The Shibalihe Female Labor Camp in Henan Province Brutalizes Over 120 Dafa Practitioners Using a Torture Called "Tying the Rope"
April 14, 2003
(Clearwisdom.net) Since Jiang's regime started its persecution of Falun
Dafa, the Shibalihe Female Labor Camp in Henan Province has illegally detained
and brutally tortured Dafa practitioners. Led by the heads of the labor camp,
including Wu Hongru, Zhou Xiaohong and Gao Mingxu, and the division heads,
including Jiang Yanling, Min Yumei and Ying Meiling, the unlawful personnel of
the labor camp have cruelly tortured over 120 firm Dafa practitioners detained
in the camp using a torture called "tying the rope,"* to force them to give up
cultivating Dafa. (For a detailed description for this and other forms of
torture used in forced labor camps,
see

The officials and their criminal conduct:
The head criminals:
Wu Hongru, male, the head of the
labor camp
Zhou Xiaohong, female, the head of
the camp in charge of persecuting Falun Gong,
Gao Mingxu, male, the head of the
camp
Wang Yan, female, the head of the
camp
Guo Hongyan, female, the head of the
administration section
Chen Lanying, female, the head of the
security equipment section
Criminal conduct:
At the end of 2001, they plotted an event to persecute all Dafa practitioners
detained in the labor camp using the torture of "tying the rope." During the
event, over 120 Dafa practitioners detained in the camp were tortured, resulting
in wounds all over their bodies and extreme suffering.
Criminals:
Jiang Yanling, female, 2nd division head Min Yumei, female, team head
Ying Meiling, female, team head Chen Lanying, police Zhang Nan, police Criminal conduct:
They tortured five Dafa practitioners, including Yang Yongsheng, Wang Deping,
Bai E, Fu Hongxia and Fan Jinping with the "tying the rope" torture.
In December 2002, the criminals found that Dafa practitioner Wang Deping had
Master Li's articles, so Jiang Yanling instigated drug addicts to violently beat
her, and then tortured her with "tying the rope." Wang Deping was hung
upside-down with her arms and legs tied up, causing her to suffer extreme
torment. Even now, her legs and back are numb and have no sensation.
At the end of 2002, Zhang Baoju was tortured with "tying the rope" because
she wrote a letter to expose labor camp head Wu Hongru's criminal conduct.
In the beginning of March 2003, Dafa practitioner Zhao Xilian (Henan Province
Agriculture University staff member) who had been tortured into tachycardia,
kept throwing up and could not work. Three criminals, Jiang Yanling, Min Yumei
and Ying Meiling, threatened her with the "tying the rope" torture to force her
to work. To protest against the persecution, Zhao Xilian went on a hunger strike
and refused to work. When she had been on the hunger strike for nearly one week,
the three criminals instructed the security personnel to drag Zhao Xilian down
the stairs. Zhao Xilian's head was injured in several places from the dragging
and the wounds kept on bleeding. They then tied up Zhao Xilian's emaciated body,
hung her up, spun her violently and beat her until she lost consciousness. Since
Zhao Xilian came back from the torture, she has been dazed; she cannot
straighten up her back when walking, and she has been very weak physically.
These three criminals did not consider her health condition and continued to
detain her illegally. They instigated some drug addicts to write a guarantee
letter** in Zhao Xilian's name, and pulled her hand to forcibly
obtain a fingerprint. The letter is now declared void.
Police Chen Lanying and Zhang Nan were personally involved in the beating and
torture of Zhao Xilian.
Jiang Yanling dragged Wang Deping and then tortured her by "tying the rope,"
in an attempt to force her by means of brutal torture to give up her belief in
Dafa.
Criminals:
Jia Meili, female, head of the 3rd division
Hu Zhaoxia, female, head of the 3rd division, the head criminal in charge of
persecuting Dafa practitioners.
Criminal Conduct:
They were directly involved in torturing all firm Dafa practitioners in 3rd
division using the "tying the rope" torture at the end of 2001. The Dafa
practitioners suffered greatly and they couldn't walk after the torture; but
they were still forced to do physical exercise, to attend military training and
to do forced-labor. Practitioner Wang Guihua was tied up for four days and
nights without sleep. Her legs were injured during the torture; she could not
stand still and frequently fell after being tortured.
The two criminals, Jia Meili and Hu Zhaoxia, who were involved many times in
brutally torturing Dafa practitioners, illegally extended the detention period
of about 30 practitioners because they refused to take the "exam."
In March of 2003, Dafa practitioner Yan Aiying tore up her camp prisoner ID
bed-card to protest against the persecution; she was tied up in a position
called "roasting a whole sheep" style [practitioner's hands and feet are tied
to a long pole or beam and hung parallel to the floor] and her arms and legs
were seriously injured from the torture. She was forced to write a guarantee
letter against her will. She now declares the letter is void. After the torture,
she was still required to do forced-labor.
We appeal to the international community to pay attention to the persecution
of Dafa practitioners by the lawless personnel in the Shibalihe Female Labor
Camp, and to offer their help to punish the evil criminals.
* Tying the ropes: A cruel method used to torture Dafa practitioners. The
police tie up the practitioner with a thin rope, circle the rope around her
neck, and tie her hands behind her back. Then the police would use all the force
they could muster to tighten the rope. The rope becomes tighter and tighter
around the body of the practitioner, and makes it more and more difficult for
her to breathe.
**Guarantee letter: Dafa practitioners are coerced under brainwashing and
torture to write these as proof that they have given up their belief; created by
the "610 Office."
