Facts about the Persecution of Mr. Kang Zhiguo in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province and How He Suffered Before His Death
(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Kang Zhiguo, who was born in 1954, was a
mechanical and electrical worker with the Xishan Coal Electricity Group Inc. in
Taiyuan City. He started practicing Falun Dafa in 1997. After July 20, 1999, he
appealed in front of the gate of the Shanxi Provincial Committee and was
illegally arrested. In February 2000, he went to Beijing to appeal
and was again arrested. Later he was sent to a labor camp for one year. In 2002, head of Fudi Police Station Zhang Zishan, political instructor Zhang
Shiping, and deputy heads Ma Baoyin and Wang Zhiliang (these four persecuted
Dafa disciple Yang Qingmin to death) forced Mr. Kang to write a "guarantee
statement." He was forced to leave home with another practitioner, Li
Guozheng, to avoid further persecution. On October 1, 2002, when Mr. Kang was distributing materials in the Xinghua
South District in Taiyuan City, he was arrested by CCP agents. They had formed a
special case team called "Critical Case 101" and arrested more than 20
practitioners. Yang Mingxi, the deputy head of Wanbolin District Public Security
Bureau, was appointed leader of the case; Zheng Yongsheng of an anti-narcotics
team was appointed deputy head. They brutally tortured Kang Zhiguo and other
practitioners. At Wanbolin Detention Center, prisoner Wu Ke tortured and beat Mr. Kang many
times. On December 9, 2002, practitioner Ding Liyan was persecuted to death at
Taiyuan Detention Center. On July 22, 2003, practitioner Wang Zhiming was
tortured to death by Jia Junfeng, the deputy head of Wanbolin Detention Center,
Dr. Ma, and other officials. Policeman Zheng Yongsheng shot both Zhong
Zhongjiang and Meng Fengwei in the legs and crippled both practitioners. At the beginning of November 2003, Mr. Kang was imprisoned at the fifth ward
zone (the former fourth ward zone) of Jinzhong Prison in Shanxi Province.
Prison guard instructor Zhao Weizhong of the first brigade threatened to
"transform" him. At the end of December, they launched the first round
of concentrated force and violence. They ordered the prisoners to persecute Mr.
Kang. Zhao Weizhong promised those criminals that as long as they
"transformed" Kang Zhiguo, they could use any means they chose. He
just cared about the result, not the process. As long as they could
"transform" Kang Zhiguo, there would be no problem getting their
sentences reduced. He could reduce their terms as much as he chose. They tortured Mr. Kang by forcing him to sit for long periods of time without
moving and to stand without moving for a long time. A prisoner named Duan Shi, a
murderer from Linfen, Shanxi Province, who had a postponed death sentence, beat
Mr. Kang every day. The scenes were horrible to witness. Only after Mr. Kang
became paralyzed from the beatings were his tormentors slightly restrained. The
persecution lasted for one month. In May 2004, a new round of persecution started. This time, the prison guards
employed even more wicked prisoners. A murderer named Hou Senbiao, a gang
kidnapper from Taiyuan, Shanxi, serving a 20-year term, beat Kang Zhiguo
mercilessly with a wooden club. Mr. Kang shouted "Help!" Prison guard
Li Weiping from Pingyao heard Mr. Kang. He did not stop the criminal but instead
said to Kang, "What are you shouting about!" Then Li forced Kang
Zhiguo to stand with his face against the wall. The other prisoners involved in the beatings included Wang Jingdong, a
murderer from Qingdao, Shandong Province, who was imprisoned for life, and Hu
Wenxue from Shanxi Province. This time, the persecution lasted for three
months. Mr. Kang Zhiguo was beaten until he was paralyzed in January 2004. On May 18,
2005, he suffered a relapse. Three days later, he died. Those who orchestrated the event were Kong Xiangjing and Zhao Weizhong,
political instructors of the prison guards in the fifth ward zone. Those
directly responsible for Mr. Kang's death were prisoners Duan Shi, Hou Senbiao,
Wang Jingdong, and Hu Wenxue. Related article: http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2005/6/23/62173.html January 03, 2007.
