The Torture of Li Fenyou

[Zhongjiang County, Sichuan Province]

Li Fenyou, female, resident of Zhongjiang County, Sichuan Province, was arrested for practising Falun Gong. The police illegally held her in the detention centre. She continued to practice exercises in the detention centre. The police used an electric baton to shock and beat her. Then they asked her if she would practise again. Li answered "yes." The guards were angered and they put shackles and handcuffs on her and beat her to the point where there wasn't a patch of skin that wasn't bruised. They then asked her again if she would give up her exercises. She replied firmly that she would continue to practise. The police were angered further and so they hung her on an iron window with her tiptoes only slightly touching the ground. The long hours of hanging were so painful that she could not hold in her urine or control her bowels. The police didn't let her down and again asked her to renounce her belief. She again firmly replied, "I will practise as long as I can breathe."

All the criminals who saw it were greatly moved. They said, "Those who practise Falun Gong are good people, they only speak the truth, while the police beat them up so hard." Without a trial or chance to appeal, Li Fenyou was illegally sent to Ziyang Forced Labour Camp after the director of police department signed his name. In the labour camp, she endured more tortures and was injected with psychotropic drugs causing mental disorientation and distortion. She was tortured until she was bent over and dying, then the detention centre called her family to carry her home. A smart and capable woman was tortured to the point where she was almost dead simply because she practised Falun Gong. Who are the real criminals destroying families? Who is actually destroying society?
