Falun Dafa Practitioner Mr. Bai Shaohua Near Death; Can the Persecutors Escape Responsibility for Their Crimes? (Photo)

Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Bai Shaohua from Beijing was tortured nearly to death. He had been sent home from the Gaoyang Forced Labour Camp in Hebei Province, and even though he had not yet recovered from the torture and could not walk on his own, agents from the Communist regime again arrested him on March 3th, 2006. Ms. Li Xupeng and Mr. Ma Wanli, who went to visit him, and his elderly mother and five-year-old daughter Bai Zhenyu, were all arrested.

The whereabouts of Bai Shaohua are unknown at this time. There is also no information indicating whether or not his mother and daughter have been released.

Since the disturbing news of the Sujiatun Concentration Camp in Shenyang City was exposed to the world, the sufferings of Bai Shaohua, his elderly mother and young daughter, Li Xupeng, Ma Wanli and that of all the illegally detained Falun Gong practitioners are of even more concern. What kind of torture and persecution will they face? The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its followers are capable of doing any disgraceful things!

Mr. Bai Shaohua tortured nearly to death

Bai Shaohua and his wife were both arrested during the CCP's mass arrest of Falun Gong practitioners in Beijing in the days leading up to the October 1st, 2005 National Day. Just in Beijing's Haidian District alone, approximately 30 practitioners were arrested.

Almost half a year has passed since October 1st, 2005. It was learned that some of the practitioners were incarcerated at the Qinghe Detention Centre in Haidian District, some were sent to the Dispatch Division of the Tuanhe Forced Labour Camp in Beijing, and some were secretly sent to the Gaoyang Forced Labour Camp in Baoding City, Hebei Province.

Bai Shaohua has been on a hunger strike for over 100 days. He suffered from physical and mental trauma and was near death. He was carried back home on December 28th, 2005. His wife Ji Lei is still detained in the Gaoyang Forced Labour Camp in Baoding City, Hebei Province. With him at death's door, his over 70-year-old mother and 5-year-old daughter can no longer depend on each other to get by. Refusing to give up her belief, his elderly mother is nearly blind as a result of the persecution. She was so worried that she wept, "I was expecting my son to come back. Now he is back, but a healthy person has been persecuted to such a state. They do not release my daughter-in-law. How can this family be called a family? How can this family lead a life?"

This broken family has now been damaged again. I want to ask all who participate in this persecution: Facing this broken family, facing Mr. Bai Shaohua who was tortured nearly to death: can you unashamedly declare that you did not persecute him?

In 2005, in order to rescue Bai Shaohua and other practitioners who were arrested along with him, I once called the case team at the Qinghe Detention Centre in Beijing. The staff told me over the phone, "We are dealing with this case according to the law." When I asked him, "By practising Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and being a good person, what law has been broken?" He became flustered and said, "If you are not clear about the law, don't ask me. Go consult the legal departments." I calmly told him, "I'm very clear that practising Falun Gong does not violate any law of any country. If you know about the law, you should not participate in this persecution." His tone then turned soft, "When you see your friend in the future, you can ask him. I did not persecute him, I'm just doing my job."

"I did not persecute him. I'm just doing my job." "I did not persecute her, my family members also need to make a living." "I did not persecute you, I have no other choice."

During the bloody persecution in the past six years, different people kept saying such words. Actually this is not a surprise. Even the Jiang Zemin acts shamelessly. He is no longer the head of the nation but still, as a former leader of the nation, he vainly attempts to enjoy immunity to escape punishment for his crimes. By contrast, all the police officers attempt to claim that they did not detain, beat and persecute practitioners in person. The CCP and Jiang's criminal faction took the lead to do violence but do not have the courage to take responsibility. All of them want to find a scapegoat.

Even the so-called "doctors" in the Sujiatun Concentration Camp who transplant living practitioners' organs were infused with propaganda, "It is not a crime to remove the organs from living Falun Gong practitioners, it's just helping the CCP to 'cleanse'."

If you are indeed confused about the horrible end of those who participate in the persecution, let me tell you a true story. One of my relatives works in a local hospital. When I told her the truth of the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong, she said before I continued, "There is retribution. Those people in our hospital who participated in persecution during the Cultural Revolution have all experienced tragedies in their later years. Many of them have children suffering from cancer."

Indeed, in the last few years, innumerable officials who persecuted Dafa practitioners have received their due retribution. Hurting others is to hurt oneself. Even one's family and friends will be affected. Those who do not do violence and take a chance to treat practitioners kindly and protect them will have a very bright future.

Thinking about the thousands of practitioners who died as a result of persecution in the past six years, I wish to ask those who participated in the persecution, "Dare you say that you have no blood of practitioners on your hands? Aren't Tang Yubao who electric shocked practitioner Gao Rongrong and He Xuejian who raped practitioner Liu Jizhi, like you? If you can truly be responsible for yourself, please no longer do evil deeds with the CCP! Please do not take other's sufferings and your one tragic future as child's play."
