Mr. Yuan Rong and Mr. Chen Kaiming Persecuted in Wangling Prison, Hunan Province

Guards in the Sixth Ward of Wangling Prison in You County, Hunan Province, used torture in attempts to "transform¹" imprisoned practitioners. The following are details about practitioners Mr. Yuan Rong and Mr. Chen Kaiming.

On September 27th, 2008, at around 10:00 a.m., Mr. Yuan Rong, to protest how he was being abused, refused to squat (forced squatting for extended periods is a common torture). Zhou Weihe, political instructor from the Sixth Ward, fiercely kicked Mr. Yuan in the legs and the abdomen while others watched. Afterward, Zhou ordered four guards to hold Mr. Yuan down on the ground and handcuff him to a tree. An hour later they released him and then handcuffed him in an office.

Between 6:00 and 7:00 p.m., Zhou Weihe ordered two guards to hold Mr. Yuan down while he shocked him with an electric baton for more than half an hour. He continued shocking Mr. Yuan until the baton ran out of power.

Mr. Yuan was finally released from handcuffs at 10:30 p.m. By then, he had been handcuffed for more than ten hours without food or being allowed to use the toilet.

In November 2008, under Zhou Weihe's orders, four guards handcuffed Mr. Chen Kaiming behind his back and took him to an office. They forced him down on the floor and shocked him with several electric batons for more than half an hour while trying to get him to acknowledge "guilt" for practising Falun Gong.
