Practitioner Ms. Li Ruiying, in Her Fifities, Tortured to Death

Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Li Ruiying, 54, lived in Dingxing County, Hebei Province. Because she steadfastly practised Falun Dafa, Ms. Li was tortured, brutally beaten, and shocked many times with electric batons. She was tied up for four whole days inside the Baoding City Forced Labour Camp, and later cuffed onto a bed for four days. In September 2004, she was bailed out on medical parole because she was dying, and she passed away on December 19th, 2005.

Before January 1997, when she started cultivating in Falun Dafa, Ms. Li Ruiying had late stage uterus cancer. Her illnesses went away as a result of studying the Falun Dafa books and doing the exercises. Falun Dafa gave her a second life. Ms. Li Ruiying firmly believed Falun Dafa, so she went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa on July 20th, 1999, and October 1st, 1999.

In 2000, Ms. Li Ruiying broke away from her family's confinement of her, and went to Beijing three times to explain the truth of Falun Dafa with her own experience. Among these three times, one time she went by walking along the railway tracks. She was arrested and taken back to her hometown every time, and detained twice. She was extorted of more than twenty thousand yuan¹.

When she was locked in a brainwashing class, she was taken to the police station twice, and not allowed to eat. Policemen slapped her face on the first day, and cuffed her onto a chair for an entire day. The second day, they cuffed her onto two windows, which forced her arms straight apart, and put her under the baking sun for 7-8 hours. Only after she passed out due to extreme pain did the policemen let her down.

One time Ms. Li Ruiying did the Falun Dafa exercises, so the guards cuffed her onto two big trees, and then beat her lower body with a club. In 2001, her husband brutally beat her because she kept her faith, and sent her to Baoding City Mental Hospital.

In 2003, Ms. Li Ruiying was arrested by local police because she was posting Falun Dafa leaflets exposing the persecution. She was brutally beaten and shocked with electric batons in the local police station. She shouted, "Falun Dafa is good!" Policemen then stuffed dirty socks into her mouth, and knocked out more than ten of her teeth. She was later sentenced to two years of forced labour in the Baoding City Forced Labour Camp.

In 2004, while she was in the Baoding City Forced Labour Camp, guards tied her four limbs to a chair for four entire days, but she still refused to give up her faith. She was then tortured with "leaning against a big board"² for four days. She was forcibly injected with drugs, force-fed, and given intravenous injections. While being forced to suffer an intravenous injection, Ward Liu Ziwei beat and shocked her.

Ms. Li Ruiying was tortured until she was near death in the labour camp, and she was bailed out on medical parole in September 2004. Because she was severely injured both mentally and physically, she had a stroke, and died on December 19th, 2005.

Another Falun Dafa practitioner, Ms. Zhou Cuihua, 60, also lived in Nanxiaozhuang Village, Dingxing County. She went to Beijing twice to appeal for Falun Dafa in 2000, and was arrested and taken back, detained in Township Government Office, beaten, and extorted of five thousand yuan. She died on January 8th, 2004.

The Liyuzhuang Brainwashing Centre is located in Dingxing County, and it is an evil den to torture Falun Dafa practitioners. There is a room on the west side equipped with electric batons, rubber batons, handcuffs, and thick metal chains hanging down from the beams. Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Xiong Fengxia from Guchengsan Street, Dingxing County was beaten to death in mid October 2002, while hung up by the steel chain in that room.

1. "Yuan" is the Chinese currency; 500 yuan is equal to the average monthly income of an urban worker in China.

2. Leaning against a Big Board - Practitioners are tied spread-eagled to a bed and also in other fixed positions for long periods of time. The lack of circulation sometimes causes the practitioners to become disabled.
