Daqing Prison Tortures Threaten Zou Guoyan's Life (Photo)
(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Zou Guoyan is 50 years old. He lives in Chungguang
Village, Tuanjie Town, Shuangcheng City, Heilongjiang Province. On May 15, 2001,
he was illegally arrested because he practices Falun Dafa. Without
any hearing, he was sentenced to 9 years in prison. In mid-March of 2002, Mr.
Zou was sent to Harbin Prison. On July 1, 2004, he was transferred to Daqing
Prison. In detention, Mr. Zou went through prolonged torture and now has
symptoms of dangerously high blood pressure. Over the last few years, Mr. Zou has been brutally tortured, both mentally
and physically. Some of the torture methods used against him include having his
arms and legs clamped to wooden sticks and being shackled to a metal chair for
14 days. During interrogations at night, they handcuffed him in the
"carrying a sword over the back" position (the practitioner's hands
are pulled behind his back with one hand over the shoulder and the other hand
against the lower back. The police then apply a great deal of force to pull the
two hands toward one another and handcuff them together). They made him carry a
metal tub around his neck and put alcohol and burning cigarettes in the tub.
Then they beat him with wood batons for half the night. They put two wooden
toothbrushes in between his fingers and then twisted and turned the toothbrushes
to cause his fingers excruciating pain. They whipped the soles of his feet with
leather belts, stabbed his soles with needles, and tied a rope around his
genitals and pulled with great force. The officers also beat him continuously
for 40 days. He was only given two portions of corn bread a day, or only two
bowls of corn porridge. They shackled him to the ground for over 10 days and
deprived him of sleep. He wasn't allowed to use the restroom, making him urinate
in his pants many times. They beat and cursed at him countless times. There were
also other forms of torture. Mr. Zou's body was greatly damaged and he was sent
to the hospital for 7 months. Because information is tightly concealed, we have
limited information about Zou Guoyan's current situation. Daqing Prison phone numbers (area code 0459) - Address: Hong Weixing Daqing Prison, Ranghulu District, Daqing City, zip
