MedienberichtJuly 27, 2000 BEIJING (AP) -- Police forcibly fed a hunger striker protesting the crackdown on the Falun Gong spiritual group, causing the woman to choke to death, a Hong Kong-based human rights group said Thursday.
5. Fall: Herr WANG Peisheng (Provinz Shandong)Wang was a retired official of Weifang Hardware Store. Wang started to practice Falun Gong in 1995, and was a former contact person of the Falun Gong assistance center in Weifang. He had been under surveillance since July 20, 1999. In March 2000, he was detained for writing to the National People's Congress about Falun Gong issues. While in custody, he was detained in the hot and humid cell 24 hours a day, and sometimes, he was forced to do hard labor. At 2am on July 12, 2000, he left this world. His wife did not receive the notice of his death until 1pm that afternoon. More surprisingly, in order to cover up the truth, the police forced his family to have his body cremated before the cause of his death was identified. Medienbericht: Washington Post (EDITORIAL) - China's Falun Gong ObsessionEDITORIAL, Tuesday, August 1, 2000; Page A22 IT HAS NOW been just over a year since the government of China began its effort to stamp out the nonviolent spiritual movement known as Falun Gong. Thousands of Chinese followers of the group have been subjected to surveillance, harassment, arrest, torture and, in some two dozen cases, death. The two most recent Falun Gong members to perish in police custody were 44-year-old Li Zaiji and 68-year-old Wang Peisheng, according to the Hong Kong-based Information Center for Human Rights and Democracy. They both died in the first two weeks of July. Falun Gong adherents nevertheless marked the anniversary of the government crackdown by raising banners and otherwise protesting peacefully in Beijing's Tiananmen Square. Few visitors to the vast square even noticed, because police immediately seized the protesters and hauled them to jail. Hundreds are said to have been detained. The Communist government portrays its battle against Falun Gong as an effort to protect China from an evil cult bent on destabilizing society. In fact, the authorities are reacting out of instinctive hostility to the growth of an independent organization that appears capable of offering Chinese a spiritual alternative--however obscure--to official ideology. Yet for all its determination to deny Falun Gong practitioners their right to the free exercise of their beliefs, Beijing has been unable in a year to restore the monochromatic ideological climate its rulers require. The effort to destroy Falun Gong will be a "long-lasting, complicated and acute struggle," a July 20 editorial in the official People's Daily conceded. This backhanded compliment to the undeniable courage and tenacity of Falun Gong's adherents was also, alas, probably a threat of even greater official violence to come. © 2000 The Washington Post Company 6. Fall: Herr LI Zaiji (Provinz Jilin)Li was sentenced to one year of forced labor in October of 1999 for appealing for Falun Gong. On July 7, 2000, the police department of Jilin City told Li's family members to go to the hospital to take care of him. When Li's mother got to the hospital, Li was already dead. Li's body was full of wounds, with one eye open and one closed. At 9am on July 14, Li's body was cremated under the close monitoring of more than 200 police officers. Zeugerbericht aus China: Death of Falun Dafa Practitioner Mr. Li Zaiji Leaves His Son and Wife in Dire Circumstances Li Xin is the son of Li Zaiji and Zu Chunrong. He is 21 years old, and currently resides at No.10 building, Qingdao Street Township, Chuanying District, Jilin City, Zip 132012, under the jurisdiction of the Qingdao Police Station of Chuanying District in Jilin City. +86-432-2021537 Li Xin's mother, Zu Chunrong, resides at the same address. She is over 40 and has not been able to find steady employment. Li Xin's father, Li Zaiji, was killed at the Huanxiling Forced Labor Camp in Jilin City on July 8, 2000, at the age of 43. He lived at the same address and worked in the Isolation Hospital in Jilin City. On September 5, 1999 Li Zaiji went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. He was arrested in Miyun County and then detained for 15 days by the Jilin City Detention Center. Later, he was transferred to Shahezi Brainwashing Class in Chuanying District. He was detained for an additional 15 days and then transferred to the No.3 Detention Center of Jilin City. In October 1999 he was illegally sentenced to forced labor for one year and detained in Huanxiling Labor Camp in Jilin City. In July 2000, he was killed at the labor camp. In 1995 Li Zaiji began practicing Falun Dafa in order to improve his poor health. He retired from his work at Jilin City Isolation Hospital due to an injury suffered on the job. The amazing healing effects of Falun Dafa restored his health, and he firmly stepped onto the path of cultivation. His home was the first site for Fa (principles of Falun Gong) study in his area. Usually the number of practitioners studying the Fa at his home was about 50 or 60, sometime up to 100. Falun Dafa practitioners who lived far away also liked to go to his home for Fa study and experience sharing. Li Zaiji was very kind-hearted. He always helped those in need. All his neighbors and coworkers knew he was a good person. On July 19, 1999 when he and other practitioners heard the news that Falun Dafa suffered injustice, he and eight other practitioners hired two cars at 2:00am, and drove 1200 kilometers (about 745 miles) to Beijing. They encountered various obstacles on their way, but finally arrived in Beijing to appeal on July 21, 1999, after which they safely returned home On September 5, 1999, he and Falun Dafa practitioners Cui Zhengshu, Yu Lixin (these two practitioners were also killed) and another practitioner went to Beijing to appeal again. On September 10, 1999 he was arrested in Miyun County of Beijing, detained in Jilin City Detention Center for 15 days, and then transferred to Shahezi Brainwashing Class in Chuanying District. Afterwards, he was once again detained for 15 days, and then held in criminal detention in the No 3 Detention Center of Jilin City. In the detention center, because he was determined in his belief, he suffered various tortures from prisoners, such as being doused with cold water in the winter and having his beard pulled. In October 1999 he was illegally sentenced to forced labor and detained in Huanxiling Labor Camp in Jilin City. In the No.4 team of Huanxiling Forced Labor Camp, Li Zaiji suffered various tortures from prisoners and physical punishment and brainwashing from police, and he was also forced to do heavy labor. In July 2000, Li Zaiji suffered serious dehydration from dysentery. The labor camp would not provide any treatment, which made his condition worse. The prison doctor whose last name was Li was trained as a veterinarian, and had no human medical background. Seeing Li Zaiji in critical condition, Li instigated several prisoners to drag Li Zaiji to the wash-house and force-feed him with a lot of concentrated salt water. At that time Li Zaiji struggled and everyone in the team heard a flopping sound inside the wash-house. Suddenly the sound stopped. Everyone saw several police officers run into the wash-house. They wrapped Li Zaiji in a blanket and took him away, claiming that he would be sent to the hospital for rescue, when he was actually already dead. In order to avoid the legal investigation by Li Zaiji's family, Huanxiling Labor Camp of Jilin City made a public announcement that they had relieved the prison doctor Li from his post. This was meant to deceive the public, as Li wasn't relieved from his post at all, but was transferred to another position in the labor camp. After the incident was over, Li was back at his post and was promoted to become the director of the clinic office in the labor camp. Huanxiling Labor Camp of Jilin City was afraid that the incident would be exposed to the public, so the authorities from the labor camp went to see Li Zaiji's wife Zu Chunrong. By offering a bribe of a 3000-yuan subsidy for Li Zaiji's family, which was in financial difficulties, they gained Zu Churong's signature by telling her that the labor camp was not responsible for Li Zaiji's death. Huanxiling labor camp coordinated with Jilin City Public Security Bureau to deceive Li Zaiji's family. On July 7, 2000 Jilin City Public Security Bureau informed Li Zaiji's family to go to the hospital to care for him. Li Zaiji's 17-year-old son first went to Jilin Chinese-Western Combined Hospital. He searched all the rooms for his father but couldn't find him, and finally asked the police: "Where is my father?" The police led the child to a warehouse, where he found his father's body covered in newspaper. Afterwards, Li Zaiji's mother was led around the hospital. She found that Li Zaiji was dead, with one eye open and another closed. She closed her son's eye with her hand. In the evening, Li Zaiji's wife requested to see his remains, but the public security personnel refused. After she requested again and again, she was finally allowed to see her husband's remains and found that there was still gauze under his eyes. Li Zaiji's wife made only one request: to permit Falun Gong practitioners to pay their last respects. The public security personnel denied this request, and Li Zaiji's family was put under house arrest. On July 13, before the cremation, Jilin City Public Security Bureau and many police stations detained some Falun Dafa practitioners for no reason. At 9:00am on Friday, with the tight watch of over two hundred personnel from the labor camp and Public Security Bureau, Li Zaiji's remains were cremated. After Li Zaiji's death, Zu Chunrong was forced to raise their son alone. She has no regular income, and only earns enough to survive by doing odd jobs as a street cleaner and dishwasher. Li Xin was forced to drop out of school. |
