Tortured to Death: The Real Story of What Happened to Zhang Li and Fang Lihong
3/6/2003 (Clearwisdom.Net) 1.These are the facts of female Falun Gong practitioner Zhang Li's death by
torture. Zhang Li, forty years old, was forced to leave home to escape
persecution for practicing Falun Gong. The Lishan District Police Department of
Anshan City illegally arrested her on March 3, 2002. As one of the "Most Wanted"
on the black list, she was illegally sentenced to life in prison. During her
imprisonment, the police interrogated and tortured her cruelly on many different
occasions. On August 27, 2002, her abusers tortured her so ruthlessly that her
life was hanging by a thread before she was finally sent to the hospital.
Because the police had denied her any medical treatment until it was too late,
she subsequently died. As confirmed by eyewitnesses, Ms. Zhang Li's trachea and
armpit were sliced open even as she was dying. After each interrogation in the
First Detention Center of Anshan City, others had also witnessed her body scored
with bloody knife wounds. The vicious police wrapped her corpse with a white
cloth to cover their criminal offence. The perpetrators: The 610 Office of Anshan City The First Division of the Anshan City Police Department The Lishan District Police Department of Anshan City 2. These are the events that led up to Fang Lihong's death. Fang Lihong,
male, thirty-eight years old, was a former traffic officer with the Anshan City
Police Department. After Jiang's regime started the persecution against Falun
Gong on July 20, 1999, Mr. Fang continued to practice Falun Gong and refused to
renounce his belief in "Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance." As a result, he
was illegally detained in the police station where he worked. During his initial
detention, four other officers kept a constant watch over him. Several months
later the authorities transferred him by force to the city's brainwashing class,
but he still refused to give up his beliefs. A month later, the police station
sent him to the Anshan City mental hospital (the notorious Kangning Hospital) to
torture him together with another Falun Gong practitioner and fellow police
officer Ma Hongtao, age forty-nine. The mental hospital and the police station authorities threatened,
intimidated and tortured the two practitioners, but couldn't shake their
righteous belief. After suffering sixteen months of inhumane torture, they
walked out of the evil place openly and with dignity. Then, because of pressure
and harassment from the police station, Fang Lihong, his wife, and son were
forced to leave home and became destitute. In December 2001, while telling the
facts about Falun Gong, they were illegally arrested by the Quanzhou City Police
Department in Fujian Province. The police searched their living quarters and
confiscated everything. The entire family was detained in the Quanzhou City
Detention Center, where they suffered inhumane torture. The police deprived them
of sleep for several days to extort a confession, not even sparing their
twelve-year-old son, who was threatened and intimidated and emotionally scarred
as a result. Refusing to cooperate with the evil forces, Mr. and Mrs. Fang went
on a hunger strike to protest. Thirteen days later, on the verge of death, Mrs.
Fang was released . Fang Lihong remained illegally imprisoned until he was
tortured to death on February 8, 2002. Posting date: 3/20/2003
