Persecution in the 7th Group of the Xishanping Forced-labor Camp
(Clearwisdom.net) Officials in the 7th Group of the
Xishanping Forced Labor Camp in Chongqing City torture and brainwash Falun Gong practitioners.
Tian Xin (head of the 7th group), Meng Shuping (head of the 1st
Squadron), Hao Xingxiang (supervisor), Wang Jin (head of the 2nd Squadron), Hu
Yuejin (deputy squadron head) violently "transform" and persecute
Falun Gong practitioners to this day. Previously, the 1st Squadron was only in charge of training and
consolidation for newcomers in this forced-labor camp, and it did not
participate in violently persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. Now, the camp has
ordered the 1st Squadron to forcefully "transform" Falun Gong
practitioners. Meng Shuping, the squadron leader, and Tian Xin, the group lead,
have collaborated in persecuting practitioners. Falun Gong practitioners in the
1st Squadron were ordered to each carry sandbags that weighs about 25
kilograms. They were forced to carry the sandbags day and night and were not
given any relief until they renounced their belief in Falun Gong. The following are some of the recent persecution cases in the 7th
group of Xishanping Forced-labor Camp: Zhou Qingyu, 67, was a Falun Gong practitioner from Yudong, Chongqing City.
Zhou Qingyu was sent to the Xishanping Forced-labor Camp in the beginning of
2007. Soon after, Meng Shuping and Hao Xingxiang instigated drug addicts to beat
him. Zhou's neck became contorted from the beatings. After six months, on
December, 2007, Zhou Qingyu died at the hands of camp warden Lei Kejin. Wang Zhihai is a Falun Gong practitioner from Yuzhong District, Chongqing
City. On March 18, 2008, warden Lei Kejin from the 2nd Squadron
instigated drug addicts Dai Huafu, Wang Peng, Chen Lang, Liu Yingzhong, and He
Liangyun to pummel Wang Zhihai. Mr. Wang sustained multiple concussions, and now
suffers vertigo, nausea, and vomiting, and cannot handle daily activities. Tang Yi, is a Falun Gong practitioner and a civil engineer in the Fifth
Division, 11th Bureau, in China Railway. On May 2, 2008, Tang Yi was
forcibly arrested by a train guard on a train. That was the third time that he
was illegally arrested by the authorities. After detaining Tang for
28 days, the Hangzhou City Railway Police prepared to release him, but Police
from Chongqing City took Mr. Tang back to Chongqing City and sentenced him to
two years in the Xishanping Forced-labor Camp. Tang Yi has been on a hunger
strike since May 4, 2008, when he was detained in Hangzhou City. He has been on
a hunger strike for over three months, and he is near death. Wardens in the 2nd
Squadron still force Tang to stand in line, attend brainwashing sessions, and
suffer other forms of persecution. Every time Tang says "Falun Dafa is
Good," the wardens order criminal inmates to drag Tang into a bathroom and
torture him. No one knows exactly what types of torture Tang suffers there. On June 26, six policemen, including Su Yijian from Chongqing City Public
Security Bureau and others from Jiulongpo District Police Station and
Huangjiaoping Police Station, visited the 2nd Squadron. They tried to
make Zhang Yinming give up Falun Gong by portraying his steadfastness in his
belief as an obstacle for his family. They reminded Zhang that his continued
belief in Falun Gong would hinder his son's participation in the college
entrance exam, increase the burden on his family, and make it harder for his
wife to pay their home mortgage. The police tried to coerce Zhang to cooperate
by renouncing Falun Gong. If Zhang would do so, they promised to immediately
release him and give him his job back. If he didn't cooperated, they threatened
to arrest Zhang's wife and put her in a forced-labor camp. Despite the pressure,
Zhang Yinming remained firm in his faith in Falun Gong and refused to compromise
with the persecutors.
