The Crimes by the Evil Police Officers at Beijing Women's Prison
(Clearwisdom.net) The officials at the Beijing Women's Prison have
followed orders from the Chinese Communist Party and persecuted more than 200
Falun Gong practitioners held at the prison since 2000. The "work"
assigned to prison authorities and guards includes creating physical and mental
suffering at all costs. They do everything possible to force the practitioners
to lie, give up their belief in Falun Dafa [also known as Falun Gong], and even
to engage in immoral conduct, in order to completely destroy the practitioners. Under the guise of "civilized administration of the law" or
"regulated administration of the law," they commit all manner of
atrocities. The officials and guards at the prison know Falun Gong very well and
they also know that the persecution of Falun Gong is a violation of
international law, the constitution of China, and China's criminal law. They
know that the detained Falun Gong practitioners are good people, yet they still
persecute the practitioners to protect their positions and salaries. Below are descriptions of some of the officials and guards who persecute
Falun Gong practitioners at the Beijing Women's Prison. Zhang Shushun, in his sixties, is the former head of the prison. Tian
Fengqing, head of Division 3, brutally tortured practitioners between 2000 and
2003 in order to achieve a high ""reform" rate." Zhang
Shushun often had secret talks with Tian Fengqing. Zhang Shushun personally
delivered popsicles to practitioners and other detainees late at night in the
heat of summer, but at the same time encouraged guards and inmates to abuse
practitioners. Practitioner Ms. Dong Cuifang was beaten to death in 2003. Her
death was exposed and Zhang Shushun was forced to retire early. Qi Xiushan, in his fifties, is the deputy prison head and Party secretary. He
has always taken part in the torture of practitioners, although he is supposedly
in charge of prison safety. He likes Tian Fengqing and praises her, saying she
is "resourceful" and "bold." He tries very hard to cover up
the truth about the persecution. Zhou Ying is in her forties. Since 2000 she has been the prison deputy head
in charge of persecuting Falun Gong, and is also responsible for the overall
safety of the prison. In order to keep her job, she constantly pressures the
guards to persecute practitioners. Through coaxing and threats she has tried to
squelch those practitioners who tried to sue the prison and expose the brutal
persecution, including Ms. Yuan Lin, Ms. Xu Na, and Ms. Gong Ruiping.
Practitioner Ms. Xu Na wrote a letter to Zhou Ying after practitioner Ms. Dong
Cuifang was beaten to death in 2003, in which she exposed the persecution. Zhou Ying continued to back the abuse of practitioners at Division 3. She
ordered practitioner Xu Na to be sent to a solitary confinement cell and be
tortured in November 2003. Practitioner Yuan Lin said during a prison-wide
meeting in May 2004 that practitioners were beaten in Division 10. Zhou Ying and
Qi Xiushan ordered Liu Yingchun to charge practitioner Ms. Yuan Lin with
"disrupting order at a conference," and forced her undergo military
training. They said, "We can't let her [Yuan Lin] intimidate us." Ms.
Yuan went on a hunger strike. Zhou Ying eventually met with her and promised to
stop strictly monitoring and abusing practitioners in violation of this new rule
by the guards. In November 2004, however, she and prison head Li Ruihua again
pressured the guards. As a result, Zhen Yumei, head of Division 10, and guards
Niu Na, Xiao Rui, and Yan Chunling tortured practitioners Ms. Li Li, Ms. Yue
Changzhi, Ms. Zhou Zi, and others. Head of Division 8, Huang Qinghua, along with
guards Li Xiaona and Cao Yanmei, mentally tormented and physically abused
practitioners Ms. Li Xuebin, Ms. Gong Ruiping, and others. Liu Yingchun, head of Division 4, also tortured Ms. Sun Junying and other
practitioners. Zhou Ying is responsible for the guards' unscrupulous abuse of
Falun Gong practitioners. The World Organization to Investigate the Persecution
of Falun Gong (WOIPFG) published an announcement in November 2004 and listed
Zhou Ying as a target for investigation. She is personally responsible--in her
position as prison administrator--for the death of practitioner Ms. Dong Cuifang
and the persecution at the prison. Li Ruihua, head of prison, is in her forties. After she took over as head of
the prison, she received many awards for persecuting Falun Gong. Li Ruihua
boasts that the prison has a "new atmosphere," a "humane way of
control," a "civilized administration of the law," and a
"regulated administration of the law" in order to deceive the public.
At the same time, the prison officials are pressuring the guards to escalate the
persecution of practitioners in more devious and secretive ways. Li Ruihua is
responsible for shielding the guards from blame for the persecution. Weichi Weiqing is in his thirties and the former head of the prison. He was
later transferred. In 2004 he pressured the guards to persecute Falun Gong
practitioners. He repeatedly emphasized to the guards that they keep secret
everything that happens at the prison in order to prevent the truth about the
persecution from getting out. Gao Yunqi, in her forties, is the current head of the Prison Politics
Section. When she was a guard she encouraged the inmates to beat and torture
practitioners. She said to one inmate, "You can forget about sentence
reduction if you can't 'reform' her [a Falun Gong practitioner]." As a
result, the inmates insulted and attacked practitioners between 2000 and 2002.
After she was promoted to section head, she continued to oppress the
practitioners in the name of "protecting the interests of the prison."
During a 2003 meeting involving sentence reduction and parole, practitioner Ms.
Liu Shuxia spoke up and questioned policies regarding sentence reduction for
practitioners. Her questions were within the range of discussion of the meeting,
but Gao Yunqi persecuted her. Gao Yunqi spent one month deceiving practitioner Ms. Dong Cuifang's family
with false evidence after Ms. Dong was tortured to death. She did everything
possible to prevent Dong Cuifang's family from filing a lawsuit. The prison
eventually paid the family some hush money to be rid of the affair. Zhang Guofang, 30 years old, is head of the Education Section. She inspected
the solitary confinement cells in 2003. Practitioner Ms. Yuan Lin, who was being
held in one of the cells, told her about the guards' illegal acts. Zhang Guofang
told her the regime permitted those acts! On the other hand, to deceive people,
she vociferously boasted that the guards "administer the law in a regulated
manner." Jin Hua, in her forties, is the head of a Beijing Juvenile Correctional
Facility. Before the facility merged with the women's prison in early 2000, she
was responsible for five divisions at the facility and directed the persecution
of Falun Gong practitioners held there. Jin Hua, along with Huang Qinghua and
Zhen Yumei, heads of Division 8, tortured practitioners using sleep deprivation,
corporal punishment, verbal attacks, slave labor, and other methods. She faked
kindness to try to force the practitioners to condemn the Falun Dafa principles
of Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance. She deceived many practitioners. Huang Qinghua, female, 40 years old, head of Division 8, has been responsible
for brainwashing at Division 8 since 2000. She borrowed methods from the
Communist Party, such as "use one group of people to attack another
group" and "slap the target with the worst labels." She advocated
the Party's theories and glorified her role in the persecution of Falun Gong.
She pretended to care about practitioners' lives, families, and health and used
"soft" methods in an attempt to destroy the practitioners' willpower.
She combined hypocrisy with twisted theories about the Fa. She took advantage of
practitioners' kindness and tried to persuade them to give up their belief and
give up [filing] lawsuits against the prison. She won many awards, including one
merit award in 2005 for brainwashing practitioner Ms. Gong Ruiping. She won a
Third Class Merit Award in 2006. It is difficult to see through her mask. She
has deceived many people. This woman studies brainwashing theories and
undermines Dafa [by "reforming" practitioners]. Many practitioners
whom she brainwashed gradually realized her hypocrisy and returned to Dafa
practice. The WOIPFG has listed Huang Qinghua as a target of investigation. Zheng Yumei, in her forties, is the current head of Division 10. She was
previously the deputy head of Division 8 and was appointed head of Division 10
in 2004. When she took over Division 10, many practitioners had refused to
"reform." She ordered inmates, including Li Xiaomei and Jin Hongwei
who tortured practitioner Ms. Dong Cuifang to death, and Huang Xiaohong, to
abuse practitioners Ms. Li Li, Ms. Yu Changzhi, Ms. Zhou Zi, and others in more
sinister and deceptive ways. She received an award in 2005 for torturing
practitioner Li Li and "restoring order" in Division 10. She received
a Third Class Merit award in 2006 for "reforming" Falun Gong
practitioners. Tian Fengqing, in her forties, is the former head of Division 3. She openly
tortured practitioners Ms. Lei Xiaoting, Ms. Wu Dan, Ms. Gong Ruiping, Ms. Yuan
Lin, Ms. Xu Na, Ms. Dong Cuifang, Ms. Zhao Zhisheng, Ms. Yue Changzhi, Ms. Wu
Lanlan, Ms. Liu Xiuqin, Ms. Dong Yanhong, Ms. Zhao Guimin, Ms. Zhao Xiuhuan and
many others. Ms. Dong Cuifang was tortured to death, Ms. Yuan Lin and Ms. Gong Ruiping
were disabled from torture, and Ms. Gong Ruiping also suffered a mental
collapse. Tian Fengqing is personally responsible for the death of practitioner
Dong Cuifang. She stepped down in 2004 and currently works at the cafeteria for
prison officials. Because of the prison officials' cover-up efforts and their
efforts to shield her from justice, she has not been prosecuted for her crimes.
WOIPFG listed Tian Fengqing as a target of investigation in November 2004. Liu Yingchu, in her thirties, is the current head of Division 4. Practitioner
Ms. Yuan Lin shouted, "[Officials at] Division 10 beat people!" during
a prison-wide meeting in 2004. Liu Yingchun, head of the Education Division at
the time, accused Ms. Yuan of "disrupting the order of the meeting"
and made her do military drills. Later, Liu Yingchun became the head of Division
4 and was in charge of persecution and brainwashing. She summarized
"reform" "tips" and faked kindness in line with the Party's
propaganda: Always find fault with practitioners and use it as an excuse to
persecute them, set up many mini prison cells and isolate practitioners in those
cells while brainwashing them with slanderous lies, try to incite hatred toward
determined practitioners among other practitioners, and coerce the practitioners
to give up their belief by taking advantage of their love for their families.
This woman also haunted determined practitioners Ms. Tian Yuhua, Ms. Lu Shumin,
Ms. He Tongjuan, Ms. Liang Zhansheng, and Ms. Du Juan and deceived newly
arrested practitioners, including Ms. Liu Bing. She encouraged the inmates to
torture practitioners, deprive them of sleep, and attack them verbally and
physically. All the while she pretended she wasn't aware of the persecution and
put on a facade of "civilized administration of the law." She received
a Third Class Merit Award in 2006 for "reforming" Falun Gong
practitioners. Li Xiaona, in her thirties, is the current head of Division 1. She was a
group head in Division 8 in 2001 and was quickly promoted for achieving a high
"reform" rate. She was appointed the head of Division 1 in 2005 and
was in charge of brainwashing practitioners. Xi Xuehui, in her twenties, was previously the deputy head of Division 3. She
brutally tortured practitioners Ms. Gong Ruiping, Ms. Xu Na, Ms. Zhao Zhisheng,
and others. She supervised the abuse of Ms. Zhao Zhisheng and said to her,
"Don't you dare tell anyone about this incident [of abuse], ever." She
led five inmates including Li Xiaomei, Li Xiaobing, and Jin Hongwei to drag Ms.
Dong Cuifang to a warehouse and beat her while she waited outside. Ms. Dong died
from torture several hours later. Xi Xuehui is personally responsible for Ms.
Dong Cuifang's death. She was transferred soon afterwards and is now working in
the correctional field in the community. She has not been prosecuted for her
crimes. Chen Jing, in her 20s, was previously the head of a group at Division 3. She
followed instructions from Tian Fengqing and participated numerous times in the
abuse of practitioners. She obtained Party membership [as a reward] in 2003
during the SARS epidemic for savagely torturing practitioners Ms. Gong Ruiping
and Ms. Yuan Lin. She tortured Ms. Yuan Lin in November 2003 until Ms. Yuan's
ears were severely injured. She was assigned to torture practitioners Ms. Xu Na
and Ms. Gong Ruiping in December 2003. She told the practitioners to hit each
other and "talked" to practitioners who refused to follow this order.
She personally beat the practitioners and broke Ms. Gong Ruiping's legs. Ms.
Gong also had bruises all over her body, and her face was swollen from the
beating. Chen Jing tortured practitioners Ms. Yue Changzhi, Ms. Zhao Xiuhuan and
others in 2004. Ms. Yue's lower back was injured from the beating. Chen was
transferred later that year and is now a group head at Division 2. She has not
been prosecuted for her crimes. Zhang Hua, female, around 30 years of age, was a group head at Division 3 and
became deputy head of Division 4 later on. Now she is deputy head of Division 1.
She followed instructions from division head Tian Fengqing and persecuted
practitioners Ms. Gong Ruiping, Ms. Yuan Lin, Ms. Xu Na, Ms. Wu Lanlan and
others. Niu Na, female, 30 years old, is the current deputy head of Division 1. She
followed orders from division head Zheng Yumei and brutally tortured
practitioners Ms. Li Li and others. Zhao Haixia, in her thirties, ruthlessly tortured practitioner Ms. Yuan Lin
during the SARS epidemic in 2003 when she joined the Party. Fu Yi, in her thirties, is currently the deputy head of Division 10. She
followed orders from division head Zheng Yumei and persecuted practitioners held
at Division 10. Xiao Rui, in her thirties, is currently the deputy head of Division 10. She
followed orders from division head Zheng Yumei and persecuted practitioners Ms.
Li Li and others at Division 10. Cao Yanmei, in her thirties, has persecuted practitioners Ms. Li Xuebin and
others at Division 8 since 2002. She is now the deputy head of Division 8. Li Wei, in her thirties, is currently the deputy head of Division 4. She
followed orders from division head Liu Yingchun and persecuted practitioners
held at Division 4. Chen Dongmei, in her thirties, tortured practitioner Ms. Zhang Guolan in 2003
by not allowing her to sleep for one month. She didn't allow Ms. Zhang to wash
herself during the time she was held at the prison. Zheng Fangfang, in her thirties, persecuted practitioner Ms. Zhang Guolan
with one month of sleep deprivation and by forbidding her from washing herself
during the time she was held at the prison. He Yun, in her thirties, followed orders from Tian Fengqing and persecuted
practitioners held at Division 8 between 2002 and 2004. She now works at
Division 1. We ask that the WOIPFG and CIPFG consider the above facts. Please file cases,
verify the facts, and investigate the cases. Contact information for some of the officials who persecuted Falun Gong: Li Ruihua, head of prison: 86-10-60276688 ext. 8001 Qi Xiushan, head of prison: 86-13621066012 (Cell) Zhou Ying, deputy head of prison: 86-10-60276688 ext. 8003, 86-13701383101
