Mr. Wu Jiuping Died as Result of Persecution in Anhui Province

Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Wu Jiuping was an employee of the Tianchang City People's Hospital in Anhui Province. On November 22nd, 2007, four thugs went to his home. Subsequently Mr. Wu died after falling from the fourth floor. The four left the scene without making any effort to help him.

Mr. Wu Jiuping, in his 30s, lived in Tianchang City, graduated from the Bengbu Nursing School, and was employed by the Testing Department of Tianchang City People's Hospital. He began practising Falun Dafa in 1996. He was sentenced to two years of forced labour in 2001 and three years in prison in 2003, with two years of probation.

At around 4:00 p.m. on November 22nd, 2007, Xia Wenshi, male, head of the hospital security office, along with Domestic Security Division Head Chong Sicao, male, (also head of the Tianchang City 610 Office¹) of the Tianchang City Police Department, and two police officers whose names are being investigated went to Mr. Wu Jiuping's home, a new fourth floor apartment prepared for after Mr. Wu's upcoming wedding. They tried to arrest him. The details of what happened are under investigation. Mr. Wu's neighbour on the first floor heard a loud noise, thought something had fallen from upstairs, and found Mr. Wu on the ground. The neighbour called out for help and saw the four thugs quickly leaving, despite the fact that Mr. Wu was still moving on the ground.

It is not certain who called the ambulance, but only one rescue worker stepped out of the ambulance, carried Mr. Wu into the vehicle, and rushed him to the Tianchang City People's Hospital, where Mr. Wu worked. Soon after, more than a dozen police officers came to seal Mr. Wu's home. Mr. Wu died in hospital at around 8:00 p.m. that same day.

According to an eyewitness, Mr. Wu was still moving after he fell. He was wearing his white lab coat, which was substantially stained with blood. Sources said Mr. Wu was talking half-consciously after arriving in the hospital. The left side of his face was severely swollen, and his left eye was almost blinded. His whole back and lower body were covered with bruises. His left pelvis was crushed, and his left leg was broken. On the evening of November 22nd, 2007, the hospital was barricaded by police. The police told the public that Mr. Wu jumped from the building of his own accord. Mr. Wu's bride-to-be is a nurse working at the same hospital. She and his family are all being closely monitored, and they are not allowed to be seen.
