(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Wu Yinchang, a pharmacist who worked at the Xiyuan Hospital of the Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, was born in 1966 and began cultivation practice in Falun Dafa in 1996. He was illegally sentenced to one year of detention in Tuanhe Forced Labor Camp in 2001, and was unreasonably dismissed by the Xiyuan Hospital of the Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2002. In November of 2002, Mr. Wu was once again arrested for mailing truth-clarification videos, and was sentenced to seven years of imprisonment. He was jailed in the 12th Division of Beijing's Qianjin Prison on January 8, 2004 and was then transferred to the Ninth Division. When Wu Yinchang was on trial, his father-in-law passed away under the heavy stress, and his mother-in-law was paralyzed in bed without the ability to take care of herself. All of the family burdens fell on the shoulders of his wife, who was also parenting their three-year-old son.
When Wu Yinchang was imprisoned in the 12th Division, he was locked in a "small cell" several times for his refusal to give up Falun Gong. Several inmates were assigned to monitor him. Every day his sleep was totally under the control of these monitors. When they thought he was controllable one day, they might let him sleep for three to four hours, and when they felt he was "unpleasing to the eye" on another day, they would wake him up as soon as he fell asleep. The persecutors use these methods to torture practitioners; outsiders can see no signs of abuse on the surface, but this mental torture can cause a person to suffer a mental collapse.
Mr. Wu was usually only allowed to sleep for one or two hours every day. He was often beaten and verbally abused. He was forbidden from bathing, was restricted in relieving himself and forced to sit on a board for long periods of time. He was frequently locked in the dark "small cell" for one to two months, or even longer. Due to the inhuman torture, Wu Yinchang was in poor health and became very thin and weak. But his situation never got any sympathy from the guards or the monitors. In October of 2004, Chen Jun, the political head of the 12th Division, beat Wu Yinchang so brutally that he passed out.
On August 9, 2005, because he refused to give in and renounce Falun Dafa, Wu Yinchang was transferred to the Ninth Division, which was even more vicious. The political head of the division at that time was Cao Lihua. Mr. Wu was also locked in the "small cell" frequently in the Ninth Division. From September of 2005 to April of 2006, because he was steadfast in his belief in Dafa, Mr. Wu was deprived of the privilege of monthly visits with family members and calling home. Apart from a brief one-time visit with his wife and son in April of 2006, he was consistently forbidden to visit with his wife, who is also a Falun Gong practitioner. They even posted slanderous statements about Wu Yinchang and his wife on the wall of the visitors' office.
Wu Yinchang's family members went to the Beijing Prison Management Bureau and other relevant organizations repeatedly to appeal. The Procuratorial Division of the Qinghe Police Department and the Procuratorial Section of the Qianjin Prison denied their abuse of Wu Yinchang and claimed that it was Wu Yinchang who beat others. Furthermore, the policemen from the Police Department in the Haidian District of Beijing kept harassing Mr. Wu's wife, threatening: "All the materials about you are in our hands...". Wu Yinchang has a very good reputation at his workplace and among his relatives and neighbors. The defamatory statement from the prison management organizations enraged many of his friends and relatives, including his relatives abroad.
After his family members' persistent appeals to the Prison Management Bureau, the Qianjin Prison had to allow for Wu Yinchang's monthly visit from his family members. Nevertheless, the prison authorities still created great difficulties for Wu Yinchang. They blocked the scheduled visits many times, and forbade the visit until all the other visits were over; the excuse being they were showing "concern for his family members." After the visit the shuttle bus taking the visiting family members home was no longer available (the Qianjin Prison is in the suburb of Tianjin and far away from Beijing ), so the family members had to return to Beijing at their own expense. In addition, the guards stood close to Wu Yinchang and his family members during the visit, monitoring their conversation.
From June to July of 2006, with all four of his limbs shackled, Mr. Wu was forced to sit on the concrete ground continuously without sleeping for over 10 days. On the following several days he could only sleep for a little while and was beaten and cursed by the monitors frequently. He also had to ask for permission when he needed to relieve himself. After those 10 days, his wrists and ankles were all bruised and his buttocks were blistered from sitting. Every time the family members visited him they saw new injuries on his body from beatings by the monitors. Sometimes they saw him trembling during the visit, and sometimes they found him unable to walk. Whenever the talk touched upon the persecution, the guard on duty would immediately stop them. When the family members went to question the political head of the Ninth Division, the reply was: "It is not wrong to treat him like that. It is all due to his stubbornness..."
We hope that Dafa disciples all around the world can concentrate their righteous thoughts with high force to eliminate the evil here, and also use other means to clarify the truth on a large scale to the higher levels of management organizations at Qianjin Prison. This includes the guards of the prison, as well as the criminal inmates. At the same time we can try our best to pass on encouraging news and strength to the Dafa disciples inside the prisons so as to help them think and act righteously and have the evil persecution stop sooner.
Note: Recently, Cao Lihua is no longer the political head of the Ninth Division of the Qianjin Prison. The surname of the successor is Liu, who might be the former deputy political head Liu Guanghui.
