Mr. Zhang Zhong, 35, Died in the Harbin City Police Hospital in Heilongjiang Province (Photos)
By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Heilongjiang Province
(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Zhang Zhong, 35, lived in Hongguang Village, Taiping Town, Bayan County, Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province. He was an employee of the Lamadian Chemicals Company, Daqing City. He died on October 16, 2006, in the Harbin City Police Hospital. Mr. Zhang Zhong's wife is also an Falun Dafa practitioner, and is currently detained in the Heilongjiang Province Women's Labor Camp (formerly the Harbin City Drug Rehabilitation Center). Mr. Zhang Zhong After the tapping into cable TV in Changchun City was successfully done in 2002 by practitioners in Changchun, Mr. Zhang Zhong was arrested in April 2002 and sentenced to ten years in prison. He was detained in the Daqing City Prison until July 2002, where he went through inhuman tortures. His health was ravaged, as he experienced problems with all of his major internalorgans, experienced muscular atrophy all over the body, partial paralysis, difficulty breathing, and lapsing into unconsciousness for long periods of time. His blood pressure was 40-50 mm, and he was as thin as a skeleton. The prison released him for medical treatment when they saw that he was dying. An emaciated and dying Mr. Zhang Zhong after being tortured in the Daqing City Prison (July 2004) Helped by fellow practitioners, Mr. Zhang Zhong studied the Fa, and soon he could do the exercises. His dying body recovered in only one month. In order to avoid being arrested again, he was forced to leave home to live out of town. On August 10, 2006, Mr. Zhang Zhong went to visit friends in the Honglang Garden Neighborhood in Harbin City, and was arrested by policemen from the Haxi Station in Nangang District and the Dongli District Department. He was detained in the Nangang District Police Department, where he was cruelly tortured. After more than ten days, Mr. Zhang Zhong was transferred to the Harbin City Police Hospital. His friends went to visit him at the end of September, but they were not allowed to see him. Guards said that Mr. Zhang was in fine health and asked his friends for his family's phone numbers. Mr. Zhang Zhong was closely watched by a prisoner in the hospital, but if he was not sick, why did they keep him in the hospital? At around 9 a.m. on October 16, 2006, the hospital asked Daqing City Prison to notify Mr. Zhang Zhong's parents that he died. His parents arrived at the hospital at 3 p.m. on the same day, but the hospital did not issue a death certificate or notice and refused to let the family see his body. Ten days after his death, his family was still denied the right to see his body. A number of questions have to be raised about this case. We believe that Mr. Zhang Zhong was killed by the Nangang District Police Department and the Harbin City Police Hospital. Mr. Zhang Zhong was a very energetic young man. He cultivated Falun Dafa, was very kind, and always thought of others first. His mother is living on intravenous injection due to the heavy blow of this tragic news.

China sentenced 37 people to prison on charges of promoting the outlawed Falun Gong spiritual movement through gatherings and handbills, the government's Xinhua News Agency has reported.
China sentenced 37 people to prison on charges of promoting the outlawed Falun Gong spiritual movement through gatherings and handbills, the government's Xinhua News Agency has reported.
The sentences of up to 10 years were given by five courts in and around Beijing, Xinhua said in a brief report. It was unclear why the rulings came on the same day.
One suspect, Xue Hairong, received a seven-year sentence from Beijing's number one Intermediate Court on charges of downloading articles about Falun Gong from the Internet to reproduce and distribute.
The court gave shorter sentences to four others, Xinhua said.
The rest were sentenced by four courts in the city's suburbs for allegedly organizing illegal gatherings and printing and distributing Falun Gong materials. Court officials who could be reached refused comment.
Chinese authorities have reacted angrily to international criticism of their sometimes brutal 19-month crackdown on the sect, saying other countries have also suppressed "evil cults." Beijing accuses Falun Gong of causing the death of 1,660 people by opposing modern medicine.
Falun Gong drew millions of followers in the 1990s with a mix of calisthenics, meditation and an eclectic mix of Buddhism, Taoism and the teachings of founder Li Hongzhi, a former government clerk now in the United States.
The group was outlawed after more than 10,000 members staged a surprise protest around the leadership compound in Beijing in April 1999 to win official recognition. The show of organizational prowess apparently convinced Beijing the sect had become a threat to Communist Party rule.
Human rights monitors say at least 112 people have died in the crackdown. Falun Gong puts the figure at 155, and on Friday claimed four more deaths.
The group's Web site said electricity plant employee Ren Pengwu, 33, was beaten to death by police in north-eastern Heilongjiang province.
It also alleged Shang Shuichi, aged about 50, died from police abuse in late February in Henan Province, Liu Zhifeng died 13 days after arrest in Sichuan province and Xu Guangdao died last month after beatings by Beijing police.
The claims could not be independently verified. A Heilongjiang policeman who did not give his name confirmed that Ren died in custody February 21, but said the cause was a heart attack.
Shang Shuichi died at home a "couple of months" after his release from a labor camp in eastern Tianjin city, said a Henan policeman surnamed Li. The cause of his death is still under investigation.
A man at Sichuan's Public Security Bureau said he had no knowledge of the Liu case. Beijing police were unavailable for comment.
The Brutal Torture and Death of Mr. Lei Ming, Who Broadcast Truth Clarification Videos in Changchun City in 2002 (Photos)By a practitioner in Jilin Province
(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Lei Ming, 30 years old, lived in Baishan City, Jilin Province. He worked with other practitioners, and successfully broadcast the truth clarification videos about Falun Gong on a cable TV network in Changchun City on March 15, 2002. The videos exposed the lies fabricated by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Jiang Zemin's regime. This helped many people awaken from the bombardment of the CCP's lies about Falun Gong. Mr. Lei was illegally arrested after Jiang's regime issued the order "kill without pardon." After he was savagely tortured in Tiebei Detention Center, he was sentenced to 17 years in prison in Changchun City Intermediate Court. He was sent to Jilin Prison, where he was subjected to the "Stretching Bed" torture and other cruelties, in addition to around-the-clock brainwashing, threats, and intimidation. These gross abuses led to disability in both legs and muscle atrophy. He could not walk, could not take care of himself, and also had severe, active tuberculosis. Jilin Prison officials sent Lei Ming back to his family in November 2004 when he was on the brink of death. He weighed only about 77 pounds, and he was extremely weak. The local police and prison officials constantly harassed him at his home after his release. He went into exile to avoid the harassment and died on August 6, 2006. Mr. Lei Ming passed away on August 6, 2006 Torture at Division 1 at the Changchun City Police Department Police and other officials first arrested Mr. Lei for broadcasting the truth clarification video on March 15, 2002. They took him to Qingming Street Police Station in Changchun City. He was later sent to Changchun City Police Department, where the police brutally shocked him with electric batons. They eventually transferred him to the No. 1 Division of the Changchun City Police Department where officers Liu Huibin, Jiang Tao, Gao Hang, Jiang Bo, and section head Gao persecuted him. The police placed Mr. Lei on a Tiger Bench, tied his legs and tightened the rope, inserted a metal bar through the holes in the two armrests, and locked the bar in place. They handcuffed him behind his back over the chair back with his armpits pressed against the chair back. They then put a leather belt through the handcuffs and through the lower column of the chair legs and upwards. Two officers violently yanked the belt downward while another officer fiercely kicked the handcuffs to increase the pain. More officers besieged Mr. Lei and slapped his face. Two officers, each carrying an electric baton, removed his clothes. They proceeded to shock his neck, mouth, thighs, chest, genitals, and anus, making Lei Ming scream in pain. The police did not stop until the charge in the electric batons had run out. Photos Reenactment photos of the tortures experienced by Mr. Lei While they recharged the electric batons, another two officers wrapped Lei Ming's head in a plastic bag. They tightened the bag opening around his neck, so no air could enter. Mr. Lei almost suffocated. They loosened the bag and tightened it again after he had taken just a few breaths. They repeated this until the batteries in the electric batons were fully charged. Another two officers joined in and began shocking Mr. Lei. They also took a screwdriver, heated it on the stove, and burned his neck with it until pieces of charred flesh and skin peeled off. Three photos Reenactment photos of tortures experienced by Mr. Lei Lei Ming gritted his teeth to bear the pain. The police shocked the fresh burn wounds on his neck with electric batons and then poured water down his neck. The pain was unimaginably excruciating. The police covered his head with a big metal bucket and banged the bucket as hard as they could with a huge metal bar, producing a deafening noise. The police also inserted a wooden stick into his anus before shocking his anus with an electric baton to cause even more pain. Within four or five hours, the bones in Mr. Lei's arms and wrists were pulled out of joint. His clothes were soaked with sweat. One officer took Mr. Lei's hands, which were cuffed behind his back, and raised them as far as he could, forcing Mr. Lei's chest to press against his thighs and making the metal bar grind against his stomach. They kept him in this torturous position for about five minutes. His right arm was dislocated at the shoulder joint from being forcefully jerked upwards, and his right forearm turned black and was disabled, swinging listlessly in the air. Both of his hands were swollen, and his fingers were two to three times their original size. Reenactment photos of tortures used on Lei Ming The police took turns torturing Mr. Lei for four days around the clock. They eventually took him to Tiebei Detention Center where, on arrival, he was told to take off his clothes for a physical inspection. The guards at the detention center saw that he was severely wounded and refused to accept him. However, officers from the city police department talked them into accepting him. After Lei Ming had entered the cell, he was first told to take a shower and get a haircut. When he took off his clothes and his injuries were revealed, all the prisoners were shocked. He had black electric shock wounds and burn wounds on his neck and the rest of his body, along with scars on his wrists, arms, and ankles. The injuries were horrific. The head prisoner said, "Before I saw this, I did not believe that Falun Gong was severely persecuted! Now I totally believe it, and I also believe that the CCP will collapse, for such a ruthless regime cannot last." Persecution at Jilin Prison Mr.. Lei was held at Tiebei Detention Center in Changchun City for more than six months, and, as stated above, Changchun City Intermediate Court sentenced him to 17 years in prison. He was sent to Jilin Prison on October 25, 2002, and held in Group 1 of Prison Ward 4, now called Ward 7. Several inmates brutally beat him on the first day. They tried to force him to write a guarantee statement, flicked his eyeballs, and crushed his testicles. He protested the cruel treatment. Group head Song Yufeng and guard Liu Tiejun sent him to the Strictly Controlled Team for more intense persecution. The officials used a special bed to stretch Lei Ming, which immobilized him for seven days, inflicting great physical pain. After that, they forced him to sit on a small bench from 4:50 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. daily. They gave him only a small bun and a bowl of vegetable broth for each meal. Lei Ming's health deteriorated after five months of torture in the Strictly Controlled Team, and his weight dropped from 143 to 72 pounds. He could hardly walk and was sent back to the regular section of the prison. Mr. Lei's weight dropped from 143 to 72 pounds The officials saw Mr. Lei reading Teacher's articles on February 18, 2004. Guards Song Yufeng, Liu Tiejun, and Yu Zhongze sent him once again to the Strictly Controlled Team and held him there for four-and-a-half months. During this period, officers Li and Wang from the Education Section probed and pressured Mr. Lei every day for the source of Teacher's article, which caused him to vomit blood for a long time. He was severely emaciated. Mr. Lei Ming was carried back to the regular prison cell on July 2, 2004. He was skeleton-like and could not walk or take care of himself. He developed symptoms heart disease, acute, active tuberculosis, and several other illnesses. The authorities sent him to the Jilin Prison Hospital on November 8, 2004, and transferred him two days later to the Changchun Labor "Re-education" Hospital where he stayed for four days. After that, Mr. Lei was transferred to the Jilin Railroad Hospital where he remained for 15 days. The prison authorities refused to pay the medical fees because they thought he was not going to live very long. They didn't want to take responsibility for his death and released him on medical parole in 2004. He was already on the brink of death. Mr. Lei Ming passed away in exile as a result of the ruthless persecution Lei Ming was carried home from prison. Although only 30 years old, his legs were disabled and the muscles atrophied, the result of barbaric torture, and he could not walk. He also had severe tuberculosis and could not take care of himself. The local police and prison authorities frequently harassed Mr. Lei at his home to further persecute him. He had no other choice but to go into exile. He weighed only 72 pounds when he left prison and was bedridden. He coughed constantly and had difficulty breathing. He could not sleep at night and had to sleep partially sitting up. If he lay flat, he would choke on phlegm. He could not eat much at all, and he was skeleton-like. He finally passed away at 7:00 a.m. on August 6, 2006. Falun Gong practitioners walk through streets and villages to distribute flyers and post banners. They endure pain and suffering with fortitude. They risked their lives to broadcast videos to clarify the truth about Falun Gong and to reveal the beauty of Dafa. At the same time they are exposing the bloody persecution that is "top secret" and heavily guarded by the CCP. They awaken people's conscience and kindness within their hearts. As Fa rectification rapidly pushes forward, the wicked Chinese Communist Party will completely disintegrate in the near future, and the history books will record the magnificent acts of Dafa practitioners rescuing sentient beings.

By Minghui reporter He Yu
(Clearwisdom.net) (Continued) "The target of a "100% transformation rate" forces practitioners to make a choice between giving up their beliefs and sustaining endless, cruel physical and mental persecution. For the firm faith-holder, giving up faith means the death of spirit, while enduring endless, cruel persecution may eventually mean death of the body. From any perspective, Jiang's regime is intentionally attempting to destroy all Falun Gong practitioners." --- Author 3. Hard Methods of Mental Persecution In order to deceive the public, the CCP spent a large sum of money to build garden-like prisons and labor camps especially designed to be appear innocuous, and even pleasant, to outside visitors, while it boasts the "reform" of Falun Gong practitioners resembles "spring breezes and rain". In fact, the CCP uses violence, torture and murder to pursue its desired "reform rate." "Stewing the eagle" The guards at the Xin'an Labor Camp in Beijing told Falun Gong practitioners, "We'll treat you like spies until you suffer a nervous breakdown and reform." In order to force Falun Gong practitioner Li Deshan, an outstanding teacher from Dezhou City, Shandong Province to reform, guards at the Wangcun Labor Camp in Shandong Province cuffed his hands and feet to two neighboring beds and pulled the beds apart, which nearly tore his body apart. Another torture Li Deshan suffered is the so-called "Half-flying." His arms were stretched out with his hands chained to a metal bed frame. He was hung up like this with only his toes barely touching the floor for half a month. Mr. Li was also constantly shocked with electric batons. He was jailed in a solitary confinement, monitored by criminals, allowed only one to two hours of sleep every day for half a year, and criminals slapped his face if he closed his eyes. When his mind was not clear due to sleep deprivation, they ordered Li Deshan to read material that had been written to defame Falun Gong and recorded his words; then they finally let him go to sleep. When he woke up with a clear mind, they played his recording in public. Li Deshan denied making the statement, so the policemen deprived him of sleep and forced him to read the materials again when his mind was not clear, and recorded it and played it again. After repeatedly going through mind-numbing torment, he firmly upheld his belief until he died. Practitioner Luo Qingshu, in her 80s, was handcuffed and hung up for a long time at the Gongjiawan Legal Training School in Lanzhou City. She was coerced to write "guarantee statements." Her legs swelled and appeared translucent; she could not even remove her sweatpants and could not bend her legs. Deep and long cracks appeared on her thighs and calves; her hands looked like balls from the swelling and she could not bend her fingers. Once, she was hung up for 12 days nonstop. She was not allowed to sleep. They let her down only when she was on the brink of death. Guard Qi slapped her face until blood came from her nose and mouth, and her face became swollen and looked deformed. Qi screamed, "If you don't listen to the Communist Party and don't reform, I'll hang you up hundreds of times, skin you and pull out your tendons." In November 2003, practitioner Li Mingtao from Handan City was detained in a small dark room at the Beijiao Prison in Shijiazhuang City because he held onto his belief. He was tortured with "taming the eagle" and savage beatings. Guards from the Education Section "advised" him, "Don't be stubborn! How can you practice [Falun Gong] when you are in a prison? If you don't write a guarantee statement, don't you know this is a coercion reform agency?" Li Mingtao insisted, "We are not doing anything wrong by practicing Dafa and by being good people." Guard Zhao Jun hammered metal nails underneath Li Mingtao's fingernails. Six months later, Li Mingtao's fingers were still ulcerated and seeping pus. The Beijing Judicial, Law and Administration Net reported how Li Jirong, head of Division 4 of the Beijing Women's Labor Camp reformed Falun Gong practitioner Du, "After 16 day-and-night continuous work, Du wrote a 'break away statement'." At the Dongshan District Legal Education School in Guangzhou City, each day loudspeakers blast slandering propaganda at illegally detained Falun Gong practitioners at a deafening volume and forbid the practitioners to sleep. Torture A large amount of evidence shows horrific tortures are used at labor camps, detention centers, prisons, mental hospitals, drug rehabilitation centers and brainwashing classes, without exception. More than 100 torture methods from the past, present, from inside and outside of China are used to brutalize Falun Gong practitioners who want to be good people. Shocking with multiple high-voltage electric batons at the same time: the body parts shocked include mouth, head, face, chest, breasts, other private parts, and others; various kinds of handcuffs and shackles and hanging-up; various sticks, clubs and whips including rubber clubs, spiked stick, leather whip, copper wire whip, steel bar, etc; hammering bamboo sticks and metal nails into the practitioners' fingers, so deep they reach the practitioners' bones; pinching the practitioners' flesh with pliers; force-feeding pepper water, concentrated salt water and feces through a large-diameter plastic tube; pouring cold water all over the practitioners in the winter, strip the practitioners of their clothes and throwing them outside; force the practitioners to stand under the sun in the heat of summer, burn them with hot iron rods; forbidding restroom use; dungeon, water dungeon, Tiger Bench, Death Bed, sitting on small stools and in metal chairs, solitary confinement cell; rape, gang rape and other sexual abuse of female Falun Gong practitioners. Reenactment of hang-up and electric shock Reenactment of "Quartering" Authorities oat the Sanshui Labor Camp in Guangdong Province used "five horses splitting the body" in forcing Falun Gong practitioners to give up their belief. It works like this: handcuff and shackle the practitioner and pull them in four different directions. On January 2, 2003, guard Zhang Wujun, together with several inmates under his order, handcuffed practitioner Huang Zhufeng's four limbs and stretched them hard in four directions simultaneously, which made Huang Zhufeng to dislocate his shoulders and his hands were covered in blood. Twenty-eight days later the muscles on his arms atrophied. Following is the account from graduate student Zhao Ming at Trinity College in Dublin: "...They ordered me not to sleep for two days and coerced me to 'reform.' After I refused, they tied my arms, upper body, legs, and feet to the bed plank. Then they put a rope across my mouth and tied down my head this way ...They shocked me all over my body with at least six electric batons, each one capable of releasing tens of thousands of volts of electricity. My entire body started to twitch and jerk fiercely. It was tremendously painful. I was short of breath and felt my throat dry up. I breathed with difficulty. From time to time they would stop to maintain my acuity to pain and tried to force me to sign some statements. Policeman Liu Guoxi was very experienced in using the electric batons. He held an electric baton in each hand and rolled the batons against my chest, using the wires to shock me. My ears were filled with the cracking of electric baton touching the flesh, and the air was filled with the scorched smell of flesh; each air particle was filled with violence and evil... They never stopped. With tremendous physical and mental torment, I almost could no longer maintain a clear mind and reasoning. [It lasted] until I agreed to reform." (more details, please see http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2002/6/14/23085.html) At the secret torture chamber on Jingyue Mountain, Jingyuetan, Changchun City, Falun Gong practitioner Zhang Zhikui was stripped naked. His hands were cuffed behind his back on a Tiger Bench; the guards repeatedly yanked his cuffed hands from behind him in front of his body; [in the process] his bones cracked and broke; tendons and bones were exposed on his ankles in his painful struggle, because his feet were shackled. The guards burned his entire back with cigarettes and candles until it turned black, and then they poured hot wax on his back until not a single intact piece of skin could be found. He refused to renounce his belief, even when the guards shocked his genitals, and the guards finally smashed the tip of his penis... 34-year-old Liu Haibo, a doctor from CT Section at the Luyuan District Hospital had a very long electric baton inserted into his anus, which directly shocked his internal organs until he died... At least 23 Falun Gong practitioners were tortured to death in an attempt to "reform" them at this torture chamber. Reenactment painting of burning Reenactment painting of Tiger Bench Wang Yuhuan, a 60-year-old woman was illegally detained and held in labor camp(s) nine times within six years by the Changchun police because she persisted in her belief in Truth-Compassion-Tolerance. She was tortured on the Tiger Bench for three days and two nights and was otherwise savagely tortured every five minutes. The guards poured boiling or freezing water on her after she lost consciousness, and they continued to torture after she came to; they shocked her head and face until they were scorched; they burned her eyes with cigarettes and stabbed the inside of her ears with thin bamboo sticks, which pierced her eardrums and caused permanent hearing loss...More horrific: the guards stripped Wang Yuhuan who is of similar age as the guards' parents and other female Falun Gong practitioners naked; they spread the practitioners' arms and legs, tied them to hard wood planks for 26 days and insulted them in every way possible. Yang Guang was tortured in the two years between January 2000 and March 2002. The torturers were Liang, head of Division 1 of the Changchun Police Department and his subordinates. They shocked him with electric batons, tortured him on the Tiger Bench and put him in a straitjacket, the Big Hang-up [In this torture, the practitioner is hung up by his cuffed hands and his feet just off the ground], tried to suffocate him by wrapping his head in a plastic bag and force-fed him alcohol. The beating caused him to lose hearing in his left ear and lose function in his arms, and his lower body became paralyzed. He was illegally sentenced to 15 years in prison. They took him to the section for old and disabled detainees at Jilin Prison. He was held at a "naked division" where the detainees are kept out of the sunlight all year long; their lower bodies are always bare, and they live in filthy feces and urine. Chang Xuexia, a quiet woman from Dalian City, was sent to the Dalian Labor Camp again in January 2003 because the morally bankrupt people wanted to "reform" her. Division head Wan Yalin ordered inmates to strip her naked, hang her up, beat and kick her, pinch her nipples, pluck her pubic hair, and savagely stab her vagina in a sawing motion with a large shoe brush... The perpetrators tortured practitioner Ms. Wang Lijun by pulling a knotted rope back and forth across her genitals, causing them to swell. They also broke a wooden handle of a broom and inserted the sharp end into her vagina, causing massive bleeding. Her lower stomach and genitals swelled tremendously. These brutes, completely devoid of human nature, used such torture on unmarried female practitioners! Reenactment photo: stabbing vagina with shoe brush These mind-numbing tortures exceed human imagination and defy any description. The 100% reform of Falun Gong practitioners is forcing each practitioner to choose between giving up their belief and enduring constantly escalating brutal persecution. For a determined cultivator, giving up his belief means spiritual death, while enduring constantly escalating persecution very likely leads to physical death. From any perspective, the CCP and Jiang's regime are clearly trying to wipe out Falun Gong. (To be continued)
