(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioner Chen Kaiqu graduated from the China Science Academy with a master's degree. On the morning of March 25, 2008, Mr. Chen refused to do hard labor at Masanjia Forced Labor Camp in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. He is currently being incarcerated in the camp's No. 2 Division. For refusing to cooperate, guard Li Meng (ID 2108216) proceeded to shock Mr. Chen's face and neck with electric batons for an extended period of time. His face was covered with blisters and burns. He was disfigured to the extent that even those who knew him could not recognize him.
Mr. Chen Kaiqu, born in 1976, was a resident of Quanzhou City, Fujian Province. He was working in the Beijing Branch of Feitong Guangdian Company in Shenzhen City. On July 14, 2006, Chen Kaiqu was reported to the authorities while he was distributing truth-clarification materials on the campus of Zhongyang School of Financial Studies. He was arrested and taken to the Dazhongshi Police Station in the Haidian District in Beijing. The next day, he was incarcerated in the Haidian Police Department's Detention Center. On November 30, 2006, he was taken to the Forced Labor Dispatch Division in Beijing for a two-year term. On May 21, 2007, he was transferred to the No. 2 Division, No. 1 Camp of Masanjia Forced Labor Camp.
In order to cover up their crimes, the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp authorities have tried to prevent people from learning the facts, so they have forbidden detained practitioners from meeting with their families.
On February 20, 2008, the guards from No. 2 Division tried to make practitioners Liu Qing, Han Ximin, and Gao Yuling to do forced labor, but the three refused. In reprisal, the guards carried out torture that lasted more than an hour on the practitioners. They shocked them repeatedly with electric batons. Liu Qing was so badly injured that his lips became very swollen. His whole face was disfigured and he even had difficulty speaking. Even those who used to know him well had difficulty recognizing him. To this day, he still has not recovered.
On the same afternoon, Team Leader Wang Yanming brought Liu Qing into the guards' office. In the office were No. 2 Division Leader Gao Zhongzhi, Education Division Leader Pan Hongzhou, guards Yu and Li Zhen, No. 3 Team Leader Li Meng, Team Leader Chen, sewing group Yang, and others. Fang Hongzhou told Li Zhen to handcuff Mr. Liu Qing's hands behind his back and use three electric batons to shock him on his head and body. When Mr. Liu shouted, "Falun Dafa is good!" they held his arms down and began to shock his mouth and face with the electric batons. He continued to shout "Falun Dafa is good!" Policeman Fan Hongzhou then stuffed a plastic bag into Liu Qing's mouth so that he could not speak. They used electric batons to shock his head and eyes. They did this until the electric batons ran out of power. The police then went to No. 3 Division to borrow two more electric batons. They removed Liu Qing's pants and used the electric batons to shock him all the way from his feet, calves, and thighs to his torso, private parts, stomach, neck, and head. They repeated this six times, taking about an hour.
Before this, in order to protest the torture inflicted by the policemen in Masanjia, practitioner Mr. Zhao Jian shouted "Falun Dafa is good!" and "Stop the persecution of Falun Gong" in the canteen on February 14 and 15. The police then beat him and shocked him with electric batons in an erratic manner. In order to stop the torture and make an appeal for Mr. Zhao, the practitioners who were also incarcerated in the various teams started to go on a hunger strike as a protest and refused to do hard labor. The guards then carried out a mass persecution campaign specifically targeting the practitioners for one month.
