(Minghui.org) Eleven practitioners are currently being illegally detained in prisons and forced labor camps in Jiaohe City, Jilin Province. The following is a list of those who are detained:
1. Ms. Li Zhenhua is in her fifties. She was arrested by a dozen local plainclothes officers at her daughter’s home in Jiuzhan, Jilin City, at around 3:30 p.m. on April 23, 2008. The same night, she was taken to the anti-riot team facility of Jiaohe City, where she was tortured by being “hung up.” Her condition soon became critical, but she does not know how long she was in critical condition. As a result of the torture, she had spasms and vomited for nearly three weeks. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) police department, Procuratorate, and the court brought false charges against her. She was heavily sentenced to a ten-year term, and is now the Jilin Province Women’s Prison.
Torture re-enactment: “Hang-up”
Ms. Li had previously been held and tortured in the Jilin Province Women's Forced Labor Camp for two years. She was arrested on June 14, 2007, and her home was ransacked by officers from the Henan Police Station of the Chuanying Police Department in Jilin City. The police used a towel to cover her eyes and handcuffed her to a fixture on the wall at Henan Street Police Station. During the interrogation, she was handcuffed to a chair and experienced a heart episode, and went into spasms. Even when she was in such distress, the police still kept one of her hands handcuffed to a chair leg so that she could not stand up. Wang Hongbiao seized her by her hair, yanked her up, and smashed her head against the wall and slapped her face. An individual with the last name of Qu went to many of her family members to harass them. At midnight the next day, the police used a black hat to cover her head, and took her to the No. 1 Team facility of the Criminal Police and dragged her up to the sixth floor. She was handcuffed to a fixed iron chair for one day. Her legs and feet were securely bound. Her hands were then handcuffed to an iron loop. She was released after being tortured like this for 15 days.
