The First and Third Detention Centers of Jilin City are located on Yueshan
Road. Since July 20, 1999, the two centers have detained and severely
persecuted hundreds of Falun Gong practitioners. With the permission of
Director of the Third Detention Center Zhufeng Sun (male, over 40 years old)
and Commissar Wang Wenkui, at least three Falun Gong practitioners have been
murdered in the center. Wang Lixin, Fu Shengchun and Li Chuanping have all
died as a direct result of the persecution they were subjected to in the
detention center. Wang Lixin Was Beaten to Death after Only a Few Days (See http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2002/2/3/18362.html) Wang Lixin was taken away by the police department in November 2000 because
he made 100 copies of Falun Dafa truth-clarifying materials. Wang refused to
cooperate and did not divulge his name. The supervisors and criminals at the
detention center all called him "Dafa practitioner." In the No. 5 prison cell of Jilin City's Third Detention Center, in order
to protest the unjust treatment towards Falun Dafa practitioners and the
slander against Falun Dafa, Wang refused to eat. After the second day of his
hunger strike, he was sent to the No.6 prison cell. Cell monitor, Feng Naiwu,
who claimed to be a secret society member and was imprisoned because he
embezzled ten thousand yuan, made things difficult for Wang in all kinds of
ways. He verbally insulted Wang and refused to let him go to the washroom. On
the fourth day of his hunger strike, Wang was sent to the No. 8 prison cell.
Cell monitor Yang Hailong tried to persuade and threaten Wang in vain.
Criminal Feng wanted to curry favor with Supervisor Yang, so he took the
initiative to request that Wang be transferred back to the No.6 prison cell.
Feng even publicly announced that Supervisor Yang had already given permission
to beat up Wang. When they were force-feeding Wang, they tried so hard to pry
open his mouth that it was covered with blood. In the end, Wang suffocated and
lost consciousness. Feng thought of a wicked plot. He made two young criminals aged fifteen to
sixteen sob and wail repeatedly in front of Wang to persuade him to eat. Feng
threatened to beat up the two young criminals if they did not succeed in their
attempt. Wang saw through their plot and was unmoved. Feng flew into a rage.
He ordered nine criminals on the night shift to refuse to let Wang sleep. One
of them, named Zhang Qun, had practiced boxing for many years. He actively
obeyed Feng's order. Once Zhang saw Wang close his eyes, he would pour cold
water on him using a plastic mineral water bottle. If Wang closed his eyes
again, he would stomp on Wang with his feet. He would also use his heel to
stomp on Wang's ribs and legs. He also punched Wang repeatedly in the ribs. On the fifth day of the hunger strike, supervisors Yang and Zhang summoned
some thugs to forcefully bring Wang, who was handcuffed and shackled, to the
supervisor's room. There Wang was force-fed one jin [0.5 Kg] of concentrated
salt water. Zhang held the plastic mineral water bottle that was used to pour
salt water into Wang and swaggered around on an inspection tour around the
No.6 prison cell. We could clearly see that the salt left in the mineral water
bottle was like thick porridge. On the night of the sixth day, Wang was
tormented again for the whole night without sleep, while enduring the
corrosive effects of the salt water. On the afternoon of the seventh day of his hunger strike, Wang's whole body
was very weak. He was unable to think clearly and the words he muttered were
unintelligible. Criminals Feng, Zhang and another named Xiaohong, who was
sentenced to the detention center for robbery and involvement with organized
crime, took turns kicking and stomping on Wang. Supervisors Yang and Zhang
leaned against the window and watched for two minutes before opening the cell
door. They asked Feng, Zhang and Xiaohong to bring Wang into the supervisor's
room. Then the screams of pain from Wang could be heard. After more than half
an hour, they sent Wang back to the No.6 prison cell. Wang had both his hands
tied behind his back, and there was a white towel tied across his mouth. He
could only make muffled sounds. On the eighth day of the hunger strike, Wang was sent to the hospital but
he died two days later. Once, when Zhang kept Wang from sleeping at night by beating him up, a
senior supervisor on patrol saw him and tried to stop him. Although this
incident was recorded on the blackboard the next day, Supervisor Yang ignored
the incident, and his animosity towards the senior supervisor deepened. This
made Feng and his gang even more brazen in their behavior. Feng has now been
released. Fu Chunsheng Died from Force Feeding and the Police in the Third Detention
Center Make up Evidence Falun Gong practitioner Fu Chunsheng, 52 years old, was originally an
employee of the Jilin Transportation Company. On December 28, 2001, the police
abducted him at his home. After several days, inhumane force-feeding caused
his death in the Third Detention Center. When Fu Chunsheng was first detained in the detention center, he began to
fast as a protest against the persecution. The prisoners in the center, under
the command of the police, force-fed Chunsheng. On the eighth day of
force-feeding, Fu Chunsheng died. To cover up their crime, the policemen
transferred Chunsheng's body to a nearby hospital--Hospital 222 of the
People's Liberation Army in Jilin City--and pretended to try to save Chunsheng
Fu's life in the emergency room. In fact, they were trying to collude with the
hospital doctors to make up evidence. The doctors in the hospital helped the
detention center police by forging a false certificate of death, which stated
that Chunsheng had died of heart problems and that hospital emergency measures
could not save his life. The policemen in the detention center then used this
falsified death certificate to deceive Chunsheng's family members. To cover up their crime, the prison management division of the Jilin Police
Station held a special meeting. The directors of the prison division announced
to all the police officers that they were forbidden to ask for information
related to the death of Fu Chunsheng or any other details relating to his
case. Persecuted in the Detention Center, Chuanping Li Died after Returning Home Li Chuanping, 50, lived in the Longtan Shuidian District in Jilin City. In
July and August 2001, she was detained in the Third Detention Center, where
she was persecuted. After being tortured, Chuanping started to vomit blood.
Even after seeing her so seriously ill, the policemen did nothing to help her.
Only after they realized that Chuanping was going to die did they release her
to go home so they could avoid bearing responsibility. After going home, Li Chuaping died shortly thereafter because of severe
wounds and delayed treatment in the center. The Responsible Officials Are Transferred to Cover Up Their Crime Several days after the tragedy of Wang Lixin's death, his family members
remembered that his behavior, mental state, and physical state were normal
when they had visited him on December 4, 2000, and began to doubt the cause of
his death. To cover up the truth and avoid further questions pertaining to their
responsibility, the directors of the Jilin Police Station quickly decided that
Director Sun Zhufeng, Commissar Wang Wenkui and Deputy Director Zhang Guanjun
would be dismissed from their positions. In actuality, the Jilin Police
Station directors lied to the public when they promised that these people as
well as anyone else responsible had been dismissed from their current
positions or transferred to other positions. Sun Zhufeng was simply
repositioned as the Director of the First Detention Center, Wenkui Wang as the
Commissar of the First Detention Center, and Zhang Guanjun as a director of a
unit in the First Detention Center. Those Responsible Still At Large and the Witnesses Sent to a Forced Labor
Center Persons responsible for the murder of Wang Lixin include: a) Zhang Guanjun,
the arresting officer and Deputy Director of the Third Detention Center.
Currently he is a unit director in the First Detention Center in Jilin City;
b) Yang Zhonghua, a policeman in the Third Detention Center; c) Feng Naiwu, a
prisoner assigned to monitor prisoners. He pretended to be a gang member and
was sent to the Third Center because he bilked someone out of 100,000 yuan.
Currently, he is home and at large. To block the news, the policemen in the center sent any Falun Gong
practitioners who had witnessed Wang Lixin being beaten to death to a forced
labor center. Currently, the First and Third Detention Centers of Jilin City
still detain and persecute Falun Gong practitioners. The center officers order
the prisoners to beat Falun Gong practitioners and persecute them physically.
They force-feed practitioners on hunger strikes and persecute them with other
methods. The Crimes of the First Detention Center of Jilin City Since July 20, 1999, hundreds of Falun Gong practitioners have been
persecuted in Jilin City's First Detention Center. Among Jilin police,
policewoman Xing Shufen was notorious for her aggressiveness in beating
practitioners in the center. On October 14, 1999, Yu Lixin, a cadre of the
Organization Department of Jilin General Labor Union, was persecuted in this
center. When Wang Lixin went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution,
Xing Shufen not only beat her severely but also ordered prisoners to
force-feed her. Because Wang Lixin persisted in practicing Dafa, Xing Shufen
fastened Ms. Wang's arms and legs onto a bed. The policemen in the center then
subjected Yu Lixin to various inhumane methods of torture. On October 14,
1999, Liu Mingwei, an employee of the Jilin Water Supply Company, was also
beaten severely and force-fed by Xing Shufen. Practitioners Cui Zhengshu and
Deng Shiying, who were persecuted to death by the police, were also tortured
in this center. Another devious strategy used in the center is to punish the criminal
prisoners in the name of Falun Gong practitioners, thereby stirring up their
animosity towards Falun Gong. The policemen do not allow the criminal
prisoners to meet with their family members, go outside, or purchase food.
They prisoners are also punished physically with such methods as sitting on a
board and sleep deprivation. Officer Zhao Yanbo force-fed practitioner Ms. Zhu E and persecuted her with
many kinds of torture. In September 2003, police force-fed and otherwise tortured practitioners
Yan Zuo from the Transportation Bank, electrical engineer Wang Guihua, and Sun
Fengqin. On September 18, 2003, practitioner Zhao Yinjie began a fast to
protest the persecution. Zhao Yanbo, Chen Lili and other male police officers
force-fed and tortured her. In 2004, practitioners Wang Shufan, Wang Yugui,
Xiao Lihua, all over 50, and Xin Xin, about 30, also were force-fed and
tortured with different methods. Currently, several Falun Gong practitioners
are still detained illegally and being persecuted in the center. We request that the "World Organization to Investigate the Persecution
of Falun Gong" put these criminals on record and investigate their
crimes.
