More Details on How Dafa Practitioner Zhang Xiaodong Was Tortured to Death By a Falun Dafa practitioner from Gansu Province
(Clearwisdom.net) In Gansu Province, Lanzhou City, at the Xiguoyuan Detention Center, the
police continually persecute and torture Dafa practitioners. Suffering from this
kind of inhumane frenzy, Dafa practitioners Liu Lanshong, Wan Guifu, Zhang Fengyun, Zhang Xiaodong and others were tortured to
death. Other Dafa practitioners resorted to
hunger strikes to protest the persecution and were force-fed by the police in
the detention center. The so-called "food" used in force feeding was
chosen on a whim by the police before they began the torture. If they wanted the
victim to live, they would use powdered milk. If they wanted the person to die,
they would use concentrated salt water mixed with benzene. The practitioner
generally would die of thirst. The process would also make the practitioner's
tongue become stiff and prevent them from saying anything. During the
force-feeding process, the police continuously beat the practitioners, and
repeatedly use the force-feeding tube to rub and irritate the practitioners'
nasal cavity, throat and esophagus while the practitioners are still conscious.
Dafa practitioner Zhang Xiaodong was tortured and subsequently died this way. On October 16, 2003, four Falun Gong practitioners, Bai Sanyuan, Zhang
Xiaodong, Yang Xuegui and Wang Yunbo illegally confined inside Lanzhou City
First Detention Center (also known as Xiguoyuan Detention Center), were together
sending forth-righteous thoughts one day. Wang Yunbo said, "We are all
innocent! We should righteously walk away from the prison gate. This place is
too dirty; it's a place for criminals, not a place for cultivators like us to
live in." So after saying that, they casually walked towards the front
gate. The prison guards stopped them and they were sent back. Their hands were
cuffed and their feet were shackled to prevent them from walking away again.
Zhang Xiaodong and Bai Sanyuan protested, "You cannot use the torture
instrument on us. We are law abiding, good citizens, Falun Dafa is good!" The prison guard dragged Bai Sanyen and Zhang Xiaodong, who were both
handcuffed and shackled, from the medical division to the tough discipline
division (the thirteenth division). Zhang Xiaodong was locked up in cell number
six and Bai Sanyen in cell number seven. Zhang Xiaodong and others resorted to a hunger strike to protest the inhumane
treatment. They asked for the handcuffs and foot shackles to be removed. On the
sixth day of the hunger strike, on October 21, 2003, the prison guards resorted
to force-feeding torture with the intention of injuring the practitioners. The
division heads, Liu Wei and Liu Runqing, led this operation. Chief Zhao Guanhu
initiated the torture, Xu Yue Ting and Zhao Binfong picked the substance used
for the force-feeding, and the criminal doctor Kwan Xiaoman performed the
force-feeding. The chosen food used in force-feeding was concentrated salt
solution mixed in benzene. The prison guards also instigated other prison
inmates to mercilessly beat Dafa disciples in the detention center. Zhang Xiaodong was beaten to death on October 23. The police transferred his
remains on the 24th to Kongtai Hospital. Kongtai Hospital plotted with the
police and concocted a fake medical record claiming Zhang Xiaodong died of
natural causes. The detention center also forced a group of convicts to act as
witnesses and to fabricate false evidence. The detention center then dismissed all eyewitnesses inside cell number six
and all personnel involved and responsible in the persecution and torture of
Zhang Xiaodong. They forced all prison inmates to lie and aid in covering up
their crimes and atrocities. Dafa practitioner Bai Sanyen was sent to Kongtai
Hospital for emergency rescue. Luckily, the resuscitation was successful and he
lived. September 1, 2005 Posting date: 9/16/2005 |
