2. Fall: Herr SU Gang (Provinz Shandong)Su was a software engineer of Qilu Petrochemical Company. On May 23, 2000, the security officers in his workplace sent him to the Changle Mental Hospital without notifying his family members. Su was detained in the mental hospital for nine days, and was overdosed with forced injections everyday. Upon learning that Mr. Su was locked in a mental hospital, Su's uncle went on a hunger strike, and as a result, Mr. Su was released on May 31, 2000. When Mr. Su got home, he looked slow, stiff, and extremely weak. He died on the morning of June 10, 2000. Medienbericht: Washington Post Editorial - Bad Medicine in ChinaCHINA'S CRACKDOWN on members of the spiritual group known as Falun Gong continues. In April 1999 Falun Gong frightened the Communist government by assembling some 10,000 people for a peaceful demonstration in Beijing. The government banned the "evil cult" two months later. Since then, China's Falun Gong adherents have been subjected to a systematic campaign of harassment aimed at forcing them to renounce their beliefs. The authorities' methods have included surveillance, detention, beatings and torture; some 22 Falun Gong believers have lost their lives, according to the Hong Kong-based Information Center for Human Rights and Democracy. Now come charges that China's rulers have resorted to another instrument of repression: forcibly committing Falun Gong adherents to psychiatric institutions. The old Soviet Union pioneered the misuse of psychiatry against political dissidents; China has followed suit in at least three documented cases in the past decade. But the story of 32-year-old computer engineer Su Gang, who had been repeatedly detained by the security department of his workplace for refusing to renounce Falun Gong, is dramatic nonetheless. After traveling to Beijing April 25 to protest the ban on Falun Gong, he was arrested again; on May 23, his employer, a state-run petrochemical company, approved commitment papers that authorized the police to drag him off to a mental hospital. According to Mr. Su's father, Su Dean, doctors injected Mr. Su twice a day with an unknown substance. When Mr. Su emerged a week later, he could not eat or move his limbs normally. On June 10, the previously healthy young man died of heart failure. Falun Gong practitioners have since released what they say are accounts of similar abuses against more than 100 other members of the movement. None of these other cases ended in death, but the stories are broadly similar: Falun Gong members, usually those who either went to Beijing to protest or were accused of having done so, are arrested and told they must abandon their beliefs. Then, sometimes after spending days in jail, they are confined for additional periods in mental hospitals. Unfortunately, these still-sketchy reports are difficult to confirm, and none is as well-documented as the story of Mr. Su--whose confinement in the hospital has been confirmed to the Western press by an official of the institution itself. The job of shedding further light on this seemingly ominous turn in China's treatment of its own people falls to international human rights organizations--and democratic governments outside China. © 2000 The Washington Post Company http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A45724-2000Jun22.html 3. Fall: Frau AN Xiukun (Provinz Hebei)An was a teacher in the Zhongxin Street Elementary School of Hengshui City. An was removed from her post, and fined 2,800 Yuan for practicing Falun Gong. Because of the unfair treatments against her, An went to the Beijing Public Security Ministry to appeal on May 21, 2000. She was escorted back and detained in the Education Committee Guest House. On May 24, An was given 15 days of administrative detention. An refused to sign the paperwork for her detention, and declared that she would reserve her right to appeal. Afterwards, she was sent to the Lubei Administrative Detention Center. On May 25, the second day of her detention, An was cuffed with a special type of handcuff nicknamed "bull's nose," for refusing to copy the rules of the detention center. To protest the ill treatments against her, An began a hunger strike. On June 6, 2000, An lost consciousness. She was unable to get up, and she suffered incontinence of feces and urine. The detention center gave her an emergency infusion, which had no effect. At 10pm, An was sent to the County Hospital. At 7:30am of June 11, 2000, An left this world. MedienberichtBEIJING (Reuters) - A member of the banned Falun Gong spiritual group died in police custody after officers tried to end a hunger strike by force-feeding, a Hong Kong-based human rights group said on Thursday. The death of An Xiukun in Hengshui, a city in the northern province of Hebei, took to 25 the number of Falun Gong members who have died in custody since China banned the group last year, the Information Centre for Human Rights and Democracy said. It said in a statement that An, 50, was detained on June 6 in Beijing's Tiananmen Square, where handfuls of Falun Gong members have protested almost daily since the government banned the group in July last year. The primary school teacher was taken to a detention center in Hengshui, where she began a hunger strike after her feet were bound with iron shackles, the center said. She died of suffocation as police tried to force her to eat after six days, it said. Her husband Zhang Qizheng was sentenced to three years labor reform, which does not require a trial, after he repeatedly demanded punishment for those responsible for his wife's death as well as compensation, the center added. Police at the Hengshui detention center denied any knowledge of the death. Staff at An's school said she had died recently but declined to give further details. 4. Fall: Frau GONG Baohua (Peking)
On June 17, 2000, she went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong and was intercepted by police at the Dongzhimen Bus Station, along with seven other Falun Gong practitioners. After taken back to the local police station, six of them were brutally beaten by police. Among them, Gong suffered the most. Medical examination in the Yukou Clinic afterwards showed that the bridge of her nose was broken. Gong's family members and local villagers requested the police to allow her to go home for recovery. In order to cover up the brutality, the police sent Gong and the other practitioners to the county detention center instead. To defend their rights, Gong and other practitioners went on a hunger strike, which were the only means available. Around 8pm of June 25, 2000, the guards force-fed Gong through the nose, despite the fact that her nose was injured. After coming back to the cell, Gong's face looked pale. She said repeatedly that her chest felt numb and she suspected that the guards might have falsely inserted the feeding tube into her trachea during the force-feeding. About 10 minutes later, she suddenly lost consciousness. Her inmates then called the guards, but nobody answered. After a while when Gong regained her consciousness, the guards finally came over and moved Gong out of the cell for emergency treatment. She was sent back on the morning of June 26, 2000. Because her health condition looked very bad, her inmates asked the guards many times to give her a medical examination. She was then called out, and came back in the afternoon. But there was no sign of improvement in her health that night. On the morning of June 27, 2000, the inmates urged the guards to give her another medical checkup, because her health kept deteriorating. Around 10am, the detention center clinicians agreed to send Gong to the hospital. Around 9pm that evening, Gong Baohua was announced dead in the hospital. |
