(Clearwisdom.net) The family of Dafa practitioner Mr. Yan Li from Jinzhou
City, Liaoning Province was notified on December 5, 2005, that Yan Li died under
the persecution from the police in Inner Mongolia. The local police offered
5,000 yuan in exchange for the family's silence. Yan Li's wife was
at first overwhelmed and confused, and then said, "Yan Li wasn't supposed
to die. I won't take it, even if they give me 500,000 yuan, not to mention 5,000
yuan." She is trying to get a lawyer to obtain justice. Yan Li was arrested inside a residential building near Hata Street Bank in
the Hongshan District, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia by officers from the Chifeng
City Police Department National Security Division and from the Hongshan District
Police Department. He was detained at the Hongshan District Detention Center
where he was tortured to death between November 24 and December 7. The local
justice, judicial and legal system colluded in covering up the truth about this
case. The details about Yan Li's death await further investigation. Below is the information we have obtained: According to the staff at the Hongshan Detention Center clinic, Yan Li was
wearing only a sweatshirt and sweat pants when he was sent to the detention
center. It was -21o C (-6o F) in Chifeng City, and the detention center
authorities didn't allow Yan Li to bring any additional clothing or bedding. On November 24, officials from Chifeng City Police Department phoned Yan Li's
family and told them to wait for a package. At 10:00 a.m. on December 5, Yan
Li's wife Yuan Yingping phoned the Hongshan District National Security after
failing to receive the package. A woman told Yuan Yingping that Yan Li was at
the brink of death. She urged Yan Li's family to hurry to Chifeng City as soon
as possible, "or you will not see him for the last time." Yuan Yingping took a long distance bus and rushed to the Hongshan District
Detention Center in Chifeng City, arriving at 7:00 p.m. He Liang, the guard who
received Yuan Yingping said, "Yan Li is doing fine." "He is being
treated at the best hospital in Chifeng City." Then, He Liang phoned Bu Ren
and Liu at the Hongshan District Police Department National Security Division.
The two police officers confirmed Yuan Yingping's identity, but refused to let
her see Yan Li at the hospital because "it's too late." They sent her
to an Internship Hotel near the No. 1 Technical School in Chifeng City and told
her to wait for information. By 10:30 a.m. the next day, Yuan Yingping had not heard anything from the
authorities. She anxiously went to the Hongshan District Police Department and
talked to Bu Ren, in charge of the Hongshan District National Security Division,
and officer Liu Dui. Bu Ren said, "Yan Li passed away. Yan Li was dead the
first time I called you." Yuan Yingping was shocked and didn't know what to say. She finally said,
"I don't know who called me. I was waiting for the package you said you
were going to send me." Bu Ren said, "I was kidding with you. Yan Li
is at the hospital right now." He leaked the truth again when he saw Yuan
Yingping holding a large package, "Is that the shroud you bought for
him?" The authorities told her that she could not see Yan Li because he was still
being treated in the ER. They told her to go back to the hotel and wait. In the morning of December 7, Yuan Yingping again went to the Hongshan Police
Department. Bu Ren and Liu Dui told her in a firm tone, "Yan Li died."
The police took her to the Intensive Care Unit on the fifth floor of the No. 2
Hospital in Chifeng City. Yuan Yingping saw Yan Li's body covered with a piece
of white cloth. Yuan Yingping removed the cloth and saw her husband stark naked
and lying on his back. His body was cold and rigid, but his eyes were wide open.
She lost control and cried out loud. After Yan Li's death was confirmed, his wife Yuan Yingping phoned other
family members who went to Chifeng City. The plainclothes police officers
strictly monitored Yan Li's family. They even followed them when they made phone
calls and went to the restroom, which asserted tremendous pressure on Yan Li's
family. At 9:30 a.m. on December 8, personnel from the Hongshan District Detention
Center, the Hongshan Police Department, including the head prosecutor at the
procuratorate and the medical examiner, hastily announced the cause of death and
the treatment of Yan Li's body. The police department wrote a so-called
agreement and coerced Yan Li's family into signing it. The "agreement"
is reproduced and reads as follows: After negotiation efforts between the Chifeng City Procuratorate and the
Chifeng City Police Department, the Hongshan District Police Department and Yan
Li's family, they have reached the following agreement: The above photo shows the agreement Yuan Yingping signed under
coercion from the local judicial officials and police, when she was not in her
right mind due to grief, confusion and shock. This "agreement" fully
demonstrates how deft the Chinese Communist Party is at villainous methods to
cover up its crimes and deceive people. Yuan Yingping was mentally traumatized by the sudden death of her husband.
The local judicial official and police officers took advantage of her mental
state and coerced her into signing the agreement. After she returned to the hotel, Yuan Yingping calmed down and left the hotel
when the police who watched her were eating. Yuan Yingping told us, "Yan Li
died such a horrible and suspicious death. I won't take it if they offer me
500,000 yuan, not to mention 5,000 yuan." She is trying to get a lawyer and
prosecute the criminals. After Yuan Yingping left, the officials at the Chifeng National Security
Bureau were very nervous and combed the whole city looking for her, including
large hotels, hostels, the railroad and the highway. They detained the rest of
Yan Li's family at the Internship Hotel. Before 8:00 a.m. on December 9, the
authorities forced six of Yan Li's family members into seven cars with the
judicial, legal and justice systems' insignias on them. Without Yuan Yinping's
presence, Yan Li's oldest brother signed an agreement to allow the speedy
cremation of Yan Li's body. According to other Dafa practitioners, Yan Li worked at the Niuerhe Textile
Mill in Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province. He started practicing Falun Gong in
December 1995. He was once assigned to the posts of general coordinator,
assistant to the division head, assistant to the head of the Production
Division, and assistant to the head of the workshop at different times of his
career. He was awarded the title "Advanced Worker" for many years. Before July 20, 1999, Yan Li bought Dafa books and videotapes to disseminate
Dafa in a dozen nearby villages. After the persecution began, Yan Li went to
Beijing nine times to clarify the truth to the government and to uphold his
belief, and was fired because of it. He was detained twice during his appeal and was held at Jinzhou City Custody
Center. During the first detention between August 14, 1999 and September 14,
1999, Wen Shizhen, governor of Liaoning Province at the time, personally issued
an order "no reform, no release" specifically regarding Yan Li. He was
held at Jinzhou City Forced Labor Camp for two years, beginning on October 25,
1999. He persisted in his belief and was savagely tortured. He was detained in
solitary confinement for several months. After the two-year term expired, his
term was extended by nine months and he held a hunger strike. He was force-fed
and was not released until he could not eat and was at the brink of death.
During the one month he stayed at home, he could only eat liquid food and could
not take care of himself. He needed help getting out of bed. In September 2004, Yan Li was betrayed when he clarified the truth on a bus
going to Kalaqinqi. He was detained at the Jinshan Police Department in Chifeng
City. He held a hunger strike for nine days and was released when he was again
at the brink of death. Yan Li was tortured to death within a dozen days after his last arrest.
According to the police, copies of the Nine Commentaries on the
Communist Party and truth materials were found in the home of the
fellow practitioner, where Yan Li was arrested. Yan Li was charged with
"overthrowing state power." Mr. Yan Li held a hunger strike after the
arrest to resist the persecution. Beginning from November 26, the police
force-fed him at the detention center and sent him to a hospital for emergency
treatment on December 4. ****************************************************************** It has been learned that another practitioner, Wang Xiaodong, pseudonym Li
