Additional Information of How 31-Year-Old Practitioner Zhang Hong Was Persecuted to Death in the Wanjia Forced Labor Camp (Photos)
By Heilongjiang City Falun Gong Practitioner
(Clearwisdom.net) Zhang Hong is thirty-one years old, and the pharmacist of
the Number Four Hospital of Harbin City. She lived near the arboretum in the
Dongli Section of Harbin City. Because of her firm persistence in practicing
Falun Dafa, she was illegally sentenced to a forced labor camp. On July 22,
2004, she was once again illegally sentenced to Wanjia Forced Labor Camp in
Harbin City and died from cruel persecution on July 31.
Under the high frequency and extremely long, cruel persecution, numerous
Falun Gong practitioners have been persecuted to death in Wanjia Forced Labor
Camp. The Wanjia Forced Labor Camp tries to force every Falun Gong practitioner
to write the "Three Statements." They will torture, force to squat, hang up by
their arms and electrically shock practitioners. Some practitioners were badly
burned by electric batons--it was unbearable to watch.
On the morning of July 22, 2004, Falun Gong practitioners Zhang Hong, Di
Lihua and another practitioner, were forcibly taken to the training unit of the
Wanjia Forced Labor Camp (the women's training unit is run by four male
captains). Immediately, the captains and policemen tried to force them into
writing the "Three Statements." Zhang Hong and Di Lihua refused this
unreasonable demand. The instructor of the forced labor camp punished them and
forced them to squat down and did not allow Zhang Hong to eat lunch. Other Falun
Gong practitioners brought back a very small portion of left over rice and soup
from the canteen for her. After lunch, the instructor, other detained prisoners,
and the training class instructor, Zhang Quiyun, handcuffed Zhang Hong to a bed
with both hands stretched out horizontally until the next day.
On July 23, the police claimed that Zhang Hong had "heart problems" and
planned to give her an injection. Police continued to try to coerce her and the
other practitioners to write the "three letters." Zhang Hong refused to take the
injection, so police pushed her onto a bed (there were no bed covers or
mattress, just the bed board), handcuffed her to the head of the bed with her
hands over her head and tied her feet to the end of the bed. They then forcibly
gave her the injection. This treatment caused Zhong Hong to wet the bed.
Zhang Hong was handcuffed to the hard bed board from July 23 until July 30.
The window was opened at night and Zhang Hong only wore a short sleeve blouse,
even though it was very cold [The labor camp is in northern China. It is cold
in late night and early morning during the summer]. They were not allowed to
put on covers or clothes. One night, it was very cold. With Zhang Hong and Di
Lihua's request, the other practitioner who was on night-duty gave them some
cloths. The next day the disciplinary guard, Wu Baoyun, scolded the practitioner
who was on duty.
On July 24, Zhang Hong had gone on a hunger strike and on the 26th
she was force-fed. The police claimed that they did that to save her life.
Actually they had added a large amount of salt to the corn soup. This type of
force-feeding causes severe damage to the body. Captains Zhao Yuqing and Yao
Fuchang refused to let Zhang Hong drink any water.
Later, they force-fed Zhang Hong three times a day. Every time during the
forced feeding, the disciplinary guard, the head of prisoners in the cell Zhang
Quiyun and others would pull Zhang Hong's hair, press down her head, insult her
with vulgar language and force the feeding tube into her stomach.
While Zhang Hong tolerated the extreme pain both physically and mentally, she
tried to tell the facts of Falun Gong to the police and reason with them. The
police wrapped her mouth with plastic tape to stop her from speaking.
Due to the persecution by the police, Zhang Hong became unconscious. However,
disciplinary guard Li Changjie told captain Zhao Yuqing that she had faked her
painful look. Zhao Yuqing threatened that he would "take care of her" (which
meant he would use an electric baton to torture her).
On the afternoon of the 30th, Zhang Hong was forced to sit in an
iron chair. Her head was covered with many white adhesive bandages and her hands
were handcuffed behind her back. She looked very skinny and her legs and feet
were very swollen.
At 8 a.m. on the 31st, Zhang Hong cried out, " I do not want to
die, I want to go home"
Around 1 p.m. on the 31st, two policemen wearing masks lead four
forced labor camp prisoners carrying Zhang Hong away on a stretcher, claiming
that they were taking her to the hospital and they also sterilized the room she
had been in. Later police section chief Zhao tried to cover up the evidence and
said Zhang Hong had died from renal failure due to a heart attack.
When a relative saw Zhang Hong's body, her eyes were wide open, her mouth was
open and she had lost thirty to forty Jin (over 40 lb). She had also soiled
herself. Forced labor camp personnel demanded her relatives cremate her body as
quickly as possible.
Zhang Hong's family is now trying to appeal and does not agree with the
postmortem examination and cremation. They will follow legal procedures to
appeal.
