Prison Guards in the First Supervision Area of Mudanjiang Jail Direct a Convicted Murderer to Brutally Beat Practitioners

June 7, 2005

(Clearwisdom.net) Instructor Li Jiezhi, Secretary Li Yuhong, Instructor Li Wei; Squadron Commander Dong Yujiang, Prison Instructor Wang He and others from the First Supervision Area of Mudanjiang Jail in Heilongjiang Province directed Liu Lijun, a robber and convicted murderer who now has two years of his sentence left to serve, to carry out intense persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners.

Because of strong support from jail and prison instructors in this supervision area, criminal Liu cruelly beat practitioners Mr. Yang Xiaoguang, Mr. Sun Rongxiao, and Mr. Liu Guolai. Liu beat Mr. Yang until he was bleeding from his nose and mouth, his face was distorted from the swelling, and his mouth was so injured that he was unable to eat. Mr. Liu Guolai was beaten until his eye sockets were black. He had three broken ribs, and he was unable to get up from the ground. Mr. Sun suffered from a merciless beating for four days. His face was deformed from the beating. After two days, Mr. Sun, who is over 50, was beaten again. He was beaten until he couldn't get up from the ground.

Less than a month after the 2005 Chinese New Year, Liu was more rampant than ever in attack practitioners, but he continued to do so with blessings from the jail authorities. Liu dared to do this because he was incited to do so by the jail officials, the area magistrate of the First Supervision Area, and the prison instructors.

During the first ten days of December 2004, Li Jiezhi, Li Yuhong, Li Wei, Dong Yujiang, Wang He and other prison guards in the First Supervision Area assembled more than 30 criminals to carry out the persecution of four practitioners in this area. They assigned four criminals to each practitioner to act as watchdogs, taking shifts to monitor the practitioners 24-hours a day. If a practitioner did not write a "guarantee letter," they would torture the practitioner by depriving him of sleep, forcing him to straighten his back and sit on a board cross-legged, covering his eyes with pieces of paper, violent beatings, and other methods. Squadron Commander Dong Yujiang told these criminals, "No matter what methods you use, that will be right as long as you are able to make them write the 'four statements'." Secretary Li Yuhong said, "This work is directly related to the percentage of your jail sentence that can be commuted upon review." Prison guard Wang He said, "Punish them for me. I will take responsibility if there is a problem."

Poisoned with propaganda, threatened and enticed by promises by these Chinese Communist Party government personnel, the criminals aggressively persecuted practitioners. In secret these criminals told practitioners about their predicament, "If we don't persecute you, they will punish us. We want to go home, so we have to follow what the jail instructors say. If they tell us to beat you, we have to beat you. All of us know you are good people and did not commit any crimes, but this tactic is used to persecute good people across the country. We do not have any other choice. Otherwise, we will not have any good days."
