Since the persecution started in July 1999, Falun Gong
practitioner Mr. Cheng Peiming (from Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province)
has been tortured while being detained at different places: Hengshan Detention
Center in Jixi City, Hongxing Village Police Station at Jiguan District in Jixi
City, Criminal Police Brigade of Public Security Bureau at Jiguan District, Jixi
City First Detention Center, Harbin Prison and Daqing
Prison.
From July 20, 1999 to February 2000, Cheng
Peiming was detained in Shandong
Province, Beijing, Hengshan Detention Center in Jixi City, where he suffered from severe beating.
On May 11, 2001, the police of Hongxing Village Police
Station in Jiguan District of Jixi City brutally beat up Cheng Peiming; then
they sent him to the Public Security Bureau at Jiguan District of Jixi City,
where he was subjected to torture for more than 30 hours consecutively. The
torture methods included: (1) “Make numbness” whereby four policemen used their
hands to forcefully scrub and pinch his inner thigh area and armpit area,
causing much pain. (2) Police used a belt clip and hard prongs to scratch his
ribs and nipples. While Cheng Peiming told them that their criminal deeds would
bring them retribution, the police brazenly said, “Our happiness is built up on
your pain.” (3) “Spaceship hat”: police covered his head with a plastic bag, put
a steel helmet on his head, and then hit the helmet with a hammer. The torture
caused damage to his brain. (4) “Tiger Bench”: handcuffs and shackles where put
on him to tightly tie him to a bench.
On May 13, 2001, Cheng Peiming was sent to Jixi City
First Detention Center and detained there until April 10, 2002. Once he was
locked in a confinement cell. The police incited criminals to beat him up.
Policeman Zhang Yiding used electric batons to shock him on his mouth and penis
for three days. The torture caused Cheng Peiming to lose control of his bladder,
and his skin became yellowish. He was forced to put on the heaviest shackles and
he was handcuffed. Deputy Chief Zhang Yi ordered a criminal to insert a very
stinky sock into Cheng Peiming’s mouth and to spit on his face. At another time,
a policeman and a criminal dragged him in front of a window, stripped him, and
then threw a big cat onto him. The cat’s claws ripped open his
flesh.
From April 10, 2002 to July 1, 2004 the Harbin police
were even crueler. They ordered four criminals to torture Cheng Peiming. The
criminals are: Zhang Xiaofeng, Zhang Yong, Zhang Kejun and Zhang
Jie.
On January 15, 2003 in the confinement cell, criminal
Zhang Yong stuffed Cheng Peiming’s mouth with a towel, and said, “Cheng Peiming,
if you dare enough, you will take what we will do to you. If you die, the
government will be on our side.” They used fingers to poke his eyes, squeezed
his testicles, grabbed and rubbed his ribs, kicked his heart area and back, and
hit both his ears. In the night they found that Cheng Peiming was on the verge
of death. They sent him to the hospital for emergency. The policemen Huang
Zhiming, Zhang Jiushan and Lin Bo had instructed the criminals to do the
torture.
On
July 1, 2004, Cheng Peiming was transferred to Daqing Prison. In the afternoon
of November 16, 2004, the handcuffs that Mr. Chen was hanging from broke and he
fell to the floor. At this point, Mr. Cheng could not bear the abuse and
suffering any longer. In
desperation and to protest the persecution, as soon as he stood up, he knocked
his head against the glass cell door, resulting in a 4-cm-long laceration on his
head. He then cut his wrists with the broken glass. He also tried to swallow a
razor blade and an iron nail. He then lost consciousness and fell to the
floor.
