Torture Methods Used in Jilin Prison: Knockout Drugs and Rape

Facebook Logo LinkedIn Logo Twitter Logo Email Logo Pinterest Logo

Guards at Jilin Prison ordered inmates to dope Falun Gong practitioner Zhang Wenfeng with knockout drugs and rape him. This practice has continued for more than a year. The inmates claim, "These are all prison management's ideas."

On the evening of April 17th, 2008, while Zhang Wenfeng was jailed in Room 509, Ward 3, Division 3, inmates put a knockout drug in Zhang's food. When he awoke the next morning, he found a thick liquid oozing from his anus and had a sore neck. He suspected that inmates Xie Guochen and Zhang Hui had doped him the previous evening, beat him and raped him. He had overheard Xie Guochen and Zhang Hui say, "If he's not obedient, we will dope and rape him," and "Over-dope him and let him die." Zhang Wenfeng reported this to prison guard Chai Hongjun, and requested an investigation. After that, Xie Guochen told Zhang Hui, "If I am asked, I will tell them that you ordered me to dope him." However, the guard Chai Hongjun did not respond to Mr. Zhang's report. On the contrary, he put Zhang Wenfeng under strict discipline for one and half months after Zhang requested that guards stop persecuting another Falun Gong practitioner, Shi Wenzhuo.

One morning in September 2008, Zhang Wenfeng had a headache and felt weak after he awoke, and found that there was a needle hole on the right side of his lower back. Mr. Zhang suspected that he had been injected by other inmates while sleeping, and reported the incident to Chai Hongjun right away. He requested a physical exam at the prison hospital. The following day, Chai took Mr. Zhang to the hospital. The doctor just looked at him and said, "It's not a needle hole." Mr. Zhang requested a physical exam but was refused. On September 23rd, Chai Hongjun persecuted Zhang Wenfeng again with strict discipline.

Zhang Wenfeng disclosed this incident to the Legal Department and related organisations, and asked that those responsible be brought to justice.

After their crimes were thus exposed, the guards of Jilin Prison retaliated by intentionally allowing or even ordering inmates to persecute Zhang Wenfeng. In 2009, Zhang Wenfeng was transferred to Ward 3 of Division 9. Inmates, including Xu Bo, Huang Bin, Du Wei, Yang Changshun, and Tan Changxin use an anaesthetic or knockout medicine to make Zhang Wenfeng temporarily lose awareness and raped him many times. They even sold this "service" to other inmates in exchange for money or goods. A inmate, Li Yuanhu, in the same room was gay and had STD. They infected Zhang with STD. The other inmates made up rumours and claimed Zhang Wenfeng was gay.

These criminals often put in drugs in Zhang Wenfeng's food, including Ecstasy, such that he felt neck stress, headache, sore throat, and sexual excitation.

Zhang Wenfeng claimed that he was a determined Falun Gong practitioner and would never sign any guarantee letter to give up his belief in Falun Gong. The intention of the persecution was to disappoint his family members and fellow practitioners, such that he would be isolated and nobody would pay attention to him any more. Then, they could force him to commit suicide or even murder him in order to cover up their persecution. Zhang Wenfeng stated that he will not commit suicide. If he dies, he must have been murdered by the guard and inmates.

One important issue needs to be noted: an inmate, Xie Guochen, from Ward 3, Division 3, told Zhang Wenfeng, "All the ways that we treat you, are all the prison management's ideas."

Based on the above facts, we understand that the people responsible for persecuting Falun Gong practitioner Zhang Wenfeng include Warden Wang Kun, ex-Political Commissioner Liu Wei, the guards, inmates Xu Bo, Huang Bin, Du Wei, Yang Changshun, Tan Changxin, and Li Yuanhu.
