新华网武汉12月27日电（田雨）2004年8月19日，邪教“法轮功”的互联网站“明慧网”刊登一篇文章，标题为：《湖北沙洋范家台监狱对廖元华的非人折磨》。
不到半个月的时间，“明慧网”又于9月2日刊登《湖北大法弟子廖元华在范家台监狱所受酷刑示范（图）》，以17幅伪造的照片，配合文字说明，“文图并茂”地“形象展示”前文所编造的“近三十种酷刑”。
这是“法轮功”邪教策划、组织，并指挥境内“法轮功”顽固分子编造谎言、炮制假照片，在境外对我造谣污蔑的又一“杰作”。
“法轮功”需要假话
47岁的廖元华，于2001年2月因犯“组织和利用邪教组织破坏法律实施罪”，被判处有期徒刑4年。
2004年6月9日，廖元华刑满释放，借住在其姐夫余济斌家。消息很快传到同样是“法轮功”顽固分子的史丽萍、吴永红等人耳中。在廖元华回家后不久，史丽萍、吴永红、张文芳、兰国文等相继悄悄来探视他。
有计算机特长的史丽萍告诉廖元华，“明慧网”早在2001年9月就发出通知，四处搜集所谓“大法弟子”受“迫害”的材料。
廖元华一点就透：李洪志说过，重大问题要看“明慧网”的态度。廖元华决定按照李洪志的要求，提供“明慧网”所需要的造谣文章。
为了炮制这篇“重磅文章”，史丽萍、吴永红、朱建勋等陆续来找廖元华密谈。据余济斌回忆，每次谈的时间都很长，有一次晚上8点多钟来，直到第二天早上5点才走。
经过多次策划，文章编好了。廖元华找朱建勋、吴永红“征求意见”，吴永红把文章转给了史丽萍。史丽萍建议用第三人称比较好，显得“更客观”，并帮助加上触目惊心的导语和结束语。廖元华看后“觉得蛮好”，认为“可以增强文章的感染力”，同意由史丽萍传给“明慧网”。
接到这篇造谣文章，“明慧网”如获至宝，8月19日便以《湖北沙洋范家台监狱对廖元华的非人折磨》为题醒目刊载，并很快被“宇明”等“法轮功”网站转载，而且，转载时，标题更是被耸人听闻地改成《惨遭近30种毒辣残忍酷刑折磨廖元华不畏强暴》。
“法轮功”还需要假照片
3天后，史丽萍告诉廖元华，“师父”又有新指示：征集大陆“大法弟子”受迫害的模拟照片。
“明慧网”发出指令，要求国内的“法轮功”顽固分子直接提供所谓受“迫害”的假照片，还露骨地暗示可以作假、造谣：“请大家开发自己的智慧。”
经过谋划，廖元华等人决定立即按照“明慧网”的要求制造并提供假照片。按照“明慧网”说的“请大家开发自己的智慧”，廖元华借到一部数码照相机；武亚琴找来了3双解放鞋；没有警服，吴永红找人借来一件交通制服代替；陈荣华拿来两件医务工作服；余济斌还别出心裁地把家中锁板车的铁链子找出来充当“脚镣”……
廖元华23岁的外甥余韶军负责拍摄，分3次完成：第一次，廖元华、吴永红、余济斌、余韶军4人来到事先选择好的余济斌家附近的砖瓦厂，趁砖瓦厂工人忙碌劳动之际，匆匆拍摄一组砖瓦厂照片后迅速溜走。
当晚，廖元华、兰国文、吴永红、陈荣华、余济斌、余韶军6人又来到余济斌家，拍摄廖元华编排的场景。廖元华指导其他几个人，扮演医生、同监所犯人、狱警等，拍摄所谓“架飞机”“荡秋千”“铁衣架打头”等虚假照片，一直忙活到深夜。第二天夜晚，6个人继续作业，把廖元华编造的各种“酷刑”情形，排演了一遍。
总共拍摄了100多张，廖元华让余韶军负责“合成”。余韶军后来交代说，所谓“合成”主要是剪切、截取、合并、拼接。比如后来“明慧网”上刊登的两幅“火砖炮烙”图，就是用4张照片分别合成的。其中砖窑外景两张，在余济斌家拍摄的吴永红、余济斌“扭打”廖元华照片两张，“移花接木”合并成两张砖瓦厂“实景”照片。
这样的照片一共“合成”20多张。完工后，廖元华和余韶军带着照片匆匆来到史丽萍家。经“优中选优”，3个人共同确定了17张照片，并连续两个夜晚，彻夜忙碌配发照片说明等后期工作。
在“怎么对‘大法’有利就怎么说”的逻辑下，一个颠倒黑白的弥天大谎出笼了。
确认天衣无缝后，史丽萍按照此前自己从“明慧网”学到的操作指南，把这些精心炮制的照片传给“明慧网”。
9月2日，“明慧网”以《湖北大法弟子廖元华在范家台监狱所受酷刑示范（图）》为题，悉数刊登了这17幅伪造的照片。
廖元华：文章和照片都是捏造的
对这起“法轮功”邪教境内境外相互勾结、不择手段进行造谣污蔑的案件，湖北省武穴市公安机关迅速组织精兵强将展开侦查。12月2日，案件告破，廖元华等11名涉案人员全部落入法网。
在看守所里，廖元华交代，“文章和照片都是捏造的。”
廖元华交代，“明慧网”登载的照片是为了扩大宣传效果和扩大影响而虚构的。
其实，不但事实是虚构的，照片也是“技术合成”造假出来的。
据余韶军交代，其中一幅所谓“荡秋千”的“酷刑”照片，实际上是由5张照片合成的。其中空床两张，廖元华被两头固定悬空的身体是用头部、腿部、和身子中间3张照片拼接的，最后5张照片合成1张，脚镣的套子则是余韶军用图片编辑软件在电脑上“画”出来的。
类似无中生有“硬”编出来的造谣事实和造假照片还有“架飞机”“头撞墙”“不许上厕所”“注射不明药物”等。在“明慧网”的这篇报道里，比比皆是。
廖元华说，“回想在监狱的日子里，监狱领导和干部为了挽救我，费尽了心血。我的棉袄破了，给我送来新棉袄；我过生日，给我送生日蛋糕；我孩子高考被录取，监狱领导捐款资助他上大学；关心我的学习和生活，给我买口琴、配眼镜、借书籍……”
但这一切，都被廖元华抛到了九霄云外。他说，“痴迷在‘法轮功’中的我，行为的唯一标准，就是李洪志怎么要求，我就怎么做，分不清是非，失去了自我。”
史丽萍也痛心疾首，“我再也不会看什么‘明慧网’了，造假太多。我上当受骗了，而且这个跟头摔得让我震惊。”
余韶军深深地叹息，“我们这些‘法轮功’痴迷者只是他（李洪志）手里的工具，一个牺牲品罢了。他打着‘真善忍’的幌子，却让我们干这些造谣污蔑的事情！”
不过，这些造谣污蔑的东西在李洪志看来，却是绝妙的炒作题材。
8月19日的造谣文章和9月2日的造假照片在“明慧网”上刚一刊载出来，“法轮功”的“大纪元时报”等立即给予配合，纷纷转载，大肆炒作。
谎言终究是谎言，一切黑暗的伎俩终会在阳光下烟消云散。已经在国内失去“市场”的李洪志及“法轮功”邪教组织，落得个只能靠造谣来维持生存，只能靠造谣来蒙骗公众，靠造谣在主子那里领一点“小费”的可耻下场。这群跳梁小丑的可耻行径增加了他们与中国人民为敌的又一铁证。谎言挽救不了“法轮功”邪教彻底灭亡的最终命运，但这场热闹的谎言也提醒我们：与“法轮功”邪教组织作斗争要警钟长鸣、除恶务尽。
Falun Gong fabricates article 'Falun Gong disciples receive cruel torture' on internet
On August 19th 2004, a "Falun Gong" Internet site named "Minghui" published an article with the title: Inhuman torment to Liao Yuanhua of Hubei Shayang Fanjiatai Prison.
Less than two weeks, on September 2nd, "Minghui" published an article named "The Inhuman torment Demonstration of Liao Yuanhua in Hubei Shayang Fanjiatai Prison" with 17 counterfeit photos and explanatory texts, the pictures and texts were "luxuriantly showed" nearly "30 kinds of cruel tortures" mentioned above. This was another masterpiece which was planned, organized, commanded by "Falun Gong" cult, it drove the diehard disciples fabricated lies, concocted the fake photo, and made rumors and slanders abroad to decry our government.
"Falun Gong" needs lies
Liao Yuanhua, 47 years old, became an "organized and utilized the cult to destroy the law and implement the crime" criminal in February of 2001 and sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment for 4 years.
On June 9th 2004, Liao Yuanhua was released and lodged in his brother-in-law Yu Jibin's house. News passed quickly to other "Falun Gong" disciples Shi Liping, Wu Yonghong, etc. Soon after Liao YuanHua went home, Shi Liping, Wu Yonghong, Zhang Wenfang, Lan Guowen etc. came to visit him stealthily in succession.
Shi Liping with computer specialty told Liao Yuanhua, "Minghui" Website was collecting the so-called "persecuted" materials of "Falun Gong" disciples everywhere in September of 2001.
Liao Yuanhua's understood it quickly: Li Hongzhi had said disciples should visit "Minghui" Website to know the attitudes on important issues, so Liao Yuanhua determined to offer an rumored article to "Minghui" Website at the request of Li Hongzhi.
In order to concoct this "Heavy Article", Shi Liping, Wu Yonghong, Zhu Jianxun,etc. talked with Liao Yuanhua secretly. According to the memory of Yu Jibin, the time of discuss each time was very long, once they came in at 8 o'clock in the evening and went out at 5 o'clock in the next morning.
The article had been written out through numerous planning. Liao Yuanhua looked for Zhu Jianxun and Wu Yonghong to "solicit their opinions", and then Wu Yonghong passed the article to Shi Liping. Shi Liping suggested it was better to use the third-person form to make the article "more objective" and helped add some shock words in the beginning and the end. Then Liao Yuanhua read it and "feel quite good" and thought it "could strengthen the appeal of the article", so he agreed Shi Liping to send the article to "Minghui" Website.
"Minghui" Website just like found a treasure when they received the article, then published an article named "Inhuman torment to Liao Yuanhua of Hubei Shayang Fanjiatai Prison" on August 19th. This article were quoted by other "Falun Gong" Websites like "Yuming" etc., moreover, the title was revised to "Suffered nearly 30 kinds cruel torture, Liao Yuanhua defied brutal suppression".
"Falun Gong" needs fake photos
3 days later, Shi Liping told Liao Yuanhua that the "Master" had new command: To collect the mainland disciples' simulation photos of being persecuted.
"Minghui" Website sent out the order and required domestic "Falun Gong" disciples to offer fake photos of being persecuted, hinted them undisguisedly that they could play tricks and make rumors: "Please develop your own intelligence."
Through planning, Liao Yuanhua, et al. determined to make and offer fake photos. According to the command of "develop your own intelligence" in "Minghui" Website, Liao Yuanhua borrowed a digital camera; Wu Yaqin sent for 3 pairs of liberates shoes; Without police uniform, Wu Yonghong looked for somebody to borrow a traffic uniform to replace; Chen Ronghua brought two medical work clothes; Yu Jibin even found out the iron chain which lock the wooden handcart in his family and imitated it as the fetters creatively.
Yu Shaojun, Liao Yuanhua's 23 years old nephew, was responsible for photographing. He divided it into 3 times: The first time, Liao Yuanhua, Wu Yonghong, Yu Jibin and Yu Shaojun came to a brick and tile factory near the house of Yu Jibin, When the workers of the brick and tile factory worked busily, they photographed a group of brick and tile factory's photos hurriedly, and then ran away.
Liao Yuanhua, Lan Guowen, Wu Yonghong, Chen Ronghua, Yu Jibin and Yu Shaojun came to Yu Jibin's house again on that night, and photographed the scene that Liao Yuanhua rehearsed formerly. Liao Yuanhua guided other 5 people act as doctor, prisoner and jailer, and photographed some fake photos of so-called "rack plane", "play on a swing", "coat hanger hit the head" etc., they busied with it till midnight. On the night of the next day, 6 people continued working with it and rehearsed various "cruel tortures" made up by Liao Yuanhua.
They had photographed more than 100 photos totally, and Liao Yuanhua let Yu Shaojun "synthesize" them. Yu Shaojun confessed later that the so-called "synthesize" mainly was to shear, intercept, combine and concatenate. Such as later on "Minghui" Website published two photos of "firebrick and baked gun", those were synthesized by 4 photos: included 2 photos of the outdoor scene of brick and tile factory, 2 photos of Yu Jibin "wrestled" with Liao Yuanhua which were photographed in Yu Jibin's house, then they "substituted the photos stealthily" to merge two "real" photos of brick and tile factory.
Such kind of photos had altogether synthesized more than 20 pieces. After finished, Liao Yuanhua and Yu Shaojun brought the photos to Shi Liping's house hurriedly. By chose the "excellent in excellent", 3 people had confirmed 17 photos and spent two nights to do some later stage works like writing the photo demonstrations etc.
Under the logic of "Only say what benefits Falun Gong", an outright lie came out.
After confirmed flawlessly, Shi Liping sent the concoctive photos to "Minghui" Website according to the operation manual she learned in "Minghui" Website.
On September 2nd, "Minghui" Website published an article named "The Inhuman torment Demonstration of Liao Yuanhua in Hubei Shayang Fanjiatai Prison" with 17 fake photos.
Liao Yuanhua: The articles and photos were fabricated.
Concern with the case of collusion domestically and aboardly and rumoring by "Falun Gong", the public security organ of Hubei Wuxue organized picked troops to launch investigation rapidly. The case was cracked on December 2nd, and all of 11 personnel concerning the cases such as Liao Yuanhua etc. were caught.
Liao Yuanhua confessed in the watch house, "The article and photos were fabricated."
Liao Yuanhua confessed that the photos published on "Minghui" Website was to promote "Falun Gong" and to expand its influence.
In fact, not only the fact was fictitious, but also the photos were fake.
A "cruel torture" photo named so-called "play on a swing", according to the confession of Yu Shaojun, was synthesized by 5 photos actually: 2 photos of empty beds, the 3 fixed hanging body photos of Liao Yuanhua were synthesized by using 3 photos of head, leg and mid body respectively. Finally, 5 photos synthesized to 1 photo, and the sheath of the fetters was "drawn" on the computer by using the photo editing software.
There were also some rumors and fake photos which created something out of nothing appeared everywhere in this article of "Minghui" Website, like "rack plane", "hit the head", "forbid to go to toilet" and "inject the unidentified medicine".
Liao Yuanhua said, "Recall on the days of the prison, prison leaders and the cadres tried their best to save me, my cotton-padded jacket was broken, they sent the new cotton-padded jacket to me; on my birthday, they sent the birthday cake to me; when my child's college entrance examination was passed, the prison leaders contributed and subsidized him to go to university; they cared about my study and dailylife, and bought the harmonica for me, bought the glasses for me, and lent books to me.
But all of these were forgotten by Liao Yuanhua at that time, he said, "when I was infatuated in 'Falun Gong', the only behavioral standard was to do what Li Hongzhi required us to do, I couldn't distinguish right from wrong, and finally lost myself.
Shi Liping was bitter too, "I will never visit the so-called 'Minghui' Website because it made the fake too much. The dust threw into my eyes, and this fall made me shock.
Yu Shaojun sighed deeply, "The 'Falun Gong' addicts such as me were only a tool, a victim in his (Li Hongzhi) hand. He held the sign of "truthfulness, benevolence and forbearance", but let us to do the things of rumoring and slandering!
However, these things of rumoring and slandering were the splendid sensationalizing subject in Li Hongzhi's view.
Many websites of "Falun Gong" such as "Epochtimes" offered cooperation immediately after the article and the photos were published on "Minghui" Website on August 19th and September 2nd, and then they quoted them one after another as well as sensationalized them without restraint.
The lie is a lie eventually, and all dark tricks will disappear in a flash under the sunshine finally.
