that damaged his central nervous system. In July 1999 after the persecution started, Mr. Chen went to Beijing twice to
appeal for Falun Gong. As a result, he was sent to the Baotou Forced Labor Camp
where he was viciously tortured. Then, on September 18, 2000, he was sent to the
Wuyuan Forced Labor Camp where he was again tortured. On March 2001, in a
meeting that was meant to slander and defame Falun Gong, he refused to denounce
Falun Gong. Mu Jianfeng and others handcuffed him behind his back openly at the
meeting and beat him in public. Later Mr. Chen was taken to the Third Brigade in
the Baotou Forced Labor Camp. The guards beat him repeatedly with plastic rods,
shocked him with electric batons, and handcuffed him. Zhang Tiefeng, Head of the
Management Division, tied a rope on Mr. Chen's arms and pulled him up abruptly.
Chen Zhanguo suffered from excruciating pain in his shoulders as a result of
this brutal torture. Officer Du Xiangyang electrically shocked Mr. Chen's
abdomen until he lost control of his bowels. Due to the torture, Mr. Chen's head
swelled up, his face was disfigured, and his body was covered with bruises. In 2001, Mr. Chen went back to work after he was released from the forced
labor camp. Since his employer was going to take him to a brainwashing center,
Mr. Chen was forced to give up his job and he became homeless. In 2003 Chen
Zhanguo was arrested in Lianyun Harbor for making truth-clarification materials
and was sentenced to seven years in prison. He is now in Hongzehu Prison in
Jiangsu Province. Hongzehu Prison, Jiangsu Province: 86-527-6471101 |
