Supplementary Report on Practitioner Mr. Cai Guojun, Who Was Persecuted to Disability in Yingchuan City

On the morning of May 27th, 2005, police officers from the 610 Office¹ of the Ningxia Autonomous Region, Yingchuan City National Security, and National Security Bureau of the Shizuishan District ransacked the apartment of three practitioners. The policemen confiscated their Falun Gong books, exercise music tapes, a tape player, and a palm PC. Practitioners Hu Jiancai, Qiao Jianhui, and Mr. Cai Guojun, were arrested and detained in a detention centre in Shizuishan City. Later, Hu Jiancai and Mr. Qiao were transferred to a second detention centre in Shizuishan City.

On June 8th, police officers from the National Security Bureau took Mr. Cai Guojun back to Yingchuan City. Around 4 p.m., on the fourth floor of the Xingqing District Police Station, Director of the National Security Group Meng Changyi, police officers Zhang Dingsheng and Lu Jianrong, and police officer Wang Man from the National Security Bureau of the Yingchuan Police Station started to interrogate Mr. Cai. Meng Changyi slapped Mr. Cai's face. He and Wang Man cuffed Mr. Cai's hands behind his back to interrogate and torture him.

When Meng Changyi told Mr. Cai to kneel down, Mr. Cai refused. Meng then kicked Cai's calf and forced him to kneel down. After that, Meng stepped on his neck and shoulder and forced Mr. Cai's face to the ground. The pain was hard to bear.

Five or six police officers were standing around, gloating. When Mr. Cai challenged them, saying, "This is illegal and against human rights," police officer Zhang answered, "There are no human rights in China. You think you are in America?" Mr. Cai defied them again, "Your interrogation and tortures are illegal." Police officer Wang answered, "If we don't interrogate and torture you, will you say anything?"

Later they got a chair and bound Mr. Cai's hands and legs to the chair with steel rings. A board was put in front of his chest and tied up with the back of a chair by two belts. Thus, Cai could not move at all. He was tied up this way for more than 10 hours, until noon the next day. Mr. Cai waited for Meng and the others to go out for lunch to escape. Then his bonds miraculously loosened. As he climbed down the drainpipe on the outer wall of the building, the pipeline pulled loose, and Mr. Cai fell from the forth floor. He fractured his pelvis, two vertebrae, and his right arm.

After four months of medical treatment, his right leg is still disabled. Currently, Mr. Cai has been released. Facing a petition from Mr. Cai and his family, the police are refusing to admit that they tortured him during their interrogation. They also rejected the requests from Mr. Cai and his family to investigate the people responsible and their requests for compensation.
