Tiananmen Police's Criminal Behaviour

[Beijing, China]

On New Year's Day last year several practitioners and I went to Beijing to safeguard Falun Dafa. When we entered the square, policemen stopped us and put us into a police van. The reason they gave for stopping us was that we were carrying toothbrushes with us. Later we were sent to the Tiananmen Square Police Station. Depraved policemen and hired criminals beat us and tried to force us to swear at our Teacher Li. We refused and so they locked us up in a cage.

We were locked inside an iron cage for a whole day. We were not allowed to eat even the food we had brought with us or to use the toilet. When they beat up a woman with a child, the child was scared and cried loudly. We couldn't just sit there and do nothing so we shouted to the thugs, "You're not allowed to beat people! You're not allowed to beat people." The policemen spat and sprayed water on us; it was in the coldest part of winter.

At about 9 pm that evening, we were transferred to a large detention centre in the suburbs. The policemen ordered us to stand, squat or kneel down facing the wall. If we did not comply with their request, they would beat us with clubs studded with sharp "teeth" and shock us with electric batons.

After some time in the detention centre, we were again transferred to the county level detention centre. The policemen escorting us searched us. They took all our money, totalling over one thousand Yuan, and put it into their own pockets without giving us any kind of receipt.
