Beijing's Qianjin Prison Authorities Relentlessly Torture Pharmacist Mr. Wu Yinchang in Attempt to Force Him to Renounce Falun Gong
(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Wu Yinchang, a pharmacist who worked at the Xiyuan
Hospital of the Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, was born in 1966 and
began cultivation practice in Falun Dafa in 1996. He was illegally
sentenced to one year of detention in Tuanhe Forced Labor Camp in 2001,
and was unreasonably dismissed by the Xiyuan Hospital of the Academy of
Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2002. In November of 2002, Mr. Wu was once again
arrested for mailing truth-clarification videos, and was sentenced
to seven years of imprisonment. He was jailed in the 12th Division of
Beijing's Qianjin Prison on January 8, 2004 and was then transferred to the
Ninth Division. When Wu Yinchang was on trial, his father-in-law passed away
under the heavy stress, and his mother-in-law was paralyzed in bed without the
ability to take care of herself. All of the family burdens fell on the shoulders
of his wife, who was also parenting their three-year-old son. When Wu Yinchang was imprisoned in the 12th Division, he was
locked in a "small cell" several times for his refusal to give up
Falun Gong. Several inmates were assigned to monitor him. Every day his sleep
was totally under the control of these monitors. When they thought he was
controllable one day, they might let him sleep for three to four hours, and when
they felt he was "unpleasing to the eye" on another day, they would
wake him up as soon as he fell asleep. The persecutors use these methods to
torture practitioners; outsiders can see no signs of abuse on the surface, but
this mental torture can cause a person to suffer a mental collapse. Mr. Wu was usually only allowed to sleep for one or two hours every day. He
was often beaten and verbally abused. He was forbidden from bathing, was
restricted in relieving himself and forced to sit on a board for long periods of
time. He was frequently locked in the dark "small cell" for one to two
months, or even longer. Due to the inhuman torture, Wu Yinchang was in poor
health and became very thin and weak. But his situation never got any sympathy
from the guards or the monitors. In October of 2004, Chen Jun, the political
head of the 12th Division, beat Wu Yinchang so brutally that he
passed out. On August 9, 2005, because he refused to give in and renounce Falun Dafa, Wu
Yinchang was transferred to the Ninth Division, which was even more vicious. The
political head of the division at that time was Cao Lihua. Mr. Wu was also
locked in the "small cell" frequently in the Ninth Division. From
September of 2005 to April of 2006, because he was steadfast in his belief in
Dafa, Mr. Wu was deprived of the privilege of monthly visits with family members
and calling home. Apart from a brief one-time visit with his wife and son in
April of 2006, he was consistently forbidden to visit with his wife, who is also
a Falun Gong practitioner. They even posted slanderous statements about Wu
Yinchang and his wife on the wall of the visitors' office. Wu Yinchang's family members went to the Beijing Prison Management Bureau and
other relevant organizations repeatedly to appeal. The Procuratorial Division of
the Qinghe Police Department and the Procuratorial Section of the Qianjin Prison
denied their abuse of Wu Yinchang and claimed that it was Wu Yinchang who beat
others. Furthermore, the policemen from the Police Department in the Haidian
District of Beijing kept harassing Mr. Wu's wife, threatening: "All the
materials about you are in our hands...". Wu Yinchang has a very good
reputation at his workplace and among his relatives and neighbors. The
defamatory statement from the prison management organizations enraged many of
his friends and relatives, including his relatives abroad. After his family members' persistent appeals to the Prison Management Bureau,
the Qianjin Prison had to allow for Wu Yinchang's monthly visit from his family
members. Nevertheless, the prison authorities still created great difficulties
for Wu Yinchang. They blocked the scheduled visits many times, and forbade the
visit until all the other visits were over; the excuse being they were showing
"concern for his family members." After the visit the shuttle bus
taking the visiting family members home was no longer available (the Qianjin
Prison is in the suburb of Tianjin and far away from Beijing ), so the family
members had to return to Beijing at their own expense. In addition, the guards
stood close to Wu Yinchang and his family members during the visit, monitoring
their conversation. From June to July of 2006, with all four of his limbs shackled, Mr. Wu was
forced to sit on the concrete ground continuously without sleeping for over 10
days. On the following several days he could only sleep for a little while and
was beaten and cursed by the monitors frequently. He also had to ask for
permission when he needed to relieve himself. After those 10 days, his wrists
and ankles were all bruised and his buttocks were blistered from sitting. Every
time the family members visited him they saw new injuries on his body from
beatings by the monitors. Sometimes they saw him trembling during the visit, and
sometimes they found him unable to walk. Whenever the talk touched upon the
persecution, the guard on duty would immediately stop them. When the family
members went to question the political head of the Ninth Division, the reply
was: "It is not wrong to treat him like that. It is all due to his
stubbornness..." We hope that Dafa disciples all around the world can concentrate their
righteous thoughts with high force to eliminate the evil here, and also use
other means to clarify the truth on a large scale to the higher levels of
management organizations at Qianjin Prison. This includes the guards of the
prison, as well as the criminal inmates. At the same time we can try our best to
pass on encouraging news and strength to the Dafa disciples inside the prisons
so as to help them think and act righteously and have the evil persecution stop
sooner. Note: Recently, Cao Lihua is no longer the political head of the Ninth
Division of the Qianjin Prison. The surname of the successor is Liu, who might
be the former deputy political head Liu Guanghui. Contact information of several relevant persons and agencies who are
