The Suffering of Practitioner Mr. Cheng Huazheng in His 60s at Bazhong Labor Camp in Guizhou Province
(Clearwisdom.net) Three years ago, Cheng Huazheng, a Falun Gong
practitioner from Anshun City, Guizhou Province, was perfectly healthy. But now,
due to the tortures he experienced in a labor camp, he is skinny and weak, his
body is covered with wounds and his previously black hair is gray. He cannot
walk normally and his mental health has been damaged too. Before the
persecution, he had perfect teeth, but in the labor camp, most of his teeth were
knocked out. Now, he cannot chew anything, and his gums bleed whenever he tries
to eat something. He is out of the labor camp now, but he is very weak. He
vomits blood daily due to internal injuries and he is in a very dangerous
situation. Cheng Huazheng was part of a happy family of four before Falun Gong was
persecuted. Since Jiang Zemin's gang launched the persecution, three members of
his family, who are Falun Gong practitioners, were persecuted. They were forced
to leave their home and become destitute. They were jailed. In order to threaten
Mr. Cheng, policemen even arrested his second daughter, who is not a
practitioner. Cheng Huazheng and his first daughter were sentenced to labor
camps. In the labor camp, Mr. Cheng's mental health was damaged. His wife, Wu
Guiying, a practitioner, has been threatened and harassed by policemen for a
long time. His first daughter, Cheng Mei, who is only in her twenties, was
jailed in a detention center, where her right leg was broken due to beatings. Cheng Huazheng was forced to leave his house. He became homeless on July 15,
2002. To clarify the truth about Falun Gong to the public, Cheng
passed out truth-clarifying fliers and other materials in Xishan Village, Anshun
City. He was beaten by a group of thugs and was badly injured. The thugs sent
him to Huaxi Police Station. Later the police station sent him to a detention
center, where he was badly beaten by criminals again. People from the 610 Office and the police station in Xixiu
District wanted to make Mr. Cheng's case high-profile and sentenced him to jail
so that they would get awarded by the government. To do that, they arrested his
wife and daughter, and forced him to admit that he had produced thousands of
copies of truth-clarifying materials, which didn't even exist. After being
jailed in the detention center for six months, Mr. Cheng was sent to Zhongba
Forced Labor Camp in Qingzhen Town without any legal trial. During the three
years he spent in the third team of the fifth division of Zhongba Forced Labor
Camp, he was badly tortured and his mental heath was destroyed. a. Forcibly deprived of sleep for one week Encouraged by financial rewards and Jiang Zemin's mandate that "deaths
of Falun Gong practitioners from beatings are counted as suicides," the
policemen in the labor camp tortured Falun Gong practitioners, trying to
"transform" them. Policemen used many kinds of torture on Cheng Huazheng, like forcing him to
stand or bend down for long stretches of times and depriving him of sleep for a
week or more. Policemen ordered criminals to monitor him in turns. When they
found that Mr. Cheng's eyes were closed, they would beat and kick him or throw
things at him. Cheng Huazheng was forced to stand up straight for long periods
of time. Whenever he tried to take a break, the criminals beat him or kicked his
legs. b. The criminals struck Mr. Cheng's face for hours, knocking out most of his
teeth Policemen promised criminals a reduction of their sentence if they were
willing to help to "transform" Falun Gong practitioners. Criminal Feng
Jianlin and policeman Yang Renshou beat Mr. Cheng on his face from each side,
and they often did this for hours. Criminal Du Xin and Wang Jian and policeman
Li also beat his face. The beating caused his lips and cheeks to bleed badly.
Due to the torture, most of Mr. Cheng's teeth were knocked out, which made
chewing almost impossible. The criminals also rubbed Mr. Cheng's face with a very dirty cloth, and
inserted the cloth into his mouth before beating him. Du Xin tried to force him
to eat feces. The criminals often tied Cheng Huazheng up and inserted dirty
cloths into his mouth before beating him. Sometimes, the criminals beat him down
to the ground and stood on his body. In the winter, criminal Li Zhongyong beat
Mr. Cheng and forced him to lie on the cold floor. Once, the policemen Yun
Changchun and Huang hit Mr. Cheng's head against the hard floor, which made his
head bleed profusely. The criminals always threatened that if they beat him to
death, they would bury him in the mountain behind the labor camp, and nobody
would know about his death. c. The beating caused fractures and internal injuries Under orders from the policemen, criminals Feng Jianlin and Du Xin beat Mr.
Cheng frequently. This broke Mr. Cheng's ribs. The pain in his ribs lasted for 3
months. Once, the criminal Wang Suobiao twisted Mr. Cheng's hand and broke bones
in his left hand. He could not hold anything with his left hand for three months
due to the pain. The beatings caused Mr. Cheng severe internal injuries. He
vomits blood even now due to the internal injuries. d. Mr. Cheng almost died in the solitary cell due to the torture Most of the policemen in the labor camp have been involved in torturing Falun
Gong practitioners. Due to the practitioners' efforts, some criminals learned
the truth about Falun Gong, so they were not willing to torture practitioners
anymore. Policemen found that the criminals were not very active in torturing
practitioners, so they tortured the practitioners themselves. There was a
policeman, Yang Renshou, in the third team of the fifth division, who directed
and was involved in most of the torture of Falun Gong practitioners. Mr. Cheng was jailed in a solitary cell and beaten more than 20 times during
the three years. To avoid being seen when torturing practitioners, policemen
often jailed practitioners in a solitary cell to torture them. The practitioners
who were jailed in the solitary cell were often tortured in the cell for several
weeks, sometimes even several months. The cell is humid and dark. Policemen
forced practitioners to sleep on the hard floor without any bedding. Policemen
didn't give practitioners any toilet paper or other daily necessities. Once, the policemen covered Mr. Cheng's mouth and nose with clothes and
suffocated him. They also burned his palms with cigarettes. Once, Cheng spoke
out on behalf of Falun Dafa, so Yang Renshou and several criminals beat him in
the solitary cell. Yang beat him with an iron bar, which caused many open wounds
on his legs. It was winter time when the blood was frozen on the ground. To eliminate the
evidence, policemen tried to wash his pants, which were soaked in blood. Mr.
Cheng tried to stop them. Later, the policemen were afraid that the blood would
not be washed off, so they stole the pants from him and threw them away. Mr.
Cheng was beaten all night and he passed out. The policemen didn't stop until
they were tired. e. Mental torture Many Falun Gong practitioners gave into the high pressure and did things they
shouldn't have because of the torture. To help those practitioners who
enlightened along an evil path or accepted "transformation" to come
back to cultivation, Mr. Cheng talked to them one by one at great risk to
himself and tried to convince them to write "solemn declarations."
With his help, many practitioners who were "transformed" submitted
their "solemn declarations" to the policemen, and told the policemen
that the transformation statements that they had made under torture were void.
The labor camp office was full of practitioners showing their solemn statements
to the policemen. To stop Mr. Cheng's effort and separate him from other
practitioners, policemen jailed him in an intensively watched cell. The policemen tied him up, but somehow Cheng broke the ropes and ran out of
the cell. He ran to the yard and cried: "Falun Dafa is good! Falun Dafa is
good!" His behavior shocked the evil and touched other practitioners. f. Forced to do heavy labor The labor camp forces every Falun Gong practitioner to do labor. The
policemen forced Mr. Cheng to sweep the cells and the yard. He had to do the
work under the scorching sun for more than 10 hours every day. To avoid being seen by others when beating Falun Gong practitioners, the
policemen always jailed the practitioners that they were torturing in a solitary
cell, and often changed the cell location. Since he could walk around when
sweeping the yard, Cheng Huazheng always took this chance to look for
practitioners who were jailed in secret solitary cells. He secretly delivered
many daily necessities like bedding and clothing to those practitioners. He was
often beaten by the policemen for doing it. Once, when policeman Yang saw Mr.
Cheng delivering a quilt to a practitioner in a solitary cell, he held his
clothes and dragged him around the yard. Whenever Mr. Cheng saw the policemen
torturing a practitioner, he always stood up and tried to protect the
practitioner. He was often beaten by the policemen for doing that. One of the
policemen, who always beat Mr. Cheng, is Jing Jian. g. The ones who "enlightened" on an evil path tried to ignore him Under the high pressure and tortures, some people gave up their faith. Those
who went down an evil path tried to avoid Cheng. Cheng always tried to help and
protect other practitioners, but those who turned against Dafa never helped him
when he was jailed in the solitary cell, although they knew where he was jailed. Mr. Cheng was tortured in the labor camp for a long time before his family
knew about it. His family went to the labor camp many times, asking them to send
him to the hospital. The labor camp refused to do so, and didn't allow Mr.
Cheng's family to visit him. Cheng's sister-in-law and his daughter, who is also
a practitioner and was disabled due to the persecution, went to the provincial
level departments to appeal for Mr. Cheng. His sister-in-law was already 70
years old. The tension and the appealing exhausted her and she had been unwell
for a long time. Appealing for her dad also exhausted Cheng Huazheng's daughter.
None of the provincial level departments treated them seriously, and gave them
all kinds of excuses why they could not send him to the hospital. Now, Mr.
Cheng's wife, Wu Guiying, has to take care of her daughter and her husband, who
is in an extremely weak condition. The people who tortured Cheng Huazheng: Policemen: Li (Political Head), Yang Renshou, Yu (Team Leader), Chen Ge, Jing
