  2007-10-31
  An October 11th, 2007 news item on the Minghui website [Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net] shocked and deeply saddened me--the death as a result of torture of Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Wang Yuhuan.

A good person who believed in the principles of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance" was tortured to death by the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP), simply because she exposed the facts of the persecution of Falun Gong.

• Practitioner Tortured - Police Chief Responsible for the Arrest Meets Untimely Death

  2007-10-28
  "Paoliao", in Qianxi dialect, is to put handcuffs and shackles on a person, and then use a chain of less then 50 cm. to tie both together. When a person is being "paoliaoed", he would have to keep his body bent at more than 90 degrees if he were to stand. To move from one place to another he has to bend over and slowly inch his way along. Practitioner Chuan Zhiwu was savagely tortured this way for a whole month. Finally he was let up when the district attorney's office did not find sufficient evidence and refused to issue the arrest warrant. During this period, they hit him that his face was bruised and swollen. His neck also swelled badly, so that he was unable to eat. Fu said grimly: " We'll force-feed you if you dare go on a hunger strike." Under such brutal and degrading torture, Chuan very soon turned into a living skeleton.
