Mr. Liu Shanqiu, a 77-year-old retired cadre from the Tax Bureau, was arrested by them, simply because he tried to tell people the facts of Falun Gong. After they finished beating this elderly man, they ordered a prisoner to continue beating him.
After the lengthy beating from these criminals, elderly Mr. Liu had wounds all over his body, and his intestines were severed. He was sent to a hospital for emergency treatment, and paid 11,000 Yuan [500 Yuan is the average monthly income for an urban worker in China.] However, the "610 Office" gangsters still wouldn't leave him alone, and as a further penalty, they forced him to pay 1000 Yuan.
Practitioner Chen, who is 66 years old, was arrested by the same people, simply because he went to appeal to a higher level of government. He was beaten, kicked, and endured various forms of torture from "610 Office" staff members. They forced the old man to kneel on the ground. They then put a thick wooden stick across the old man's calves, and two heavy men were made to stand on each end of the stick: a method of torture which causes excruciating pain.
Due to the brutality of the local "610 Office," some practitioners were forced to leave their homes. The "610 Office" then confiscated everything from them worth any value, and kidnapped their children and other family members, using them as hostages.
