(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Bao Siqin-Gaowa, an ethnic Mongolian, is 34 years old. She started practicing Falun Gong during her sophomore year studying in the Physics Department at Heilongjiang University. Two years later, in 1999, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched the nationwide persecution of Falun Gong. She went to Beijing to appeal and was expelled from the university. Ever since she returned home to the Baokang Township of Tongliao City in Inner Mongolia, the local 610 Office has never stopped monitoring and harassing her. During a ten-year period, she was sent to forced labor camps twice and a brainwashing center and was illegally detained. The torture that Ms. Bao was subjected to during her detention in Tumuji Forced Labor Camp from 2007 to 2010 resulted in her becoming paralyzed. She still cannot walk as of this writing.
On the morning of June 3, 2007, police from Ms. Bao's hometown broke into her temporary dwelling in Jilin City, Jilin Province, that she had rented after leaving home to avoid persecution. The police officers included Yin Wei, the head of the 610 Office of the Baokang Police Department, and others from the Tongliao City Police Department. They took Ms. Bao back and illegally detained her in the Baokang Detention Center, then took her to Tumuji Forced Labor Camp the next morning.
On June 5, the authorities took her to the labor camp hospital for an extended period of torture. Ms. Bao refused to get out of the vehicle when they arrived at the hospital. Guard Hu Bo forced her out and dragged her up the stairs to the second floor as Ms. Bao shouted, "Stop persecuting Falun Gong!" The driver, Guan Yongli, kicked Ms. Bao, with the last kick landing on her jaw, which bled profusely.
The authorities conducted a month-long intense "transformation" procedure on Ms. Bao. More than 20 female guards worked on try to "transform" her. They force-fed her, made her stand for long periods, slapped her face, deprived her of sleep, otherwise physically assaulted her, and threatened to send her to prison.
Ms. Bao was taken to the fourth floor of the women's section of the forced labor camp, where she wasfurther ill-treated, from December 12 to 27, 2007. Guards Zhai Qiuhua and Ma Hongyun conducted the torture. They extended the lengths of time they deprived her of sleep and forced her to stand, with the longest time being 36 hours. They slapped her face with flyswatters, causing her skin to peel. The face slapping continued until she started having heart problems.
At lunchtime on December 17, guard Yin Guijuan suddenly grabbed Ms. Bao's hair and dragged her out of the dining hall, then ordered two inmates to carry her downstairs. Ms. Bao resisted and requested a meeting with division head Jia Mei. When she did not receive a response, she protested by conducting a hunger strike for seven days.
On December 25, 2007, guard Yin Guijuan struck Ms. Bao in the face dozens of times in the dining hall after lunch. She then had Ms. Bao carried to the second floor and kicked her left thigh three times. Ms. Bao kept shouting, "Falun Dafa is good" during the ordeal. In an attempt to stop her from shouting, Yin Guijuan tore off several strips from a dirty mop and stuffed them into her mouth. The blows to her face made eyes bleed and her face swell for several days. Her leg was injured so badly that she could not turn over in bed without pain for over a month.
On December 27, 2009, the labor camp authorities once again detained Ms. Bao on the fourth floor for intense "transformation" sessions. They brought in other inmates and so-called "experts" from out of town to conduct the "transformation," which was not successful. They had to return her to her regular team. She was finally released in June 2010. But due to the long-term torture at the forced labor camp, she is unable to walk.
Ms. Bao was originally a bright university student, but now she is paralyzed as a result of brutal torture by the Baokang Police Department. Those that have participated in persecuting her include Bai Yuhua, Xiao Zhong, Heba Genna, Yu Qinglin, and Yin Wei from the Baokang Police Department.
Due to the fact that the Baokang Police Department confiscated her ID, Ms. Bao has not been able to look for a job. Her total financial losses are estimated at more than 100,000 yuan (USD $15,000), a huge sum in China.
