On September 30th, 2001, Falun Dafa practitioner Qi Cangyun from Hebei Province was arrested from the Shijiazhuang City Party School by agents from the 610 Office1. He was then taken to the Xinji City Police Department. In the afternoon of the same day, the police savagely beat Qi Cangyun with a large metal pipe, disabling the big and second toes on his left foot and severely injuring the foot itself.

The police officers also used a wooden club to beat him, knocking out one of his teeth. Qi Cangyun was subjected to brutal and inhuman torture at the Xinji City Police Department and later in a detention centre. He was also fined nearly 10,000 yuan2. His workplace spent over 3,000 yuan to treat police officers with a banquet and gifts, and eventually bailed Qi Cangyun out of the imprisonment.
Note
1. "The 610 office" is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems.
2. "Yuan" is the Chinese currency; 500 yuan is equal to the average monthly income of an urban worker in China.
