A shot panning from Yu Ming to Hu Guojian in his hospital bed.

此鏡頭爲法輪功學員于溟於2017年在本溪監獄醫院所偷拍。爲証實鏡頭的真實時,于溟先拍了自己的臉,然後才將鏡頭轉向已經被迫害植物人的法輪功學員胡國艦。

Hu Guojian, a 45 year-old Falun Gong practitioner from Fushun City in northeastern China’s Liaoning Province was arrested on July 7, 2015, five years after he was released from a ten-year imprisonment. This time he was sentenced to four years in prison.

胡國艦此次於2015年7月7日被捕,被判刑四年,之前他已經被關押十年。

On May 4, 2016, Hu was transferred to Benxi Prison, where he was subject to hard labor, sleep deprivation, and lack of food. When his wife visited him 19 days later on, she was alarmed to find that he had lost one-third of his weight, from more than 200 pounds to less than 110 pounds.

胡國艦此次入獄僅22天就被迫害成植物人。他於2018年5月15日淩晨去世。他的屍體至今仍在冷庫保存,因爲他的傢屬仍然想爲他尋求公義。(他的故事在這裏。文章中所用圖片是從于溟偷拍視頻中截取的:http://bit.ly/2WfGpkp)

On May 26, Hu was taken to the washroom by inmate-in-charge Wang Xingang, and inmates Yuan Dejia and Yu Changlong. They stripped off Hu’s clothing, poured icy cold water on top of his head repeatedly, then forced him to sit on a small bench and did not allow him to sleep.

At about 10:00 pm, Hu lost consciousness and fell to the ground. The inmates kicked his head and berated him harshly.

When this did not revive him, he was rushed to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with a severe brain hemorrhage that required neurosurgery.

Hu lapsed into a coma, only 22 days after his transfer to Benxi Prison. He never regained consciousness.

After eight months in the hospital, despite his vegetative state, Hu was discharged and taken back to the prison to finish his term.

It was at this stage when Yu was able to secretly shoot some footage of Hu lying in bed in a coma.

After serving his 4-year term, Yu was released on Oct. 31, 2017. He started contacting Hu’s family and tried to seek justice for Hu.

Early morning on May 14, 2018, Hu’s family was suddenly notified by the prison authorities that Hu was in a critical condition, and had been sent back to Benxi Central Hospital.

It was already noontime when Hu’s family reached the hospital, together with Yu. Yu started to secretly shoot footage as soon as they arrived. He understood the importance of video-documenting everything.

They were angry and immediately wanted to confiscate Yu’s hidden camera. As Yu tried hard to hold on the camera, his hands started bleeding as the grabbing and holding on became too fierce. In the end he had to let go.

What the police didn’t find out though, was that Yu actually had two hidden cameras on him. The police found and took away the one clipped on his shirt; but failed to notice another one on his waist.

Hours after his family’s arrival at the hospital, Hu died, at the age of 48 years old.

To this day his body is still frozen and stored in the mortuary. His family has refused to cremate the body, believing that this should be kept as evidence to show that his death was caused by the beating in Benxi Prison. They want to seek justice.
The authorities once offered to pay Hu’s family 100,000 yuan ($14,866) to “settle” this matter and have Hu’s body cremated. But his family declined.

Yu said that Hu’s family has been suffering tremendously since Hu’s death. His mother was so upset that her cerebrovascular disease became worse, and she became paraplegic. His son is studying in university. His wife doesn’t have a full-time job, and has had a very difficult time supporting the entire family.

Hu’s mother had to be sent to a nursing home, and often wanted to commit suicide, as she didn’t want to be such a burden to Hu’s wife.
