Public Security Bureau Commits Crimes in Zhaodong City and Shuanghe Labour Camp in Qi City

[Zhaodong City, Heilongjiang Province]

The Mayor of Zhaogong City, Zhu Yin, feared being demoted if a large number of Falun Gong practitioners went to Beijing to appeal to the government to stop persecuting Falun Gong. So before the Chinese lunar New Year's Day, he ordered the Public Security Bureau to perform many criminal acts. The officers of the Public Security Bureau rounded up practitioners on a large scale, searched their homes without warrants, illegally detained them and sent many practitioners to labour camps. Zhaodong City was in chaos.

One practitioner reports, "They took me to the police substation and then illegally placed me under custody in the detention centre for 5 months without any legal paper work. In May of this year, I, along with nine other practitioners was forcibly sent to Shuanghe Labour Camp in Qi City without any legal procedure. We practitioners inquired, 'We are innocent. Why are you sending us to a labour camp? We won't go unless you follow legal procedures.' The Chief of the Detention Centre, Wu, was so angered that he started barbarously beating practitioners and dragging them around by their hair. He hit practitioner Sun Shuwen with a club, breaking it into two pieces. The bruise on Sun's head swelled to the size of an egg. The officers of the Detention Centre then yelled at the criminals in their cells to come join them in dragging us into vehicles. We were forced into vehicles at 6am. Clumps of practitioners' hair were left in the hallway. Practitioners not yet sent out witnessed all this and protested against these criminal acts by going on a hunger strike and demanding their unconditional release. When the hunger strike was into the fifth day, the police officers force fed us with salt water and foul bean curd soup. 35-year-old female practitioner Liu Xiaoling was killed as a result of the forced feeding.

Nothing was done to the criminals who caused Liu's death. They are still at large. They spread the lie that Liu starved to death as a result of the hunger strike. It is hard to look at these astonishing incidents that took place one after another."
