Falun Gong Practitioner Xiang Changyin Dies from Torture, and Other Information About the Persecution in Suining City, Sichuan Province
By a practitioner from Sichuan Province
(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Xiang Changyin from Laochi
Village, Suining City in Sichuan Province had already been persecuted in a
forced labor camp prior to his arrest in June 2004 while he was clarifying
the facts about Falun Gong to people. He was tortured, unlawfully sent to
forced labor for four years and died on March 11, 2005 as a result of torture.
The following is his story: Mr. Xiang Changyin was from Laochi Village, Suining City. As he was firm in
his Falun Gong practice, he had been persecuted many times. In 2001 he was
illegally sentenced to forced labor for one and a half years. After his return
from the labor camp, he continued clarifying the facts and validating Dafa. He
lived in Duanjiadian Village in Suining City and made his living driving a
passenger tricycle. During the night of June 15, 2004, someone named Yuan from Laochi Village
learned where Xiang Changyin lived. On the morning of June 17, Yuan, along with
officers from the Kaixuan Police Station from the City National Security Team
broke into Xiang Changyin's home and forcibly took him away. He was illegally
incarcerated in the Lingquansi Detention Center. There, the lawless people
deprived him of sleep for seven days. Xiang Changyin was then sentenced to four years of forced labor. As he
suffered from inhuman torture in the detention center, he was at the brink of
death. The criminal officials attempted to incarcerate him at the forced labor
camp, but the labor camp refused to accept him. When Xiang Changyin was sent back home, his life was in danger. He passed
away on March 11, 2005. Other practitioners in Suining City who have died as a result of persecution
include: Chen Huakun, 75 years old, from the 10th Team in Dingjiao
Village, Nanqiang Town, Zhong District of Suining City; Xi Zhimin, 55 years old,
from the 11th Village, Fuqiao Town, Zhong District; Peng Fangjian
from Renli Town; Xiao Zhilin, 50 years old, from Tiangongmiao Area, the
Chuanshan District; Liang Guirong, 36 years old, from Fenshui Town, the Anju
District, as well as other practitioners. Practitioners from Suining City who are currently still detained in the
Lingquansi Detention Center include Zhang Zhijun, Lin Shuzhen, Tan Xiaorong, Guo
Dingmin, Xiao Yunqiang and others. Even though Zhang Zhijun had been on hunger strike for two weeks he was
force-fed and the police dragged him into the mountain area behind the detention
center for brutal beatings. Lin Shuzhen was forced to kneel down, and was beaten
on the face and kicked. Tan Xiaorong was handcuffed and hung up for three days
and four nights without any sleep. Guo Dingmin was also handcuffed and hung up
for three days and four nights. Related phone numbers: Sichuan Province Muchuan County Wumaping Prison: March 28, 2005 |
