Zhao Guibao and Others from Baimalong Female Labor Camp Torture and Kill Practitioners
(Clearwisdom.net) On August 6, 2000 the Baimalong Female Labor Camp
established the Falun Gong Unit. Since then the labor camp has escalated their
persecution of Falun Gong. The guards constructed many cages, and inside these
cages the guards physically and mentally torture practitioners. They also
routinely subject the 1,000-plus practitioners imprisoned in the camp to
brainwashing. The guards ask a practitioner whether she'd continue to practice Falun Gong
as soon as the practitioner is taken in. They tell those who say "yes"
to this question that they will not leave the camp until they give up the
practice. After this, they drag the practitioner away and beat her using
electric batons. Then they turn the practitioner over to more than ten former
practitioners who had turned against Dafa to continuously torture the
practitioner. They force the practitioner to sit in in a room and don't allow
her to move any part of her body. Forcing the practitioner to look straight
ahead at all times, they show videotapes that defame Falun Gong. The
practitioner may also be forced to read booklets and brochures designed to
deceive practitioners into giving up the practice. Some practitioners do not see
daylight for over 6 months. If a practitioner resists even a little, they beat
her up. If a practitioner moves her hand, leg, or mouth, they say she has
violated the regulations. As punishment, merit points are deducted and used to
calculate extra jail time to be added to her sentence. Lei Baoliang, 57, is a practitioner from Chenzhou. In a single day the camp
took 5,200 points off and added 52 days of jail time to her sentence. In
addition to this, they always take off points in the monthly "mental
restructuring class." Baimalong Female Labor Camp was the first to
specifically target practitioners' minds in their persecution. In their own
words, "If you are not afraid of jail, we'll make you crazy, handicapped,
and lock you up until you die. We'll see how long you can practice then." The labor camp even sent practitioners to mental hospitals. Yang Youyuan is a
62-year-old practitioner from Huaihua. She remains very steadfast in practicing,
even though they hung her up by her handcuffs over 100 times. In early September
2000 the prison guards said that she was diagnosed with schizophrenia, and sent
her to Zhuzhou Mental Hospital. When we saw her 10 days later, she had been
tortured and her eyes looked lifeless. It took her a year to recover. In
addition to this, the prison guards added a year to her sentence. It is a common practice for the guards in the labor camp to inject
practitioners with a large amount of Thorazine, * as well as other drugs that
disrupt the central nervous system. Xia Ting is a 30-year-old practitioner from
Suzhou. She worked in Shenzun after she graduated from college. She was arrested
while giving out Falun Gong flyers in Hunanxiangtan. She was illegally sentenced
to one and a half years in the labor camp. She went on a 42-day hunger strike
protesting the persecution. Zhao Guibao and Lu Yongquan (known as the "evil
couple" in the camp) injected Xia Ting with a large amount of Thorazine.
This caused Xia Ting to suffer from amnesia and lose her ability to walk and
maintain her balance. In addition, the guards added a year to her sentence and
forced her family to pay for the drugs that were given to her. Practitioner Hu Yuehui, 42, is from Yiyang City. Because she was steadfast in
cultivation and refused to wear the prison uniform, the guards beat her with
electric batons, and she lost conscious numerous times. She went on a hunger
strike during her final year and a half in the camp. During the hunger strike
the guards injected her with a lot of psychotropic drugs, which affected her
mental stability greatly. When her family came to visit her, the guards insulted
her in front of her family. They said that the drug was albumin and charged her
family over 10,000 Yuan [an average urban worker's monthly salary is about
500 Yuan]. Practitioner Liu Caiyun, 34, is from Yongzhou. She went on a hunger strike
for 8 months. The guards forcibly injected her with psychotropic drugs on
numerous occasions. These drugs caused her legs to go numb, and she was unable
to take care of herself for a long time. The guards ordered criminal inmates to
beat her. Once, a drug addict by the name of He Xueyan cut Liu Caiyun's forehead
and caused to profuse bleeding. They had to send her to the hospital to have the
wound stitched closed. In April 2002 the guards hurried to get her family to
take her back home. Liu Caiyun died 4 days after returning home. The guards use bamboo tubes to force-feed practitioners, and invented a metal
device to open the jaw. Their force-feeding methods have injured, and in some
cases handicapped, a few hundred practitioners. Sometimes it has even killed
them. The bamboo tube is about 15 centimeters long and 2.5 centimeters in
diameter. It's sharpened at an angle. They have about 7 to 8 people holding the
practitioner's hands, legs, and nose. They then use the metallic device to open
up the jaw and, suppressing the tongue using the tube, force-feed them gruel.
When the gruel arrives in the throat through the tube, it's very difficult to
swallow. So they press the tube further down, but this only causes more
obstruction in the throat. This also seals the mouth and prevents the
practitioner from breathing. It's very easy to suffocate this way. The lungs of
practitioners who have survived numerous force-feeding sessions are often
damaged. Practitioner Zuo Shuchun, 42, is from Changsha City. She was killed by this
force-feeding technique. When her only family member, an underage son, came to
take her body back, the labor camp officials told him that she died from high
blood pressure and a heart attack. Practitioner Cao Jianzhen, 52, is from Yiyang. The guards broke three of her
ribs, so she couldn't eat. Zhao Guibao and Lu Yongquan said that she was on a
hunger strike. They force-fed her, causing her to bleed internally. She was very
weak because of her injuries when her family took her home, and she died soon
after. Practitioner Chen Yulan, 40, is from Changde. In October of 2002 they sent
her to the "Fortified Attack Unit." They knocked her teeth loose and
her face was swollen for a long period of time. The guards kicked her lower body
repeatedly, and she bled for a long time. Practitioner Lin Chunxiang, 55, is from Huaihua. In 2003 she went on a hunger
strike for 49 days. When the guards force-fed her she passed out. She didn't
recover for 3 hours. The guards always team up with prisoners and those who have turned against
Falun Gong to viciously torture the practitioners. They stuff dirty towels,
socks and toilet paper into practitioners' mouths every day. Prisoner Liu Xiaoyu
is expert in various kinds of torture methods, so they sent her to the
"Fortified Attack Unit." These people have brutally tortured many
practitioners. Liu Yuwei was beaten badly, and her whole body became covered with festering
sores. Her sores still oozed pus 3 months after the beating. Practitioner Cao Xianghui, 56, is from Yueyang. She was sent to the
"Fortified Attack Unit" three times. She passed out many times from
the beatings. During this time she wasn't allowed to sleep. Chang Lan is an associate professor from Xiangtan. They handcuffed her and
made her stand in a tub of water. They made her stand still without closing her
eyes for 8 days and nights. After this, her feet were festering. Her father once
taught Zhao Guibao and Lu Yongquan, (who oversaw torture methods in the camp),
and she had at one time been their classmate. He Yingxin is a professor from Hunan Agricultural University. They hung her
by her handcuffs for 40 days. Her flesh was torn away and bones were exposed and
damaged. Chen Ouxiang was handcuffed with hands behind the back for many days and
nights. They made her watch videos that defame Falun Gong. If she moved even a
bit they beat her. On November 26, 2002 she was thrown to the floor and passed
out. The prisoners strangled her from behind, and she stopped breathing. The
whole labor camp was on high alert after this incident and tried to prevent any
information from leaking out (the guards on duty were: Zheng Xia and Ding Cailan,
86-1387333526 (C). The guards withheld practitioners' salaries and other fees for a prolonged
period of time, and took the money for themselves (in the labor camp, prisoners
are paid about 7 to 9 Yuan per month). They always move the practitioners
around. Whenever they move a practitioner, that practitioner will lose their pay
for months. Some haven't been paid for over a year. The police ransacked many of
the practitioner's houses, so they no longer have any savings. Many can't even
buy toilet paper. Those who went on hunger strikes were dragged out for
injections, and the guards charged up to tens of thousands Yuan for the drugs.
Ninety-five percent of the time, when a practitioner was released, the guards
would charge the family a few thousand Yuan for "medicine." Baimalong Female Labor Camp has been viciously torturing practitioners, but
they call their action "treating the practitioners like a gentle spring
rain." They make up many lies to fool the public. The practitioners, even
after much torture, continue to practice, and this frightens those who oppose
Falun Dafa. As of this writing, the Baimalong Female Labor Camp is busy trying
to conceal evidence of their crimes. But how can this kind of evil be concealed? Hunan Zhuzhou Baimalong Labor Camp list of those involved in the persecution: Huang Yongliang, male, 53, is the director of Baimalong Labor Camp and the
main perpetrator of the torture of practitioners. 86-1390843906 (M) Zhao Guibao, male, 38, is the deputy director of the labor camp.
86-13607332316 (M) Lu Yongquan, female, 36, is the wife of Zhao Guibao. She's the health section
chief. She and her husband came to power by persecuting practitioners. They were
originally doctors in the camp. Now they are in charge of torture methods,
force-feeding, injecting psychotropic drugs, etc. They are in charge of most of
the bloody persecutions in the camp. Yi Jine, female, 46, is the political commissar of the labor camp, and deputy
party committee secretary. 86-13873335222 (M) Ding Cailan, female, 36, was originally a team leader at the forced labor
camp. She was later transferred to a brainwashing class and received recognition
for her role in the persecution. 86-13873335268 (M) Tan Xiangqian, male, 38, is Baimalong Labor Camp's special force unit leader.
For 4 years he helped the leaders in Baimalong Labor Camp torture practitioners.
He has killed 5 practitioners, and wounded countless others. * The psychotropic drug Thorazine (also known as Aminazin, Chlorpromazine,
Largactil, Thorazine or Wintermin) is a strong tranquilizer that used in the
treatment of psychiatric patients. Thorazine in particular can have powerful
side effects, such as tardive dyskinesia (a serious, irreversible neurological
disorder), tardive dementia (a global deterioration of her mind and mental
faculties caused by the drugs), general dulling of awareness, emotional numbing,
and cognitive dysfunction. Symptoms of tardive dyskinesia involve uncontrollable
movement of various body parts, including the body trunk, legs, arms, fingers,
mouth, lips, or tongue. According to Amnesty International's medical advice, these drugs are not in
themselves sinister. There are specific disorders for which they are prescribed,
but they should be administered by qualified doctors, and their use monitored.
In the light of cases of torture and ill-treatment of Falun Gong practitioners,
and in the absence of evidence that they suffer from any psychiatric disorder,
it is evident that the administration of such drugs are a punitive measure. In
other words, Falun Gong practitioners have been inappropriately administered
psychotropic drugs in order to punish them for their spiritual belief in Falun
Gong. January 29, 2004
