Yang Guijun 10..2002
YANG Guiqin, female, 43 years old, lived in Changchun, Jilin Province.
YANG Guijun, female, 47 years old, lived in Liaoyuan City. (See YANG Guiqin below.)
YANG Guijun had been on the police’s wanted list for practicing Falun Gong. On March 12, 2002, Liaoyuan City Communist Party Secretary ZHAO Zhenqi led more than forty police, including the head of Liaoyuan City Police Department, in surrounding a Falun Gong material production site. They arrested fifteen practitioners, including YANG Guijun and her sister YANG Guiqin.
The Liaoyuan City Secondary People’s Court illegally gave all fifteen practitioners heavy sentences. Guijun and Guiqin received thirteen- and fourteen-year sentences, respectively, in Jilin Province Female Prison. Guiqin was tortured to death after being in prison for two months. Seven months later, YANG Guijun was also tortured to death there.
Investigations revealed that the women were subjected to horrible torture by the city police. They were forced to sit on the “Tiger Bench,” shocked with electric batons, hung up by handcuffs, had their feet burned with cigarettes, and subjected to “needling.” The “Tiger Bench” is a small iron bench approximately 20 cm (6 inches) tall. Victims’ knees are tied down tightly onto this bench, and their hands are tied back or on the knees. They have to sit straight up, looking straight ahead. Usually, hard objects are inserted beneath their lower legs or ankles to increase the pain. In “needling,” the torturers use very thin needles to piece the practitioners’ fingertips, toe tips, and neck. The needles leave no marks or traces of blood on the skin, but the piercing causes excrutiating pain.
