Falun Dafa Practitioner Ms. Jiang Chunxian from Dehui City, Jilin Province Tortured to Death at Heizuizi Women's Prison
(Clearwisdom.net)
Ms. Jiang Chunxian is a 34-year-old resident of the No.5 Commune in Gaotaizi
Village, Dafangshen Town, Dehui City, Jilin Province. She was sentenced to 8
years in prison on January 15, 2004, and sent to the Heizuizi Prison in
Changchun City on the same day. Due to her tuberculosis peritonitis, the prison
rejected her. With complete disregard for her life, the Dehui City Court issued
an enforcement order, and sent her to the prison on January 16. She died on
February 19, 2004 from the persecution.
Upon finding out where she was, her family went to visit her in the prison on
January 30. She was in relatively good spirits, but very pale, especially her
lips, and she was passing bloody stools. Her family visited her again on
February 6, and found her very sick. Worried about her health, her family came
to visit her on February 18 for a third time, when she was severely ill had to
be pushed around in a wheel chair, and spoke with a weak voice. Her family
members strongly requested to 2 male police officers on duty release her on
medical parole, but their request was denied because she hadn't served at least
half her term.
Around midnight of February 19, the prison police notified her family that
Ms. Jiang had died. They said she was sent to the Baiqiuen Medical College
Hospital around 4 p.m. on February 19, and she died half hour later due to
suddenly heart failure.
The Health Officer of the prison, Gong Yunxia, told the family members that
Ms. Jiang was sent to the emergency room at the hospital on the afternoon of
February 19, but her family found her body still at the prison. Whether Ms.
Jiang died in the hospital or in the prison is still a question.
Ms. Jiang never had heart disease, but the fact that the Prison
Administration said she died from heart problems, seemingly falsifying her
medical record, is just not convincing.
Her family discovered that at the back of her body, an excessively large
pooling of blood had occurred, and that there were two large red areas on the
insides of her thighs. These wounds proved that Ms. Jiang was tortured, perhaps
with an electric baton.
In only two weeks, Ms. Jiang's physical condition changed rapidly. She wasn't
able to walk on her own power and had to be pushed out with a wheelchair the
last time her family visited her. What kinds of physical and mental tortures had
she received during this period? There needs to be an investigation as to
whether she had been forced to give up her practice.
The prison administration responded to her family's questions with lies,
avoiding the facts, and trying to cover up the truth. They forced her family to
have her body cremated quickly, before it could be checked.
Before she was sent to Heizuizi Prison, Ms. Jiang was arrested on November 7,
2002, and was tortured both physically and mentally for more than 400 days. She
was tortured with the "Big Hang Up," method, brutally force-fed, shocked by
electric batons, and beaten in many ways. Then she was tortured to death. All
this in just one short month! The family sent her 10-year-old child to stay with
her father's parents who were farmers and very ill.
