Chinese Practitioner Gives Touching First-hand Account of Evil Persecution

Ma Benshun said the following about the torture he experienced:
I began practising Dafa in Autumn 1997. The physical and mental benefits I experienced from Dafa were so great that I could hardly find the words to describe them. But Jiang Zemin openly disobeyed the Chinese constitution (of human rights) and started to persecute practitioners. On July 15, 2001, I was illegally taken to the National Security Brigade of Shuangqiao District and handcuffed to a heating pipe for one day and one night. In the afternoon of the 16th, I was sent to Chengde City Detention Centre. During that night, a few people from the National Security Brigade dragged me to an interrogation room. They put shackles on me and forcibly took away my eyeglasses. While I was being dragged out through the door, Liu Mingcheng of the National Security Brigade kicked me in the front. I denounced their illegal behaviour but that didn't stop them. They took me to Liu Mingcheng's office on the fourth floor of the police department. The Director of the Brigade, Lu Feng came in and cursed me and then ordered Liu Mingcheng to "teach me a lesson." He turned to me and said, "Let's see who is smarter." Later, they assigned two hired security guards to monitor me and make sure that I did not sleep and then they all left.

Being a practitioner, I could not passively accept the persecution, nor surrender to the evil persecution. At first, both of my hands were handcuffed and my two feet were shackled. Later, Zhang Huaimin came in and took off one of the handcuffs. I took this opportunity to pull my feet up and push the lock on the shackles. I was able to open the lock. The two guards near me did not seem to hear anything. I was surprised and tried the other lock. It opened as well. Around 4 AM, I tried to take off the other handcuff. I moved my hands in different directions and finally got my hands free. The guards were still chatting. I stepped on the chair and then the desk and jumped out through the window. But I fell to the concrete ground. (Since they had taken away my glasses I couldn't see where I was.) When I woke up, I found I was in the city hospital and was severely injured. Later, several police from the police department complained "we can't follow every trick designed by our superiors. Whenever any accident happens, they never take any responsibility. We are the ones left dealing with the problems." I concluded that this was a trap set by the top leaders of the police department.

At the beginning of the medical treatment, the police department was cooperative with the hospital. But later when they heard that the operation would cost 20,000 to 30,000 Yuan, they changed their attitude. I told them they should release me and let my family take me home. We have our own method to deal with any problem. They did not need to take responsibility for anything. Of course they were happy and agreed. But they had to get the permission of their superiors. At the same time, my wife was also illegally detained in a detention centre and later transferred to Xiaban city for interrogation, torture and hanging. Our 5-year-old child was missing.

So I had to wait in the hospital without any treatment and without my basic needs met because the police department refused to pay. With no other choice, I bore the pain and tried to walk out of the hospital. The guards saw me and brought me back. Then the Deputy Director of the City Police Department Li Jincheng came. He shouted and cursed consistently and ordered the District Police Department around. Under his control and direction, the District Police Department threatened the hospital into issuing a release form to allow me to leave the hospital and sent me to the detention centre. When the police guards at the detention centre saw my condition, they immediately refused to accept me. But with the order from City Police Department they changed their rules for acceptance and justified it with the following line, "In a hospital a patient is determined to be in critical condition based on the condition of his health. Here in our detention centre, we have a different standard."

[…]
Here we remind all people who still have some kindness in their hearts not to help the vicious people for any immediate perceived benefit and gain.

(Note: When Ma Benshun was first sent to the hospital, the doctors diagnosed that his backbone was fractured at his waist and his ankle was also fractured. On August 5th, he was sent to the detention centre. Though he had received no medical treatment, by mid-September […], he could walk by himself and could sit for a long time.)
