My name is Niu Ruiping, and I am 49 years old. I live in Tangshan City, Hebei Province. I have dedicated myself to living in accordance with "Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance," and to being a good person in any situation.
On March 6, 2005, I went door to door to give out leaflets exposing the persecution and arrived at the gates of Zhu Guihua's house. At around 2 p.m. in the afternoon, the Guye district's new village resident committee director along with the Guye district police station chief Xiao Zhongguo and another policeman barged into Zhu Guihua's house. Without showing any papers, they started to search the home. They confiscated many lecture books, CDs, and Clearwisdom weekly magazines. Xiao Zhongguo asked me for my name. I thought to myself that I should have the freedom of going door to door, so I thus did not cooperate with them and did not give them my name.
In the afternoon on the same day, Xiao Zhongguo and two policemen took me to the Guye police station for interrogation. They asked me what my name was. I did not answer. Seven or eight policemen, under orders from Zhang Shuhua and Xiao Zhongguo, promptly took turns beating me. Two of them twisted my arms; one pulled my hair. The station chief Zhang Shuhua slapped me countless times. Xiao Zhongguo did not hesitate to kick me many times as well. Policeman Li Mengjun used his shoes to hit my cheeks. They told me during the interrogation, "We are the machines of the CCP. If the CCP has us beat you then we will beat you." They also said that if the CCP orders them kill people, they would do it, because the CCP will give them money. They had no trouble getting my mouth to bleed during the beatings. As I used my hand to wipe the blood away, they forced my hand away from my mouth. They beat me to the point where I became dizzy and lost my eyesight. My eyes and mouth were all swollen. They pulled a large amount of my hair out of my scalp as well. When I used my hands to brush my hair back, I picked up some hair in my hand. One officer snatched the hair I had picked up right out of my hand, in a vain attempt to hide the evidence. There were two policemen who used sharp sticks to pinch my fingertips. Another policeman wore heavy boots and forcefully stepped on my feet. The 58-year-old Zhu Guihua and Chen Xiuxia, who were taken at the same time as I was, were beaten as well. Their hair was also pulled out, and their faces and heads were all swollen from the beatings.
After a while, the policemen brought me to another room. I continued to refuse to cooperate with them. This made them angry and they started twisting my arms, and beating me mercilessly with floor sweeping brooms. My hands were very swollen from all the hitting and my whole body was bruised with green and purple wounds. When they were done with me, they locked me in a cell, and because I couldn't see properly, I had trouble even walking to the toilet. No one paid attention to my suffering.
On the morning of March 7, after finding out who I was, the 1st section chief, Liu Zheng, ordered police to search and ransack my home. They confiscated a set of lecture CDs, and five posters exposing the persecution.
On the evening of March 7, the Guye police took me to a detention centre. On the afternoon of March 8, I suddenly had a dizzy spell and found that my heart was beating way too fast. The detention centre director Zhao called the Public Security Bureau chief, and then contacted the Guye police station. Then they brought me to the Guye district hospital for an examination. The found that my blood pressure was around 200 which was the result of being beaten on March 6, after which I almost never slept, and I vomited every time I ate or drank something.
On March 10, after seeing me vomit again after eating very little, director Zhao brought me to the Guye district hospital again that afternoon. My blood pressure was still around 200. The pupil in my left eye was externally damaged and enlarged. The insides of both of my eyes were also very blurry, light didn't seem to go through straight, and my right cornea was swollen. On the evening of March 10, the detention centre director released me to go home. After I arrived at my house, the Guye district police station dispatched four people and put me under surveillance 24 hours a day.
