Chengdou Southwest Jiaotong University Security Officers Violently Arrest an Older Practitioner

On September, 22nd, 2009, officers of the Security Department of Chengdou Southwest Jiaotong University violently arrested a Falun Gong practitioner who is over 60 years old. Following is his report.

I was explaining the facts about Falun Gong to a young man along Lake Jing on September 22nd, 2009, when two security officers came towards me. They yelled at me, "What are you holding in your hands?" They then tried to take Falun Gong materials from my hands. I knew I wasn't doing anything wrong, so I didn't let them touch them. They held me on the seat, and I couldn't move. Then they called for a lot of back up.

One of them yelled, "Beat him! We have nothing to be afraid of!" Thus, they beat me badly with punches and kicks. I was beaten black and blue, and my face was bleeding. I couldn't move or breathe, and was lying on the ground. They tied up my hands with string, causing my hands to swell from the blood restriction.

The officers dragged me from the lake to the security department (about 2,000 metres away), despite the fact that I was over sixty. I was beaten to the ground, with my hands tied, and couldn't move at all. They used my clothing to cover my head, in case people on the street took notice. Two people guarded me (one dragged me with one hand and covered my head with the other hand). They dragged me so hard, I could not breathe.

At that time I heard some kind-hearted person saying that they should not treat older people like this. He also tried several times to carry me on his bike. However, the other officers would not let him do that. They dragged me to the security department and threw me on the cement floor. At this point I couldn't feel my arms and legs. My muscles were badly injured, and there were wounds on my legs everywhere. My trousers were worn out from scraping on the pavement.

When I regained consciousness lying on the floor, I shouted, "Falun Gong is good!" "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good!" They talked about taping my mouth shut, but they were out of tape, so they just let it go.

It has been over twenty days and I still feel pain in my chest. My feet are still swollen and I am having a hard time walking.
