Dafa Practitioner Ms Ma Liqin Is Completely Paralyzed by Police Torture

Ms. Ma Liqin is a 47 year old retiree from the Qitaihe City No. 204 Geologic Exploration Team in Heilongjiang Province. She recovered from several chronic diseases after beginning to practise Falun Gong.

On March 5, 2002 Ms. Ma was arrested by policeman Qin Yong from the Xinxing District Dongfeng Police Station for practising Falun Gong. She was later sent to the Beishan No. 2 Detention Centre.

On March 15 the No. 2 Detention Centre director, Yin Zhongliang, dragged Ms. Ma into his office and viciously tortured her. He kicked her, smashed her head against the wall, and punched her face. The torture caused bruises all over her body, and her head became terribly swollen. Ms. Ma lost consciousness at the scene, yet the police thought she was just pretending.

Later they gave her acupuncture and administered medicine to resuscitate her heart. In order to avoid responsibility, they took Ms. Ma to the Xinxing Police Department, but the police department refused to take her. They passed by a hospital on their way back from the police department, yet the police from the did not take her in there for medical treatment. They also did not notify her family members. Later Ms. Ma's family members learned the news, and rushed to the detention centre to insist they take her to the hospital.

The doctor diagnosed Ms. Ma with two clots of blood inside her brain. There were also bruises all over her lower back, legs, feet, and hands. Ms. Ma woke up four days later, but she had completely lost the ability to move her body.
