Further Details About Mr. Xu Jishan's Death as the Result of Torture at Daqing City Prison
(Clearwisdom.net) As of July 2007, at least four Falun Gong practitioners
have been tortured to death at Daqing City Prison. They are Wang Hongde, Yuan
Qingjiang, Xu Jishan and Zhou Shuhai. At the time, practitioners Wang Hongde and Yuan Qingjiang were severely ill.
Wang Hongde developed severe heart failure. Yuan Qingjiang developed severe
brain tuberculosis, liver tuberculosis, tuberculosis of peritoneum and
testicular tuberculosis. The guards and the prison hospital officials put the
responsibility for the decision-making on each other and delayed the
practitioners' treatment. As a result, Yuan Qingjiang suffered organ failure and
lost consciousness. He died the day they transferred him out of Daqing City
Prison Hospital. As for Wang Hongde, he was close to death when he was released.
He died three months later. At around 8:00 a.m. on June 7, 2005, guards Li Fengjiang and Zhang Dezhi from
the 7th Division at the Daqing City Prison urged inmates to forcibly
"reform" practitioner Xu Jishan. Zhang Dezhi took charge and directed
the inmates to torture Xu Jishan. They stripped off his clothes and tied him to
bed boards (the two boards were crisscrossed), and threw him into the urinal in
the bathroom. They poured cold water on him from faucets and basins for four
hours, which resulted in Mr. Xu's choking death. When the inmates realized Mr. Xu Jishan had died from their abuse, they
hurriedly reported this to guard Zhang Dezhi. They put clothes on Xu Jishan's
body and hastily carried him to the Daqing City Prison Hospital. The 7th
Division head Li Fengjiang convened a meeting and told the inmates that Xu
Jishan had died of a heart attack. In addition, they threatened the inmates not
to speak at will. The following is the account record of the attempted emergency rescue of Xu
Jishan in the Daqing City Prison Hospital. The insiders sent this information
overseas. Xu Jishan, male, 41; 12:40 a.m. on a certain day & month, 2005 The situation of entering the hospital: Numerous inmates hastily carried him
to the ward of the Daqing City Prison Hospital. His face was dark, and his lips
were purple. He had no breath or pulse. His body was already cold. When we
called his name, he had no response. His hair and skin were wet and his body was
covered in scabies. Examination results: Loss of consciousness; Enlarged pupils with a diameter
of about 8 mm; No response to light. His face was dark and lips were purple. No
detectable pulse on the neck artery; no heartbeat; no autonomous respiration.
Blood pressure was 0/0 mmHg. The process of rescue: We urgently applied the compression on his heart from
his outer body. During this process of heart compression, water spurted two feet
high from his nostrils and mouth. We asked the inmates to hold his head
backwards and lean to the left, and then continued to apply the compression.
Water still spurted from his mouth and nostrils along with the compression. We
asked the assistant to connect the suction pump and oxygen cylinder. After two
or three minutes, the doctor on duty, Mei Hongfei, still could not detect any
autonomous respiration, and the blood pressure was 0/0 mmHg. We announced that
the rescue was ineffective and Xu was pronounced clinically dead. The emergency
rescue procedures took three or four minutes. (Police doctor Wang Haicheng was
present and said that he had seen a show, and then hurried off.) Diagnosis: respiratory cycle failure; death probably caused by choking on
water. Response: 1. Inform the prison hospital head; 2. Deal with issues arising
from this incident Previous report: http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2006/9/3/77617.html November 15, 2007 Posting date: 11/24/2007 |
