Shandong Province: Weifang Dafa Practitioner Zhang Liang on Hunger Strike at Hanting Detention Center (Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Zhang Liang is about 30 years old and a native of
Nanfuzi Village of Hanting Town, Hanting District, Weifang City, Shandong
Province. On the evening of April 24, 2004, he was arrested at his temporary
apartment by Weifang City police and agents from the National Security Agency.
(Practitioners Sun Xiaomei, Yang Guangmao and Tang Xiumei were also arrested
along with Mr. Zhang). He is now detained at Hanting District Detention Center.
Later, the Hanting police issued a formal arrest warrant. Starting May 19, 2004,
Zhang Liang began a hunger strike to protest against the persecution. Since July 20, 1999 Falun Gong has undergone illegal persecution. Zhang Liang
was arrested and detained several times because he refused to give up his belief
in "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance." The following story tells about the
persecution Zhang Liang has been subjected to since August 2003. On August 8, 2003, Hanting District's "610 Office" personnel and some of
Zhang Liang's relatives deceived Zhang Liang and his mother and sent them to a
brainwashing class at the Weifang City Industrial Management School. Because of
Zhang Liang's determination in Falun Dafa, the brainwashing class instructors Fu
Jinbin, Lou Jinhong, Wang Haowen and Guo Jing forced him to give up his faith by
torturing him with all kinds of methods. They imposed long-time physical
punishment on him. They forced him to stand still on the office days and nights
with no sleep. This lasted for more than half a month. Whenever he dozed off,
brainwashing assistant Ma Changling would pour water from his neck down and
assistant Qiu Shigang would brutally punch his legs with his fists. His legs
were badly swollen with purple bruises. He couldn't even wear slippers because
of his swollen feet. Instructor Wang Haowen didn't even allow him to wear the
slippers and asked him to stand on the floor bare footed. Even when he had to go
to the filthy toilet, he was not allowed to wear any shoes. After three months of persecution, he still refused to give in. The "610
Office" then sent him to the brainwashing class at the Weifang City's Changle
Forced Labor Camp. The policemen Zou Jintian, Ding Guihua, Han Yuehui and others
ordered criminal inmates Liu Diting and He Youming to torture him. At first,
they kicked and punched him. Then they started whipping his legs and palms with
a stick. In just one day, Zhang Liang suffered severe injuries. Bruises were all
over his body. Later, criminals Jiang Yu, Qu Hongbo, Wang Ruihu and He Youming
joined forces to torture him. At first they forced him to squat on a single
brick and not to step out one inch. They deprived him of sleep for five days and
nights. They tied his hands backward and forced him to sit with his legs
crossed. Then they tied his legs and feet so he couldn't move at all. The pain
was so unbearable that he started to groan. Moreover, they inserted toothbrushes
in-between the fingers on his left hand and twisted them. His fingers were
bleeding. Criminal Wang Haowen told four criminal inmates to teach him a
"lesson." They took off Zhang Liang's pants and whipped his legs with electric
wires. One day these four people forcibly dragged Zhang Liang into a room and tied
up his hands and feet with a rope. One after the other, they kicked him with
their knees. Jiang Yufei kicked Zhang Liang in his most sensitive body parts.
They even laughed when Zhang Liang was crying with pain. Also, during his
detention in the labor camp, policemen Ding Guihua, Fu and Han Yuehui shocked
him with electric batons. Phone numbers for some responsible offices and persons are listed below. Hanting District Police: Wang Zhihua: deputy secretary of Weifang communist party committee and
