Police Brutally Torture Dafa Practitioner Mr. Zhang Xuewen in Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province
(Clearwisdom.net June 29) When Zhang Xuewen, a Dafa practitioner from
Hulan County, Harbin City, was distributing truth-clarification materials, he
was reported to the police, who then took him away to the Hulan County Detention
Center. As soon as he arrived at the detention center, he began a hunger strike
to protest his illegal detention. As of now, he has been on hunger strike for
more than 60 days. The police and judicial department in Hulan County recently attempted to hold
an illegal trial for Mr. Zhang. This did not succeed due to Zhang's determined
resistance. On June 20, the police said that Zhang needed an operation for
appendicitis, and asked his family to pay the detention center. His family
members said, "We have no money. How can you ask for money from us after
torturing him so badly?" Finally, without the presence of family members nor
their signatures, the police ordered the operation, but nothing was found to be
wrong. Right now, Mr. Zhang is staying in the First Detention Center in Hulan
County. Due to the persecution, he is emaciated and in a life-threatening
situation. However, the police in Hulan County Detention Center have not allowed
his family members to visit him, nor let Mr. Zhang seek medical care. Every day,
Zhang just lies on the wooden board, unattended. Recently, without any legal
procedures, he was illegally sentenced to five years in prison. Following are the contact phone numbers for the police department and related
agencies in Hulan County: The Party Committee in Hulan County: 86-451-7321353, 86-451-7321415 Hulan County Police department: Hulan County Detention Center: 86-451-7321847 Hulan County Procuratorial Department: Posting date: 7/11/2003
