Mudanjiang City (Heilongjiang Province) Prison Guards Force-feed Practitioner Heart Medicine to Allow for Prolonged Electric-shock Torture
(Clearwisdom.net) Guards in the No. 8 Ward at the Mudanjiang Prison,
Heilongjiang Province, use brutal and inhumane methods to persecute Falun Gong
practitioners. The torture methods include handcuffing practitioners' wrists
behind their backs; shocking with electric batons and beating with plastic
tubes; gang beating one practitioner at a time; solitary confinement;
handcuffing and shackling and then tying a practitioner up to a metal ring fixed
in the ground for a long time. The guards keep inventing new torture methods. On March 23, 2007, Falun Gong practitioner Wang Mingzhu wrote words that
clarified the truth about Falun Gong on his arm. The guards then
handcuffed his arms behind his back and pushed him into a washroom that is often
used as a site for beatings and torture. They pushed him to the ground and
force-fed him heart medicine before applying the torture. Fearing that electric
baton shocking would precipitate a heart attack and Wang Mingzhu might die, the
guards force-fed him heart medication pills so they could torture him at will.
They ordered a common inmate named Wang Lijun to put Wang Mingzhu's neck in
between his legs in a strangle-hold while guard Jiang Lei beat Wang Mingzhu with
a plastic tube and other guards -- Zhang Shengli, Sun Jian and Wu Xuejun --
punched and kicked Mr. Wang and shocked his body including his genital area with
an electric baton. They did not stop until the electric baton was out of power.
Zhang Shengli shouted, "This is law enforcement!" They subsequently
detained Wang Mingzhu in a solitary cell for two weeks. His body was still black
and blue when he came out of the solitary cell. On March 31, 2007, the provincial Prison Authority Bureau held a "report
conference" at a workshop in the No. 3 Ward. Hearing slanderous things said
about Dafa at the conference, practitioner Huang Guodong spoke out loudly,
"Stop slandering Master Li! Stop slandering!" The guards immediately
beat and kicked Mr. Huang in front of several hundred witnesses. They then
dragged him to a washroom in the No. 8 Ward where guards Sun Jian, Zhang Shengli,
Song Junpiao and others shocked him with electric batons and kicked and punched
him until they were exhausted. Huang Guodong was nearly 60 years old. He was
black and blue all over and could not move after the violent beating. He was
then dragged to a solitary cell, in handcuffs and shackles, and chained to an
iron ring on the ground for eight days. On April 2, 2007, guards Wu Xuejun,
Jiang Lei and Sun Jian arrived, each holding an electric baton, and brutally
tortured Huang Guodong. They also urged an inmate to beat Huang Guodong every
day. When Huang Guodong came out of the solitary confinement cell two weeks
later, one of his legs was disabled, and yet he was still forced to do slave
labor in the workshop. A list of perpetrators at the Mudanjiang Prison: May 30, 2007 Posting date: 6/10/2007 |
