Falun Dafa Practitioner Mr. Jiang Yiyun from Jiangyou City, Sichuan Province Tortured to Death by Police
(Clearwisdom.net) Several police officers from the State Security Bureau
in Jiangyou City, Sichuan Province tortured a practitioner to death and
discarded his body on May 17, 2005. The police then spread rumors that the
practitioner committed suicide. There were severe injuries on the head and face,
and the practitioner's body was also covered with wounds from torture, making it
clear that he was tortured to death. The police would not allow the family
members to take the body. Instead, they shipped the body to a crematory for
cremation that same morning. Mr. Jiang Yiyun, 59, was a farmer from Taiping Town, Jiangyou City. He lived
on Jiangjia Lane. He started practicing Falun Gong a few years ago in order to
improve his health. After he started cultivating, he was strict with himself in
following the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion, and
Forbearance." His neighbors all knew that he was a good person. In the winter of 1999, Mr. Mr. Jiang went to Beijing to appeal. The police
arrested him, and detained him for some time before sentencing him to one year
of forced labor in 2000. After he was released, the police from the State
Security Bureau often harassed him at his home. On the morning of April 10, 2005, several police officers from the State
Security Bureau in Jiangyou City broke into Mr. Jiang's home. They beat him and
ransacked his home. At around 11:00 a.m., the police arrested him. He was
released at around 6:00 p.m., and was arrested again at around 9:00 p.m. that
night. There were many eye-witnesses to this event. It was said that the State Security Bureau in Jiangyou City arrested some
practitioners who were distributing truth-clarifying materials. They
thought that there were truth-clarifying materials in Mr. Jiang's home, so they
ransacked his home and arrested him. During his detention, Mr. Jiang was tortured to death by the police. In order
to cover up their crime, the police discarded Mr. Jiang's body in the woods near
Mr. Jiang's home, so that it would appear as if Mr. Jiang was murdered or
committed suicide. At around 8:00 a.m. on May 17, 2005, someone found Mr. Jiang's body and
called the police. Officers from the local police department went to the site.
Many observers were shocked to find the severe injuries on Mr. Jiang's face and
head. The body was covered with wounds. There was also the marking of a rope
around his neck. Finally, Mr. Jiang's family members arrived. They never
expected to find Mr. Jiang's body in the woods, knowing that Mr. Jiang had been
detained by the police. The police requested a quick autopsy. They did not allow the family members
to take the body home. Instead, they shipped the body directly to a crematory
and claimed that Mr. Jiang committed suicide. On the same afternoon, the police
went to Mr. Jiang's home and coerced his family to tell others that Mr. Jiang
disappeared after leaving home. Mr. Jiang's family members were scared and said
very little about his death. After Mr. Jiang's body was cremated, the State
Security Bureau extorted several thousand yuan from his family
members. The family members tried to reason with the authorities, but to no
avail. People responsible: Autopsy medical examiners: Chen Huaguo, Gu Qiang, and Wan Zhengfu 06/02/2005 |
