The Torture Suffered by Zheng Ying at Jiangshuiquan Women's Labor Camp
By a practitioner from Jinan, China
(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Zheng Ying, from Jinan, was
arrested on May 4, 2005 because she was promoting Falun Dafa. Fellow
practitioner Zhu Yuezhen was arrested along with her. Zheng Ying was sent to the
Jinan Liuchangshan Detention Center. She refused to cooperate with the
unreasonable demands of the officers so they tied her on a death bed
for four days and four nights. Zheng Ying's four limbs were stretched out and
tied to the corners of the icy-cold metal bed. She could not move at all.
Neither was she allowed to get up to eat, drink, or to go to the bathroom for
four days. The torture injured her mentally and physically. They released Ms.
Zheng only after her body was swollen and numb. They said they wouldn't have
released her if not for her advanced age. While in the Jinan Detention Center,
Zheng Ying was on a hunger strike the whole time to protest her unlawful
detention, and continued to practice the Falun Gong exercises. None of the
perpetrator's tricks worked on her, and she firmly refused to renounce Falun
Dafa. On June 3, the 610 Office director, Li Dongfeng, and police
officer Xu Hui took Zheng Ying to the Jinan Jiangshuiquan Women's Labor Camp.
Zheng Ying was very weak at that point, but the prison guards handcuffed her to
the radiator for a day. To protest the persecution, on the second day in the
labor camp, Zheng Ying wrote a letter to the State Department and National
People's Congress to expose her situation. The perpetrators left Ms. Zheng tied to the radiator with a belt and wouldn't
let her have any water or use the restroom. They kept her there for months,
until September 7, releasing her only a few brief times in between. During this time, Zheng Ying would shout out, "Falun Dafa is
wonderful!" The prison guards then took turns slapping her across the face
and even taped her mouth shut. By September, Ms. Zheng was tortured beyond recognition. Her body became
purple and blue and was covered with pus. Her skin was very itchy. The prison
guards let those that betrayed Falun Dafa as well as some other prisoners apply
some ointment to her wounds. Her swollen face was covered with mucus and tears.
Feeding tubes were placed into her nose, and a piece of cloth tied back her
disheveled hair . Zheng Ying's family members (non-practitioners) became very worried when they
learned of her condition. They wanted to get her out, but the labor camp asked
them for 10,000 yuan for medical expenses. The evil perpetrators
continuously tried to force Ms. Zheng to give up practicing Falun Dafa, but
Zheng Ying told them, "Now, more than ever, I understand that Falun Dafa is
valuable. I won't give it up even if you point a gun to my head." On September 7, 2005, Zheng Ying was finally released from Jiangshuiquan
Women's Labor Camp. By this time, she was very weak. October 10, 2005
