By a Falun Gong practitioner from Jilin, China

(Clearwisdom.net) In order to further expose the crimes committed by the authorities at Jilin Prison, to allow more people to learn the facts of how the prison guards persecute Falun Gong practitioners, and to reduce the pressure on the imprisoned practitioners, on the evening of July 14, 2005, local practitioners worked together to hang up large banners at two Jilin Prison guards' residence complexes - the four apartment buildings opposite the Northeast China Institute of Electric Power Engineering, and the two buildings close to the Nonglin Street residential complexes. A more-than-3-meter-long banner read, "Heaven and earth cannot tolerate the torture of Falun Gong practitioners in Jilin Prison." Other banners were two-meters long and read, "Immediately stop the persecution of imprisoned Falun Gong practitioners." There were 200 posters with the words, "Heaven and earth cannot tolerate the Jilin Prison's use of torture to persecute good people." An announcement that the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG) is investigating wardens and guards in Jilin Prison who are responsible for persecuting practitioners, and demonstrations of the torture methods currently being used against Falun Gong practitioners in Jilin Prison were also pasted in the two residence complexes and surrounding areas.

Jilin Prison, short for "Jilin Province No. 2 Prison" is located at 100 Junmin Road, Jilin City. It is a provincial prison and has 11 sections. Each section has three subsections. Since July 20, 1999 when the persecution of Falun Gong began, the prison has held hundreds of practitioners and has carried out inhuman persecution against them. Methods of mistreatment include: establishing a strict surveillance team, locking practitioners in small cells, stretching practitioners' legs and arms while strapped to a bed, inciting criminal inmates to violently torture practitioners, grasping practitioners' private parts, surveillance 24 hour a day, and brutal force feeding. Jilin Prison authorities issued an order to perform the force-feeding as violently as one could and if practitioners die from it, their deaths are attributed to natural causes. Currently, five practitioners, including Liu Chenjun, Zhang Jianhua, Xui Weidong, Wei Xiushan and He Yuanhui are known to have been tortured to death in Jilin Prison.

In order to cover up their crimes, the prison authorities continue persecuting steadfast practitioners and do not allow their family members to meet with them. The authorities are afraid of being further exposed.

Shi Wenzhuo from Jiutai, Jilin Province who was illegally imprisoned had been tortured on the death bed during the process of forced brainwashing. The prison guards even incited collaborators including Bai Ye, Yan Feng, and Wu Qingdong to tie him up and beat him. Guard Li Yongsheng also beat him. The guards ordered criminal inmates to beat practitioner Shi Guohon, and as a result, Mr. Shi became disabled. On March 12, 2005, criminal inmates in the Third Section handcuffed practitioner Zhou Liansheng and violently beat him. Guard Chen Xi also joined the beating. Later, they transferred Zhou Liansheng to Tiebei Prison in Changchun. Practitioner Zhang Hongwei in the Tenth Section has been locked in a small cell for two years since he was imprisoned in Jilin Prison.

In December 2003, WOIPFG conducted an investigation into the case of Mr. Liu Chenjun, who was tortured to death in Jilin Prison. The head of the prison, Li Qiang, Commissar Liu Changjiang, and a number of guards, including Wang Yufan, Zhang Jing, Tan Fuhua, Liu Wei, Wang Jiangkong, Pang Hongjun, Zhang Guilin, Li Yongsheng, and Lin Zhibin are the chief criminals who are responsible for the death of Liu Chengjun. They are also the major murderers who manipulate and participate in the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. In addition, local practitioners have been using different ways to expose the evildoings in Jilin Prison. As a result, the guards have shown a little restraint in the persecution, although their means of persecution have become more concealed. The guards incite and manipulate criminal inmates and collaborators to persecute practitioners.
