The Persecution I Suffered in Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province
(Clearwisdom.net) I am a resident of Wanquan County, Zhangjiakou City,
Hebei Province. I began to practice Falun Dafa in May 1998. Since then I began
to get rid of all my bad thoughts, and purified my body and mind. On July 20, 1999, an unprecedented persecution of Dafa and Dafa practitioners
started. Ruthless people often harassed my family and my parents. I was
monitored by my workplace, and my personal freedom was restricted. During Spring
Festival 2000, my family and I went to visit my mother-in-law. I was abducted by
my workplace and brought to the police station in Wanquan Township for half a
day of detention (responsible person: Lu Bingying). In February 2000, because I signed a petition appealing to the government for
stopping the persecution of Falun Gong, I was fined 1,000 yuan [500 yuan is
the average monthly income of an urban worker] by the Wanquan County
Economics and Trade Committee, and I was also monitored (responsible people:
Zhang Bing, Yang Zhanyou). On June 25, 2000, my workplace tried to force me to give up practicing but
they failed. I was dismissed from my job with no salary (responsible people:
Zhang Bing, Factory Director Yang Huailiang, Secretary Lu Bingying, among
others). On December 16, 2000, I went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong and was
arrested in Tiananmen Square. I was sent to the Dongcheng District Police
Station, and then transferred to the Daxing Detention Center of Beijing--a place
specially used for detaining Dafa practitioners from out of town. I was put
through excruciating torture for one day and one night. I was put through what
is called, "carrying a sword on the back" [The practitioner's hands
are tied behind his back with one hand over the shoulder and the other hand
against the lower back. The police then apply a great deal of force to pull the
two hands toward one another and handcuff the two hands together]. I was
also shocked with an electric baton, burned with a cigarette, my hands were
beaten with a bamboo strips, I was beaten and kicked, and so forth. The police
spoke viciously, "No practitioner who hasn't confessed under these devices
and means can walk out of here." This just goes to show how cruel their
torture methods are. On December 18, 2000, I was sent by my workplace and police station to the
politics and law section of the Wanquan County Police Department (responsible
people: Li Fu, Zhang Bing, Fan Zhenbang). I was interrogated by Yang Yucai, and
I was abused and beaten by three police officers from the criminal police team
of the police department. Later, I was sent to the Wanquan County Detention
Center. On December 28, 2000, I was interrogated by the criminal police team of the
police department. I was forced to sit on a "tiger bench" for three
days and two nights, and I was also shocked with electric batons and abused ["tiger
bench" is a small bench practitioners are forced to sit-squat on, and not
move for long periods; it can be extremely painful] (assailant: Chang
Chunrong, a police officer named Cao, Xu Xianting, three police officers from
the criminal police team). In January 2001, I was interrogated again in the office of the detention
center. I was abused and tortured until my mouth and nose were bleeding. After
pouring cold water on me, police found I was still alive and they continued to
beat me up. Later a police officer named Wang, who was on duty in the office,
feared that I might die. He stopped them and sent me back to a prison cell
(assailant: Sun Xifu, and three other police officers). On March 21, 2001, I was sent to the Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp by the Wanquan
County "610 Office" and the politics and law section of the police
department (responsible people: Li Jijing, and two female police officers). The
Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp is just like a hell on earth. Every day we were
beaten, forced to do hard work, deprived of sleep and not allowed to go to the
bathroom. On March 21, 2001, at night I was taken to a dark room and beaten by prison
police (responsible people: male captain named Yang, female assistant captain
named Ma Li, female captain named Niu). On May 15, 2001, other practitioners and I were locked in a dark room. The
windows of this room were covered with paper, which made the room dark. We went
through forced brainwashing and brutal torture there. On May 18, 2001, I was taken away again. While one male captain was stepping
on me and one female captain was clutching my throat, I was shocked all over my
body with electric batons (assailant: Captain Ye Shuyi and a male captain from
the Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp). The following are responsible people and units who persecuted me: Lu Bingying: male, over 50 years of age, secretary of the Wanquan
