Police Brutality: Putting a Dafa Practitioner in a Cage to be Bitten by Mosquitoes
(Clearwisdom.net) Dafa practitioner Hu Aiyun was fortunate to start
practicing Falun Dafa in 1996. Since then, her views about life have changed.
Before she learned to practice Falun Dafa, she was a person who had a strong
attachment to competing for her own benefit, and she had also developed many
diseases. After learning Falun Dafa, she always considered others first when
doing things, and both her mind and body changed dramatically. On July 20, 1999, the Jiang Zemin's persecution policies forced the local
authorities to suddenly confiscate and destroy all Falun Dafa books and launch a
crackdown against Falun Dafa practitioners. Hu Aiyun went to appeal and was
illegally detained many times. During her first appeal, she was detained for
five days. During her second appeal, she did not want the cruel people to arrest
her and she jumped down from the second floor of a hotel to escape. As a result,
one of her feet was injured. After she returned home, she practiced the
exercises and quickly recovered from her injury. She told the officials, "Falun
Dafa is a great way of cultivation practice which can truly elevate people's
morality, and you should not listen to the lies from the evil authorities."
After Hu went to Beijing to appeal for the third time, she was detained. She did
not reveal her name, and she was released after 12 days of detention. When she
went to appeal for the fourth time, the persecution became aggravated. Since she
did not reveal her name, the brutal police transferred her from Beijing to the
Zhao County Detention Center, where the police chief threatened to burn her with
a lighter or beat her with the bottom of a leather soled shoe. However, she was
not intimidated at all by the threats. Seeing that he had no way of changing
her, the police chief said angrily in the end, "I don't want to have anything to
do with her any more. Whoever wants to deal with her, take her." Another policeman put Hu into a steel cage. Her hands were cuffed to the top
of the cage. Inside the cage, she could neither stand straight nor squat down.
They placed the cage, with Hu Aiyun inside it, under a tree. The summer weather
was hot and humid, and the air was thick with swarms of mosquitoes. She was
forced to remain in the cage outside for eight days where she was subjected to
thousands of mosquito bites as the swarms covered her. A person without her
strength of character and personal conviction would not have been able to endure
such suffering. However, with her strong faith in Master, she passed through the
ordeal with Master's protection. During the night, her body was covered with
mosquito bites, however the swelling and allergic reaction faded away during the
daytime. Other inmates in the detention center could not help but shed tears.
She had such strong righteous thoughts that the police ran out of methods to
force her to renounce her belief in Falun Dafa. In the end, they bought a train
ticket and respectfully brought her to the train, telling her, "You can go home
now!" After she returned home, Hu Aiyun encouraged more fellow practitioners to
step forward. She clarified the truth and helped more people see through the
lies fabricated by Jiang's regime. Because of this, she was reported to the
police by a misled person, and was sentenced to two years in brutal Wanjia
Forced Labor Camp, where she continued to clarify the truth to the guards, the
labor camp director, and the inmates. When her term was over, the guards quickly
encouraged her family members to take her home.. However, less than a year after she was released, the police put her name on
their wanted list again and set forth to abduct her. It has already been over a
year since her arrest. Her family members have not been permitted to see her,
and also received the news several days ago that Hu was given a heavy sentence
of eleven years. We all know that only those criminals who have committed severe
crimes are given such a heavy sentence. What crime has Hu Aiyun committed by
believing in the principle of "Truth-Compassion-Tolerance" and seeking to uplift
her morality?! We are exposing the injustice that has happened to Hu Aijun to let the whole
world clearly see the dark side of China, so that they will no longer be
deceived by Jiang's lies.
