Account of the Torture of Mr. Yan Xinpei, a 66- Year Old Practitioner Detained in the Xishanping Labor Camp, Chongqing City
(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Yan Xinpei, 66, was a farmer from Kai County, Chongqing City. He used to
suffer from numerous illnesses such as lung cancer. After he started practicing
Falun Gong in March 1997, his ailments disappeared after just one week. The
doctor conducting his physical exam could not find anything wrong with him. The Kai County Police abducted him in April 2001, and sentenced him to two
years in a labor camp. Police and drug-addict inmates at the Xishanping Labor
Camp brutally tortured Mr. Yan because of his perseverance in his faith. Guard Liu Qidou severely beat him. Every time Squadron Leader Liu Hua wanted
to talk to Mr. Yan, he ordered drug-addict inmates to drag him to his office.
Mr. Yan was also severely tortured while in the "Tight Discipline Team." Each
day he was forced to stand or sit with both hands behind his back for 17-18
hours. He was allowed to urinate only once each day, and defecate once every
three days. Each day he only received about a quarter or a third of the regular
rations. Furthermore, drug addicts He Weidong, Diao Xiaowei and several others
inmates regularly beat and cursed him, or used despicable ways to torture him
under encouragement from the guards. Such nonstop torture eventually reduced Mr.
Yan to a mere skeleton. He began experiencing tremors both in his body and his
head. He often lost consciousness, and he could not take care of himself. Even
though he was sent to hospital many times, inmate He Weidong declared that Mr.
Yan was faking his sickness. Later, after intense demands from the Falun Gong
practitioners within the Squadron, the labor camp finally sent Mr. Yan to the
Chongqing City no.9 People's Hospital for a physical examp. Later, his family
was ordered to take Mr. Yan home. Guards who directly participated in torturing Mr. Yan: Li Qidou, Liu Hua, Li
Qiwei, Xiao Xingming, Tian Xin, and Wang Cheng, etc. Drug addict inmates who directly participated in torturing Mr. Yan: He
Weidong, Xia Xianke and Diao Xiaowei, etc. |
