Guards and Inmates Collude to Mistreat Falun Dafa Practitioners in the Wangcun Labor Camp (Shandong Province)
(Clearwisdom.net) Since Jiang Zemin launched the persecution of Falun
Gong, the prison guards in the Wangcun Labor Camp in Wangcun Town, Zibo City of
Shandong Province have been using inmates to torture Falun Dafa practitioners
with brutal means that one cannot imagine. In the eighth ward, the guards have established a "Strictly Managed
Group". Several inmates were placed there to "strictly control"
Falun Gong practitioners. In December 2006, Mr. Wang Zhaohua was sent to the
"Strictly Controlled Group" to be tortured for refusing to do hard
labor. The villains only allowed him to sleep from 2 am to 4:15 a.m. each night
and beat him any time they wished. His cries from the extremely cruel torture
were often heard in the corridor. Wang Hongtao (male), Zhang Huchen (male), and
Zhan Baogang (male) were among the inmates who beat Mr. Wang Zhaohua. Early on the morning of May 3, 2007, inmate Zhan Baogang beat Mr. Wang
Zhaohua again. Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Hu Jinyan reported the incident to a
prison guard on duty. The guard not only did not stop the inmate but told the
inmate Zhan Baogang that Hu Jinyan reported him. On May 6, with the
encouragement of the prison guards, Zhan Baogang brutally beat Mr. Hu Jinyan for
revenge in front of many prison guards and Falun Dafa practitioners. Afterward,
the prison guards berated Mr. Hu Jinyan. On May 7, Mr. Hu Jinyan was again
beaten by prison guard Wang Baohua (male) and another inmate. Mr. Wang Zhaohua was frequently beaten, which caused protest from many Falun
Dafa practitioners and demand for an immediate end to the mistreatment. Guard
Zheng Wanxin (male) (head of the Ward) said, "Didn't he refuse to
cooperate? Beat him until he cooperates." Mr. Wang Zhaohua steadfastly
adhered to his belief and refused to accept "transformation". In late April 2007, Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Ren Huaiqiang was beaten by
three inmates, which led to the recurrence of his heart disease. Prison guards took another Falun Dafa practitioner to a special torture room.
Guard Li Gongming (male) cuffed this practitioner with his arms tightly crossed
(left hand cuffed to the right corner of a bed and right hand to the left
corner), which made the practitioner suffer excruciating pain, and he could not
move at all. Because his lower back was twisted, he was unbalanced, but he could
not stand or crouch down; it was unbearably painful. Whenever the practitioner
cried out, guard Liu Lin (male) would stuff his mouth with rags and kick his
buttocks violently. The practitioner was tortured this way for over two hours. May 27, 2007 Posting date: 6/8/2007 |
