In July 1999, the Chinese regime began to persecute Falun Gong
practitioners. Ms. Deng was repeatedly arrested and was fired from her job. Her
husband was forced to divorce her. On May 30, 2001, she was forced to leave home
to avoid further persecution.
On November 1, 2002, Ms. Deng was arrested
and sent to the Daqing City Detention Center. On January 27, 2003, the Ranghulu
District Court sentenced her to seven years in prison. In the summer of 2003 she
was transferred to the Ninth Division of the Harbin Women's Prison in Harbin
City, Heilongjiang Province, where she was tortured and forced to do heavy
labor.
On February 9, 2004, Ms. Deng and 40 other practitioners were
tortured by guards Yan Yuhua and Zhang Xiuli and others. Deng and others were
beaten, handcuffed with their hands behind their backs, forced to stand in the
freezing cold, and locked in solitary confinement cells. They went on a hunger
strike to protest the torture, and were then force-fed.
In March 2004,
because Ms. Deng refused to be brainwashed, she was force-fed and beaten on her
private areas. Her two lower front teeth were knocked out during force-feeding.
Inmates pinched her eyelids with tweezers. After her eyelids began to bleed, the
inmates sprayed her eyes with detergent.
On March 21, 2005, Zhao
Yingling and Zhao Huihua, the head and deputy head of the prison hospital, led
more than ten guards and more than 20 inmates to pin down the practitioners,
including Ms. Deng, and withdraw their blood. They claimed to be performing
"tests" on the practitioners. Afterward, Ms. Deng was suffered a heart attack
and her body trembled uncontrollably. Her family requested medical parole but
the authorities denied their requests. She was transferred to the Eighth
Division in September 2005 and continues to be persecuted.
We are very
concerned about Ms. Deng’s life and hereby request an urgent action by the
United Nations to safeguard the life of Ms. Deng. |
