Ms. Gao Qiying and Her Younger Brother Mr. Gao Guoyuan from Zunyi City, Guizhou Province Imprisoned and Tortured

Aug. 4, 2008

(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioners, Ms. Gao Qiying, who is disabled, and her younger brother Mr. Gao Guoyuan from Zunyi City, Guizhou Province are currently illegally imprisoned separately at the Nanbai Detention Center in Zunyi City and the Sanshui Forced Labor Camp in Guangdong Province respectively. Because of the imprisonment of Ms. Gao Qiying and Mr. Gao Guoyuan, their two families have lost all sources of income.

Ms. Gao Qiying and her younger brother Mr. Gao Guoyuan were orphans in their childhood, and they grew up depending on each other.

Ms. Gao Qiying is only 5 foot 3 inches tall. Before practicing Falun Gong, her chest and back both had a hump, making it difficult for her to walk or to breathe. In 2000, Ms. Gao Qiying was fortunate to begin practicing Falun Dafa, and since then her walking and breathing have become very easy.

Ms. Gao supports her whole family with the meager income she makes from her photography, and also pays the school costs for her two boys. However, because the Olympic Torch was due to arrive in Zunyi City on June 14, 2008, the Zunyi police monitored and tracked all the Falun Gong practitioners on their "blacklist." On June 12, several dozen police from the Zunyi County State Security Division and the police department broke into Ms. Gao's home, stole her computer, printer, and modeling machine that she used for her photography business. Ms. Gao was then imprisoned at the Nanbai Detention Center.

Mr. Gao Guoyuan had a mental breakdown from the persecution he suffered at the Zhongba Forced Labor Camp

In 2001, Mr. Gao was illegally arrested and taken to the Zhongba Forced Labor Camp in Guizhou Province and persecuted for three years because he persisted in his belief in Falun Dafa. He suffered torture for a long time, which an average person could not withstand. Mr. Gao (in his thirties) was a security worker in the past and has good martial arts skills, but facing the prison guards' torture, he persisted in the principles of "not hitting back when attacked, and not talking back when insulted" and in this way he tried to peacefully persuade the guards not to commit wrongdoing. He was tortured by the guards to the point that he was covered with cuts and bruises and his brain was injured, his reactions became slow and he acted like a different person.

Guard Yang Renshou once locked Mr. Gao in the so-called "fortress attacking room,",and incited drug offenders such as Guo Lin to beat Mr. Gao so that his whole body was black and blue. Yang Renshou also once took Mr. Gao into an office and beat him mercilessly. After he fainted, Yang poured cold water on him to wake him. In mid-May of 2004, Mr. Gao was beaten by guards Yang Renshou, Li Jiliang and drug offenders Guo Lin, Long Xutao until his whole body was bruised, and he was mentally broken. He could not walk for several months, and afterwards his mental condition was abnormal. The drug offenders also forced him to eat excrement and drink urine.

After being persecuted at Zhongba Forced Labor Camp for three years, Mr. Gao was released, but his family's house had been drenched by the rain badly and had become unlivable because nobody had been there for years. Mr. Gao was forced to go to Guangdong Province to work. Unexpectedly, on August 30, 2007, Mr. Gao was arrested again in Wanjiang, Dongguan City by police from the 610 Office, and illegally imprisoned at the Dongguan Detention Center. His wife had to leave their 7-year-old child at home and carry her one-month-old newborn on her back to go to Guangdong to ask for the release of her husband. However, the wicked police denied responsibility and refused to release Mr. Gao. Under the baking sun, she carried her newborn and rushed back and forth between the police station and the labor camp, but the police did not even let her see her husband. Eventually, she spent more than one month there before she was allowed to see her husband on September 30, 2007. She saw that Mr. Gao had become extremely thin. He was handcuffed, his hands were badly wounded and bandaged with gauze, and he was thin and pale. Mr. Gao was forced to do slave labor for more than ten hours every day, but he was not allowed to eat a regular meal, and was compelled to eat the leftovers of others. Seeing Mr. Gao was persecuted like this, his wife was very distressed. The Dongguan Labor Camp manager also threatened her by saying, "The more noise you make here, the worse off your family member will be inside the camp." He then called in personnel from the local police station to forcefully carry her off.

Mr. Gao's wife fell ill from exhaustion, and had to take her child and return to her hometown where she rented a small private residence, waiting anxiously for her husband's return. Unfortunately, her husband was illegally sent to a forced labor camp for an 18-month term, and was taken to the "specially managed" team of the Sanshui Forced Labor Camp of Guangdong Province on November 16, 2007.
