(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Chen Zhuoyi is 32 years
old. She is from Chikan District, Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province. She
started to practice Falun Gong in June 1997. Since then, she has required
herself to become a better person by following "Truthfulness -Compassion
-Forbearance." She worked very hard and was given the "Excellent
Employee" Award. However, after Jiang Zemin and the CCP started to
persecute Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, she clarified the truth to
others. The following are some of Ms. Chen Zhuoyi's experiences.
1. Handcuffed and burned with cigarettes at Fangshan Detention Center in
Beijing
In the winter of 2000, Ms. Chen Zhuoyi went to Tiananmen Square in Beijing and
opened a banner that said "Falun Dafa is good." She was immediately
surrounded by police and was beaten very badly and was illegally sent to the
Fangshan Detention Center near Beijing.
In efforts to force her to reveal her name and address, police cuffed and
tortured her. They put both of her hands behind her back and twisted them up,
locking them together in one cuff while locking the other cuff to a metal chair.
The cuff was so tight it took several people quite some time to open it up
later. When the cuff was clamped on, Ms. Chen's hands and arms immediately felt
intense pain. In addition, they kicked the cuffs with their boots and hammered
away at them with their hands. In this way, the policemen tortured her for 8
hours causing great pain. In the end, the capillary vessels of two hands broke
and the blood couldn't circulate. Both her hands turned black with a very deep
mark where the cuff was locked on. Her right hand had no feeling. It took a very
long time for her hands to recover.
They also poured cold water on her body and burnt her with lit cigarettes. They
beat her, but she still wouldn't tell her name and address. After four days on a
hunger strike, they finally released her. During her release, the policeman who
interrogated her cursed her, saying that because of her he couldn't get the 200
yuan bonus!
2. Electric shock Torture at Shahe Detention Center in Guangzhou City
In March 2001, Ms. Chen Zhouyi once again went to Beijing to appeal and was
illegally arrested by Guangzhou East Railway Station 610
Office. After that she was transferred to Shahe Penitentiary. Fourteen
Falun Gong practitioners were already being detained there.
After two days of detention, because she did not cooperate, she was cuffed by
the policewomen. They stepped on her and then shocked her with two electric
batons for a long time. Her face turned red and was swollen. After shocking her,
they sprayed her face with red pepper spray, making it hard for her to breathe.
However, they still could not get her name and address from her.
During the illegal detention, she was not allowed to take a shower (not even
later when her whole body get very dirty because of force feeding). They only
gave her a little bit of water to drink. Her bowel movement was so dry that a
stick had to be used to remove it. Under these circumstances, she was detained
about two months. Because she was on a hunger strike, they brutally force fed
her, and made her mouth bleed.
3. The cruel persecution experience at Baiyun District Mental Hospital in
Guangzhou City
After 14 days of hunger strike, the agents of "610 Office," the
penitentiary and doctor Chen Dezhi who is the mental hospital director took her
and 14 practitioners and sent them to Baiyuan District Mental Hospital for
"treatment." They locked them in the last section of bungalows in the
Hospital with more than 50 mental patients (that nobody wanted to take care of).
The hospital ordered the drug users to give injections to them. Doctor Chen
Dezhi started to order three drug users in the hospital to beat Ms. Chen Zhuoyi.
While they were beating her, they said, "There is no responsibility for
beating people to death in a mental hospital. If you continue to practice, we
will beat you to death." By then many parts of her body were a dark purple,
her ribs were fractured and painful. She had a hard time turning her body in
bed. She needed help to get out of bed. After that she got scabies all over her
body. Some parts of her body festered and swelled. The other 14 practitioners
also were beaten very badly, they had wounds all over their bodies. One of them
even passed out.
4. Illegally detained at Sanshui Forced Labor Camp in Guangdong Province
In October 2001, because she distributed truth clarification materials on the
street, Ms. Chen Zhuoyi was arrested and sent to Sanshui Forced Labor Camp. They
tried to brainwash her and she was kept in isolation. She was not allowed to use
the bathroom. She had to relieve herself in the room. However, she couldn't be
forced to give up her belief. Camp officials extended her term. Instead of
releasing her, they later sent her to Zhanjiang City and kept her in a
brainwashing center for a month. They still couldn't make her give up Falun
Gong. They finally released her.
5. Illegally detained again
In February 2004, because she distributed the truth clarification materials near
her company, someone ignorant of the truth reported her to police. She was
arrested and once again sentenced to 2 years at Sanshui Forced Labor Camp. She
was isolated in a storage room on the fifth floor. There was a desk and three
chairs. Nine policemen took turns watching her 24 hours a day. They tried to
brainwash her every day by playing propaganda videos. However, she refused to
cooperate with them, and tried to tell them the truth about Falun Gong. She told
them there are consequences to doing good and evil. However, they did not listen
to her and continued to torment her. In addition, they ordered two drug inmates
to monitor and torture her (later there were three).
These drug inmates always beat and pinched her, or they would hang her upside
down. They wouldn't let her sleep even after every four days. On the fifth day
she was only allowed to sleep for one hour. Whenever she closed her eyes the
inmates would pull her hair, poke her ears, pull up her eyelids, or pour cold
water on her head. Then she was held in front of the air-conditioner, freezing
her. She was not allowed to sit. She had to stand for 24 hours. She wasn't
allowed to change her wet clothes, take a shower or even use the bathroom. Once
she relieved herself on the ground, so the inmates were ordered to clean up the
urine with a piece of dirty cloth and put it into her mouth. One time when they
saw her sitting on the ground, they ordered the inmates to pour boiling water on
the ground causing her skin to blister. This was how she was mistreated in the
forced labor camp for four months. She fainted several times.
After going through all this persecution, she still didn't give up her belief.
To prevent her from influencing other practitioners, they sent her to the drug
group. In order to resist persecution as well as expose the secret of the forced
labor camp, one time in the cafeteria she stepped out and spoke in front of the
thousands of inmates. She shouted loudly, "Stop the persecution of Falun
Gong in Division 3..." She also shouted out her persecution experience.
Authorities told her they would investigate, although she received no response.
They again forced her to work. She refused to cooperate and started a hunger
strike, so they brutally force fed her. They ordered two drug inmates to tie up
her hands and left the feeding tube in her nose. After eight days, they finally
agreed not to force her to work.
Because she refused to give up her belief, her term was extended by one month.
Zhanjiang City "610 Office" took her out of Sanshui Forced Labor Camp
and detained her again in the brainwashing center in Zhanjiang City for another
four months. She was locked in a small room and was not allowed to go out.
Because she did not cooperate, she was locked into a dark room several times.
They threatened that if she talked about the persecution in Sanshui Forced Labor
Camp, they would arrest her again. Ms. Chen Zhuoyi refused to give up her belief
under any circumstances, and she was finally released.
