Mr. Xuan Huaiji from Zhangjiakou City is Being Tortured in Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp (Photo)

(Clearwisdom.net) At about 1:00 a.m. on October 10, 2005, eight police officers from Congli County Police Department of Zhangjiakou City broke into Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Xuan Huaijie's home at Xiaoshuiquan Brigade, Yimatu Township, in Congli County. Zhang Guisuo, chief of the National Security Division and Song Chunbin, head of the Yimatu Township Police Sub-Station in Congli County, forced their way through the gate of the courtyard, smashed the door of Mr. Xuan's home, dragged him out of the bed, and did not allow him to get dressed.

The police blindfolded and handcuffed Mr. Xuan. The handcuffs were tightened so tight that they cut into Mr. Xuan's wrists, and instantly the blood gushed out and dripped down his hands. Mr. Xuan shouted at the top of his lungs, "Falun Dafa is good!" The police left hastily. When Mr. Xuan's wife came out of the house they were already gone.

At about 2:00 a.m., the police brought Mr. Xuan to a hotel in Zhangjiakou City, and later sent him directly to Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp in Baoding City. Mr. Xuan shouted "Falun Dafa is good!" and "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!" all the way to the Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp. The police knew the warden, Liu Ning, at the No. 3 Division of the Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp, thus Mr. Xuan was taken in without going through any procedures or documentation.

Scars on Mr. Xuan Huaiji's face

The guards locked Mr. Xuan alone in the No. 3 Division of the Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp. During the first three days, Mr. Xuan clarified the truth to the staff of the forced labor camp. On the third night, he began to practice the exercises. Four guards rushed in and pushed him to the ground and beat him. They kicked, punched, and slapped him on his face. His face was swollen and bruised. The guards asked Mr. Xuan while beating him, "Do you still want to practice Falun Gong?" Mr. Xuan answered firmly, "Yes, I do!" More beatings followed, however each time after the beating he would answer "Yes" in a firmer voice. Finally the guards had to send him back to his cell. Mr. Xuan then began to practice the exercises and the guards did not take any action. Mr. Xuan refused to perform any labor in the forced labor camp. He stayed in the cell for five days, and clarified the truth to the inmates. On the ninth day, Mr. Xuan went on a hunger strike. After three days of hunger strike, the guards dragged him to the hospital for force-feeding. They did not allow Mr. Xuan to dress properly, and he was bare-footed and only wore pants with a big hole at the knees. Mr. Xuan refused to get in the car to go to the hospital. The guards dragged him into the car, held him to the floor and then took turns beating him. His teeth became loose and his cheeks were swollen. As a result, he could neither sit nor stand.

In the hospital, Mr. Xuan refused to cooperate when the feeding tube was being inserted. Three guards and an inmate pushed Mr. Xuan onto the ground and held his body, head and limbs. The weight of the four adults made Mr. Xuan see stars and caused his tears to run non-stop. For a very long period of time he could not see things clearly. The guards used special pliers to force open his mouth, and his front teeth became loose. Then they inserted one tube down his throat and another down his nose. This caused Mr. Xuan extreme pain and he also faced the danger of suffocation at any moment. He was fed with a mixture of a bit of milk powder and a large amount of salt. They force-fed him three times a day. Each time when he was taken back from the hospital after this procedure the guards purposely drove fast on the rough road to increase Mr. Xuan's misery. Xian was emaciated from the hunger strike, and he was not allowed to wear warm clothes. The rough ride in the car made him very miserable, but the guards took pleasure in it.

When coming back to the forced labor camp, the guards dragged him out of the car. The inmates pulled him by his clothes to the cell, while the guards kicked him from behind. Slowly, his shirt and pants were all torn. On the forty-first day of his hunger strike, he was beyond recognition and unable to talk. Mr. Xuan lost consciousness, and was as pale as a corpse. To avoid their responsibility, the guards released him on bail for medical treatment. They also wrote a guarantee statement and forcibly took Mr. Xuan's fingerprints and put them on the statement before they asked his family to pick him up. When his son came, the guards created many obstacles to make it impossible for him to meet his father. The guards used this trick to extort money from the family. They used three bags of milk powder and salt for force-feeding, for which they charged the family a thousand yuan. Mr. Xuan's son had to get a certificate of bail release from the local government and the local police sub-station.

On December 6, 2005, when Mr. Xuan Huaiji was on the verge of death, the guards from Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp again asked his son to pick him up. This time, his son got a certificate from the local government, but the police sub-station refused his request. Nearly 80 villagers signed a petition requesting the Yimatu Township to issue a certificate to release Mr. Xuan Huaiji immediately. When the guards at the forced labor camp learned that Mr. Xuan was really dying, they agreed to release him without even asking for a certificate. Upon returning home, Mr. Xuan's entire body was so swollen that he could not sit or move around.

Before this incident, in 2001, Mr. Xuan Huaiji was given three years of forced labor for practicing Falun Gong.
