(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Zhang Hui, 30, from Antu
County, Jilin Province died as a result of brutal torture he suffered at
Gongzhuling Prison in Jilin Province.
When the doctor tried to perform surgery on Zhang Hui in April 2009, he saw that
Zhang Hui's stomach was black, which did not allow for surgery. Zhang Hui
later passed away in the hospital.
The prison spared no effort in covering up information related to Zhang Hui's
death. Zhang Hui was savagely abused for a long time at the prison and his
organs sustained serious injuries. The officials denied his request for medical
parole and only notified his aunt to come to the prison for a visit when it was
already too late for medical treatment.
Zhang Hui's mother Gao Zhimin, who is also a Falun Gong practitioner, has been
illegally detained at detention center(s) and labor camp(s), where
she endured inhuman torture. She went to Gongzhuling Prison many times but the
officials refused to let her see Zhang Hui, citing that she did not have an
"introductory letter" from the local 610 Office. Gao
Zhimin died after a sudden stroke in the fall of 2006.
Zhang Hui lived in Mingyue Town in Antu County, Jilin Province. His parents
divorced early, and he grew up with his grandparents and aunts. He moved in with
his mother in 1997 when he started high school, and he began practicing Falun
Gong at the same time. Zhang Hui's mother Gao Zhimin depended on drugs to
sustain her life before she practiced Falun Gong, and she rarely had a restful
night's sleep. She completely recovered through Falun Gong practice.
Prior to the incarceration, Zhang Hui was 1.72 meters [5'6''] tall and weighed
70 kg [154 lbs]. He was very healthy. Officers from Yilan Police Station in
Yanji City and the Domestic Security Division illegally arrested him on the
evening of May 26, 2004 and sentenced him to eight years in prison. He was
subsequently held at Gongzhuling Prison in Jilin Province.
Gongzhuling Prison is a place for felons; only criminals who have been sentenced
to ten or more years are sent there. Since 1999, this has been a torture chamber
for Falun Gong practitioners. The guards use electric shocks, savage beatings,
solitary confinement and other means to coerce the practitioners to renounce
their belief. The officials also force the practitioners to work for more than
ten hours a day. Many practitioners were tortured for resisting the hard labor.
Zhang Hui was held at Division 3. Official Liu Haiyang from the Prison
Administration Section beat him and political head Wang Jiqing from Division 3
held him in solitary confinement many times because he resisted the persecution.
The officials at Gongzhuling Prison have been torturing Falun Gong practitioners
over the past few years, and it continues to this day. Reportedly, Mr. Jin
Taijun from Longjing, Yanbian, Jilin Province was suffering from severe and
widespread ulcerations of the flesh, so deep that his bones were visible to the
naked eye. His life was in danger, so he was rushed to Gongzhuling Central
Hospital in April 2009.
