Two Brothers and a Sister Arrested and Tortured

Mr. Fu Hongru is over 50 years old and lives in Tonghua City, Jilin Province. On April 23rd, 2008, he was arrested by the Tuanjie police and for the next two days was shocked with electric batons and beaten. When he was taken to the Changliu Detention Centre on April 25th, he was covered with cuts and bruises. To cover up the truth, the police officers wrote on the arrest warrant that he was arrested on April 25th.

Fu Hongru's brother, Fu Hongjian, 46, and sister, Fu Lisa, were also arrested.

Mr. Fu Hongjian was also arrested by the Tuanjie police. At the police station, he was so brutally tortured that he was unable to walk. He had to be carried to Changliu Detention Centre. Results of a physical examination showed that all of his injuries were caused by the Tuanjie police. Just 12 hours after arriving at the detention centre, he was taken to the central hospital of Tonghua City for medical treatment. After nine days in the hospital, he was allowed to go home. But the cuts and bruises had not healed and his left eye was so severely injured that it is permanently damaged.

Seven or eight police officers from Tuanjie Police Station moved Mr. Fu out of the hospital, telling family members that he could be released on bail for further medical treatment. When his family arrived to collect him, he was lying on a stretcher, his left eye was covered by a cloth, and he was very pale. The hospital staff said they could do nothing more to help him, but his family did not want to take him home, as he looked so sick. The Tuanjie Police Station chief lied and said, "All his injuries were incurred when Fu Hongjian tried to beat up the police." But when the hospital requested a medical fee of four thousand yuan¹, the police chief said, "The police station will pay the cost."

At present, Mr. Fu Hongru is still in Changliu Detention Centre; the whereabouts and condition of Mr. Fu Hongjian are unknown. Their sister, Ms. Fu Lisa, was arrested on April 27th, and has since been detained at Tonghua Detention Centre.

When the Tuanjie police arrested Fu Hongru, Fu Hongjian, and Fu Lisa, they confiscated Falun Gong books.
