Persecution Crimes in Fanjiatai Prison
(Clearwisdom.net) [Note: The following is a shortened version of a longer and more detailed
article that appeared on the Minghui.org website (Chinese version of
Clearwisdom.net) on December 22, 2005.] On September 13, 2005, Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Xiong Jiwei was brutally
beaten in Fanjiatai Prison, which is located in Shayang County, Hubei Province.
Prison guards brutally kicked his chest with their leather boots. This cruel
beating lasted over 20 minutes. Prison Director Xiong Zuyong (male), guard Zhang
Jianguo (male), and Prison Doctor Zhang Dian (male) all witnessed the beating,
plus many guards were right outside the metal bars. Not a single person tried to
stop such brutality. For the next two weeks, Mr. Xiong Jiwei's body was covered
with bruises, and he experienced extreme pain whenever he coughed. After that beating incident, Warden Xiao Tianbo (male) did not discipline any
guards and, in fact, encouraged prisoners to beat practitioners. There were many
instances in which Xiao Tianbo, directly or indirectly, ordered prisoners to
beat practitioners. In March 2003, Mr. Xiong Jiwei was locked in solitary confinement because he
refused to watch a TV program that slandered Falun Dafa. On that day, Prisoner
Hu (male) was instructed to beat Mr. Xiong Jiwei. Mr. Xiong went on a hunger
strike to protest, and he was inhumanly tortured with force-feeding on the third
day. Guard Xiong Zuyon almost suffocated Mr. Xiong when he shouted, "Falun
Dafa is good!" Guard Zhang Jichuan stepped on Mr. Xiong's head and beat him
cruelly. They handcuffed Mr. Xiong to the metal bars. Mr. Xiong lost half of a
tooth during the beating. Posting date: 1/6/2006 |
