mentioned, "To
fix you up is just like playing a game." Policemen Huang Dianlin and Wang Xuan
often said, "Nobody would care if you were beaten to death," "This is the policy
of the country," "Even if you want to sue us you would not win." This clearly
shows that the policemen of the Fuyu Forced Labor Camp disregard the law and
cruelly deprive people's basic human rights. Part Two In the middle of April 2002, Fuyu Forced Labor Camp in Heilongjiang Province
handcuffed and hung Falun Dafa practitioners by their wrists for from 30 days to
as many as 120 consecutive days. In of the most serious cases, the Dafa
practitioner died after being hung up for so long. Since April 2, 2002, policemen Huang Dianlin, Wang Quan and Tong Zhonghua
hung Dafa practitioners to the head of the bunk bed which is about 2 meters
(about 6.5 feet) high and also changed the positions to handcuff the
practitioners behind their back so that their hands and body could not move.
Besides this, the policemen insulted the human dignity of the Dafa practitioners
with all kinds of foul language, and also taunted the practitioners. As for the
handcuffing and hanging time, it varied from ten to fifteen hours per day. Even
time permitted to use the toilet is strictly limited. Except for meal times
these practitioners were handcuffed and hung continually, all day, every day.
Because of the prolonged hanging, the Dafa practitioners' legs became very
swollen; some were even so serious that they had difficulty walking. Those who
were persecuted by being hung by their wrists include Fu Zhiyu, Zhou Shuyou, Luo
Yongquan, Liu Jingming, Huag Liyan, Chen Yanbo, Zhang Huabin, Wang Gguan Changan,
Chen Jihui, Zhen Yachen, Wu Hongjun, Cihai, and Lan Hongjun. Because practitioner Zhou Shuyou refused to cooperate with the persecution,
policemen Huang Dianlin, Wang Quan, and Tong Zhonghua tightened Zhou's handcuffs
and tried to turn around the handcuffs which caused Zhou's wrists to bleed. The
evil policemen also directed a group of approximately six inmates to hang Zhou
to the head of a bunk bed. Those who had experienced this type of hanging kindly
pointed out several times that what they were doing was against the law,
however, Huang, Wang and Tong said, "To deal with you people we do not need to
abide by law. We just want to fix you up in whatever way we like." After Huang Dianlin injured Dafa practitioner Wang Pingfa's arm, Huang, Wang,
and others asked the criminal offenders to make false testimony, and to
fabricate lies to trick the leaders of the detachment into extending the
practitioners' terms in the forced labor camp. The policemen also branded the
practitioners who advised them not to persecute Dafa practitioners with a charge
of "taking the lead in making trouble." Dafa practitioners Fu Zhining, Zhou
Shuyou, Zhen Yachen, Luo Yongquan, and some others were hung for more than 120
days, then had their terms extended from one to three months. The policemen clearly knew that Dafa practitioner Fu Zhiyu suffered from high
blood pressure and heart problems, owing to the prolonged persecution, however
the Number 4 Detachment did not provide treatment. Instead, policemen Huang and
Wang handcuffed him and others to the heat radiator which was about 200 mm.
above the ground. Owing to this repeated torture Fu Zhiyu died of cerebral
hemorrhage after the policemen removed his handcuffs. (Ref:

Fuyu Detention Center and illegally held for more than a year for not
cooperating with the persecution in the Fuyu Forced Labor Camp. By the end of
June 2002, Dafa practitioner Wang Baoxian (from Suihua City, Heilongjiang
Province) died from the torture. (Ref:
http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2002/8/30/25972.html) Not long after, another practitioner, Zhang Xiaochun died of torture. (Ref:
http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2002/7/8/23906.html) We appeal to all kind-hearted people around the world to recognize the evil
nature of the persecution by Jiang's political gang of scoundrels, reveal its
persecution of kind Dafa practitioners, and call for an end of this
unprecedented bloody persecution.
