Xiao Jinsong 02.24.2002
XIAO Jinsong was illegally sent to a Shuangxiling Forced Labor Camp in Jilin City in October 2000 for going to Beijing to appeal on behalf of Falun Gong.
On March 27, 2001, he was transferred to the Yinmahe Forced Labor Camp in Jiutai. Because he refused to renounce Falun Gong and went on a hunger strike to protest his mistreatment, camp guards tortured him until he was near death.
When XIAO 's wife came to the hospital, he was in a coma, and both eyes were sunken. She saw that he was very skinny and that his stomach and groin were terribly swollen.
XIAO was hospitalized for ten days without any sign of improvement. His family spent almost ten thousand yuan and had to take him home on January 18, 2002. He died on February 24, 2002.
Before he passed away, XIAO told his sister that many guards hit and shocked him with electric batons simultaneously. They pelted him with blows from the batons, which XIAO said rained down on him rapidly and heavily.
