Violent Acts of Policemen Cause Practitioner’s Death

Violent Acts of Policemen in Gaopian Township Cause the Death of Another Practitioner

On December 31, 2000, more than 80 Falun Dafa practitioners (from Gaopian Township) went to Beijing to appeal, exercising the lawful rights given to every citizen by the Constitution. However, they were illegally escorted back by officers from the local police and detained in Gaopian Township's police station.

Policemen at the station cruelly and inhumanly persecuted Dafa practitioners. The only meal practitioners had every day consisted of one bowl of thin porridge, covered with a layer of hot pepper sauce. After eating this kind of food, practitioners would get swollen, sore throats and severe coughs. The policemen also deprived practitioners of sleep for one whole week. During the night, the police tricked practitioners to come out, with the excuse of "having a talk." Then 7 or 8 policemen ganged up to punch, kick and beat the practitioners with spiked clubs. Some practitioners were beaten black and blue, and could not walk for a long time. Practitioner Wu Xianzhi, who was from Gaopian Township, was beaten for hours to the point of losing consciousness. When she was escorted back, her face was red and swollen, and her entire body was covered with wounds. Her condition was so bad that she could not stand up.

At the same time, another practitioner named Chen Dengyi from San Shui Township was beaten so severely that he bled from several places and was unconscious for several hours. He was also force fed with urine after he woke up.

Another female practitioner, Tan Sufen, 58 years old, is from Heping Village, Nanxing Township, Guanghan City, Sichuan Province. She was beaten black and blue and at the verge of death. Officials from the Gaopian Township Police Station were afraid of taking responsibility, so they hastily called her family to take her back home. She died at home six days later.
