The Thug-Like Behaviour of Train Station Policemen in Sanhe County, Hebei Province
2007-03-20
Some practitioners and I went to Beijing to appeal on behalf of Dafa in October 1999. The police authorities at the Sanhe County Train Station arrested us when we passed by. The policemen there intentionally verbally abused and beat the practitioners held there everyday. They unlawfully interrogated and tried to extract confessions from us. We were shocked with electric batons, and they confiscated our cash and identification. They performed illicit body searches on the female practitioners. Two male officers put the female practitioners in separate rooms, locked the doors, and drew down the window blinds. They forced us to take off our shoes and socks and our clothes down to our underwear. When they didn't find cash on us, they groped us over, molesting us thoroughly. -

How a Doctor Suffered from Persecution
2007-03-17In October 1999, I went to Beijing to appeal. When I arrived at Tiananmen, a soldier asked me who I was. I said that I was a Falun Gong practitioner and I wanted to visit the government appeals office. I was taken to Qianmen Police Station. I refused to tell them my name and address. To punish me, they handcuffed my arms behind my back, one from above and another from below. They then changed their tactics and hung me up by my hands to a steel cage. My toes could barely touch the floor. The officers closed the door, turned off the light, and left me there alone. With my body weight on my hands, I felt as if I was being deformed. My body felt like it was being torn to pieces. After a long time, the officers lowered me down. This torture did not stop until the next morning. I could not move my hands for a long time. -
