• Evidence Suggests Ms. Wu Hong Died as a Result of Torture

  2007-01-19
  On January 7th, 2007, Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Wu Hong's body was cremated. The police claim that Ms. Wu Hong was severely injured when she "jumped from a moving vehicle" on the way from a brainwashing class to a detention centre. During the time she was being treated in the hospital, many Falun Dafa practitioners visited her, and discovered that her skull had been fractured, but her surface skin had no scratches or cuts, disproving the claim that she jumped from a moving vehicle. Normally when a person jumps from a moving vehicle, the skin would be badly scratched or cut. Ms. Wu Hong had no breaks in the skin at all, but all her injuries were internal. These were very possibly caused by brutal beatings that were done in such a way so as not to cause visible injuries.
