Falun Dafa Practitioners Liu Shufen Tortured to
Death by Mengyin County “610 Office” and Detention Center in Shandong
Province
Falun Dafa disciple Liu Shufen, female, 39
years old, was a resident of Tangzi Village, Andi Town, Yinan County,
Shandong Province, with a Junior High School level of education. She was
illegally arrested by Mengyin County Police Station and Mengyin County
“610 Office” [an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong,
with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and
all other political and judiciary systems] on September 16, 2002.
Later she was illegally detained in Mengyin Detention Center, and was
brutally tortured there. After enduring four months of torture, she died
on January 29, 2003.
On January 31, Liu’s family members were asked
to come to a meeting. They had a meal with Lei Yancheng, Vice Director
of the Mengyin County “610 Office”, and were then sent to a funeral home.
There, they viewed Liu’s body, which was curled up, covered with wounds
and consisting only of skin and bones. The representative from the “610
Office” tried to force Liu’s family member to sign a slip releasing the
body for cremation, while threatening them. However, the family members
insisted on an inquiry, and court doctors conducted an autopsy. The results
showed that her brain was filled with blood. It is important to note that
while Liu was a little too slim, her blood pressure had always been normal.
Especially since she started to cultivate Falun Dafa, she was very healthy.
She remained very firm in her beliefs during detention, and kept studying
the Fa and doing exercises. She strictly conducted herself according to
“Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance”. Her hematoma of the brain and
the wounds on her body obviously were the results of beatings. The Mengyin
County “610 Office” immediately cremated her body, in order to cover up
the murder.
After that, the Mengyin County “610 Office” gave
Liu’s family 4000 Yuan (equal to roughly 8 months of the average urban
worker’s salary). Vice Director of Mengyin County “610 Office” Lei
Yancheng said to them, “You better take the 4000 Yuan, because if you
don’t, you will get nothing. No matter where you go to sue us, it will
be in vain!” This shows how the evil has lost all conscience, doing only
harm, and killing without restraint.
Falun Dafa Practitioners Zhang Dezhen Tortured
to Death by Mengyin County “610 Office” and Detention Center in Shandong
Province
Falun Dafa disciple Zhang Dezhen,
female, 38 years old, single, was a resident of Xiezhuang village, Jiuzhai
Township, Mengyin County, Shandong Province. She had a college-level education,
and was a teacher at the Mengyin County No.6 Middle School (Juizhai Middle
School). Zhang Dezhen was illegally arrested by the Mengyin County “610
Office” and Mengyin County Police on August 13, 2002 (according to the
Lunar Calendar). The evil forces first sent her to the 610 Office brainwashing
class, and then to the Mengyin Detention Center. After enduring four months
of cruel torture, she was tortured to death around January 29, 2003. People
who saw her on January 28, 2003 reported that she was fine on that day,
with only her legs being a little limp.
On January 31, 2003, Zhang Dezhen’s family members
were notified to meet with “610 Office” representatives. Her brother,
Zhang Dewen, and her nephew were taken directly to the funeral home. At
this time, rigor mortis had already set in, indicating that she had died
some time before. Zhang Dezhen, at more than 1.6 meters, was relatively
tall, but her body was curled up, there were wounds on top of the wounds,
and she was highly emaciated. Colleagues from her school had brought her
a change of clothes, but it was impossible to change her, as her body
had become too rigid, so they simply draped the clothes on top of her.
The evil gang of the Mengyin County “610 Office” forced Zhang Dewen to
sign a slip releasing the body for cremation, but he refused. As a result,
Zhang Dewen was beaten brutally, so that his hat fell off. He had no choice
but to tearfully sign the slip. Thus, no autopsy was performed by a court
appointed doctor, and no family member attended the cremation. The evil
forces spread lies saying that Zhang Dezhen had died of a heart attack
in order to cover up their act of murder.
Zhang Dezhen was illegally sent to labor camp by
“610 Office”, because she firmly cultivated Dafa. She had become destitute
and homeless in order to avoid being illegally arrested at home. She was
illegally arrested by security guards in Xintaixei Village Mine in the
winter of 2001, and was then detained in a Mengyin brainwashing class.
She went on hunger strike three times during her detention in order to
protest her illegal detention. She was force-fed by the Mengyin County
Traditional Medicine Hospital, causing her condition to weaken and putting
her life in danger. The Mengyin county “610 Office” did not care about
her life or death, and tried to continue to illegally detain her. When
her family strongly insisted, they were allowed to bring her home from
the brainwashing class. In the spring of 2002, Zhang Dezhen again became
destitute and homeless in order to avoid being illegally arrested at home,
until she was again illegally arrested on September 19, 2002. She remained
firm towards Dafa. Jiang and his regime killed her just because she tried
to be a highly moral person, living according to the principles of “Truthfulness,
Compassion, and Tolerance”.
The Mengyin County Detention Center in collaboration
with the “610 Office” has escalated the persecution towards Dafa practitioners
since the fall of 2002. They brutally beat and tortured Dafa practitioners
who went on hunger strike, force-feeding them salt water. The Mengyin
Police Team was also involved in the illegal arrest, interrogation, persecution,
and killing of Falun Dafa practitioners.
In addition, Mengyin County Falun Dafa practitioners
Wu Zengjian, Zhao Chuanwen, Shi Zenglei and others, who were all illegally
arrested with Liu Shufen are still being detained in Mengyin Detention
Center. We heard there are at least 20 Falun Dafa practitioners still
being illegally detained in the Mengyin brainwashing class or Detention
Center. The evil “610 Office” has spread the word that they will be sentenced.
Falun Dafa practitioners Teng Derong and Gong Shuhua who had been illegally
arrested together with Zhang Dezhen are illegally detained in Linyi City
Detention Center. (Gong Shua’s mother, Hui Zenghua, and younger brother
Gong Peibin are already being illegally detained in a labor camp. Her
younger sister, Gong Shuqin, is missing, her father is overseas on business,
and consequently five members of a family are very miserable) Falun Dafa
practitioner, Gong Maohai, who was also arrested in the sweep is now missing;
Mengyin practitioner Teng Defang (arrested on October 29,2002) has also
been illegally detained in the Linyi Detention Center. Since the latter
two were involved with a Dafa Materials production center, the evil is
trying to sentence them to heavy terms. We are calling for concern from
the international society for these Falun Dafa practitioners’ safety:
stop Jiang and his regime’s killing; release these kind practitioners
as early as possible!
Double Murder of Victim and Witness to the Crime:
What Happened after Police Killed Liu Shufen
Several Falun Gong practitioners from Mengyin County,
Shandong Province were reported to officials while they were distributing
Falun Gong materials. They have now been released after going on hunger
strike and with the help of their righteous thought. Since they had been
detained with Liu Shufen, they were able to report the following to us:
Liu Shufen and Zhang Dezhen were being tortured
together. Liu Shufen was the only witness to Zhang Dezhen’s death. At
that time, Liu Shufen was beaten until she lost her consciousness. The
guards deliberately sent her for brain surgery, saying that something
must be wrong with her brain and forcibly carried her out of her cell.
According to several Falun Dafa practitioners who witnessed the scene,
she was breathing normally and her body temperature was also normal. She
had just temporarily lost consciousness due to the beating. Liu Shufen
died as a result of the surgery. The evil forces pretended that she died
of stroke. She had no history of high blood pressure, and was very healthy
due to her cultivation practice. It is obvious that the evil guards killed
an inconvenient witness.
After Liu Shufen and Zhang Dezhen had been tortured
to death, police went to their relatives’ homes and took away all of their
photos. They are very afraid that their crimes will be exposed. Minghui
net, please expose these facts, and provide these facts to the World Organization
to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong as evidence.
