Criminals of "610" Office Brutally Beat Innocent Falun Gong Practitioners

Falun Gong practitioners who went to appeal during the New Year were illegally imprisoned in the Huanshan Township of Tangchang Town in Pi County and Chen Zhengming and Zhang Xiazhi unlawfully set up a "detention centre" there. Both male and female practitioners were brutally beaten as soon as they were sent to the detention centre. Guards slapped female practitioners in their faces with rulers and practitioners had blood in their noses and on their faces. Male practitioners were beaten even more viciously. Guards also put the name of the founder of Falun Gong on the ground and forced practitioners to trample on it. Those practitioners who refused to do so were brutally beaten; however no practitioners stepped on it.

These practitioners were later transferred to the detention centre of Pi County. Zhou Hong from "610" office and Wu Mingli (female) of the detention centre cruelly tortured practitioners. They not only ordered military policemen to beat practitioners, but also incited criminals to brutally beat practitioners. Once when they beat practitioners, one female practitioner stepped out and said, "You are not allowed to beat practitioners!" They started to beat practitioners even more viciously and also shouted when beating, "We don' beat practitioners. Who sees us beating them?" They shamelessly forced the woman who had spoken out to say, "I don' see practitioners being beaten," while she herself was being beaten.

Moreover, Zhou Gang and Wu Shouqin, deputy directors of the "610" office of Xipu Town and Tang Zhangchao, the secretary of the Town Party Committee, took the lead in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. They led other people to ransack practitioners' homes repeatedly and look for so-called evidence. As they couldn' find any practitioner' "crime," they had to change "criminal detention" to "residence under watch." However, practitioners were forced to "reside under watch" in detention centres and those persecutors totally disregarded the law.
