Ms. Hu Meizhen Persecuted at Majialong Forced Labor Camp Twice, Now Subjected to Persecution at Jiangxi Women’s Forced Labor Camp

August 12, 2006 |  

(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Hu Meizhen, a Falun Dafa practitioner in Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province encountered brutal persecution by the Jiujiang City 610 Office. She was detained at the Majialong Forced Labor Camp twice, only because of her belief in Falun Dafa. She is currently being persecuted at the Jiangxi Women’s Forced Labor Camp.

Ms. Hu Meizhen is about 50 years old and a professional dressmaker. Since the persecution started on July 20, 1999, Hu Meizhen has suffered brutal persecution by the local 610 Office because she insists on her belief. Her income from dressmaking is the primary financial support for the family. Police officers from Xunyang District, Jiujiang City ceaselessly harassed and arrested her, thus rendering her unable to maintain a stable source of income for her family. The family’s standard of living fell below the poverty level. Consequently, the family has almost collapsed.

In December 2000, Hu Meizhen was carried down stairs in her home by several policemen, and taken to the detention center for torturous brainwashing. She was released in late March 2001. Not long afterwards, around May 2001, she was arrested by the local 610 Office and sent to the Majialong Forced Labor Camp for three years. Because she remained steadfast in her belief in Dafa in the labor camp and refused to wear a prisoner’s uniform, she suffered all kinds of torture, which included being locked up in a small cell, cuffed and hung up. This caused one of her hands to become disfigured.

Due to the illegal arrest of Hu Meizhen, her three children had no income and had to discontinue their school studies. The youngest one did not complete primary school. Her husband did casual work, but the income was relatively low and not stable. He had to work for long hours and had no time to take care of the children. During the several years of persecution, their youngest child suffered from mental collapse. Because of this persecution, a formerly happy family was on the edge of collapsing.

In late April 2005, Hu Meizhen went to her parents’ home to tell the truth about the persecution of Falun Dafa, and was again arrested and taken to the Majialong Forced Labor Camp. The person responsible for Ms. Hu Meizhen’s arrest was Zhong Jiafu, the manager of the Saiyang Local Police Station in Lushan District, Jiujiang City. He was formerly the commissar at the Majialong Forced Labor Camp. Meizhen’s family members begged him to set Meizhen free. But he said, "Set her free? What do I eat!" Her son’s illness worsened after this accident. Meizhen’s husband reasoned that the ill son needed care from his mother, and requested that the Xunyang District Politics and Judiciary Committee and the 610 Office release Meizhen. But his request was refused. He sighed deeply and said, "I can’t live any more!" He wanted to end his life several times, but was dissuaded from doing so by Ms. Hu Meizhen. Now his burden is even heavier.

At the Majialong Forced Labor Camp, Meizhen again encountered persecution. Her hands were cuffed behind her back and she was hung up. As a result, one of her hands was injured. She could only wash her clothes by stepping on them with her feet. Her entire body was swollen. Due to financial reasons and heavy burdens borne by the family, Meizhen’s husband did not visit her for more than six months. Prisoners who had been trained by police to supervise Meizhen constantly created difficulties for her using any means. They relentlessly pressured her to "transform."

During the seven-year long persecution, the Majialong Forced Labor Camp has closely followed the directives of the Jiang and Luo political regime in order to brutally persecute Falun Dafa practitioners. These persecutors have incurred countless blood debts. When the persecutors learned that an international investigation group would come, they tightened up the persecution, intending to stop at no means to forcibly and brutally "transform" practitioners. This included ordering drug addicts to beat practitioners who refused to renounce their belief in Dafa. The persecutors forced some practitioners to suffer immensely, rather than ending their lives. Practitioners who were detained beyond their original prison terms were sent to Nanchang.

The Majialong Forced Labor Camp transferred evidence of their crimes and sent Hu Meizhen to the Jiangxi Province Women’s Forced Labor Camp. After her husband found out, he went there and encouraged her, "You must live, don’t commit suicide, send forth righteous thoughts. You must have strong righteous thoughts. It is sinful to commit suicide. Send forth righteous thoughts. ‘Teacher has the power to do anything’ (translator’s translation)." The supervising guard heard it, rushed into the room and dragged him out and said, "Do you practice Falun Gong?" He answered, "No, I am simply visiting her." So the guard let him go. Meizhen said her term was extended again because she insists on her belief.

The following is a list of names and phone numbers of officials and agents involved in the persecution of Hu Meizhen.

Jiujiang City Politics and Judiciary Committee 610 Office chief Wang Jian: 86-
792-8211658 (Office)
Jiujiang City Majialong Forced Labor Camp
Manager Song Qi: 86-792-6950666 (Office)
Assistant Lu Weiping: 86-792-6950979, 86-13607023412 (Cell)
Former instructor of women’s Fourth Brigade, Song Wengang: 86-792-8238044 (Home),
86-13037275355 (Cell)
Deputy head of women’s Fourth Brigade, Zhou Jing: 86-792-8232943
Lu Renkui: 86-792-6950718 (Office)

Since becoming a manager around 2002, Song Qi has been the main person responsible for persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners. Before Zhong Jiafu was transferred out of the labor camp, he was the primary organizer in persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners. Song Qi participated in all criminal activities relating to the persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners from 2000 to 2004. Lu Renkui was once a brigade chief. During his tenure as the chief, he was directly responsible for persecuting and murdering practitioners. Lu Renkui has persecuted many practitioners and used extremely evil means to persecute Falun Dafa practitioner Zhou Zuofu. In order to transform Zhou Zuofu, he not only tortured Zhou Zuofu mentally, but cuffed his hands and hung him from a window many times. Lu Renkui even deprived Zhou Zuofu of sleep and cuffed his feet to a bed. All of these torture methods and several more eventually caused Zhou Zuofu’s mental collapse.

When Lu Weiping was the administration chief and manager’s assistant. Lu organized and personally participated in persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners.

Xu Lijian and Luo Siwen, both of the First Brigade, are direct involved persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners. Xu is the chief instigator and Luo is an accomplice.

Tian Bengui and Deng Chengsong, of the Second Brigade, are directly involved in persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners. In order to achieve the aim of "transforming" practitioners, they often use brutal means such as hanging up practitioners and cuffing their hands, forcing practitioners to stand for a long time, depriving them of sleep. Falun Dafa practitioner Mao Rulun, who was over 60 years old when she passed away, was cuffed and hung up for three days. This torture caused injury to the elder’s arm. The persecutors also cuffed and hung up practitioners Yang Zhongwen, Liu Zunfeng, Zhang Wenlei and Yu Song, and physically punished them, deprived them of sleep and subjected them to many other unspeakable tortures.

Chen Shili, of the Third Brigade, is a primary accomplice in murder and persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners. Chen Chili once persecuted practitioners Huang Daoguo (over 60 years old), Fei Weidong and Yang Zhenxiong and several other practitioners.

Xi Hui, Zhou Jing and Liu Junping are the primary accomplices in the murder and persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners in the Fourth Women’s Brigade. The Fourth Brigade is reported as a labor camp that persecutes mostly Falun Dafa practitioners. In order to establish the women’s brigade, Zhou Jing was transferred to the labor camp in late 2000. Zhou is very fierce and, on the basis of her "merits" in persecuting Falun Dafa, was later promoted by Xi Hui. Liu Junping is also very vicious. It is reported that he was especially vicious towards Falun Dafa practitioner Huang Jinrong, who is in his forties. After Huang was arrested and later released, he went to Liu’s home to clarify the truth. Huang was then persecuted for a second time. Liu Junping cuffed Huang for very long time, and sometimes hung up Huang, tortured him mentally, and caused Huang Jinrong to suffer tremendous physical harm and mental trauma.

The above is only a fraction of the persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners in Majialong Forced Labor Camp. The labor camp is preparing to close down the women’s Fourth Brigade this year in order to destroy all evidence of their crimes.
