Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Wang Xinbo from Zibo City, Shandong Province was sentenced to 13 years in prison. He was released before the 2006 Chinese New Year, at the brink of death. He passed away on February 10th, 2006. The following is his story:
Wang Xinbo was 48 years old and had worked at the Zhangdian District Tobacco Company in Zibo City, Shandong Province. Before he started practising Dafa in 1997, he was critically ill but became healthy through practising Falun Dafa. After July 20th, 1999 he went to Beijing many times to appeal for Falun Dafa and he did Dafa exercises in front of his home. He was detained and sent to labour camps several times.
On October 15th, 2000, the local police ransacked his home, arrested him and took him to a detention centre. In 2001 he was sentenced to three years of forced labour for delivering materials exposing the persecution but was later released on medical parole and was further persecuted. He lived in exile to avoid arrest.
In 2003 he was arrested while making materials exposing the persecution. The Zhangjiadian District Court in Zibo City sentenced him to 13 years in prison and he was savagely tortured at the Shandong Province Prison.
In October 2005 the brutal captors deprived him of sleep for four days and four nights in order to "reform1" him [force him give up his belief]. More than ten abusers took turns beating him. In order to resist the persecution, Wang Xinbo didn't eat or drink for four days. When he lost consciousness and showed signs of whole-body oedema, the captors sent him to a police cadre hospital. After the swelling subsided and he had recovered slightly, the hospital gave him three injections of unknown drugs against his will. They sent him home before the 2006 Chinese New Year.
Soon after Wang Xinbo went home, his stomach and legs became extremely swollen and his whole body ached terribly. A hospital diagnosis revealed internal organ damage. Blood drawn from his abdomen was dark purple. He passed away on February 10th, 2006.
During the New Year, Zhangdian District 610 Office2 agents distributed small posters in the Zhangdian District/Zibo neighbourhoods, announcing rewards for the capture of Falun Dafa practitioners. The posters stated that those who expose, report and provide clues to Falun Dafa practitioners' identity and whereabouts would be rewarded with between 500 yuan3 and 2,000 yuan. The name of the brainwashing centre is the District People's Health Education Training Centre.
