After The Truth About Falun Dafa Is Broadcast over a Loudspeaker in the Qijiang County Police Department, Practitioner Zhang Qiyong is Tortured to Extract a "Confession" By Falun Dafa Practitioners, Chongqing
(Clearwisdom.net) One day in mid May 2004, around 4:00am, the truth about
Falun Dafa was broadcast over a loudspeaker into the detention center at the
Qijiang County Police Department complex, Chongqing. The broadcast lasted over
20 minutes and awakened the guards to the realization that all their bad deeds
would be recorded and would have to be paid for. Zhang Qiyong, a Falun Dafa
practitioner who was detained there and on the verge of death due to
persecution, was questioned while being tortured and forced to "confess".
It is reported that police suspected there might have been some guards who
assisted in broadcasting the truth about Falun Dafa. Dormitories in the complex
of the police department were ransacked and guards were interrogated one by one.
An elderly female resident there was detained for a few days.
The Detention Center is located in the Qijiang County Police Department
complex. There are twenty wards in the Center. Each ward is monitored
twenty-four hours a day and the doors are kept closed all year long. Many Falun
Dafa practitioners have been or are being jailed in this detention center,
enduring physical and mental torture.
In the wee hours that day, the clear and pleasant music of Falun Dafa known
as "Pudu" could suddenly be heard accompanying the truth-broadcast in the
detention center. People in the wards shouted with astonishment: "It's a
broadcast of Falun Dafa!"
At the same time, the guards grew nervous. They ran around shouting as they
tried to find out where the broadcast came from. However, the loudspeaker
couldn't be found immediately, and the broadcast had already played for over
twenty minutes when it was finally located.
Guards later questioned and tortured Zhang Qiyong to extort a confession
despite the fact that he was on the verge of death already. He was forced to go
without sleep for six days. To hide their persecution of Zhang, the perpetrators
spread rumors that Zhang became psychotic after practicing Falun Gong and
committed suicide by jumping off the building. They interrogated Zhang's family
and kept threatening Zhang's step-mother, Wang Zaifen. They constantly pressured
Zhang's family to sign a notice of Zhang's detention and a warrant for his
arrest.
Zhang Qiyong was 29-years-of-age and a graduate of Sichuan University. He was
an employee of the Reimbursement Department, Qijiang County Branch, China Life
Insurance Ltd. Around 5:00pm on May 1st, 2004, Zhang was kidnapped by
a group of plainclothes police around Huhui Garden in Yubei District, Chongqing,
and then detained illegally at the Detention Center of Qijiang County. To
protest the illegal persecution, Zhang went on hunger strike. However, he was
tortured brutally and made to endure the "Dead Person's Bed" (1) and inhuman
force-feeding. His hands and feet were bound into excruciatingly painful
positions, his mouth became inflamed and ulcerated, his legs were blue and
swollen, and he became severely dehydrated and deformed prior to his death. It's reported that another 29-year-old female Falun Dafa practitioner, Wang
Jiqing, was illegally forced to go to Maojiashan Female Forced Labor Camp. She
was forcibly injected with unknown drugs by inmates coerced to do so by the
guards. She went into shock on the spot and passed away on September 23rd,
2002.

(1)The four limbs of the practitioner are stretched out and tied to the four
corners of an icy-cold metal bed. The practitioner cannot move at all. Neither
is he allowed to get up to eat, drink, or go to the bathroom. This treatment
would last from several hours up to more than a dozen days. This type of cruel
torture causes severe damage to the practitioner both mentally and physically. Posting date: 7/28/2004 |
