More Details about the Case of Dafa Practitioner Ms. Wu Jingxia, Who Was Tortured to Death by China's Public Security Police
(Clearwisdom.net)
In 2002, 29-year-old Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Wu Jingxia was tortured to
death by public security police of China. Jingxia was in excellent health due to
the marvelous effects of practicing Falun Gong. She started practicing after
hearing about its healing abilities, because she had been sickly since
childhood. After practicing for a period of time she was free from all
illnesses, and Jingxia developed a firm belief in Master and Dafa.
After July 20, 1999, Jingxia was illegally detained several times. In the
fall of 1999, she was taken away by the local police, and held in criminal
detention for 38 days. Even after suffering many ordeals at the detention
center, Jingxia still practiced meditation there and did the Falun Gong
exercises. Through her family's efforts and with the help of friends she was
released.
In May of 2000, Jingxia decided to appeal in Beijing for Falun Gong. On her
second day there, before going to the Appeals Bureau, she was arrested. The
police escorted her home and fined her 3,000 Yuan.*
In the summer of 2001, Jingxia was forced into a brainwashing center. The
police, led by Zhuang Shantian, deprived the detained practitioners of sleep.
They interrogated the detainees in the middle of the night and tried to pressure
them into writing "Regret Letters," abandoning Falun Gong; otherwise they would
not be set free.
Police arrested her on January 17, 2002 for distributing Falun Gong flyers.
They handcuffed her to the heat pipes at the front door of the police station.
She was then sent to a brainwashing center on January 18. On January 19 the
local police notified her family that she had "committed suicide by hanging."
Jingxia's parents, uncle, and brother rushed to the Weifang hospital, which was
surrounded by police. The police followed them everywhere. The relatives had to
argue for permission to view the corpse. Jingxia had been breast-feeding her
tiny baby, and without nursing for 3 days her breasts would have been very sore.
The police had tortured her by targeting this area. There were four to five deep
depressions on her chest from electric baton shocks. The police tried to hide
this fact by covering the area with pieces of paper. Her face was also covered
with paper tissues hiding the blood trickling out of the corner of her mouth.
Her lower back and thighs were beaten so severely that they had dark bruises.
The beatings had fractured one of her thighbones. There was also a red mark on
her neck.
On the same day, her family thought they were being taken to the city hall
for an explanation of the handling of the event but were actually taken to a
crematorium which was guarded by police. An officer said, "Let them see the kid"
and then Jingxia's father and uncle realized that the police were going to
cremate her corpse. The family refused to allow the cremation and commented,
"After all, the Communist Party only knows how to continually lie. Their every
word is dishonest." Her uncle could not be placated so he grabbed her father and
ran out of the crematorium, with the police following.
Jingxia's family could not endure this grief so they sued the Weifang City
Police Department. The man in charge of that office hinted that, "This is a
wining suit for you. But today if you win, tomorrow we'll all be fired and have
no means to support ourselves."
To this day the telephone at her home is tapped. Her family has lost its
freedom. Her parents grieve the loss of their daughter. But there is no one to
complain to and no way for justice to be served. Thus all of Jingxia's relatives
suffer the pains of grief and injustice.
