Police Brutality at the Daqing Prison In China

Between March 10 and April 23, 2004, the Daqing Prison stepped up its brutal persecution of illegally detained Falun Dafa practitioners. Division chief Li Fengjiang and Xiang Zhenchen in the seventh prison section ordered inmates to violently abuse Falun Dafa practitioners Zhao Yuan, Jin Sheng, and Quan Zhaoqi. They cruelly tortured them by tying them up, beating them, pouring cold water on them, and burning them with cigarettes.

The brutal beating of Zhao Yuan caused him to vomit blood, and perforated his ear drum. The persecutors stripped the practitioners naked and forced them to lie on their stomachs in the wind, then poured cold water over them. Quan Zhaoqi was beaten so badly that his face was deformed, and he twice passed out, after which they poured cold water over him to bring him back. They burned practitioners' fingers with cigarettes and made them stand for six days, which resulted in their feet becoming so swollen that they could not put on their shoes. Guard Xue Zhixun brutally beat Zhao Yuan. The division chief, Li Fengjiang, said, "There is no such thing as 'too much' when it comes to dealing with Falun Gong." Consequently, the inmates blithely abused and tortured Falun Gong practitioners.

There are thirty-two Falun Dafa practitioners being detained in this location.
