Yanji City Practitioner Zhang Xingcai Was Brutally Persecuted in Jiutai Forced Labor Camp
(Clearwisdom.net) Since July 20, 1999, Mr. Zhang Xingcai, 58 years old, a
resident of Yanji City Development Zone in Jilin Province, has been persecuted
many times by the Chinese Communist Party for practicing Falun Gong. In October 2000, because he approached various government departments to
clarify the truth, Mr. Zhang was sentenced to two years of forced
labor by the Yanji City National Security Team. During those two years, he was
tortured numerous times in Yanbian and Jiutai labor camps. He was forced to
undergo numerous brainwashing sessions. He was released and allowed to go home
towards the end of 2002. Yanbian and Jiutai labor camps resorted to various inhumane torture methods
to reform practitioners. One of the torture methods used was to wake the
practitioners up as early as 4:30 a.m. and make them sit on plastic backless
stools for up to 15 hours a day. The practitioners had to sit upright and
straight, at a 90-degree angle, with both hands placed in front of the knees and
eyes staring straight at the blackboard in front. This prolonged sitting caused
some of the practitioners' buttocks to become inflamed and eventually infected.
Their oozing wounds would stick to their clothing, causing them extreme pain and
itchiness. The suffering was unbearable. They were not allowed to move or turn
their heads while sitting. They were not allowed to utter a word. Young or old,
healthy or sick, failure to comply would be met with severe punishment such as
kicks and punches. This routine was carried out everyday, as if in a military
camp, and the torture rituals would last several hours everyday. After Zhang Xingcai's release from the camp in 2002, the neighborhood
administration office and 610 Office personnel regarded him as a key
surveillance target. Also, at the approach of every sensitive date, these two
government entities would harass him. On the morning of November 1, 2006, officers from Jiangong Police Station in
Yanji City colluded with the police from Shengli Police Station in Dunhua City
to illegally enter Zhang Xingcai's house and fraudulently place him under house
arrest. They also ransacked his home and confiscated his family's belongings.
Mr. Zhang was "illegally detained" in Dunhua Detention Center for 15
days before being released. On September 13, 2007, around 8:30 a.m., five public security officers from
Yanji City suddenly broke into Zhang Xingcai's home and seized him. On September
30, Yanji City Public Security Bureau hurriedly illegally sentenced
Mr. Zhang and three other practitioners to the notorious Yinmahe Labor Camp in
Jiutai and Heizhizhi Labor Camp in Changchun City, Jilin Province. Zhang Xingcai
was given a one-and-a-half-year sentence. These arrests were conducted by the
Yanbian State Politics and Law Committee in collaboration with the 610 Office
and the Yanbian State Public Security Department. In anticipation of the
Seventeenth Chinese Communist Party's National Congress meeting, these arrests
were planned well in advance so the meeting could take place smoothly. Recently, Jiutai Forced Labor Camp in Jilin Province intensified the severity
of its tactics in dealing with practitioners that refuse to give up their
belief. When Zhang Xingcai refused to renounce his belief and
"transform," the camp guard used the prolong sitting torture from 4
a.m. to 10 p.m.. Mr. Zhang has also been starved. His everyday rations consisted
of only two tiny steamed black buns that hardly filled his stomach. Zhang
Xingcai can now hardly even walk. Wangqing practitioner Li Wenzhi from Yanbian is also being brutally treated
in Jiutai Forced Labor Camp for refusing to renounce Falun Gong. When he
resorted to a hunger strike to protest the inhumane persecution, this was met
with daily force-feeding with half-cooked corn flour mixed with salt. The forced
feeding continued for at least another month after he gave up fasting. Mr. Li's
once healthy body is now reduced to a mere shadow of his former self. It is reported that Jiutai Forced Labor Camp is now concentrating all
practitioners together to continue to carry out their brutal tactics. We appeal to all kindhearted people from around the world to extend their
generous support to stop this bloody and inhumane persecution. A partial list of individuals and local governments participating in the
