An Eyewitness Account of the Torture that Led to the Death of Dafa Practitioner Ms. Bai Xiuhua in 2002
(Clearwisdom.net) In April 2002, the Harbin Anti-Riot Squad and the
Shuangcheng police joined forces to arrest four practitioners. I was one of
those arrested. Ms. Bai Xiuhua, a practitioner who worked as a household
registrar in the local police station, was persecuted to death on August 28,
2002. The following is an attempt to recapture the events of that time when she
was force-fed at the Wanjia Labor Camp hospital. At the beginning of August 2002, Ms. Bai was brought to the prison cell I was
in. She couldn't function by herself at the time, so a couple of helpers
supported her and put her in bed. The police officer handcuffed her left arm to
the bed, pressed down her right arm and instructed a medical doctor to
administer an intravenous drip and then force-fed her at the same time. While the force-feeding was in progress, I saw the food administered through
her nose spew out of her mouth. The police officer incessantly slapped her
cheeks, yelled at her, and tormented her. After this torture she was barely breathing so they called a medical doctor
for a physical examination. The doctor said, "Ms. Bai's lung has been
filled with water for a while." The hospital personnel knew that she was
dying and that the police officer had brought her there to persecute her
further. I asked Ms. Bai how she had ended up at the Wanjia Labor Camp. She could talk
only in a weak voice at the time. She uncovered her wrists and ankles to show
the marks left from wearing handcuffs and shackles that were forced on her while
she was in Qichu, from where she said she had been sent. She had refused food
for over a month and a half at Qichu, and she had felt she was at the end of her
rope, so she tried to escape by jumping from the upper floor. The fall broke her
spine. The police officer at Qichu sent her to the Wanjia Labor Camp, which
refused to accept her, citing her physical condition. The Qichu police asked
Acheng police officers to take her back to Qichu, but instead they took her to
the Wanjia Labor Camp hospital. We were in the prison cell together for seven days. I was released after
seven days, and she died three days after from the persecution. (Case Information: Ms. Bai Xiuhua was 40 years old. She was a policewoman and
acted as the household registrar at the police station in Jiaojie Town, Acheng
City. She was discharged from her duties because she was a Falun Dafa
practitioner. She was illegally arrested three times. She was again unlawfully
arrested on July 8, 2002, and imprisoned at the Second Prison Center of Acheng.
She later was transferred to the Wanjia Labor Camp. She suffered brutal torture
while imprisoned and died on August 28.)
