在天津滨海监狱绝食抗议近三年　周向阳身体非常虚弱 Imprisoned Man on Hunger Strike for More than 3.5 Years to Protest Against Persecution of His Faith

天津法轮功学员周向阳在二零一五年三月二日被绑架后，于二零一六年十二月又被冤判七年，后被劫持到天津市滨海监狱原五监区二分监区（现六监区），一直绝食抵制迫害。请国内外善良正义人士关注周向阳的情况。

一开始，狱警安排六个包夹人（监狱安排的专门负责看管法轮功学员的刑事罪犯人）白天晚上轮流看管周向阳，每天包夹人用担架抬着周向阳去监狱的医院灌食三次。据包夹人说：“有一次给周向阳灌食，包夹人按着他的胳膊和双腿，监狱医院的人强行把胃管从周向阳的嘴里插进去，灌完食之后，周向阳自己把胃管拔出来，管子上面沾满了鲜血。”

 

 

一段时间之后，由四个包夹人看管周向阳，再之后由两个包夹人看管周向阳。周向阳一直绝食抵制迫害至今，现在的周向阳非常苍老、虚弱，每天由包夹人推着轮椅去监狱的医院给他灌食。

 

 

周向阳从小就很善良，被别人欺负从不抱怨；从北方交通大学毕业后，分配到天津铁道第三勘探设计院工经处，因工作出色，单位送他到天津大学，又获得投资经济学位；一九九八年考取了全国首批造价工程师职业资格，成为当时全国仅有的六十位造价工程师之一。在法轮大法真、善、忍法理的指导下，他工作兢兢业业，从来不要客户私下给的好处，成为一位世风日下的社会中卓然独立的好青年。

 

 

因为修炼法轮功，周向阳被中共警察绑架、非法判刑九年，先后被非法关押在天津铁路看守所、天津青泊洼劳教所、天津双口劳教所、天津蓟县渔山劳教所、天津河西看守所；二零零三年五月三十一日被非法判刑九年，期间遭受无数酷刑：被彻夜电击至遍体鳞伤、连续三十天熬夜、多次关小号、野蛮灌食等等。二零零八年六月底，周向阳为抵制迫害，在港北监狱绝食一年多，体重只剩八十多斤，身体虚弱无法行走，大小便不能自理，直至二零零九年七月二十八日保外就医，二零一一年三月五日，周向阳在唐山的租住房内再遭绑架，劫持回监狱。

 

 

妻子李珊珊因坚持为丈夫申冤，曾遭到监狱的报复，两次被非法劳教共计三年多。二零一三年劳教制度解体了，李珊珊是从石家庄女子劳教所走出来的最后一个。

 

 

一家人团聚的日子没有多久。二零一五年三月二日早晨七点，天津警察再一次破门而入，把周向阳和妻子李珊珊抓走了。周向阳被冤判七年，李珊珊被冤判六年。

 

 

滨海监狱长期绝食抗议迫害的法轮功学员有周向阳、马健、滑连有、刘海滨，其中马健已经绝食抗议四年，滑连有、刘海滨绝食抗议两年，因为身体出现状况几次被送往康宁监狱（原新生医院）和社会医院住院，其中刘海滨因“胃部和心包积液”等问题被送到社会医院就诊时，医生因为害怕出现生命危险不敢下胃镜检查、治疗，又送回监狱。

 

 

天津市滨海监狱于二零一七年十一月二十八日搬迁新监狱。原来老监狱由于五监区关押法轮功学员居多，分为五监区一分监区和五监区二分监区，两个监区都有法轮功学员，搬到新监狱之后，原来的五监区二分监区与其它监区合并是现在的六监区，五监区一分监区与其它监区合并是现在的五监区，新监狱的五监区和六监区关押法轮功学员居多。

Mr. Zhou Xiangyang has been on a hunger strike for more than 3.5 years since his arrest in March 2015 for practicing Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline persecuted by the communist regime since 1999.

 

 

He was sentenced to seven years in prison in December 2016 and is serving his term at Binhai Prison in Tianjin, where he is wheeled to the prison hospital to be force-fed every day.

 

 

The long term hunger strike and physical torment from force feeding have left this 45-year-old man debilitated and shattered.

Husband and Wife Separated for Ten Years Trying to Rescue Each Other

 

 

Mr. Zhou was one of the first modern cost engineers in China and had a promising career at the Tianjin Third Railway Exploration and Design Institute. His aspirations, however, were crushed when the communist regime launched the nationwide persecution of Falun Gong in 1999 that left him imprisoned during his prime years for refusing to renounce his faith.

 

 

Prior to his 2016 sentence, Mr. Zhou had served nine years in prison for his faith and was subjected to barbaric torture, including electric shock, sleep deprivation, and beatings. By the time he was released on medical parole in 2009, he was only 90 lbs, incontinent, and unable to walk.

 

 

While he was imprisoned, his fiancée, Ms. Li Shanshan, worked tirelessly to rescue him, but ended up becoming the police's target herself.

 

 

The young couple finally got married in 2009 after decade long separation. They didn't enjoy their days together for too long before both of them were seized by police on March 5, 2011. They spent the next two years apart, trying to rescue each other from imprisonment.

 

 

Their ordeal continued when the police arrested both of them again on the morning of March 2, 2015, barely two years after their reunion.

 

 

This time, Mr. Zhou was given seven years and Ms. Li, six years. Their appeals were soon rejected by the intermediate court and they began to serve their terms separately at Binhai Prison and Tianjin Women's Prison since early 2017.
