Hebei Province Police Abduct and Cripple Falun Gong Practitioners

In Hebei Province, the Laishui County Public Security Bureau has once again attempted to portray their unjustifiable actions as lawful, citing a dubious charge to excuse another large-scale, illegal arrest of over twenty innocent Falun Gong practitioners. The Bureau began removing citizens from their homes for incarceration and torture while attributing this round of state-sponsored terrorism to the accusation that these citizens were spreading SARS rumours. These local police then applied barbaric tactics aimed at coercing the practitioners into renouncing their freedom of belief. Following their torture, some practitioners have continued to suffer in a crippled state. This gross miscarriage of justice was overseen by Mr. Zhang Jianhua, the Public Security Bureau political commissioner in Laishui County. Mr. Zhang as well as the other authorities named below are responsible for these atrocities.
