(Clearwisdom.net) Bai Yufu, a Falun Gong practitioner from Tieling, Liaoning Province, was illegally sentenced to five years in prison, and is currently being detained at the No. 3 Division of Shenyang Dongling Prison in Liaoning Province.
On April 25, 2009, Bai Yufu began a hunger strike to protest the torture of Falun Gong practitioners.
Prison officials, including No. 3 Division team lead Guo Baoyuan, director Ding Pei, sub-team lead Huo Xizhong, Chen Bin, and Lin Xinhai planned to torture him. They reported their plans to prison head Li Zhong and secretary Chen Xiaohan, and obtained approval. Prison sub-head Li Shujie ordered guards Yao Shuliang, Chen Mingqiang, and Chai Guanze to carry out the torture.
On April 28, 2009, Bai Yufu was sent to the prison hospital, where the sub division team lead Huo Xizhong ordered four prisoners to force-feed him. Hospital team lead Mao Jiansheng and director Zhou Qingjun ordered someone to bind his hands and feet to the bed with handcuffs. The perpetrators inserted a tube into his stomach through his nose and poured in porridge containing a sleep-inducing drug. The tube was left inserted and not removed after the forced feeding. The four assigned prisoners were ordered to monitor him in turn, and to not allow him to sleep. If they saw his eyes close, they tortured him. Chen Mingqiang told the prisoners, "If you don't torture him, I will kick you. If you do well, I will reduce your prison sentences." The prison head also checked to make sure Bai Yufu was not sleeping at night.
Seven days later, Bai Yufu still had not compromised his belief in Falun Gong. Prison sub-head Li Shujie then ordered No. 1 Division team lead Li Zhongjun to exchange four prisoners with the No. 3 Division. Chen Mingqiang and Cha Guangze told the new prisoners, "You can use any methods you choose to prevent him from sleeping." They also gave prisoners toothpicks and said, "If you do well, we will reduce your prison sentences."
On May 4, 2009, the prisoners crushed Bai Yufu's toes, causing his first and second toenails to fall off. On May 6, 2009, Chen Mingqiang ordered the prisoners to use a metal brush to go back and forth across is gaping wound. On May 8, 2009, Bai Yufu fainted, but the guards still continued persecuting him. They ordered the prisoners to let him sleep for a short period during the night. Then, they forced him to sit on a tiny stool from 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. They also forced-fed him with boiling-hot porridge followed by a big cup of cold water. He was only allowed to use the bathroom twice each day. This torture continued until May 28, 2009.
