Mr. Wu Chunlong's Persecution at Jiamusi Forced Labor Camp
By a practitioner in Heilongjiang Province
(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Wu Chunlong from Jiamusi
City, Heilongjiang Province, came home from the Jiamusi Forced Labor Camp
showing no emotion, looking confused, reacting very slowly, and unable to speak.
His family was very upset. It took over a month before he could remember even a
little bit of what had happened. At the end of 2003, Mr. Wu Chunlong was again sentenced to three years in a
forced labor camp. The local authorities locked him up in Jiamusi Forced Labor
Camp, where he underwent brutal persecution. Mr. Wu was first sentenced on
November 3, 1999, to three years of forced labor. He was among the first group
of 17 Falun Dafa practitioners sent to forced labor in Jiamusi City. Mr. Wu
Chunlong and his father moved five times between late-2002 and late-2003 to
avoid further harassment and surveillance by the local police. At Jiamusi Forced Labor Camp, all practitioners are forced to do hard labor.
When they were sorting beans in a workshop, prison guard Yang Chunlong summoned
Mr. Wu to the office and made him stand by the wall. He said, "We found
several articles by Teacher Li in your bed." Brigade Leader Liu Hongguang
came in with several other police officers. Liu said, "We found some
articles in your bed." They made Mr. Wu take off all his clothes and body
searched him. Then one officer punched Mr. Wu's face saying, "I don't want
to "transform" you. As long as you promise verbally to obey the rules,
you can go back to work." Mr. Wu replied, "I am not making any
promises." Then Liu said to the police officer, "Take him to the
second floor." One police officer punched Mr. Wu and pushed him out of the room while
twisting his arms behind his back. Mr. Wu could not hold out against the seven
or eight police officers surrounding him and beating him. He lost his balance,
fell to the floor, and shouted, "Falun Dafa is good!" The police rushed over to gag him. Yang Chunming brought in the tape and Yang
Chunlong brought in the bed sheet. They dragged Mr. Wu to the second floor,
threw him on an empty bed, and shackled him to it. Liu Hongguang yelled at him,
"Go ahead and shout! Why don't you shout now?" Yang Chunlong used an
implement to beat Wu on the face, and Liu Hongguang used an electric baton to
shock his collarbones and his penis before he left. Zhao Yancai was on duty and
stayed to watch him. Mr. Wu went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution. Yang Chunlong
threatened, "If you don't eat, we will force feed you." Force-feeding
is very painful. The officers added milk powder and salt to some water and then
injected the solution into his stomach. Mr. Wu developed diarrhea. On the third
day, Liu Hongguang and Guo Gang beat Mr. Wu. They took turns coming to harass
him to make him eat. He just ignored them. One day, Guo Gang tickled Mr. Wu's
armpits, nostrils and ears with a feather. After a few days, Zhao Yancai used a
small spoon to pry open Mr. Wu's mouth and poured in water. Mr. Wu spit out all
the water. A few days later, Mr. Wu became very confused and could not think properly.
He vaguely heard the police officers talking. He remembered inmate Wang Fu
carrying him on his back and Zhao Yancai pulling his legs. They bounced him down
the corridor and put him on his bed. Because he was unconscious, Mr. Wu often
urinated and defecated in his bed. During the seven or eight days when he was on
a hunger strike, his muscles from his waist to his knees were numb and did not
respond. He could not walk, had chest pains, felt cold, his mind was slow, and
he could not think. Mr. Wu was emaciated. Several days later, he awoke while
being dragged to the water room, where they poured cold water on him. Then he
was dragged back. One day, Mr. Wu woke up in pain and saw inmate Wang Fu
pricking his collar bones on the left. Wu Chunlong used his righteous thoughts
to make the inmate stop. Mr. Wu often shouted, "Falun Dafa is good!"
Once inmate Wang Fu stuck a towel soaked in diarrhea in Mr. Wu's mouth. Mr. Wu
usually woke up unable to breathe because a towel was stuffed in his mouth. Mr.
Wu Chunlong was then moved to a small meeting room in a remote hospital area.
Several doctors sat in front of him. The police officers talked to the doctors
for a while and then moved Mr. Wu back to the forced labor camp. At 4:00 or 5:00 p.m. two days later, Yang Chunlong and Yang Chunming carried
Mr. Wu Chunlong out of the premises and sent him home in a taxi. The officers
forced his family to pay a 5000 yuan fine. His family did not have
the money and paid only 200 yuan. Jiang Zuoqi, Director of Jiamusi Forced Labor Camp: 86-454-8891958 (Office),
