Zhang Changming 03.02.2003

ZHANG Changming, male, 50 years old, was an employee at the Xinjian Coal Mine in Qitaihe City, Heilongjiang Province. ZHANG died on March 2, 2003 from torture suffered in the Jiamusi Forced Labor Camp.

In December 1999, ZHANG was illegally sentenced to a 3-year term at a forced labor camp. Although he escaped from the detention center on November 3, 2000, he was eventually found and brought back, where he again suffered repeated torture including solitary confinement and intense beatings.

On February 28, 2003, ZHANG was stabbed in his head and body with screwdrivers by YANG Chunming, supervisor, and YANG Wenbing, police officer, until ZHANG had internal bleeding, large bruises, and vomited blood. He was refused treatment at the hospital, so on March 2, 2003 he was brought home.

That night, he passed away. His entire back was blue, his legs shrunken, and his chest, jaw, and right hand were covered in large bruises. His family remains under surveillance.
