The Suffering of Ms. Pan Haifeng from Huanggang City, Hubei Province
(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Pan Haifeng regained her health through practicing
Falun Gong. However, since the CCP started persecuting Falun Gong, she has been
suffering tortures in detention for nearly nine years. Recently, she has
suffered another round of harassment related to Beijing's Olympic Games. Ms. Pan Haifeng, 36 years old, lives in the Longganhu Administrative
District, Huanggang City, Hubei Province. She used to have many severe diseases
such as, spurs on her cervical and lumbar vertebra, rheumatic arthritis,
dysmenorrhoea, beriberi, anemia, low blood pressure and heart problems. Because
her family was poor and unable to handle the medical costs, she had thought of
committing suicide several times. On April 25, 1999, Ms. Pan started to practice Falun Gong. The miraculous
effect of Falun Gong manifested and all her diseases disappeared, and she could
smile again. However, Jiang's regime started the persecution and Ms. Pan bravely stood up
to appeal for Falun Gong. She has been arrested and detained several times in a
detention center and forced labor camp. She has been on the brink of death twice
while in the detention center, and she has now lost the ability to work. At the
young age of 36, she no longer looks young. Due to the persecution, she was
unable to get married and is still single and poor. She and her mother are often
harassed by local police officers and leaders of her previous work unit.
Due to being threatened for a long time, her mother has aged very
quickly. Her sisters are all worried about her and care for her. They had paid
more than 20,000 yuan for the extortion imposed on her. They were
pained about her suffering. Ms. Pan Haifeng has suffered from brutal torture during the past eight years.
She has been beaten with wooden sticks, boxed and kicked by a group of people,
which caused her to have severe inner injuries. She has been cuffed with both
hands behind her back for 15 days, and the scars caused by the handcuffs can
still be seen. She has been cuffed with four limbs on the death bed
and injected with unknown drugs. Because of being cuffed so tight, many nerves
on her limbs were damaged, and are almost non-functional. She was subjected to
freezing temperatures below 10 0C (about -10 0F), which caused large areas of
her skin to be frostbitten, with broken capillaries. She has had her feet and
hands cuffed together, making it impossible for her to walk straight. Her mouth
was sealed with tape in order to keep her from speaking out. She was stripped
for a body search while the door was wide open and men passed by. This abused
worsened her health and her heart problems returned. She thus suffered a heart
attack. Her blood pressure was erratic and her pulse was very faint, almost
stopping at times. Currently, she still has a scar on her chest, which was
caused during a medical check of her heart. She was unable to walk normally for
almost half a year, and she was not able to hold a bowl of food with both of her
hands. On April 17, 2008, Jiang Dawei, the director of the local resident community
at the Longganhu Administrative District and Qian XX came to harass and threaten
her. They tried to use soft tactics to put her under house arrest. She was told
not to go anywhere before October 2008 and during the Olympic Games, and that
her work unit would pay her rent during this period. Ms. Pan Haifeng's safety is
again being threatened. Posting date: 5/16/2008 |
