(Clearwisdom.net) After Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Liu Zhirong from Qingyang City, Gansu Province was tortured to death in Tianshui City's Third Prison (see http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2006/1/19/69135.html), the Prison Administration cremated his body without notifying his family and sent his ashes back to the Qingyang City Funeral Home. They have not responded to his family in any way. They lied to them, saying that Mr. Liu Zhirong died from suicide.

Because their fellow practitioner was tortured to death, Falun Dafa practitioners Mr. Xu Feng, Mr. Guan Qiang, and four others went on a group hunger strike that has been going on since January 11. They were all transferred from the Dingxi Prison together with Mr. Liu Zhirong. They have been on hunger strike for seven days now, and are all very weak.

We hereby call on all kind-hearted people in the world to express their concern over Mr. Liu Zhirong's death by torture and those six practitioners on hunger strike, and to demand their unconditional release.
