Belated Report: Two Falun Dafa Practitioners Tortured to Death in Gongyi City, Henan Province
(Clearwisdom.net) Twenty-Year-Old Falun Dafa Practitioner Chang Baoli Beaten to Death by Police In November 1999, Mr. Chang Baoli, only 20 years old, went to Beijing to
validate the Fa. He was arrested in Beijing, and sent back to the Gongyi City
Police Station where police beat him to death on the very first day. Mr. Chang Baoli was the son of a Coal Mine Administration worker at a
Provincial Forced Labor Camp in Jiajinkou Town, Gongyi City. His father and two
older sisters, Ms. Chang Wenxiang and Ms. Chang Chunxiang, are all Falun Dafa
practitioners. In November 1999, after eighteen Falun Dafa practitioners from Gongyi City
had gone to Beijing to validate the Fa, Chang Baoli, his two sisters and another
practitioner, Ms. Chang Chunqin, joined the effort by going to Beijing together
to validate the Fa. There they were arrested and sent back to Gongyi City, where
the three women were locked in Gongyi City Detention Center, and Mr. Chang Baoli
was sent to Gongyi City Police Station. Du Jie, head of the Political Security Office, and Shen Youkai, from the City
Police Station, instructed police to mercilessly beat Chang Baoli. Du Jie
shouted, "Beating one to death won't matter; it will be counted as a
suicide." Mr. Chang Baoli was beaten unconscious and then sent to the
hospital to be resuscitated. The doctor found a metal wire still attached to his neck. Chang Baoli's
father asked the police, "Even though he is dying, you still won't remove
the torture device?" At that point, Du Jie and his accomplices removed the
wire from his neck. Due to the severity of his wounds, he could not be revived,
and 20-year-old Chang Baoli died from the police beating. Directly responsible parties: Gongyi City Police Station, Political Security
Office Head Du Jie and Shen Youkai. Falun Dafa Practitioner Di Xishun from Gongyi City Was Tortured to Death Fifty-year-old Mr. Di Xishun lived at No.13 Group, Jiajinkou Village,
Jiajinkou Town, Gongyi City. He was detained in the Gongyi City Brainwashing
Class and the detention center because he was firm in his Falun Dafa cultivation
and because he continued to clarify the truth. He was tortured until all that
was left of him were skin and bones, and his whole body had become swollen. He
died at home shortly after being released. Mr. Di began cultivating Falun Dafa in March 1999, and he became the
volunteer Falun Dafa assistant in Jiajinkou Township. He was unshakable toward
Dafa, diligently cultivating and actively spreading the Fa, in order for more
people to obtain it. At that time, there were more than four hundred people
practicing Falun Dafa in Jiajinkou. After July 20, 1999, the Jiang regime began the persecution, and fabricating
lies to slander Falun Dafa. In order to restore the reputation of Falun Dafa and
the legalization of practicing it, Mr. Di and several other practitioners made
their way to Beijing to validate the Fa. The Central Government Appeal Office
was turned into an arresting office, and they were all detained. Mr. Di and
other practitioners were all sent back to Jiajinkou Police Substation, where
they were tortured by being forced to kneel on concrete steel bars while cuffed
and shocked with electric batons. The police sent Mr. Di to Gongyi City
Detention Center. On January 22, 2001, Mr. Di's family borrowed more than ten thousand yuan (1)
to exchange for his release, while he was being so tragically tortured. After returning home, Mr. Di continued to clarify the truth to people. In
March 2001, the town government and local "610 Office" (2)
arrested him and sent him to the Brainwashing Class held at the Longfeng Hotel,
located in Xihuanluwaigou, Gongyi City. Even in the brainwashing class, he
persisted in studying the Fa, sharing understandings with fellow practitioners,
inspiring them and compassionately clarifying the truth to the Brainwashing
Class workers. Because he never allowed himself to become brainwashed, they sent
him and several other practitioners to Gongyi City Detention Center, where he
continued to study the Fa and clarify the truth to fellow detainees, allowing
many people to realize that Falun Dafa is good. He was later tortured until
there was nothing left of him but skin and bone, and his whole body had become
swollen. The police were afraid to take responsibility for his imminent death,
and sent him home in October 2001. The government officials in Jiajinkou Town
kept sending people to harass him at home. His health never recovered, and Mr.
Di Xishun passed away on May 15, 2002. (2) "610 Office": an agency specifically created to persecute Falun
Gong with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all
other political and judiciary systems.
