  • Revisiting the CCP's Crimes in Anshan in Light of Sujiatun Concentration Camp

    Clearwisdom has reported the shocking news about the CCP-built Sujiatun Concentration Camp to detain more than 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners. The facility harvests organs from living practitioners and then cremates them to destroy the evidence of their crimes.

    This reminds me of something that happened in Anshan:


    Photograph of the Deceased Practitioner Ms. Zhang Li

    Ms. Zhang Li, 40 years old, was a practitioner in the Tiexi District of Anshan City, Liaoning Province. Ms. Zhang was illegally arrested by police and sent to the Anshan Detention Center. She suffered from vicious abuse and was near death from torture. She passed away on August 27, 2002 in the Anshan Central Hospital.

    She was forced to leave home to escape persecution for practicing Falun Gong. The Lishan District Police Department of Anshan City arrested her on March 19, 2002, when there were five practitioners in the house. As one of the "most wanted" on the blacklist, she was sentenced to life in prison. During her imprisonment, the police interrogated and tortured her brutally on many different occasions. On August 27, 2002, her abusers tortured her so cruelly that her life was hanging by a thread before she was finally sent to the hospital. Because the police denied her any medical treatment until it was too late, she subsequently died. As confirmed by eyewitnesses, Ms. Zhang Li's trachea and armpit were sliced open as she was dying. After each interrogation in the First Detention Center of Anshan City, others witnessed that she was scored with bloody knife wounds. The police wrapped her corpse with a white cloth to cover their crimes.

    There were many practitioners clarifying the truth of Falun Gong in Beijing in 2001. When they were arrested they did not tell their names or addresses to avoid trouble with their local governments. The police sent them to different detention centers according to their town of origin. Around 200 Anshan practitioners were arrested and sent to the detention centers. The police brutally tortured them with thick cords. Later they were sent to other locations. Now, no one knows their whereabouts.

    When I heard about the evil crimes committed inside Sujiatun Concentration Camp, I was reminded of those practitioners sent to other places. The same events happened in other districts of China, so I appeal to our practitioners and righteous people in other areas to pay attention to all similar cases around you.

    Harbin Women's Prison Head Liu Zhiqiang Incites Inmates to Persecute Falun Gong Practitioners

    Harbin Women's Prison Head Liu Zhiqiang is inciting inmates to rampantly persecute Falun Gong practitioners. The situation is very urgent, and help is needed to rescue the practitioners.

    The Falun Gong practitioners in the 8th Group of Harbin Women's Prison appealed for their unconditional release by hunger striking and refusing to wear inmates' uniforms. On January 17, 2006, prison head Liu Zhiqiang brought nine thugs from Group 9 who specialized in "transforming" practitioners. Zhang Chunhua, head of Group 8, led them to brutally persecute Falun Gong practitioners. The more inmates torture practitioners, the earlier they can be released. The nine thugs brought by Liu Zhiqiang had all achieved a 6, the highest score for early release. They rampantly persecuted Falun Gong practitioners, and below are some examples:

    On January 17, 2006, the inmates taped practitioners Jia Shuying and Li Xiuhua's mouths shut and sent them to isolation cells, where they were detained until January 25, 2006. They also cuffed 6 practitioners' hands behind their back to the bed legs in different rooms. They forcibly removed practitioners' clothes and only left them in their underwear. The thugs forced them to wear inmate uniforms, chained them to the floor, and made them sit on the freezing floor with the windows open. These practitioners were tortured like this for two days until they agreed to wear the uniform.

    On January 19, because practitioner Wang Aihua did the Falun Gong exercises, the inmates handcuffed her into a position where she had to squat down. Yu Ying, Ma Hongying, and Zhang Chunyan brutally beat Wang Aihua until she had severe chest pains. On January 21, Wang Aihua again wanted to do the exercises and was beaten by Chen Zenglian. Later, Wang Aihua went on hunger strike again. These 9 inmates tortured her during the day and directed other inmates to torture her at night as well. Right now, the 5th floor (where Group 8 is located) has a very bad situation. Although Zhang Yanfang (who started to practice in the prison) has started to do slave labor, she was still moved to the east side of the 4th floor, Team 20, for persecution.

    Wang Jianping is a practitioner detained on the east side of the 4th floor. On January 20, Group 8 head Zhang Chunhua handcuffed her. After Zhang Chunhua left, inmate Zhang Hongying (who behaves very badly) slapped Wang Jianping 30-40 times. She also kicked Wang, and spat on her face. Another inmate lay in bed watching the beating. After Zhang Hongying beat Wang, that person gave Zhang an apple. After Zhang beat Wang again, that person gave Zhang a banana. Zhang then went to the office to give a massage to officer Zheng. After coming back, she tightened Ms. Wang's handcuffs. Because her blood flow was blocked, Wang Jianping's arms were numb and her hand turned blue. They did not release her handcuffs until she agreed to wear the inmate uniform.

    Group 8 head Zhang Chunhua incited inmates to commit crimes. After handcuffing practitioner Wang Jianping, she led inmates Zhang Hongying and Zhao Dongmei to handcuff Zhou Chunzhi. Zhao Dongmei grabbed Zhou's hair, and Zhang Hongying slapped Ms. Zhou hard in the face. They then handcuffed Ms. Zhou behind the back onto the bed's leg. Because of the severe beating, Ms. Zhou's face turned red and she found it difficult to breathe. The inmates did not release her until she agreed to wear the inmate uniform. When Ms. Zhou asked Zhang Hongying why she was beating her, Zhang Hongying said she would beat even harder those from other groups. Falun Gong practitioners Yang Xiaolin, Wang Yanping and Lv Yinghua (who started to practice in the prison) were also handcuffed onto the heating pipes so that they could not squat or sit. They were not released until they agreed to follow orders to do slave labor.

    On January 25, inmate Zhang Hongying used a water bottle to beat Ms. Wang's head, and continually swore at her, claiming that she was insane. Zhang also claimed that "Officer Zheng has authorized me to search beds eight times a day and do body searches three times a day. I was also authorized to handcuff practitioners and confiscate their Falun Gong articles." Practitioner Zhou Chunzhi reported this to an officer. Zhang then slapped her in the face. Zhang also denied that she beat anyone and said Falun Gong practitioners were trying to frame her, claiming "there are no witnesses or traces." After Falun Gong practitioner Wang Hongzhou went to an officer to report this, Zhang Hongyi then threatened the Falun Gong practitioners. Policeman Sun Yu also covered for her.

    After the nine thugs went to Group 8, they persecuted practitioners viciously. They also monitored the previous persecutors in Group 8 and reported them to the officers. As a result, these people treat practitioners even more badly. Together with Zhang Chunhua, Zheng Jie and other officers, they handcuffed practitioners to the ground tightly. They also covered the doors with newspaper, taped practitioners' mouths shut, beat and kicked practitioners. They also slapped practitioners in the head, and beat their private parts. They did not allow practitioners to sleep or even close their eyes. They forced practitioners to wear inmate uniforms and handcuffed their hands behind their back. When calling names during a gathering, they pulled practitioners' handcuffs. When practitioners did not yield, they pulled the handcuffs again to make them tighter. The pain was tremendous. During the daytime, they covered practitioners' mouths and beat them badly, without obvious injuries showing to the outside. They also searched for practitioners' articles. Even if practitioners agreed to follow orders, they are still closely watched, and severely tortured.

    Above is the situation in Group 8, but things are even worse in Group 9.

    The nine inmate thugs that prison head Liu Zhiqiang brought from Group 9 are Zhang Fang, Chen Zenglian, Zhang Chunyan, Yuan Wei, Yu Ying, Ma Hongying, Wang Minhua, Zhang Jinhua, and another one whose name is unknown.

    Zhang Chunyan is a criminal who had stolen people's property. She lived in Changchun City and was sentenced to 9 years in prison. She is 54 years old, and her behavior is really bad. Since entering the prison in 2001, she has been monitoring practitioners. Her detention term was reduced several times as a result of her persecuting Falun Gong practitioners.

    Eyelids Pierced with Needles and Suffocated with Smoke: Tortures Practitioner Wang Bingwen Endures at Qingdao Forced Labor Camp


    Falun Gong practitioner Wang Bingwen

    While he was illegally detained at the Qingdao Forced Labor Camp over last two years, Falun Gong practitioner Wang Bingwen has suffered devastating and shocking inhumane treatment. In order to "transform" Wang Bingwen, the police deprived him of sleep for 14 consecutive days, suffocated him with smoke, burned him, stabbed him with needles, and beat him. After being beaten to the point that he lost consciousness, they continued beating him to awaken him. They tied him onto a stool so that he could not move at all. As a result, Wang Bingwen's muscles became seriously atrophied.

    Mr. Wang Bingwen, 33, was ex-Chief of the Fire Section, Laoshan Pubic Security Branch of Qingdao City, Shandong Province. After being arrested by the Jinkou Road Police Station in the South District, Qingdao City, he was forced to undergo "reeducation through labor" for three years on August 6, 2003. He is still being held at the Qingdao Forced Labor Camp in Shandong Province.

    In the labor camp, Wang Bingwen did not cooperate with the so-called "transformation." The police continuously use all kinds of ways to torture him. To protest against the persecution, Wang Bingwen went on a hunger strike for as long as one and a half years. The police viciously shouted that as long as he still has a breath, they would never release him.

    Not only was Wang Bingwen brutally beaten by inmate Tan Junwei (who was later released from the forced labor camp) and other inmates in 2003, he was also repeatedly and violently beaten and abused by assistant guards Feng Zengwei, Shang Jingguo and others. To reduce his prison term, Shang Jingguo, under the instigation of the police, deprived Wang Bingwen of sleep by hitting Wang's head, suffocating him with smoke, using a lighter to burn him, and stabbing his eyelids with a needle.

    In the beginning of 2004, the persecutors had deprived Wang Bingwen of sleep for 14 consecutive days. They continuously played a so-called "transforming VCD" and forced him to watch it. If he blinked, the guards would beat him immediately. In the coldest part of winter, they had Wang Bingwen sit on the bed and poured cold water onto his head while he was on a hunger strike. The continuous deprivation of sleep frequently caused Wang Bingwen to be in a state of disorientation. One day in 2004, Shang Jingguo beat Wang Bingwen so severely that Wang passed out, but did not stop the beating until Wang came to. Shang Jingguo said that an official named Xu Changcun promised that if he "defeated" Wang Bingwen, his prison term would be reduced significantly, and Xu could be promoted to Deputy Director of the Camp.

    To protest the illegal forced labor and the persecution, Wang Bingwen went on a long-term hunger strike, which caused him to become very weak. However, to achieve the goal of "transformation," the persecutors used the so-called long-term strict management. Wang Bingwen was held alone in a small cell with all of the windows closed. He had to relieve himself in that room, and no one was allowed to contact him. He was bound to a stool day and night in the same position, unable to move at all. This caused his muscles to become severely atrophied.

    Medical personnel in the forced labor camp also participated in the persecution of Wang Bingwen. Dr. Xie once persecuted Wang Bingwen by means of acupuncture. Xie put needles into his tips of all his fingers and the soles of his feet. In 2003, Xie gave Wang Bingwen acupuncture torture for about half a month with a period of half an hour each time. During the acupuncture torture, Xie turned and pulled needles outward and push them inward quickly and forcefully. Sometimes, his wrists were hurt as if they were broken when Xie put the needle into his wrists. In April 2004, Xie again put needles directly into each of Wang Bingwen's finger tips directly beneath his fingernails, which caused severe pain and caused his hands to bleed. Several people restrained Wang Bingwen. Police Officer Wang Yongjien tightly clutched Wang Bingwen's cheeks to prevent him from calling out. Over four months later the black stains under Wang Bingwen fingernails still had not recovered.

    Yang, Director of the Medical Office, used forced feeding to torture Wang Bingwen as well. The tube inserted into his nose for feeding was never changed in seven weeks. The end of the tube, about a finger long in the stomach, had been corroded by the stomach acid. They still pushed the tube deeper into his stomach, which caused Wang Bingwen to see stars and to cough up blood.

    The above information about what Wang Bingwen has suffered from the persecution was sent out through a very difficult channel. However, it is just the tip of the iceberg.


    Wang Bingwen's daughter

    Wang Bingwen's wife was three months pregnant when he was arrested. They got to see each other only once in December of 2003. Since she was mentally and physically exhausted, she delivered a premature baby girl in January 2004. After the exposure of Wang Bingwen's situation of being persecuted in 2004 and under pressure from various sources, the labor camp authorities could not help but allow Wang's father to visit him once in July 2004. Thereafter, they have not allowed his family to see him. To request a meeting with her son, Wang Bingwen's mother waited outside the labor camp's doors for three consecutive days and nights. Wang Bingwen's wife once brought their one-year-old baby girl together with her family and went to the labor camp. However, the labor camp authorities not only did not allow them to see him, but they also summoned a police vehicle. Then, officials forcibly put them into the vehicle and said that they would send them to the police station. But under the family's strong demands, they allowed them to go home.

    This year, Wang Bingwen's daughter is nearly two years old, but she has never seen her father. From July 2004 until now, 17 months has passed. Wang Bingwen is presently detained in the Training Team and he is still not permitted to see his family. The labor camp authorities declared that the meeting is prohibited since the 610 Office made the rule. But when Wang Bingwen's family went to the 610 Office, Director Wang said that they do not take care of this matter and the labor camp is responsible for it.



    Falun Gong Practitioners from Beijing's Fangshan District Arrested

    Recently, many Falun Gong practitioners from Fangshan District, Beijing were arrested and every practitioner whose name was on the "black list" was harassed. Practitioner Zhang Jiguo was arrested on February 25, 2006, and is being detained at Chengguan Police Station.

    At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon on February 25, Qiu Lei, a Jiaolefu Village official from Chengguan Town in Fangshan District, along with neighborhood office personnel, came to practitioner Zhang Jiguo's home. Because Zhang was not at home, they left. That night at 8 o'clock, five policemen from Fangshan Police Station intruded into Zhang Jiguo's home, including the chief of police Liu Shuang and officer Chang Qi, who has been continuously persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. They confiscated more than ten Falun Gong books. Zhang Jiguo refused to sign any papers. Chang Qi handcuffed Zhang Jiguo, dragged her into a police vehicle and drove away.

    The police also arrested a retired teacher from Fangshan Third Middle School and a practitioner from Beidashi. Song Zhenlan from Hongshi village was arrested on February 22. Contacts with two other practitioners have been lost and their situations are unclear.

    This time, the village official led the police to practitioners' homes, in most cases asking them whether they still practiced Falun Gong and whether other people visited them. The police searched rooms and threatened practitioners not to have contact with other practitioners. In some cases the managers of the practitioners' workplaces came to their homes and tried to force them to write a guarantee statement, promising to give up their Falun Gong practice.



    Falun Gong Practitioner Liu Xiufeng from Laishui County, Hebei Province Demands Lawsuit Against 610 Office Head After Seven Years of Persecution

    [Note: The following is a shortened version of a longer and more detailed article that appeared on the Minghui.org website (Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net).]

    In late February 2006, practitioner Liu Xiufeng from Laishui County, Hebei Province requested that the Laishui County Procuratorate file a lawsuit against Wang Fucai, head of the 610 Office, press criminal charges against him and demand civil compensation. The Laishui County Procuratorate has accepted her request.

    Practitioner Liu Xiufeng worked as deputy head of the Yongyang Town Judicial Bureau and head of Legal Services Agency in Laishui County, Hebei Province. She started practicing Falun Gong in 1995. Local police and local 610 Office agents began persecuting her after July 20, 1999 because she persisted in her belief. She was sent to brainwashing sessions and illegally detained many times.

    In May 2001, Communist regime agents from the Laishui County 610 Office illegally sentenced Liu Xiufeng to one year of forced labor. The Baoding Forced Labor Camp refused to admit her. Subsequently, agents from the Laishui County 610 Office illegally incarcerated her at the Laishui County Detention Center for one year.

    On the evening of November 20, 2004, Wang Fucai ordered the police to detain Liu Xiufeng. They sent her to the Baoding Forced Labor Camp on January 23, 2005, but the labor camp again refused to accept her. Wang Fucai ordered the police to continue detaining Ms. Liu Xiufeng. Although Liu Xiufeng was on the brink of death many times, Wang Fucai denied her release.

    On April 30, 2005, Wang Fucai sent Liu Xiufeng and two other practitioners to the Baoding City 610 Office to be "reformed." The 610 Office agents physically and verbally abused Liu Xiufeng. Because Liu Xiufeng was in critical condition several times, the Baoding City 610 Office notified Wang Fucai. This persecutor took her and the two other practitioners back to Laishui County. Wang Fucai ordered Liu Xiufeng to be held at the detention center.

    On the morning of October 20, 2005, Liu Xiufeng lost consciousness in the detention center courtyard, and Wang Fucai eventually released her.


    Violence and Brainwashing in Shuanghe Labor Camp in Qiqihar City

    [Note: The following is a shortened version of a longer and more detailed article that appeared on the Minghui.org website (Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net).]

    In an attempt to cover up their persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, authorities from  Shuanghe Labor Camp in Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province changed the name of the labor camp to the Jian District Mangxin School, and also Heilongjiang Province Reform Base.

    They torture determined practitioners to make them give up their belief. They start by having collaborators attack the determined practitioners and instill them with mind-twisting theories against Falun Gong. Then they detain the practitioners in isolation and have criminals monitor them. They lock the practitioners to metal chairs, shock them with electric batons, force-feed them and forbid them to communicate with their families via letters or visits. Practitioner Wu Xiuru from Beian was tortured by guards Wang Yan and Zhang Zhijie, and as a result, she was paralyzed for 18 months. She was on the brink of death in August 2003 when guard Zhang Zhijie finally sent her home.

    They started forceful "reform" program in 2004 and used even more brutal methods.

    Practitioner Wang Guofang from Daqing City was beaten to death because she refused to "reform". Practitioner Li Shunying from Qiqihar City was forced to sit in a metal chair for seven days and seven nights. Her whole body swelled up and she could not walk. Practitioner Yang Pingan from Feng Township is overweight, so the guards tortured him by forcing him to squat against the wall for a very long time until he lost consciousness.
