Yang Lijuan and Four Other Falun Gong Practitioners Tortured at the Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp in Changchun City

April 7, 2006

(Clearwisdom.net) Recently, guards at the Heizuizi Forced Labor Camp in Changchun City shocked five Falun Gong practitioners, including Yang Lijuan, with electric batons. In addition, they were strictly monitored and forced to watch video programs defaming Falun Gong.

Yang Lijuan, a Falun Gong practitioner in Jilin City, was open and aboveboard. After practicing Falun Gong, she wanted to be a good and dignified person. During her illegal detention period in the Forced Labor Camp, Yang Lijuan never followed the requests, commands, or orders from the evil guards. Therefore, the guards tried to find all kinds of excuses to torture her. Because Yang Lijuan refused to attend the illegal slave-labor activities, the guards punished her with long-term standing. Yang Lijuan wrote poems from Hong Yin on her palm, which became a reason for persecution by the guards. While her fellow practitioners were force-fed, Yang Lijuan stood up to stop the persecution, which made her get beaten by electric batons. In such a difficult situation, Yang Lijuan has never forgotten to clarify the truth about Falun Gong and save people. She constantly fought for the basic rights of living and freedom for fellow practitioners as well as herself. Yang Lijuan wrote and delivered a letter to the head of the labor camp. After that, however, five Falun Gong practitioners, including Yang Lijuan, were strictly monitored and forced to "study" the fact-twisting evil theories by watching video programs defaming Falun Gong. In the afternoon, workers from the Discipline Department of the labor camp came to ask their individual ideas. At the end of the conversation they were told that the environment would not change and that they should "protect themselves".

The following is a list of persecution Yang Lijuan was subjected to in police custody.

1. The police used "electric needles" to torture Yang Lijuan during the interrogation.

2. During the interrogation, policemen put a 1-meter long by 6 centimeter in diameter steel pipe on her ankles. Policeman Di Shigang, about 1.8 meter tall and with a strong build, stepped on the steel pipe and rolled it with his feet. In addition, scars from the handcuffs were on her wrists and on the backs of her hands. There are two scars on the back of the left hand, one on the left wrist, two on the right wrist, and one on the back of the right hand.

3. There were bruises all over Yang Lijuan's back, below her nose, and her face was disfigured similarly to Gao Rongrong, who was disfigured and tortured to death. After about sixteen days, the outside layer started to peel off.
