Wang Lixin 02.07.2001

WANG Lixin, male, 32 years old, lived in Jilin City. WANG Lixin was arrested by police in November 2000 because he made 100 copies of Falun Gong materials.

While being held in the No. 5 prison cell of Jilin City’s No. 3 Detention Center, WANG went on a hunger strike to protest the persecution. After two days of not eating, he was sent to the No. 6 cell where FENG Naiwu, the head of the cell, led inmates to torture him. FENG claimed that guard named YANG has given the order to beat WANG and use inhumane methods to force-feed him. WANG’s mouth filled with blood as a result, causing him to suffocate and lose consciousness.

FENG also made sure WANG was not allowed to sleep. An inmate named ZHANG Qun kept WANG awake by punching and kicking his ribs and feet, and making him a target for boxing practice. On the fifth day of WANG’s hunger strike, the guard named YANG and another guard named ZHANG took him, with handcuffs on his wrists and ankles, into the office and force-fed him with 250 grams of highly concentrated salt water. WANG was unable to sleep for several nights as a result of this torture. On the afternoon of the seventh day of his hunger strike, WANG became very weak and delirious. Inmates, including FENG Naiwu and ZHANG Qun, took turns beating him. Guards YANG and ZHANG then ordered the inmates to bring him into the office. WANG’s screams of pain could be heard through the prison. After more than half an hour, they sent WANG back to the No. 6 prison cell. WANG had both hands tied behind his back, and there was a white towel tied across his mouth. He could only make muffled sounds.
On the eighth day of his hunger strike, WANG was sent to the hospital. He died two days later.

Both the AFP and the Asian Free Radio reported WANG’s case on February 7, 2001.
