Mr. Huang Zhufeng, 36 years old, of Daling Village, Zhenjiang Town of Gaozhou County, Maoming City, Guangdong Province. On August 2, 2001, the “610 Office”[1] in Maoming City arrested Mr. Huang Zhufeng for practicing Falun Gong, and sentenced him to two years of forced labor. The police sent him to the Sanshui Forced Labor Camp in Guangdong Province. After one month of forced brainwashing, he was sent to the “strictly supervised class” for more intense torture. There he was forced to run nonstop for 4 to 5 hours under the scorching sun until he was totally exhausted. At night he was not allowed to sleep, and was forced to squat with his hands cuffed. He was closely guarded day and night, and only allowed to go to the bathroom twice a day.

On December 21, 2002, blindfolded and handcuffed, Mr. Huang was taken in a vehicle from the fifth group of the third branch of the Sanshui Forced Labor Camp to a place used specifically for torture. Policemen Zhang Wujun, Lu Jinhu, and others surrounded him in an attempt to force him to give up practicing Falun Gong. As Mr. Huang did not give in, they shocked him with three or four electric batons simultaneously on the lips, ears, armpits, and chest. They pried opened his mouth in order to use the electric baton to shock the back of his throat. His mouth and neck became dangerously swollen, but the police continued to torture him.

The police compressed cotton fiber into a square package as high as a person in a squatting position and weighing about 10 Jin (11 lb.). The police torture practitioners by handcuffing their hands around the square package with both arms stretched, which forces the practitioner to squat down. Sometimes, the police order inmates to torture practitioners by pulling them hard, back and forth, causing the flesh at the wrists to split open, and sometimes exposing the bones. Almost every practitioner has gone through this kind of torture. [AEF2] On January 2, 2003, policeman Zhang Wujun used this torture method on Mr. Huang, and ordered two inmates to pull his arms in opposite directions using extreme force to torture him. The pain of his tendons and flesh ripping was excruciating. His arms were bloody and his skin was torn. Both his shoulders were dislocated in the process, and he was denied proper medical treatment.

On January 8, 2003, policeman Lu Jinhu gripped Mr. Huang's lips with steel pliers, tearing his skin, prying his teeth open in order to force-feed him, and then using an electric baton to shock his mouth. Later, Lu Jinhu covered Mr. Huang's head with a black cloth sack, stuffed his mouth with dirty socks, and violently jerked, rubbed, and shook his head until Mr. Huang felt dizzy, vomited, and could not move his head and neck anymore because his cervical vertebra were broken. Then the prison guards shocked Mr. Huang with four electric prods for a long time. His face became distorted, his lips swollen, and he had unbearable pain in his shoulders and neck which prevented him from being able to sleep at night. Another policeman named Zhang Wujun, ordered several inmates to join him in torturing Mr. Huang using a cruel method called “Wu Ma Fen Shi.” They handcuffed his limbs and stretched them hard in four directions simultaneously. As a result, Mr. Huang's left shoulder was broken and the ligament around it was torn apart, leaving his left arm disabled.

As a result of the torture, Mr. Huang could no longer move his hands, and his deltoid muscles had atrophied from the untreated shoulder dislocations. Only when the muscular degeneration and atrophy started to spread further down his arms did the labor camp allow him to have a physical examination. The doctors prescribed immediate surgery but could not repair the damage even with eight surgical repairs. Mr. Huang was then transferred to the Sanshui People's Hospital, but doctors there could not do anything for him. In the end police had to send him to the Foshan Chinese Medical Hospital, in Foshan City, which specialized in orthopedics. He stayed there for 7 days and spent more than 20,000 Yuan on medical expenses. He is currently housed in room 404, building A, of the Hospital of Orthopedics, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou City. The original soft tissue around the joint was completely damaged and useless so the doctors had to replace it with another material. The treatment was not successful at all. Mr. Huang can only lift his left arm to the height of his chest, and about 30 degrees away from his side. His arm remains disabled .

Mr. Huang Zhufeng has appealed to the court of Foshan City many times, but the court refuses to accept his case.
