Dafa Practitioner Beaten to Death by Police in Jiangxi Province

On the morning of August 28, 2002, officers from the Politics and Security Division of the Wuning County Police Department kidnapped Dafa practitioner Chen Jianning. They beat him to death on the same afternoon. The police lied and claimed Chen Jianning committed suicide. The following are the details of his case:

On August 28, six thugs, including police from Wuning ”the 610 Office” and police personnel from Shidu Township police station, went to Chen Jianning's home and forcibly arrested him and took him away. They claimed his arrest was to investigate the source of truth clarification CDs. Later that day, they beat him to death.

After Chen Jianning died, the police were afraid of other Dafa practitioners going to the county government to investigate the cause of his death, so they sent a large group of police to all villages where Falun Gong practitioners live, and spread a lie that Chen Jianning committed suicide. They ordered these practitioners not to go out to appeal. The police also stayed in these villages throughout the night to enforce these orders.

On the morning of August 29, some high-ranking officials, including the president of the People’s Congress and Jiujiang Area Medical Examiner, met with Chen Jianning's family. They lied and threatened Chen Jianning's family members; the officials showed the family the so-called autopsy report and witness report. They put great pressure on Chen Jianning's family to start funeral preparations, and said they would pay 15,000 Yuan. They also threatened that if Chen Jianning's family appealed or sued, then they would pay no compensation at all.

When the family asked to see Chen Jianning's body, they saw that the thugs had put a new suit on the body, and makeup had also been applied. When the family asked to see the original clothing worn by Chen Jianning, they were told that it had been burned. The body was then put in the freezer of the county funeral parlour to await burial. The family was forced to sign the compensation agreement of 15,000 Yuan.

Another young man was thus abused and murdered by police under Jiang's dictatorial regime.
