58-Year-Old Mr. Gao Changying from Liaoning Province Tortured to Death

Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Gao Changying was 58 years old and an employee of Hongtoushan Copper Mine in Qingyuan County, Liaoning Province. On August 26th 2001, he was arrested and brutally beaten by Hongtoushan Police Station Head Liang Daming all night long. His teeth were knocked out, and he passed out. He was sent to Dashagou Detention Centre in Qingyuan County the next day, and was sentenced to forced labour. Due to the fact that his life was in danger, the labour camp refused to accept him. He was then detained five more months in Qingyuan County Detention Centre, and was released home after being extorted five thousand yuan¹in cash. The authorities constantly harassed him at home, and he died on September 22nd 2005.

According to a witness' statement, "One day around 6 p.m., towards the end of August 2001, we saw a police vehicle suddenly stop at the corner. Station Head Liang Daming led a group of police and the Mine Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Personnel Chair Geng Huiwen (male), Officer Song Chunhua (female), Yu Wenqiang (male), Service Department Meng Guangcai (male) Wang Zhenyuan (male), etc., came straight to Mr. Gao Changying's home. Liang Daming grabbed Mr. Gao Changying, handcuffed him to the door, then ransacked his home. I was so shocked to see such a mess that they made."

The witness said, "They arrested Mr. Gao Changying and took him to the Police Station. They beat and kicked him all night causing his face to swell and his teeth were all loose. He can only eat hot cereals to this day (he could not chew). The next day, they made him burn under the hot sun the whole day. He was severely injured from being tortured for 24 hours in the Police Station. They took him home the next evening and ransacked his home again. His neighbours saw him beaten to such a degree that they all shed tears. Even a policeman who still had a conscience told his neighbours to collect a petition to have him released; otherwise Liang Daming might beat him to death."

Mr. Gao Changying was detained in the Dashagou Detention Centre. During his detention, Mine CCP Personnel Office Chair Geng Huiwen sent Song Chunhua to Mr. Gao Changying's sister-in-law and brother-in-law's homes to harass them. Several days before Chinese New Year of 2002 (February 12, 2002), Geng Huiuwen and Liang Daming, etc. went to Mr. Gao Changying's home, and threatened Mr. Gao's mother-in-law until she was in tears. Mr. Gao's wife was too scared to go home.

Mr. Gao Changying was sentenced to three years of forced labour, but was rejected by the Camp since he was dying. He was sent back to Dashagou Detention Centre, and detained for five more months. He was released home after being extorted five thousands yuan in cash. He had been constantly harassed by lawless official in the Hongtoushan Copper Mine. Under long term persecution, Mr. Gao Changying died on September 22, 2005.
