Charges Against Wanjia Forced Labor Camp Authorities Who Tortured Falun Dafa Practitioner Zhang Hong to Death By a Falun Dafa practitioner
(Clearwisdom.net) To All Officers of the People's High Procuratorate of Heilongjiang Province
and the People's Intermediate Procuratorate of Harbin City: The People's Supreme Procuratorate issued an announcement concerning
"Launching a campaign to severely punish the government officials who have
committed the five crimes." (1) To support this campaign, we supplied part
of the evidence against several Wanjia Forced Labor Camp police who tortured
Falun Dafa practitioner Zhang Hong, resulting in her death. We do this so that
you may further investigate this matter, severely punish the perpetrators, and
restore dignity to the law and establish the innocence of Falun Dafa
practitioners. Harbin City Falun Dafa practitioner Zhang Hong was tortured to
death on July 31, 2004, in Wanjia Forced Labor Camp Falun Dafa practitioner Zhang Hong from Harbin City was tortured to death in
Wanjia Forced Labor Camp (see addendum for detailed evidence) solely because she
refused to give up her belief in "Truthfulness, Compassion and
Tolerance." Brutal techniques of torture caused her wrongful death to occur
within just nine short days. We request that the Provincial and City
Procuratorates make fair judgments on the case as soon as possible in order to
more quickly halt the ongoing genocidal persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners,
to maintain the dignity of the law and social stability, and to return fairness
to Falun Dafa practitioners. We here publicize the criminal evidence implicating
the major perpetrators who tortured Falun Dafa practitioner Zhang Hong to death. We request: In the campaign of severely punishing those who have committed any of the
"five crimes," we believe that procuratorates at various levels will
find Wanjia Forced Labor Camp Director Lu Zhenshan and his assistants guilty and
will punish them according to the law. It is by the natural law of heaven and
earth that one must pay with his life for committing murder and must pay with
money if one owes a debt. Punishments from both this law of righteousness and
from the law of the land await whoever has committed crimes. Outline of the Crimes Committed by Prison Police Officers Zhao Yuqing and Yao

Article 17, 232, 234, 251, 397, 399; World Human Rights Declaration
Article 9 and 18. Forcing Falun Dafa practitioners unjustly
detained in the prison to write the "Three Statements." The
unyielding practitioners were subjected to tortures like the "Big
Hang-up," electric shock with batons, sitting on a metal chair,
squatting for long time, being punched and kicked, deprivation of sleep
and water, deprivation of the rights to go to the bathroom, to see
visiting family members, to seek the right of appeal, and to read legal
books. Forcing practitioners to watch videos slanderous of Falun Dafa and
its founder. Forcing them to recite "pledges," "prison
regulations" and the "Five Don'ts" (fabricated rules for
spiritual persecution). Forcing practitioners to repeatedly answer
questions and write the "Three Statements." Humiliating
practitioners, illegally charging fees and seeking bribes, etc. Forcing practitioners to give up their
belief, leading to injuries, insanity and death. Death sentence and deprivation of the
political right to life. Zhao Yuqing and Yao Fuchang are policemen who for two years have been
entering the female brigades. According to an arrangement with their superiors,
they have violated the Justice Department regulation: "Male police officers
may not manage female detainees." To the Falun Dafa practitioners who refused to write the "Three
Statements," Zhao Yuqing said, "The government does not follow reason.
Because we cannot win any arguments with you, we simply punish you with forced
squatting, forbidding you from speaking and demanding that you write the 'Three
Statements.' Even if the Party were to call white black, and black white, we
would still remain tools of its enforcement because the Party pays our
salaries." Yao Fuchang stared at the Falun Dafa practitioners who refused to write the
"Three Statements" and said, "If you still refuse to renounce
your belief, I will shock you with electric batons. To prevent me from having to
use this method of torture, who would like to write?" The prison police at Harbin City's Wanjia Forced Labor Camp tortured and
killed Falun Dafa practitioners again and again because they had the support of
Police Chief Lu Zhengshan. From the summer of 2002 through the fall of 2003, Lu
Zhengshan had set up his office in the intensive training camp and personally
directed the persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners. We would also press
charges against this chief perpetrator. During his tenure, nearly a hundred
practitioners were injured, paralyzed, driven insane or killed from the
tortures. Lu Zhengshan proclaimed, "You can hate me for torturing Falun
Gong practitioners, because they did what I ordered them to do." Home phone number of practitioner Zhang Hong's family: 86-451-82107266. Persons Involved in Zhang Hong's Death by Torture at Wanjia Forced Labor
