(Clearwisdom.net) 1. [Hubei Province] Torture Endured by Mr. Zheng Dejun at Shayang Forced
Labor Camp Mr. Zheng Dejun, who is in his 30s and a Yichang City resident, was
illegally arrested in 2000 and later sent to the Shayang Forced
Labor Camp for a 3-year term. In April 2003, he was sentenced to another 3-year
term. During his imprisonment, police asked drug addicts to drag him on the
ground. He was dragged all the way to a field miles away. With one hand
handcuffed to a tree branch, his body was dangling two meters from the ground. In the summer of 2004, because he tried to stop police from torturing other
Falun Gong practitioners, Mr. Zheng was put in solitary confinement. Despite the
hot weather, the door and the windows all remained shut, and he was forced to
stand, sit, and squat straight and still for hours. Police viciously beat him up
and repeatedly subjected him to electric shocks in order to force him to give up
his faith. All year round, he was not allowed to go to bed until 1 a.m. and had
to get up at 5 a.m. Zheng had gone on hunger strikes to protest the torture. 2. [Guangdong Province] The Jiexi 610 Office Officials Intimidate and Harass
