Falun Gong Practitioner Xiang Changyin Dies from Torture, and Other Information About the Persecution in Suining City, Sichuan Province

By a practitioner from Sichuan Province

(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Xiang Changyin from Laochi Village, Suining City in Sichuan Province had already been persecuted in a forced labor camp prior to his arrest in June 2004 while he was clarifying the facts about Falun Gong to people. He was tortured, unlawfully sent to forced labor for four years and died on March 11, 2005 as a result of torture. The following is his story:

Mr. Xiang Changyin was from Laochi Village, Suining City. As he was firm in his Falun Gong practice, he had been persecuted many times. In 2001 he was illegally sentenced to forced labor for one and a half years. After his return from the labor camp, he continued clarifying the facts and validating Dafa. He lived in Duanjiadian Village in Suining City and made his living driving a passenger tricycle.

During the night of June 15, 2004, someone named Yuan from Laochi Village learned where Xiang Changyin lived. On the morning of June 17, Yuan, along with officers from the Kaixuan Police Station from the City National Security Team broke into Xiang Changyin's home and forcibly took him away. He was illegally incarcerated in the Lingquansi Detention Center. There, the lawless people deprived him of sleep for seven days.

Xiang Changyin was then sentenced to four years of forced labor. As he suffered from inhuman torture in the detention center, he was at the brink of death. The criminal officials attempted to incarcerate him at the forced labor camp, but the labor camp refused to accept him.

When Xiang Changyin was sent back home, his life was in danger. He passed away on March 11, 2005.
