Camp Official “Accomplished” in Torturing Falun Gong Practitioners is Promoted
(FDI)Mr. Lu Bingshen, 39-years-old, was a firefighter with the 6th Fire Brigade in Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province. In mid-October 2003, Lu was tortured to death in Daqing City Forced Labor Camp at the hands of the Camp’s Assistant Brigade Leader, Mr. Zhang Mingzhu.
Lu lived in the Caikulou area, Ranghulu District of Daqing City. In October 2002, the police abducted Lu while he was posting flyers on the street that exposed the persecution of Falun Gong in China. Lu was then sentenced to two years in prison for posting the flyers.
According to sources in China, on or about October 15, 2003, Zhang locked Lu in a small room with no windows and tortured him to death.
Lu was the 21st Falun Gong practitioner to be killed at the Daqing City Forced Labor Camp.
Sources say that Zhang was considered highly “accomplished” in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners, and therefore, was promoted to Assistant Brigade Leader of Daqing City Forced Labor Camp.
According to reports from China, Zhang had killed at least one other Falun Gong practitioner before Lu. Zhang was reportedly one of the disciplinary guards directly responsible for the death of Mr. He Huajiang — a Falun Gong practitioner and Daqing Oil Refinery employee who was tortured to death in the Camp on Dec. 23, 2002.
Daqing City Forced Labor Camp is currently sealing all records pertaining to Mr. Lu’s death, and Camp authorities are reporting Lu’s death as a “heart attack.”
