Falun Dafa Disciple Mr. Ma Zhiwu, from Ningxia Autonomous Region, Illegally Detained for Almost Seven Years
(Clearwisdom.net) Ma Zhiwu was a staff member in the sub-bureau office
of the railroad system in Yinchuan City. He was illegally arrested
in Beijing when he went to appeal for Falun Gong in September of 1999. Because
he didn't want to give up his practice, he was persecuted at the Yinchuan
Detention Center. The abuse he had to endure included beatings, being hung up
with his hands cuffed behind the back, being forced to wear heavy torture
instruments and other tortures. He was unconstitutionally imprisoned in a forced
labor camp for three years. Since he protested the persecution by going on a
hunger strike in the labor camp in 2000, he was then unlawfully sentenced to six
years in October 2001. He then experienced persecution in the Wuzhong Prison. Ma Zhiwu suffered from all kinds of torture during seven years imprisonment.
For example, he was brutally beaten numerous times by policemen or other
criminals using leather tubes, pickaxe handles, rubber sticks and/or electric
batons. He was forbidden to fall asleep continuously for two weeks. Other
tortures included two months of being hung up with hands cuffed behind the back,
hanging up in the air, sitting on a tiger bench, baking under the hot sun for a
long time, having bricks tied around the neck, tying sand bags on the lower
legs, being put in shackles, violent force-feeding, and other abuses. Ma Zhiwu went on a number of hunger strikes and refused to drink water more
than ten times to protest the persecution. The total strike time amounted to
over two months. The police in the Wuzhong Prison awarded points and reduced the
sentence of criminals who supported the persecution and carried out the tortures
on Ma Zhiwu. According to what the released prisoners said, in less than one
year, prisoners, as a group, beat Ma Zhiwu brutally on four occasions. In order
to cover up their wrongdoings, for the past two years the police prohibited Ma
Zhiwu's family member from visiting him. They also threatened the prisoners who
were about to get released, "No leaking of prison secrets." They
prevent even a word of truth about the persecution to reach the outside. In the
meantime, they prevented prisoners from Yinchuan City from getting close to Ma
Zhiwu. Ma Zhiwu's wife is Dafa practitioner Sun Yajuan. She has had a difficult time
making a living for herself and their young daughter. Some evildoing persons
often illegally rushed in and searched her house. To force her to give up the
practice, police from the West Garden station in Yinchuan took away Sun Yajuan's
two-year-old daughter on Nov. 20, 2001, as blackmail and to threaten her Within a two-year period, Sun Yajuan went back and forth between Wuzhong
Prison and the Yinchuan Prison Management Bureau many times, but her request to
see Ma Zhiwu was denied without reason. His daughter met her father in prison
only a few times over these seven years. Related staff Wang Chengdong, Prison Management Bureau chairman: 86-13323506289(Cell),
