Commentary: Comparing the South Africa Shooting with the Jiang Group's Devious and Indirect Methods of Killing Practitioners in China
By Gu Anru
(Clearwisdom.net) An evaluation of the shooting incident on the night
of June 28 in South Africa shows that there were five Falun Gong practitioners
in the vehicle, yet only the driver, David Liang, was wounded in both legs and
the car was damaged. There are some people who apparently do not take exception
to an incident like this. They do not consider such a critical case of being
shot by hired killers on a highway as being monstrous. In fact, if the details
were to be carefully considered, one would see after calm and sober
deliberation, the sinister and shocking nature of this crime. Intent of the Premeditated Murder in South Africa - To Destroy the Car, Kill
the Passengers, Conceal the Evidence and Escape Responsibility For the Crime The intent lays in the plan to destroy the car, kill the passengers and
destroy all evidence at the same time, thus escaping responsibility for the
crime. From the noticeable bullet holes on the car, left by the hired gunman, one
can see that they are all at the level of the car tires. David Liang's injuries
and the severe damage to the car all fit into a specific theory. It is obvious
that the motive of the assassin was not to shoot at the people in the car, but
to shoot at the base of the car, especially at the tires or the fuel tank. If he
intended to shoot the people in the car, the assassin would have aimed higher.
The wounds on David Liang's feet showed that the shots were fired at the lower
part of the car. The extremely powerful AK47 bullets penetrated the body of the
car. At that moment, the car was traveling at 100 to 110 kilometers per hour
(approximately 65 miles per hour), on a highway where 120 kilometers per hour
speed was legal. The hired gun shot at the lower part of the car to make the
tires blow out, causing the car to go into a spin and possibly overturn. Under
such conditions it was highly likely that the fuel tank would ignite and
explode. This would incinerate the car, including everyone in it, thus leaving
no evidence of the car having been shot at. The South African police in a very carefully worded statement insinuated that
the incident was "attempted murder;" thus, the investigation was
initiated with a reasonable explanation. Even though the hired killers did not succeed in their deeply disturbing
plan, the logical conclusion after careful analysis of the facts indicates a
well-laid out, calculated plan, carried out with vicious and sinister intentions
by those who would benefit most. It is worth emphasizing that such forms of indirect murder of Falun Gong
practitioners are typically and frequently used in China. Just to name a few:
force feeding, strait jacket torture, and injections of nerve damaging drugs and
other drugs that damage the body are also forms of indirect murder. Devastating Nature of Forced Feeding -- Hundreds of Lives Lost Inhuman force-feeding is one of the methods used to devastate Falun Gong
practitioners. Given the frequency of the incidents, it has become known that
force feedings are carried out in various forced labor camps and hospitals
throughout China. Numerous cases during the persecution provide clear evidence
that the forced feeding of Falun Gong practitioners on hunger strike in protest
of the persecution is not done to nourish but to torture. Those involved in the forced feeding are usually neither doctors nor nurses,
but police, forced labor camps employees, or even criminal inmates. They tie up
the Falun Gong practitioners, use metal tools to forcibly pry open their mouths,
and in the process cut their lips, break their teeth and injure their throats.
Thereafter, filthy, rough vulcanized rubber or plastic tubing without
lubrication is inserted through the mouth or nasal cavity, so the force-feeding
of the practitioners can proceed. In the process of inserting the tubes, they
deliberately insert and withdraw the tubes several times to induce pain and
suffering. Sometimes, after inserting the tubing, they move the tube in and out
to damage the mouth, nasal cavity and the throat until they bleed. The nose,
mouth and esophagus of the practitioners often bleed, and they suffer intense
pain, feel nauseated, vomit and cough violently. The so-called "food" is actually a concentrated salt solution,
uncooked corn meal mixed with water, hot pepper solution, and even strong
alcohol and medical stimulants. Some practitioners that were force-fed had hot
chili powder sprinkled into their eyes and mouths, which caused unbearable pain.
Some of the food was forced into the wind-pipe, which damaged the lungs. Some
practitioners died from suffocation as a result of the food being forced into
the lungs. A large number of Falun Gong practitioners have died on the spot. All
the Falun Gong practitioners that were force-fed suffered bleeding from the
mouth and nose, extensive swelling of the abdomen, and intense and unbearable
pain in the stomach. Some even vomited large amounts of blood. This obvious intent of this devastating force-feeding is to apply continuous
torture until the practitioners can no longer endure the pain and abandon their
resolve. Thus, the wicked people would have achieved their "transformation
rate" quota, as required by the higher-level officials. According to statistics, of the practitioners who have been tortured to
death, 10% have died from forced-feeding. "Strait jacket Torture" - Deaths Without Spilling Blood The straitjacket torture - The jacket itself is made of fine canvas. It is
put on the victim from the front and tightened from behind the back. The sleeves
are about 10 inches (25 cm) longer than the victim's arms, and they have straps.
They force practitioners to wear this jacket, and then cross and tie their arms
behind their backs. Then they pull their arms up over their shoulders toward the
front of their chests, tie up the practitioners' legs and hang them up in the
air from windows. At the same time, they gag practitioners' mouths with cloth,
put earphones in their ears and continuously play messages that slander Falun
Dafa. According to an eyewitness account, both arms of the victims are
immediately injured. The tendons and bones of the shoulders, elbows, and wrists
are torn and fractured. When the torture is prolonged, the spinal cord is
fractured and the result is an extremely painful death. The Clearwisdom.net reported that certain people in the know at a Province
administration of justice department revealed that the "strait jacket"
torture was adopted by the "610 Office" (1) of the Central Government
of Communist China and the various subordinate offices under its control. In April, 2003, the "610 Office" of the Central Government of
Communist China and its administration of justice department convened a meeting
in Hebei Province. They ordered the forced labor camps to launch the so-called
"Spring Thunder Operation." This was a "Concerted Effort in the
Transformation" of Falun Gong practitioners. At the meeting, the "610
Office" of the Central Government of Communist China and its administration
of justice department ordered the "advanced experience of
transformation" at certain forced labor camps in Hebei and Shanxi
Provinces. It meant that they were to use the "strait jacket" torture!
The forced labor camps at various provinces were told to strictly carry out the
order. Soon after, on June 4, news was received that three Falun Gong practitioners
had suddenly died at the Shibalihe Female Forced Labor Camp, Henan Province.
After verification, it was found that the tragedy was caused by the forced labor
camp using the "strait jacket" torture. On June 15, there was further
news that since April 22, more Falun Gong practitioners were murdered by the
same process, and that amongst the victims were elderly people of more than
sixty years of age. According to informed persons, every level of the "610 Office"
received strict orders that the position of the police officers, their promotion
or demotion, wages, bonuses and continued connection with the Office depended on
carrying out these orders. Under the orders of the central "610
Office" , every local "610 Office" must coerce and instigate the
forced labor camp personnel and the police officers to perform the savage
tortures. After the occurrence of deaths, the central "610 Office"
even explicitly announced: there must not be any investigations of the labor
camps or the perpetrators of the related incidents. Alarming Use of Various Dangerous Medications -- Several Thousand Persons
Persecuted, Dozens Killed, Nearly a Hundred Such Cases in Hospitals On March 3, 2003, Clearwisdom.net published a letter from a retired worker
from the Dalian Port Office, Liaoning Province that described in detail the
experience of having been injected with dangerous and damaging drugs at the
Lushun 215 Unit of the Mental Hospital. This caused deep concern among the
people. Discussed below is the detailed record of the Mental Hospital conducting the secretive, disturbing and poisonous persecution against Falun
Gong practitioners. "I was detained in the mental hospital for over four months, during
which I always felt dizzy and drowsy from the daily injections of the medicine.
I also felt nauseous and weak, and my body retained water and became bloated. My
whole body had become totally disfigured. What was even more painful was that I
was required every morning to go with the mental patients to a "club"
for the so-called "mental treatments," which included singing and
dancing. The two of us could only sit in the last row and recite the Fa. "Four months later, the Ward Chief contacted my work unit and they sent
someone to pick me up. When I left the hospital, the Chief walked me to the
front entrance with guilt written all over his face. Not long after leaving the
hospital, my eyes began to fester, and even opening them became difficult. The
insides and outsides of my ears also started to fester and ooze yellow fluid, as
did my scalp and neck. It caused itchiness and heart-wrenching pain. I finally began to understand the significance of the Ward Chief's
expression, as well as the guilty look that was written all over his face . He
was well aware of the side effects of the medication I was injected with. He
clearly knew what the medication would do to me. "After that, I read on the Net about the many Falun Gong practitioners
that were persecuted at the Mental Hospital. One Falun Gong practitioner asked
the doctor why, although he had no hatred or enmity toward the doctor, why the
doctor treated him like that. The doctor replied that he had no alternative, as
the orders came from above. The doctor could not sacrifice his employment
because of him. The doctor asked him not to run away as it would not be any use,
because he would either waste away or die. Even the hospital could do nothing
about it. The festering began in the summer of 2002. To date, the insides and outsides
of my ears and scalp still ooze yellow fluid. The worst festering that I endured
occurred during the two years between 2000 and 2002. Were it not for being a
Falun Gong practitioner, I would have become completely consumed and possibly
would have died. Old acquaintances that saw me couldn't bear to see me looking
like that, and after learning what had happened, they all cried, and commented
that the Party is so harmful, damaging all that is good and decent!" According to incomplete statistics, the indiscriminate misuse of psychotropic
drugs to persecute Falun Gong practitioners is prevalent throughout China.
Several thousand mentally sound Falun Gong practitioners have been forcibly sent
to mental hospitals and drug addict's rehabilitation centers. Many were forcibly
injected or force-fed with various types of nerve damaging drugs. They were also
subjected to electric shocks, being tied up with ropes for prolonged periods,
and force-fed. Amongst them are many who had been imprisoned for lengthy
periods, with most serving more than two years. Because of such atrocious
treatment, a number of them are suffering from loss of sight, and some have
become hard of hearing. Some are completely or partially paralyzed, some of them
are suffering from amnesia, some have become mentally disturbed, becoming slow
in their reaction, some have emotional instability, some have disappeared, some
suffered serious internal injuries, and dozens have died. There are at least a
hundred provincial, municipal, county and regional mental hospitals involved in
the persecution. From the Zeng Qinghong hired killers case in South Africa to the Jiang
group's persecution of Falun Gong practitioners who live by the principles,
"Zhen, Shan and Ren" (Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance), one
can see their fundamental evil nature. They use a lot of devious and indirect
methods to kill practitioners without spilling any blood. More and more people
have clearly seen that the Jiang group's regarding
"Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" as the enemy reveals their
fundamental nature: sinister, violent and without scruples. To condemn and
eradicate this malignant tumor in human society is not only a necessity for the
future of the world, it is also the combined responsibility of every one of us. Notes: (1) "610 Office": an agency specifically created to persecute
Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the
Party and all other political and judiciary systems.
