Practitioner Mr. Xiao Guozhi's Face Disfigured from Beating in Tieling City Labor Camp

March 18, 2006

(Clearwisdom.net) On the morning of February 14, 2006, the Fifth Ward Head Su Li (male) and others of Tieling City Labor Camp in Liaoning Province were encouraged by Labor Camp Director Wang Tiemin (male) to brutally beat five detained Falun Dafa practitioners and shock them with electric batons. The practitioners were Mr. Xiao Guozhi, Mr. Liu Zhenguo, Mr. Qian Chuanguo, Mr. Qin Jingtao, and Mr. Zhang Hongda. Mr. Xiao Guozhi was severely injured, and his face was disfigured.

The guards persecuted these five practitioners for refusing to wear uniforms. They tortured them with beatings and then shocked them with electric batons. Su Li ordered guards to use eight regular electric batons, plus one very high voltage electric baton. The tortured lasted for more than two hours.

Mr. Xiao Guozhi has been severely injured, and his face is severely disfigured due to the electric baton shocks. His lips are curved outward, and are swollen to one and a half inches thick; the left side of his face is deformed from the swelling, with a 5-inch-long unhealed wound from a baton burn, seeping liquid. His deformed face is a tragic sight to behold.

Another Falun Dafa practitioner, Mr. Du Shulin (58 years old), became deaf after being shocked with an electric baton by the Fourth Ward Head Li Hongjun (male). He has requested many times to be released for medical treatment, but all of his requests were refused.

The Third Ward of Tieling City Labor Camp is also a very brutal place, where Falun Dafa practitioners have been forced to do heavy labor every day.

On September 11, 2005, First Ward Head Miao Zhanling (male) directed more than 50 prisoners to beat nine practitioners (see http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2005/9/30/65430.html). The incident on February 14, 2006 is another example of the serious torture taking place in Tieling Labor Camp.
