Police Torture Female Falun Dafa Practitioner Chen Qiulan to Death; He Zhihong Has Been on Hunger Strike for 52 Days to Protest the Abuse

August 27, 2001 |  

(Clearwisdom.net) Female Falun Dafa practitioner Chen Qiulan, who was imprisoned in the Daqing Detention Center for distributing literature that clarified the truth about Falun Dafa, was tortured to death on August 24, 2001. Three other practitioners being held in the same detention center have been on hunger strikes for weeks to protest their illegal imprisonment. Among them, He Zhihong (female) has been on hunger strike for 52 days and is in critical condition.

In July 2001, practitioner Chen Qiulan went out to distribute truth-clarifying flyers to save the world's people. Unfortunately, the police followed and arrested her, then detained her in the Daqing Detention Center. During her illegal imprisonment, Chen Qiulan was tortured brutally. She began to have seizures and lose consciousness, sometimes as often as three times a day. Even when her condition became critical, the prison guards did not care. When hearing the report, the prison guard Hu said, "Don't pay any attention to her, she'll be OK after a while." Under such inhuman treatment and torture, Chen Qiulan died at midnight on August 24, 2001, according to the police station. This is another blood debt owed by Jiang Zemin's criminal group. Detailed information is under investigation.

Currently, dozens of practitioners are illegally imprisoned in the center. Due to inhuman abuse, many are in critical condition. Among them, He Zhihong has been on hunger strike for 52 days, Zhang Xinye for 42 days, and Sun Zhongping for 30 days. Other practitioners have been on hunger strikes of various lengths to protest their illegal detention. We hope that kind-hearted people in the world will pay attention to this matter, and will act immediately to help secure the release of these Falun Dafa practitioners in danger.
