Inner Mongolia Practitioner Zhou Jingpeng Tortured and Illegally Jailed

By a Falun Gong Practitioner from Mainland China

(Clearwisdom.net)

On September 2, 2004, Mr. Zhou Jinpeng, a Falun Gong practitioner from Inner Mongolia, was arrested by the police of Ke'er'qin area in Tongliao City. He was illegally imprisoned in the detention center of Ke'er'qin area for about half a year.

Within this period, three relatives of Zhou were also arrested. As soon as the holidays arrived, his relatives and family members were under the fear of being hunted by the police. Even the pigpen at his house was searched many times.

While arresting Zhou Jingpeng on September 2, 2004, Policeman Bao Buhe kept fiercely punching Zhou's face until his face was distorted and his mouth, eyes, and nose bled. Nobody even tried to stop this evil conduct.

In order to cover up the crime, another policeman, Ma Ying, wiped the blood off Zhou Jinpeng's face before video recording him and said, "Nobody hit you, right? We did not see anything." After the beating, Zhou was jailed in an isolated compartment and vomited blood for seven days. The police even cuffed him with 14 kg (31 lb) steel foot shackles that originally were for criminals on death row. He walked with these heavy shackles for six days.

Once, policemen from the police station of Ke'er'qin area came to the detention center. Policeman Bao Jirimutu took Zhou Jinpeng's foot shackles off. A guard of the detention center asked Bao to put down the shackles. However, he put them around Zhou's neck instead, and made him walk with the shackles to humiliate him. During interrogation, policeman Wang Bo threatened Zhou Jinpeng, saying, "Not only I am going to torture you physically, but I am also going to rape you spiritually." He grabbed Zhou Jinpeng's right hand and violently twisted his hand joints by turning his hand back and forth. Because of the extreme pain, Zhou Jinpeng could not help but scream! Zhou Jinpeng was tortured four times this way. Although Wang Bo was covered with sweat, he did not stop torturing Zhou Jinpeng until Shao Jun and Zhang Liming (deputy chief of the police station) came in. Zhou Jinpeng appealed to Zhang Liming, "Isn't this torture?" Zhang answered, "This is not."

Zhou Jinpeng was tortured until after midnight. Bao continuously cursed at Zhou Jinpeng with dirty words. In order to keep Zhou Jinpeng awake, Bao sprayed cold water on his face repeatedly. When dawn broke, Shao Jun cuffed Zhou Jinpeng's hands to a file cabinet and pulled on his belt, which made the handcuffs deeply cut into the flesh of his hands.

Whenever someone came from the police station of Ke'er'qin area to illegally interrogate Zhou Jinpeng (including illegal questioning, and photo taking), Wang Bo and Shao Jun always slapped him in the face. One time his ears were swollen after being hit by Shao Jun.

On February 19, 2004, Zhou Jinpeng was illegally sentenced to seven years in prison. On January, 23, 2004, Zhou Jinpeng wrote a statement for defending himself in court. The trial was held on February, 3 and the verdict was on February, 4. Zhou Jinpeng was secretively transferred to Chifeng Prison of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

Zhou Jinpeng is still suffering from brutal tortures in prison. We call upon all righteous people in the world. Please lend your helping hands and rescue these innocent Falun Gong practitioners who are being seriously persecuted in Mainland China.

(In the verdict document, the judge was Guo Liyan, accompanied by Guo Weimin and Zhang Baocai; the clerk was Xu Wei.)
