Falun Gong Practitioner Yuan Shengqian from Zhuwa County, Pengzhou City, Sichuan Province Tortured to Death
(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Yuan Shengqian, 46 years old, was a farmer from
the third squad of the 12th production brigade in Zhuwa County, Pengzhou City, Sichuan
Province. Because he resolutely persisted in his cultivation practice of Falun Gong, he was cruelly tortured. After July 20, 1999, Yuan Shengqian went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa. The Beijing police
unlawfully arrested and beat him. After Yuan was detained in Beijing for more than 10 days, he
was transferred to a detention center in Pengzhou City, where he was held for about 15 days. In 2000, Yuan Shengqian was abducted several times by county government officials and held
in the county government hall for brainwashing. The vicious people from the county government often
violently beat him. Consequently, he was badly injured, his body was covered with wounds and his
clothes soaked with blood. On December 28, 2000, Yuan Shengqian went to Beijing a second time to appeal for Falun Dafa. When
he was arrested in Beijing and sent back to the county government, he was beaten so badly by the
officials from local "610 Office" that he lost consciousness. Later, he was forced to
carry a black sign or stand on a high stool and parade through the streets to be publicly denounced.
Afterwards, he was transferred to a detention center in Pengzhou City, where he was held for one
month; then he was sentenced to 1 and a half years in a forced labor camp. While being imprisoned in
the Xinhua Forced Labor Camp in Mianyang City, he continued to suffer various methods of persecution
and inhuman torture, which caused severe internal injuries. Fearing responsibility, the labor camp
set him free. After returning home, Yuan Shengqian's health continuously declined, and he passed away on
April 27, 2002. Corresponding phone numbers: The Pengzhou Municipal Detention Center in Sichuan Province: 86-28-83882800 |
