Practitioners Arrested and Killed by 610 Office Agents in Liaoyuan City, Liaoning Province
(Clearwisdom.net) Mass Arrests of Falun Gong Practitioners Since April 23, 2006, the National Security Team members of the 610
Office of Liaoyuan City illegally arrested over 30 Falun Dafa
practitioners. The Municipal Police, Pi Fuguo, He Kun, and Hou Changzhou
confiscated four computers, printers, and other personal belongings from Ms.
Xiang Lijie and four other practitioners. The police team members told the 610 Office, the National Security Team, and
their supervisors at the police station that these practitioners were a
"gang of anti-revolutionaries." They illegally confiscated assets
worth 10,000 yuan, but reported them as 20,000 to 30,000 yuan to the
provincial level government. The assets actually worth between 20,000 yuan and
30,000 yuan were reported at an inflated value of 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. The
State Security Department urged them to conclude the case within a certain
period of time after learning of this case. The provincial government attached a
great deal of importance to this case, and asked Pi to report to them about the
case every other day. Pi, He, and Hou used all kinds of cruel punishments to obtain forced
confessions from the practitioners. The confessions would gain these officers
more rewards from their supervisors. Ms. Xiang Lijie was tied spread eagle to a
bed. Then she was tortured until she developed serious urinary and bowel
incontinence. They brutally force-fed the practitioners who were on hunger
strikes. Pi and his cohorts ordered all police units in the city to arrest
people so that they could reach the total number reported as
"anti-revolutionists." They have adopted a policy that families of
Falun Gong practitioners are suspects as well. If a practitioner is arrested,
the homes of his or her family members and/or relatives are ransacked and the
family members are interrogated. They arrest people at will without evidence. If
someone is reported to be suspected of practicing Falun Gong, he or she will be
immediately arrested. Even if one book, one picture of Teacher Li Hongzhi, or
one Falun Dafa card is found or if someone just says "Falun Gong is
good," he or she will be arrested. They never apply the human rights of
freedom of belief and speech to Falun Gong practitioners. Those human rights
that are granted in the Chinese Constitution are denied to Falun Gong
practitioners. The Constitution means nothing in the eyes of law enforcers Pi,
He, and Hou. They break the law and abuse human rights every day. Who is there
to punish these people? The April 23 mass arrest is over four months in the past, and the 610 Office
has transferred all the detained practitioners to the Longshan District Procuratorate
for trial. The Procuratorate sent all the practitioners back due to insufficient
evidence. Doesn't this show that what the Liaoyuan City Police Department
officials did was wrong? To this day they haven't even found one "foreign
spy." Practitioner Mr. Zhan Shunlong Dies as a Result of Abuse in Police Custody On the morning of May 26, 2006, Zhang Chuanhong, Director of Liaoheyuan
Police Station, took over 20 people to arrest Falun Gong practitioner Me. Zhang
Shunlong and others who had visited Mr. Zhang's detained brother, also a
practitioner. Director Zhang Chuanhong grabbed Mr. Zhang Shunlong by the hair
and started beating him. Several other police officers assisted. They smashed
Mr. Zhang's head on the support beams of a bridge. Mr. Zhang was covered in
blood. The police then tried to push him into a police vehicle, but he refused
to cooperate with them and his legs stuck out of the vehicle. The police smashed
one of his legs with the car door and broke it. Villagers standing by shouted at
Mr. Zhang to give up and go with them, because they didn't want him to get
beaten up. Once inside the vehicle, his head was shoved into the gap between the
two car seats so that he could not move. Blood mixed with sweat dripped down his
face. The scene was unbearable to watch. Mr. Zhang's wife, Lu Fengling, was also
severely beaten and her nose was broken. All of them were taken to Liaoheyuan Police Station. Mr. Zhang was detained
on the third floor and interrogated by several dozen police officers. Around 10
a.m., he fell from the third floor. The police claimed that he jumped, but two
people failed to prevent his fall, he was handcuffed, he had a broken leg, there
were over a dozen officers monitoring him, and the window was very narrow. It
seems highly unlikely that he even could have jumped. In all probability the
police had a hand in this tragic occurrence. Seeing that he would not survive,
the police tried to avoid being held responsible for his death. At the hospital, Mr. Zhang was only given oxygen and blood. There were no
other efforts made to save his life. Mr. Zhang could not speak, his breathing
was labored, and his head was severely injured. On the morning of May 28, 2006,
Mr. Zhang died. An autopsy was performed immediately and his body was cremated
in spite of his family's protests. The police threatened his wife, saying,
"Don't tell anyone about this. If you do, your whole family will be sent to
prison." Mr. Zhang's wife cooperated for the sake of their two young
children. The police asked Mr. Zhang's wife for money. When she told them that
she did not have any, the police tried to pressure her into selling their
motorcycle, but she refused. Mr. Zhang Shunlong left behind his elderly mother, a wife, and two young
children. There is now nobody to cultivate their contracted land, and they are
in very difficult circumstances. Pi Fuguo, He Kun, Hou Changzhou, Zhang Chuanhong, and others' crimes will one
day be severely punished by the law. Those responsible for crimes against Falun Gong in Liaoyuan City are: Hou Changzhou, Head of Liaoyuan City Police Station (in charge of persecuting
