Mr. Kong Xiangzhu from Heilongjiang Province Tortured to Death

The Administration of Mudanjiang City Prison in Heilongjiang Province used its influence to delay the release of Mr. Kong Xiangzhu. On April 18th, 2007, when he was beyond help and dying, Mr. Kong was released. He died two months later.

Mr. Kong Xiangzhu died

Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Kong Xiangzhu lived in the Jianshan District, Shuangyashan City. He grew up in a very poor family. He used to be very weak before he started cultivation. He could not work and was bedridden. He became healthy and strong after starting to practise Falun Dafa at the age of 28.

On the evening of May 1st, 2002, police officers deceived Mr. Kong Xiangzhu into going to a construction site and arrested him. They claimed he had been involved in tapping into cable TV to broadcast the truth about the persecution. When his family heard he was being resuscitated in a hospital, they rushed to the hospital, but he was already in an operating room. His whole body was covered with bruises, and his back had been burned due to electric baton shocks. The flesh around his neck had separated from his bones.

In June 2006, Mr. Kong was diagnosed with severe tuberculosis in the Tenth Ward of Mudanjiang City Prison. He was unconscious. By July 2006, after being treated outside the prison, he was still in critical condition. He could not move his lower body or take care of himself. He sometimes was mentally confused.

His family requested to have him released due to his critical condition. The Prison Administration deceived his family by promising to have him bailed out on medical parole, but they did not process the paperwork for several months. The Yonghong Police Station refused to accept his files, claiming that Mr. Kong Xiangzhu's residential registration was not in their files. Mr. Kong therefore did not get treatment at this critical time.

After ten months of unrelenting effort, Mr. Kong's family secured his release after having five thousand yuan¹ extorted from them. Mr. Kong was as thin as a skeleton and unconscious.

After two miserable months, Mr. Kong Xiangzhu died on the evening of June 23rd, 2007.
