• Mr. Li Xinliang from Donggang, Liaoning Province Died as a Result of Torture and Severe Abuse during Years in Detention

  2012-04-03
  Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Li Xinliang, 52, started to practise Falun Gong in 1997. After the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began to persecute Falun Gong more than 12 years ago, Mr. Li endured years of persecution for his belief. During the period of the Beijing Olympics, prison officials treated Falun Gong practitioners more brutally. Mr. Li was forced to do hard labour with other inmates, but they did not allow him to sleep in the cell, afraid that his TB would spread to other inmates. He was therefore forced to sleep in the work area, without bedding, on the cold concrete floor. He died on January 25th, 2012 as a result of torture and severe abuse suffered in Chinese Communist prisons.
