Dafa Practitioner Zhang Jun From Jilin City Illegally Sentenced to Three More Years of Forced Labor
(Clearwisdom.net) Zhang Jun, a Dafa practitioner from Jilin City, was an employee at the
canteen of the 101 Dye Plant of the Ji Hua Company. When Jiang's regime began
the vicious persecution of Falun Dafa, Zhang Jun was kidnapped and illegally
sentenced to two years of forced labor by the Jilin Police Department, with the
assistance of the security office of the 101 Dye Plant. Zhang Jun was sentenced
because he refused to sign a so-called "guarantee statement" [a
statement declaring that the person is remorseful for practicing Falun Gong and
guarantees not to practice Falun Gong again, not to go to Beijing to appeal for
Falun Gong, and never again associate with any Falun Dafa practitioner.] After he had been detained for two years, the forced labor camp unfairly
added two more months to his term. When he was released, Zhang told his friends
and relatives about the inhumane torture he had suffered for more than two years
in the forced labor camp. Since Dafa practitioners insisted on being good people
based on the principle of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and refused to
give up their belief while in prison, they were viciously tortured by the police
using various means. For example, the police stuck acupuncture needles into the
bodies of the Dafa practitioners, and then shocked them with high voltage
electric batons. They would shock the Dafa practitioners with several electric
batons and would not stop until the batons ran out of power. Dafa practitioners
were given the worst meals in very small quantities, but even this could not
shake their righteous belief. Fellow practitioners in the prison encouraged each
other, helped each other, shared experiences, and held group hunger strikes to
protest the inhumane treatment. As a result, the police dispersed all of the
Dafa practitioners illegally detained in the Huanxiling forced labor camp in
Jilin City to different forced labor camps in other areas. After Zhang Jun was released, he was required to work in the security office
of the Jihua 101 Dye Plant, where he was responsible for cleaning. He was
strictly monitored. He was given only 10 Yuan a day for living expenses [500
Yuan is the average monthly income for an urban worker in China.] On February
16, 2003, when Zhang Jun went to a printing shop on Dadongmen Chaoyang Street in
Jilin City to print Dafa truth clarification materials that he had written, the
shop owner reported him to the Police Station on Nanjing Street. He was
kidnapped and detained for several days. Seeing that Zhang had nothing on him
other than his Dafa materials and therefore was not of much value, the police
tried to persuade him to write a "guarantee statement" in return for
letting him go home. Zhang refused. He was later transferred to the Jilin City
detention center, where authorities again tried to persuade him to write a
"guarantee statement," offering the same reward. Zhang Jun refused it
resolutely. After being detained for one month, Zhang Jun was illegally
sentenced to three years of forced labor. He is now detained in the Yinmahe
forced labor camp.
