(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Xu Weidong, from Jilin City,
went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong in September 2000 and was unlawfully
sentenced to 3 years in a labor camp. At Huanxiling Labor Camp, Jilin City, he
was severely tortured. He was released when he was on the brink of death in
October 2001. Mr. Xu was mentally disoriented and unable to take care of himself
since his release, and he died on December 19, 2004. Xu Weidong's mother, Xia
Guiqin, died on August 29, 2004 due to the relentless torture she suffered for
practicing Falun Gong. His father also died due to the trauma of the
persecution, harassment and grief. Xu Weidong's son, Xu Shuai, and other family
members are devastated by the loss of their loved ones. Mr. Xu Weidong was born in 1967, and used to live on the 7th Floor
in the 4th Unit of # 102 Building, Shuncheng Street, Chuanying
District, Jilin City. He graduated from middle school and was a worker at the
Jilin Alcohol Factory. Since the business was not doing well, he was laid off in
1997, and was only paid the minimum insured income of 165 yuan every
month for two years. Xu Weidong and his mother, Xia Guiqin, started going to the practice site to
do the Falun Gong exercises and study the Fa in the summer of 1996.
On July 19, 1999, upon hearing that several Falun Gong contact persons in other
cities were arrested, Xu Weidong and Xia Guiqin decided to go to Beijing to
appeal for Falun Gong with many other practitioners. However, they were
intercepted by policemen when their train got to Shenyang City. Xu Weidong and
his fellow practitioners went to Beijing again in December 1999, and were
unlawfully arrested and jailed in a detention center in Beijing. They were
released two weeks later. On September 28, 2000, Xu Weidong and his mother went to Beijing again to
appeal for Falun Gong with other practitioners. They were unlawfully arrested in
a practitioner's house in Fengtai District. Xu Weidong was sentenced to 3 years
in a labor camp, and was jailed in the 4th Division of Huanxiling
Labor Camp, Jilin City. To protest the unlawful detention and the brutal torture
Falun Gong practitioners suffered in the labor camp, Xu Weidong went on a hunger
strike several times. He was brutally tortured in the 4th Division
brainwashing group and the 2nd Division. He suffered greatly in the
labor camp. The guards beat him with several electric batons, trying to force
him to "reform." However, Mr. Xu was very steadfast and did not give
in. Once, he was force-fed so brutally that he lost consciousness for half an
hour, and was sent to Yueshan Road 22 Hospital, Jilin City. In order to "reform" Falun Gong practitioners, the labor camp
barbarically tortured the steadfast practitioners. The guards in the 2nd
Division ordered criminals to torture Falun Gong practitioners. They forced
practitioners to sit in a row on a bed. The first one in the line had to sit
with his knees against the wall, and the person behind him had to sit with his
knees tightly against the lower back of the one in front of him, and so on. If
the formation was not tight enough, the criminals would kick practitioners in
the lower back with great force. This torture and the kicks to the lower back
caused severe pain and serious damage to the kidneys. All of the steadfast
practitioners had to suffer this torture for more than 15 hours every day. Many
practitioners could not walk after the torture, and Xu Weidong was injured so
badly that he became mentally disoriented. In the 4th Division, to protest term extensions that were given
some practitioners, Xu Weidong and other practitioners went on a hunger strike
and they were violently beaten by the director of the labor camp, guards and
criminal inmates. They were beaten with several electric batons. Xu Weidong's
injuries were so severe that his body didn't recover even after several days.
The most seriously injured practitioners were sent to the hospital for rescue.
(Practitioner Wu Longbo was beaten to a state of mental collapse and was sent to
the mental hospital. He still suffered symptoms of the mental collapse after his
release from the labor camp.) In the 2nd Division, to protest the unlawful detention and the
brutal torture Falun Gong practitioners suffered in the labor camp, Xu Weidong
went on hunger strikes several times. He was tortured by division head Xu
Xuequan and criminal inmates. Criminal inmate Wen Jifu was ordered by Xu Xuequan
to beat Xu Weidong often. Wen Jifu forcibly pulled Xu Weidong down from the bed.
He usually tortured Xu Weidong by stepping on him and kicking his ribs. Xu
Xuequan beat Xu Weidong with electric batons every time he went on a hunger
strike. In October 2001, in order to avoid their responsibility, the labor camp
released the dying Xu Weidong. Due to the long-term torture, Xu Weidong was
seriously injured both physically and mentally. After his release, he was
mentally disoriented and unable to talk or take care of himself. He eventually
passed away on December 29, 2004. When Xu Weidong and his mother were jailed, his father had gone to the
detention center asking for their release. His father died due to the trauma,
harassment and grief caused by the persecution of his family. His mother, Xia
Guiqin, died on August 29, 2004 due to the relentless torture she suffered
simply for upholding her belief in Falun Gong. Contact information for Huanxiling Labor Camp, Jilin City: Director, Yang Guangde: 13364405001, 2021709 (work), 13304419777 (cell phone)
