Case Description:
Mr. Zhang Guangtian was a hard-working migrant worker. He was good at many different jobs, including making wool textile products, digging coal, and masonry work. He took up Falun Gong in 1997.
In July 1999, after the communist regime ordered the persecution of Falun Gong, the Party secretary in charge of Mr. Zhang's neighborhood ordered him to give up the practice. Because Mr. Zhang refused to comply, he was sent to a brainwashing center and subjected to many forms of torture.
He was arrested again on February 18, 2008 for putting up a sticker that said “Falun Dafa is good” and given one year at the Zaozihe Forced Labor Camp.
During his term, the guards once hung him by his wrists and hit him about the face hard, knocking out all of his teeth.
After a new brainwashing center was established in a vacation village in nearby Yulin City in June 2010, Mr. Zhang was arrested and sent there on June 24. He was subjected to brainwashing sessions, torture, and force-feeding.
The persecution took a toll on his health. He passed away in the spring of 2018, at the age of 66.
