Elderly Falun Dafa Practitioner Mr. Du Borang Tortured to Paralysis Then Dies

Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Du Borang from Huaibei City in Anhui Province was followed and persecuted by "610 Office" (1) personnel for his persistence in Falun Gong practice. It happened while he was visiting his relatives in Zhuhai City in 2004. The lower portion of his body became paralysed from torture, and he died at home on February 10, 2005.

Mr. Du Borang was a retired official from the People's Bank of China, Huaibei City Branch. He had been arrested several times by 610 Office agents and by people from the Political and Security Section in Suixi County. In 2002, he was incarcerated in Huaibei City No. 1 Detention Centre, in violation of the Chinese constitution, and suffered persecution for five months. When he was released, though, the police wrote in the document that he had been incarcerated for only 15 days.

In 2004, Du Borang went to Zhuhai City to visit his relatives. 610 Office officials followed him to Zhuhai to persecute him. In the second half of 2004, right after Du Borang went back home, the lower part of his body became paralysed. He was bed-ridden for five months and died on February 10, 2005.

Since July 20th, 1999, Suixi County governmental authorities have rampantly arrested Falun Gong practitioners. In such a small county, more than 100 practitioners were illegally arrested. Four of them were sentenced to forced labour, nine were sentenced up to eight years, all in violation of the Chinese constitution. They also persecuted practitioners by means of fines, interfering with their employment as well as subjecting them to brainwashing. They caused serious physical and mental trauma for practitioners and brought damage to a lot of families. Many practitioners' families have been broken up; several went into exile to avoid being further persecuted.
