Because Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Zhou Huimin was persecuted to death by the Security Bureau in the Wuhou Region of Chengdu City through torture while extorting a confession, the families and friends of Gu Huaibing hope that the public will pay attention to Gu's case to prevent a similar tragedy from happening again.

Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Gu Huaibing was arrested at his job by officers from the Tiaosanta Police Station on the evening of July 21st, 2009, and he was detained on criminal charges the next day. On August 5th-6th, his lawyer requested a meeting with him but was turned down by the team leader of the National Security Team in Wuhou.

On August 13th, two attorneys, Lan zhixue and Li Jinglin, brought suit against the Procuratorate of Chendu City and the relevant departments. The team leader of the National Security Team of Wuhou violated the law by denying the requested meeting between the lawyers and Mr. Gu, hindering the attorneys and depriving the attorney's right to see their client.

The lawsuit pointed out that the individuals and the relevant departments in the detention centre of Chengdu City, the Executive Department of the Security Bureau in Wuhou region of Chengdu City and the National Security Team are responsible for safeguarding the law. If they don't act according to the law, they are hindering the law. There was another instance where the National Security Team of Wuhou violated the law in the case of eleven Falun Gong practitioners including Zhong Fangqiong.

Between the summer and autumn of 2007, eleven Falun Gong practitioners including Zhong Fangqiong were arrested by the National Security Team of Wuhou at their homes, at their jobs, and while on their way to work. Almost all were imprisoned at a brainwashing centre in Chengdu City for over two months. The brainwashing centre itself is an illegal place which has no right to restrict the freedoms of people. The attorneys for the eleven Falun Gong practitioners pointed out that, "The imprisonment of our clients in any kind of brainwashing centre are open crimes."

Besides imprisonment, in the brainwashing centre, the so-called "inspectors" from the National Security Team of Wuhou set up an interrogation room and severely tortured practitioners. The cruelty is beyond description. According to the in-court statement by Zhong Fangqiong, the members of National Security Team of Wuhou including Wang Pengfei, Yuan Maojie, and others tortured her using handcuffs, a strong light shone directly into her eyes, deprivation of sleep for 24 hours and all kinds of wicked and cruel torture for over two weeks. In addition, they used torture tools to stab her back and thighs, and struck her face using their fists and spindles. She passed out twice from the torture. They then spread black mustard on her already distorted face, on her eye lids, temples, lips and nostrils, which disfigured her face even more.

Liu Jia and other Falun Gong practitioners also stated in court that the torture they suffered including deprivation of sleep for fifteen days, having mustard spread on them, the muscles of their inner thighs pinched, etc. Zhou Huimin, a practitioner who was arrested along with Zhong Fangqiong, was persecuted to death by the hospital designated by the detention centre. Given the reasons above, over ten attorneys from Beijing proposed reporting the fault of the Director of the Security Bureau of Wuhou, and the direct leader of the National Security Team of Wuhou.

Just as the attorney for Zhong Fangqiong stated, the so-called cases for Zhong Fangqiong and other Falun Gong practitioners are, "The reflection of the reality that individuals from national security organizations violate human rights. In other words, those cases were concocted by those people."

Gu Huaibing may now also become a stage prop for them to get rewards. All his families and friends are very concerned.
