Police Abduct Ms. Ge Yanwen After Torturing Her Husband to Death
(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Ge Yanwen, 36, was a Dafa practitioner working at the 2nd
Shijiazhuang Chemical Factory in Hebei Province. She had received a college
level education. Since July 20, 1999 when the persecution of Falun Gong started,
she had been abducted and detained numerous times. She and her husband were
forced to leave their home to avoid persecution. Deputies from the Tangu police
station and local affairs office abducted Yanwen from her mother's home on
October 22, 2003. Yanwen's whereabouts are unknown at this time. Yanwen's husband, Ding Lihong, 36, was a locomotive operator at the
Shijiazhuang Railroad Yard. They lived at the Jianming Residential District in
Shijiazhuang City. He had gone to Beijing four times to appeal against the
persecution of Falun Gong and suffered numerous detentions. Their home was also
repeatedly ransacked. He was abducted by the Huaizhong Street police near the
end of August 2001. After 28 days of a hunger strike he was released, but was
forced to leave home. During the Chinese New Year holidays in 2002 (around
February 12, 2002) the Public Security Bureau coerced Shijiazhuang Railroad Yard
to abduct Ding Lihong to the Hebei Provincial Capital Brainwashing Center
(Officially named "Hebei Provincial Capital Judiciary System Education and
Training Center"). He endured endless torture in the center. He was
deprived of sleep for more than a month. He was often force-fed with a high
concentration salt brine and alcohol. He was often beaten. Finally, with his
unwavering faith in Teacher he miraculously escaped from the brainwashing class,
and went to Shanxi Province. He was arrested again in October 2002 and taken to
the Wanbailin police station in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province. Later he was
transferred to the 4th Detention Center and the 109 Hospital in
Taiyuan City. He went on a hunger strike for 15 days. The guards coerced inmates
to force-feed him by tying him to the "Dead man's bed" (a torture
in which a special bed is used to tie up practitioners). He was tortured to
death in the middle of November 2002. From the time Ding Lihong was detained to his final moment near death, the
police in Shanxi Province never released any information about him to his family
and relatives. About one month after his death, his parents were notified to go
to Shanxi Province to verify and claim his body. The police forcibly cremated
the body locally in Shanxi Province. His family brought the urn containing
Lihong's ashes back to Shijiazhuang around December 20, 2002. Within a year of his death, his wife was abducted. Now only the elderly
parents and their children are left behind and without anyone to care for them.
