Hu Youliang, a Practitioner from Xishui County, Hubei Province, Died of Torture on January 23, 2002 (Clearwisdom.net) Hu Youliang, male, 48 years old, was a resident of Xishui County, Hubei
Province. He started practicing Falun Dafa in 1996, whereupon his physical and
mental health improved tremendously. Many people around him witnessed this
improvement. But since the evil persecution started on July 20, 1999, he and his
family have never had a single peaceful day.
To clear the reputation of Dafa, Hu Youliang had been both to the Provincial
Government and Beijing to appeal for Dafa, and he had openly joined group
practice.
He had been arrested and tortured many times, but his determination to
practice and safeguard Dafa was never shaken (Clearwisdom.net reported his story
before). In November of 2000, he was forced to leave home to avoid being
illegally arrested. The police from Xishui County tried to find him everywhere,
making it impossible for him to return home. While away from home, he helped
produce truth-clarifying materials and provided them to many areas where people
were eager to learn the truth of Falun Dafa. In December 2001, he was illegally
arrested in Shaoyang City of Hunan Province and brutally tortured in prison. To
resist the persecution, he went on a hunger strike for over 20 days. On January
18, 2002, the police saw that he was in a life-threatening state, and as they
were afraid of taking legal responsibility, they sent him back to his home in
Xishui County. Despite his life-threatening condition, the local police there
still held him in the detention center and kept torturing him until he died on
January 23.
At 9:00AM on January 23, 2002, the police saw that Hu Youliang was dying, so
they finally sent him to a hospital. Soon after, Hu died. After Hu Youliang
stopped breathing, his body temperature remained constant and thus his hands and
feet stayed warm for a long while. However, the police rejected his relatives'
request to take him back home. At 4:30 PM the same day, the police forcibly
drove away all Falun Gong practitioners who came to visit Hu, and cremated his
body.
His relatives described Hu's physical condition as being outrageous: he
looked like a bag of bones, with face and hands swollen. The fact that the
police cremated his body hastily and dared not allow his family to take him home
suggests that they are the same perpetrators who tortured Hu to death. The evil
forces burned his body under the custody of army police to prevent the news
surrounding his death from leaking out. Only afterwards did they inform his
family.
Those murderers in the "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) and the Police Station
brutally kill good people and regard people's lives as nothing. Do these
murderers have any idea, when the heaven and earth become bright again, how they
are going to pay back their bloody debts?
