By practitioners in Weifang, Shandong Province
(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Li Guang was a TV reporter
and presenter in Laizhou, Shandong Province. He was illegally arrested,
imprisoned in Weibei Prison in Weifang City and cruelly tortured for being
steadfast in his belief in Falun Dafa. On December 3, 2004, Li Guang was beaten
to death by prison guard Xu Haiming and others. Mr. Guang was a resident in Laizhou, Shandong Province. Li Guang was an honor
graduate from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Prior to his
arrest, he was a reporter and presenter at the Laizhou TV Station. He was
unlawfully arrested at the Qingdao Aviation Sanatorium for his belief and was
then imprisoned at the Weibei Prison in Weifang. In March 2004, Li Guang assertively requested the prison authorities to
release unlawfully detained Falun Gong practitioners as soon as possible, and
for this he was cruelly persecuted. To protest the prison guards' evildoings, Li
Guang launched a hunger strike, which lasted for seven months. In order to make
him renounce his faith, the prison guards used up to seven electric batons to
shock him simultaneously, which made his neck swell to the same size as his
head. During the hunger strike he suffered various kinds of torture; there were
40 incidents of electric shocking alone, lasting between three and four hours
each time. During the unlawful imprisonment, Li Guang refused to cooperate with the
forced brainwashing known as "political studies." He also refused to
participate in forced labor or watch slanderous TV propaganda. Li Guang was initially in No.5 Ward in Weibei Prison. Prison guards there
exhausted all their methods but failed to shake his determination in his belief. At the end of November 2004, Li Guang was transferred from the No. 5 Ward to
the Educational Section. Section Head Xu Haiming, a principal perpetrator in
that prison had attended nationwide training [on the persecution of Falun Gong
practitioners]. Because he was actively involved in persecuting practitioners,
he was awarded 5,000 yuan. He organized a group of criminal inmates to torture
practitioners. Under Xu Haiming's leadership, prison guards took steadfast practitioners
from different wards in groups to the prison headquarters for further
persecution. Li Guang was in the last group from the No. 5 Ward to be
transferred to a confinement room in the No. 1 Ward where he was continuously
deprived of sleep. Within five days, under Xu Haiming's high-pressure
persecution, Li Guang was beaten to death on December 3, at the Weibei Prison
Headquarters. Li Guang's body was directly sent to the prison headquarters hospital's
mortuary. The next day the prison notified Li Guang's family. When the family
members inquired about the cause of Li Guang's death, Liu Yongchang, the deputy
prison Head, called in about 20 police to tightly guard the area and did not
permit any person to get close. The Weibei Prison held a series of meetings to order all the prison guards to
tell the identical lie that Li Guang hanged himself. They stonewalled all
requests for information and threatened that whoever disclosed the truth would
be fired immediately, once verified. They also said they needed to strictly
control practitioners' activities, and so on. Below is the letter Li Guang had written in prison to his fellow
practitioners: "I am going to take another step forward. This may be my last big step.
I have handed in my statement, which said that from next Monday on I will stop
doing forced labor, I will not wear the prison uniform and I will not squat
down. I will practice the Falun Gong exercises (whether this can be achieved is
another issue). I have thought of these before but I could not step forward.
After studying the Fa during the recent period of time, I don't think it is
difficult any more. "About what you can do to cooperate with my actions, I think you can
send forth righteous thoughts. Please concentrate on sending forth righteous
thoughts to eliminate the evil factors (the dark minions, wicked beings and old
forces who participate in the persecution) that control the evildoers in the No.
5 Ward. In particular, when they do violence on me, please do not be
disconcerted if you hear it. Calm down and strengthen the righteous thoughts to
eliminate the wicked things in other dimensions. "If there are no surprises, I believe I can walk this step well. You
should avoid being overanxious for quick success, and meanwhile you should be
diligent so that you can catch up as soon as possible and do well the things you
should do." Phone numbers of responsible persons in Weibei Prison: (Please dial country + area code: 86-536 before all regular phone numbers except
