(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Zheng Ying, from Jinan, was arrested on May 4, 2005 because she was promoting Falun Dafa. Fellow practitioner Zhu Yuezhen was arrested along with her. Zheng Ying was sent to the Jinan Liuchangshan Detention Center. She refused to cooperate with the unreasonable demands of the officers so they tied her on a death bed for four days and four nights. Zheng Ying's four limbs were stretched out and tied to the corners of the icy-cold metal bed. She could not move at all. Neither was she allowed to get up to eat, drink, or to go to the bathroom for four days. The torture injured her mentally and physically. They released Ms. Zheng only after her body was swollen and numb. They said they wouldn't have released her if not for her advanced age. While in the Jinan Detention Center, Zheng Ying was on a hunger strike the whole time to protest her unlawful detention, and continued to practice the Falun Gong exercises. None of the perpetrator's tricks worked on her, and she firmly refused to renounce Falun Dafa.
On June 3, the 610 Office director, Li Dongfeng, and police officer Xu Hui took Zheng Ying to the Jinan Jiangshuiquan Women's Labor Camp. Zheng Ying was very weak at that point, but the prison guards handcuffed her to the radiator for a day. To protest the persecution, on the second day in the labor camp, Zheng Ying wrote a letter to the State Department and National People's Congress to expose her situation.
The perpetrators left Ms. Zheng tied to the radiator with a belt and wouldn't let her have any water or use the restroom. They kept her there for months, until September 7, releasing her only a few brief times in between.
During this time, Zheng Ying would shout out, "Falun Dafa is wonderful!" The prison guards then took turns slapping her across the face and even taped her mouth shut.
By September, Ms. Zheng was tortured beyond recognition. Her body became purple and blue and was covered with pus. Her skin was very itchy. The prison guards let those that betrayed Falun Dafa as well as some other prisoners apply some ointment to her wounds. Her swollen face was covered with mucus and tears. Feeding tubes were placed into her nose, and a piece of cloth tied back her disheveled hair .
Zheng Ying's family members (non-practitioners) became very worried when they learned of her condition. They wanted to get her out, but the labor camp asked them for 10,000 yuan for medical expenses. The evil perpetrators continuously tried to force Ms. Zheng to give up practicing Falun Dafa, but Zheng Ying told them, "Now, more than ever, I understand that Falun Dafa is valuable. I won't give it up even if you point a gun to my head."
On September 7, 2005, Zheng Ying was finally released from Jiangshuiquan Women's Labor Camp. By this time, she was very weak.
