An Insider Reveals Details of Murders Committed at the Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Wang Junhua was detained in the Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp in Hebei Province. On the morning of May 1, 2005 she was forced to go out to work, and later disappeared. To date, no one has taken responsibility for her disappearance. Guards Chang Jinliang and Fang Bao, who were responsible for directly monitoring her, were not held responsible.

In connection with this, an insider has revealed details of murders being committed at the Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp:

The insider said, "Actually, many people die at the Gaoyang Forced Labor camp every year. Death is very common, not to mention cases of disappearance. Those divisions... which one has not killed someone? If they beat someone to death, they just find a doctor to issue a false death certificate and testimony for the cause of death, or they simply just bury the person to hide the evidence. When the family members of the deceased arrive, the person cannot be found. At most the authorities give the family some hush money. Creating false appearances is what they are good at and accustom to."

"For those that were killed, some of the family members do not let the authorities off so easily. The authorities, however, are more unscrupulous now. Before the Chinese New Year, the family member of a prisoner from Shandong Province came to look for him again. The prison told him that they had released him. Actually, this man had already been killed."

"There are also many who were injured and disabled. Besides Falun Gong, even the common prisoners are frequently beaten. Everyone says, "Gaoyang in Hebei Province is a living hell." "The prisoners wake up earlier than the rooster, are made to work harder than cattle, the meals they eat are worse than animal feed and they go to sleep later than the dogs." Now they have to work twelve hours per day. In the past they worked even longer hours. They had to make money for the prison factory, making at least 500 yuan per month for the prison. After working they still had to serve the team leader. If they were not careful they would be beaten. If they did not pay tribute to the team leader, they had better be careful."

"Whether it was Falun Gong practitioners or common prisoners, whatever happens to them, the higher-ranking officials are all aware. At the start of the Falun Gong persecution, Yang Zemin and his gang were exposed on the Internet. They were so frightened that they hid people like Wang Guoyou and Wang Zhidai in the lower teams. After three months when they saw that nothing happened, the two thugs were back again enforcing the persecution. This happened around August 2001. From then on, they were even more unscrupulous. Not a single Falun Gong practitioner escaped torture. The two guards and their boss Yang Zemin are ruffians. Would their superiors investigate? If these thugs were fired, who would help their superiors persecute Falun Gong practitioners? You must realize that the Gaoyang Judicial Court turns a deaf ear to everything happening here. You can sue them and expose them, but the superiors will only inform and remind the lawless persons to be a good example for the rest. Hasn't the Communist Party been doing this for years? For the Communist Party's bad deeds, it has always been the top manipulating the bottom, and afterwards they just push the blame on those at the bottom."

Falun Gong Practitioner Wang Junhua Disappears From the Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp in Hebei Province - Her Whereabouts are Unknown

During the morning of May 1, 2005, practitioner Ms. Wang Junhua, who was illegally held at the Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp, was forced to feed ostriches at a courtyard segregated by electrified wires. She did not return to her dormitory at noon as usual, and her current whereabouts are unknown. An informant claims that political head, Li Xuejun, said she was hospitalized due to sudden illness. According to an investigation however, the labor-camp-designated hospital had not admitted any patients from the labor camp. At noon, political head Li Xuejun went to the dormitory many times but it's uncertain what she did there.

Persecutors Chang Jinliang and Fang Bao from the labor camp have beat female inmates to death and raped some female inmates, which resulted in their becoming pregnant. These perpetrators conspired with the hospital, and the doctor fabricated medical documents.

Male inmates were beaten to death then secretly buried. The labor camp authorities then publicly declared that the victims had escaped. Due to the vicious nature of the incidents taking place at this labor camp, we call for urgent attention from related government departments in pressing the officials at the Gaoyang Labor Camp and at the Hebei Labor Reeducation Bureau to investigate Wang Junhua's disappearance, and to prosecute all who are responsible.

Due to condoning and even encouragement from the Hebei Labor Reeducation Bureau, Yang Zemin and Li Xuejun, the division heads in charge of persecuting Falun Gong, along with guards Fang Bao and Chang Jinliang, ruthlessly tortured the practitioners. Yang Zemin forced many female inmates to have sex with him. He also seduced or coerced female guards to have sex with him. Many young female guards were traumatized after being forced into sex, but most of them remained silent and dared not speak out.

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Wang Junhua, 43, lived in Chaigoubao Town, Huaian County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province. In October 2004 she was abducted while clarifying the truth to a young man. After one month of illegal detention she was sent to the Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp.

On April 26, 2005, government officials came to inspect the Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp. The labor camp authorities sent sick inmates, Falun Gong practitioners, and others who they thought might cause "trouble" for them, to the backyard. They took the rest of the detainees to a room on the second floor and gave them a "talk." Yang Zemin threatened, "If you say anything you are not supposed to during the inspection, you can expect something very unpleasant afterwards." Yang Zemin then called eight of his cronies and told them to lie to the inspectors according to a pre-written script he provided. He told them that if they did "well" they would be released early.

The Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp has always claimed to be concerned with the health of Falun Gong practitioners, yet the truth is:

(1) The labor camp often accepts people with high blood pressure, heart disease and mental illness, who according to law, should be rejected.

Detainee Wang Lei often goes into episodes of mental collapse. The division guards "cared" for her by gagging her with socks and handcuffing her wrists. Falun Gong practitioners who spoke out against the abuse were shocked with electric batons.

(2) The persecutors torture nearly every detainee.

In March 2005, practitioner Wang Sufang was beaten so brutally that she was rushed to the hospital emergency room several times, and was eventually released on medical parole. The guards use an old crank telephone device (turning the crank generates electricity) and electric batons to shock the practitioners.

(3) The guards often insult and threaten the practitioners. In March 2005 the division held a meeting. Practitioners who were seriously ill were carried to the meeting. During the meeting Chang Jinliang pointed at the practitioners with his electric baton, and Yang Zemin cursed and cursed, complaining that his scandals were exposed on the Minghui/Clearwisdom website.

(4) They force practitioners, including those who are sick, to work in a shop, and later in their quarters. Practitioner Zhao Shuying was extremely weak. When she passed out the division heads poked fun at her.

(5) Other than emergencies and work times, the practitioners were forced to stay in the room and sit on stools, and were cursed at when they made a small movement. They were forced to count off and greet the division each morning.

(6) The authorities also embezzle the practitioners' food money. Each practitioner has 200 yuan food money per month, yet they are given vegetable soup with very few vegetables in it. Because of the aforementioned reasons, many practitioners are weak. During a provincial inspection on April 26 they were carried out to a vegetable field to avoid being seen by the provincial officials.

A while ago, the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners by Yang Zemin and other personnel at the Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp were exposed on the Minghui/Clearwisdom website several times. The authorities were afraid. They ordered the windows and doors shut. They cursed at the practitioners, held meetings, and threatened their subordinates, who threatened the practitioners, trying to find out how the news got out. The food improved for a few days before returning to its previously poor condition.

On April 26, another provincial inspection team arrived, and Yang Zemin again ordered the practitioners in the male division to be taken out and hidden in the vegetable field. Five sick female inmates, one of whom suffered a mental collapse after being tortured, were also dragged to the vegetable field. Practitioner Li Cuiping tried to stop them. Yang Zemin ordered her to be handcuffed, thrown on a cart, and pushed into a room used to torture Falun Gong practitioners. She was tortured for the better part of the day. Yang Zemin said to his subordinates, "Give her a good electric shock." The name above this room's doorframe reads "Heavenly Abode." Inside they shocked the practitioners with a crank telephone device, and savagely beat them. The roughnecks are Chang Jinliang and Fang Bao.

For doing the exercises, practitioner Mr. Li Zhenhai from Yi County, Hebei Province suffered a mental collapse after being beaten and shocked with the crank telephone device in November 2004. He still has not fully recovered and often has nightmares. In October 2003, Li Zhenhai was deceived into coming to a police station while at work, and was illegally detained at the department for one month, after which he was sent to the No. 4 Division of the Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp. Li Zhenhai was forced to work twelve hours per day on a daily basis. Because he did the Falun Gong exercises at night, team leader Wang Dong ordered inmates Luo Jian and Sun Peng to beat and kick him, claiming he wasn't doing a good job. In August 2004, Li Zhenhai was beaten until his left eardrum ruptured. After three examinations at a hospital confirmed the diagnosis, he was transferred to a division specializing in the persecution of Falun Gong.

The Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp is known for its brutality in torturing Falun Gong practitioners, and nicknamed "heaven on earth." Since the persecution of Falun Gong began, personnel and atrocities at the Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp topped the national list in several regards. The most number of victims (ten rows of detainees were chained to the ground then beaten and shocked with electric batons, over 1,000 people were tortured), the longest torture time, and the use of banned torture tools including the crank telephone device as electric shock tools. The guards here are ruthless and their torture is most widespread. Authorities from other labor camps came to the Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp to get "tips" on how to torture people more effectively. Yang Zemin personally demonstrated these tips. Toward the end of 2004, practitioner Wang Zhankun from Mongolia was beaten and shocked with the crank telephone device for several nights in a row while being deprived of sleep. It was learned that because the Gaoyang Forced Labor Camp is among the most "advanced" in its persecution of Falun Gong, the CCP leadership has already planned to use Yang Zemin and other head perpetrators at the labor camp as scapegoats, once the Jiang Zemin regime's crime of persecuting Falun Gong is widely exposed.

During the past few years, after the persecution was exposed, the provincial government did not organize an investigation or order the local governments to monitor the investigation and outcome. Instead, they sent the reports to the labor camp divisions in charge of persecuting Falun Gong and let them deal with it on their own. Obviously, all investigations by these divisions, if conducted at all, will only serve as formalities or as attempts to silence public outcry. The real purpose is to cover up, encourage, or directly conduct these crimes.

Practitioner Liang Yufeng from Sichuan Province is Arrested - Her Family Feels Bitter and Helpless

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Liang Yufeng from Luzhou City, Sichuan Province had suffered from persecution by the local authorities many times. In November 2004, Ms. Liang Yufeng was illegally abducted by 610 Office personnel, including Lin Min, Tang Deyuan, and Lai Guokang. She was detained for a month, although the detention certificate stated only two weeks. On April 10, 2005, Lai Yi arrested her again and detained her in Naqi Detention Center.

Liang Yufeng is a widow. Her family members include her ailing elderly father, who is in his 90s, and a young grandson without mother's care. The local police station, National Security Section, and the neighborhood committee have often harassed the entire family. Her family lives in constant terror. On May 11, 2005, a police officer asked Liang Yufeng's son, You Xiaohua, to sign an arrest warrant in order to further persecute his mother. You Xiaohua, who had now reached his limit of enduring the mental pressure, had a mental collapse when he thought about the persecution that his kind mother would suffer again. Feeling desperate, he attempted to commit suicide by jumping from the building the next day, but his sister-in-law stopped him. He is now in a mental hospital.

Both You Xiaohua's bother and sister-in-law resigned from their jobs in order to tend to their brother, elderly grandfather, and two young children. Without any stable income, the family leads a bitter life.

Luzhou City is once again carrying out brainwashing sessions under the direction of the "610 Office." Professor Tang Xuezhen and Ms. Luo Shuizhen have been deceived and again detained in the Shibaowan Brainwashing Center.

Falun Gong Practitioner Kang Zhiguo Tortured to Death in Shanxi Province First Prison

Mr. Kang Zhiguo, a practitioner of Falun Gong, was employed by the Shanxi Province Mining Bureau. He was tortured in the Shanxi Province First Prison (also called the Jinzhong Prison). He was brutally beaten by prison guards with wooden clubs, which caused paralysis and the inability to stand upright. He died on May 20, 2005 inside the prison.

Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Kang Zhiguo was sentenced to three years in prison in late 2002. He was serving his term in the Jinzhong Prison, located in Qi County. Because he refused to accept brainwashing, Mr. Kang was viciously tortured by prison guards and other prisoners. The percentage of Falun Gong practitioners accepting brainwashing in this particular prison has been very low. In July 2004, as directed by the 610 Office, the prison undertook a new policy, known as "Hundred Days Attacking," to torture steadfast Falun Gong practitioners by using brutal beatings administered by hardcore prisoners, such as killers, and robbers.

During this period, Mr. Kang Zhiguo was beaten by prisoners with heavy clubs until he lay paralyzed on the floor and could not stand up for a long time. Under these unrelenting tortures, Mr. Kang, against his will, wrote a statement refuting his faith and belief in Falun Gong.

Another Falun Gong practitioner, Mr. Liu Zhibin from Xiguan Village, Wuling Town, Lingxiu County, was tortured to death on July 20, 2004. His family was told that he died of a heart attack. However, his family found that his body was covered with wounds, his wrists still showing the bruises from tight handcuffs. His body showed signs of electric shocks and burns from electric batons that were too horrible to look at.

In May 2005, Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Kang Zhiguo declared that all of his written statements renouncing the practice, made under duress, were null and void. This infuriated the prison guards. At the end of May, his family received a notice that he died of an illness on May 20, 2005.

Eighteen Falun Gong Practitioners from Guangxi, Jiangsu, Chongqing, Sichuan Provinces and Other Areas Die from the Persecution

Mr. Xu Mingdong, 73, and his wife Mrs. Xu Anqi were Falun Gong practitioners from Yulin City, Guangxi Province. After they retired in 1995 they were fortunate to learn Falun Gong. Their minds and bodies improved and were purified. During the 2001 Chinese New Year, they were illegally arrested by officers from the Yulin City Police Department and were sent to the Yulin City Detention Center where they were locked up for over two months. During this time, Mrs. Xu's mind and body were injured. After her release, Mrs. Xu died in June 2002. Mr. Xu Mingdong lived with his mother, who was in her 90s. He was continually harassed and monitored. These high-pressure circumstances took their toll on Mr. Xu. He showed symptoms of hydrocephalus in late 2004 and died on April 22, 2005.

Ms. Chen Ying, 57, resided in the Xiaguan District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province. Ms. Chen was arrested in 1999 and was persecuted to the brink of death in a forced labor camp. The evildoers were afraid of taking responsibility and sent her back home that same year. Ms. Chen died one month later.

Ms. Xiao Yexiu, 63, was a resident of Luchuan County, Yulin City, Guangxi Province, and started to practice Falun Gong in 1998. Before that, Ms. Xiao suffered from hypertension. She was very thin and had a bad temper. Through studying Zhuan Falun and doing the five sets of exercises, she benefited significantly, both mentally and physically. She had a normal life and gradually developed an open mind. Black hair surprisingly grew in place of her white hair. Her family was amazed. After July 20, 1999, during the course of evil propaganda and the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) arrest of Falun Gong practitioners, she withstood extreme pressure from the propaganda and the severe circumstances, and persisted in practicing for a long time. Before the 2002 Chinese New Year, Ms. Xiao died while under high pressure from a new round of arrests of Falun Gong practitioners carried out by the 610 Office in Yulin City.

Ms. Chen Jiafang, 65, was a resident of the Dachang District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province. Ms. Chen was the volunteer contact person for the Dachang District. In 1999 the persecutors sent her to a forced labor camp. Due to the persecution, her previous illnesses relapsed. She was released on medical bail for treatment. Ms. Chen died in January 2005.

Mr. Wang Fuxin was a resident of the Dachang District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, and an employee of the Nanjing Chemical Industry Cooperation. When the persecution started in 1999, persons from the street residential committee, along with police officers, often went to his home to harass him and force him to "reform," which resulted in his old illnesses relapsing. Mr. Wang died in spring 2004.

Mr. Xu Taibin was a resident of Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province. He was a faculty member of Nanjing Agriculture University and lived in Houzaimen. After he learned Falun Gong in 1996, his body became light and without illnesses, and he went to spread Falun Gong. After the persecution started in 1999, Mr. Xu was locked up in a forced labor camp, where he suffered a stroke due to the persecution. Mr. Xu died in winter 2004.

Mrs. Feng Yongyuan, 66, was a Falun Gong practitioner from the Banan District, Chongqing City. After July 20, 1999, when the evil CCP officially began to persecute Falun Gong, lawless authorities often harassed and persecuted her. They threatened to cut off her husband's pension, which prompted her husband to beat her. Because of the mental and physical torture Mrs. Feng died in May 2003.

Mr. Zheng Xianyu, 74, was a retired employee of the Sichuan Forestry. Mr. Zheng lived in the No. 2 Group, Puming Village, Mianyang City, Sichuan Province. He started to practice Falun Gong in 1998. Within one year he recovered from his illnesses, including urine calculus. One morning in June 2000, Mr. Zheng went to the local Dongtian Park to attend a experinece sharing conference. When he arrived at the gate of the park, police officers in hiding from the Xiaofuqiao Police Station arrested him. In the police station he was interrogated and threatened. They ransacked his home and confiscated all his Falun Gong books. Because at that time he didn't understand the laws of Falun Gong deeply enough, under pressure he gave his fingerprints on the record and signed a guarantee statement. Later, he solemnly declared on the Minghui/Clearwisdom website these actions were invalid and that he would firmly practice Falun Gong. Subsequently, Gao Yupu, party secretary of the No. 2 Group, Puming Village often led the local police to harass and threaten him. The elderly man's old illnesses, including urine calculus, relapsed and he died on July 14, 2001.

Mr. Ou Xiaode, 58, resided at 135 Yongfa Rd., Yongxing Town, Mianyang City, Sichuan Province. Before practicing Falun Gong he was very weak with many illnesses. After he had esophageal cancer surgery, his health was severely impaired. In 1997 he fortunately learned Falun Gong, and then his illnesses went away. His body became healthy and he could even perform heavy physical work. After the evil CCP began to persecute Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, to appeal on behalf of Falun Gong, Mr. Ou went to Beijing in December 1999. He was arrested while he was doing the exercises. Authorities from the Yongxing Police Station took him back from Beijing and detained him for 15 days. They extorted him of 5,000 yuan and ransacked his home. From February 26 to March 20, 2001, Mr. Ou was illegally locked up in the Gaoxin District Brainwashing Center for forced brainwashing and "reforming." Under the evil and brutal persecution, Mr. Ou wrote a guarantee statement giving up the practice. In July or August 2001, Mr. Ou asked fellow practitioners to help him make a solemn declaration on the Minghui/Clearwisdom website saying that all he had said and written under the evil high pressure was void, and that he would act righteously in the future. Because of long-term threats, and being tailed and monitored, Mr. Ou's body and mind were severely harmed. In early 2003 his body became swollen with ascites. Even so, Mr. Ou still persisted in going out to clarify the truth. Later, his illness exacerbated and he died on July 22, 2003.

Mr. Chen Qi, 73, was a Falun Gong practitioner from Wuhan, Hubei Province. Before he learned Falun Gong in 1993, he suffered from many illnesses. Later, all of his illnesses vanished. After July 20, 1999, police officers often went to his home to harass him, and Mr. Chen had to live elsewhere. Mr. Chen died on November 16, 2003.

Ms. Zhou Yun, 58, was a retired employee of the Gezhouba Repair Factory in Yichang City, Hubei Province. Ms. Zhou was many times harassed and persecuted by terrorists from the Gezhouba 610 Office. In 2002, personnel from the Gezhouba 610 Office planned to send her to a brainwashing center. To avoid further persecution, Ms. Zhou left her home and wandered about for a long period of time. Ms. Zhou passed away in the summer of 2003 at her schoolmate's home.

Ms. Gu Shichun, 65, was a resident of Guzhuangzi, Fengrun District, Tangshan City, Hebei Province. After she learned Falun Gong in 1996, all manner of illnesses from which she had suffered vanished without treatment. After July 20, 1999, when the evil CCP started to persecute Falun Gong practitioners, lawless personnel from the police station wanted to send her to a brainwashing center. They went to her home to harass her four times. Thus, Ms. Gu's body and mind were severely injured. She died of illnesses on November 5, 2000.

Ms. Luo Huirong was in her 50s, and was a villager from Chengnei Village, Fengrun District, Tangshan City, Hebei Province. On July 20, 1999 Ms. Luo went to Beijing to appeal. After her return the evildoers harassed her many times, which resulted in her previous illnesses relapsing. Ms. Luo died of illnesses in 2000.

Ms. Gao Fangrong, 54, was a practitioner from Fuyu County, Jilin Province. In October 2000, Ms. Gao went to Beijing to appeal on behalf of Falun Gong and was arrested. She was sent to the Fuyu County Detention Center and detained there for one month. The persecution severely harmed her body and spirit. Ms. Gao passed away on August 7, 2001.

Ms. Li Guiqin, 78, was a practitioner from Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province. Many of her illnesses disappeared on the same day she learned Falun Gong in 1998. After July 20, 1999, she was harassed frequently by police officers and had no choice but to leave home and wander about to avoid being persecuted. Ms. Li died in July 2003 in Dalian City.

Mr. Xu Huaxiang, 47, was a resident of Jinxiang County, Jining City, Shandong Province. Mr. Xu started to practice Falun Gong in 1998. After the persecution began on July 20, 1999, he was arrested and sent to a local detention center twice for appealing on behalf of Falun Gong and clarifying the truth about the practice. In October 2002, Mr. Xu was forcibly taken to a local brainwashing center. He was sent back home after he held a hunger strike. Mr. Xu died of relapsed liver disease on December 15, 2002.

Mr. Wang Lianshu, 71, was a retired employee of the Yingtai Transportation Company in Hebei Province. He had suffered from Hepatitis B and low blood pressure. After he practiced Falun Gong all of his illnesses disappeared without treatment. He became mentally and physically healthy. Whenever he talked to anyone, he told them that Falun Gong brought good things to him. His wife and daughter were illegally locked up for over two months and extorted of 3,000 yuan because they went to Beijing to appeal in 2002. His workplace and the town police station authorities also exerted pressure on him. During the forced brainwashing, Mr. Wang wrote the so-called guarantee statement. Later, Mr. Wang made a declaration on the Minghui/Clearwisdom website saying that all the words he wrote against his will were void, and that he would compensate for his faults through correct actions. Mr. Wang was taken back to his hometown because he practiced Falun Gong. At New Years and other holidays, both the workplace and the town government organized people to "visit" him (actually monitoring and threatening him). They feared that he would go to appeal. Having his body and mind traumatized, Mr. Wang's previous illnesses recurred and he died on November 11, 2004.
