Ms Sun Qiuping Was Forced to Renounce Falun Gong and Died from Persecution by Police in Hebei Province

For the past six years, the Liushou Town Police in Funing County, Hebei Province have exhausted themselves in their efforts to persecute Falun Gong. Frequent large-scale illegal arrests of practitioners took place in the Funing County Police Station. Many practitioners were on the verge of death after brutal treatment. Ms Sun Qiuping from Panguanying Village gave up the practice after brutal torture and died shortly thereafter.

Because Mrs. Sun Qiuping went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa, she was arrested and taken back to her local County Detention Centre. Police officers transferred her to the police station, and brutally persecuted her. According to Mrs. Sun's statement before her death, she was held in the police station for three days, during which at least twenty people took turns beating her; kicking her head, face and body with heavy boots. Her face and head became deformed. It was completely swollen and bruised. It was such a gruesome sight that nobody dared to look at her. Her face was still unrecognisable after eight days had passed.

Under all kinds of pressure and threats, Mrs. Sun Qiuping was forced to give up Falun Dafa, and write a Guarantee Statement (1). Before releasing her, the director from the security department of the police station, threatened her, saying: "If you dare to take part in any [Falun Gong] activity, we will send you directly to a labour camp." After her release, she became ill with hepatitis and quickly passed away.

The Liushouying Town Police Station has been in full accord with Jiang Zemin's faction for all these years. They frequently raided practitioner's homes, took whatever they wanted, and arrested practitioners. They took at least three tape recorders from one practitioner. They recently broke into a new practitioner's home, and confiscated his tape recorder, books and other materials. They search and arrest people at will without any legal procedure.

After the persecution began on July 20,1999, the Liushouying Town police brutally tortured practitioners. They arrested a doctor from Niutouya Town Hospital, hung him up from a roof for a long time, and did not let him down until he was dying. They arrested practitioners at night, and did not even let them get dressed before taking them away.

On April 5, 2005, security director Ru Hongxi from Funing County Police Station arrested Dafa practitioner Feng Sumei in Liushouying Market while she was conducting business. They raided her home and confiscated her Falun Dafa books and materials. She is currently being held in Funing County Detention Centre.
