(Minghui.org) A man in Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province was held in solitary confinement and put under strict management while jailed for his faith in Falun Gong.
Mr. Han Chunlong was arrested on October 2, 2023. He appeared in the Dadong District Court on February 27, 2024 and was sentenced to four years with a 30,000-yuan fine on March 25, 2024. He appealed with the Shenyang City Intermediate Court, which ruled to uphold his original verdict on May 15, 2024. Mr. Han was admitted to the Jinzhou Prison in August 2024 and assigned to Division 9.
Because Mr. Han didn’t swing his arms as instructed during a walk on October 13, 2024, the director of the guards, Zhang Zhiming, summoned him to his office. Zhang ordered Mr. Han to squat while he talked to him. Mr. Han refused to comply, insisting that he wasn’t a criminal. In retaliation, Zhang handcuffed Mr. Han’s hands behind his back and put him in solitary confinement for 45 days. He was also denied family visits during the time.

Mr. Han refused to do forced labor as ordered. The new division head, Zhou Xu, summoned him to his office on July 26, 2025 and ordered him to squat. Mr. Han again refused. Zhou then instructed four guards to hold him down on the ground and handcuff him. Mr. Han experienced sharp pain in his chest and ribs. They pushed him down several times and he almost fainted from the pain. The guards also sprayed pepper water into his face, including his eyes. After taking Mr. Han to the restroom to wash his eyes, they threw him into a solitary confinement cell. He still couldn’t open his eyes and remained lying on the ground. He skipped lunch that day. When he recovered a little, he sat up against the wall. He was held in solitary confinement for 15 days, until August 9.
