Mr. Bao Yongsheng from Yichun City, Heilongjiang Province Arrested and Tortured by Police

On December 2nd, 2008 at around 4:00 p.m., Yang Huiqiu, director of Jinshan Police Station in Dafeng District, Yichun City, Heilongjiang Province took several policemen with him to arrest Falun Gong practitioners Mr. Bao Yongsheng and Mr. Wang Jun at their workplace. The policemen tried many times to extort a confession from Bao Yongsheng using torture. Wang Jun was taken to Suihua Forced Labour Camp.

Chinese Communist Party officials established a so-called special group which was made up of Che Mingxin, director of the Public Security Bureau, deputy director Ding Dezhi, criminal police team leader Ye Yan and assistant team leader Tao Xuwei. They first forcefully locked up Bao Yongsheng at Jinshantun Detention Centre. They sent police officers to Bao Yongsheng's mother-in-law's home, threatening the 80-year-old woman, and forcing his mother-in-law and brother-in-law to sign an arrest warrant. Because his mother-in-law didn't know how to write, the officers wrote her name on the arrest warrant themselves. Then, with this arrest warrant, they took Bao Yongsheng to Xilin Detention Centre.

Earlier, on April 7th, 2002, Zhang Xinguo and four others from the Political Protection Section, had stormed into Bao Yongsheng's home, forcibly carried him into the car and took him to the Political Protection Section of the Public Security Bureau. The deputy director of the bureau Qi You and internal officers Li, Huang and Luo beat him. They hit all parts of his body with a 5 cm. (2 in.) thick wooden stick. The deputy director forcefully beat his lower abdomen and the right side of his head, causing Bao Yongsheng to immediately lose consciousness. They continued beating him after he regained consciousness. They hit him hard on the lower parts of his body and he was not able to move his right leg normally afterwards. At night, officers locked up him and another practitioner at the detention centre with their mouths sealed with tape. Bao Yongsheng didn't recover for several months. Bao Yongsheng was sentenced four years of imprisonment and was put in Jiamusi Prison.
