Practitioner Ma Chunli from Dehui City, Jilin Province Near Death from Torture, Officials Refuse to Release Her
(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Ma Chunli from Dehui City in
Jilin Province was illegally arrested and persecuted. Agents came
from the Dehui City 610 Office and the State Security Brigade and
sentenced her to six years in prison. Her physical condition deteriorated badly
due to long-term persecution. Because of her poor health, the prison declined to
accept her. Then she was transferred for treatment to the hospital affiliated
with the province police department. The hospital refused to accept her,
considering her health beyond cure. But the persecutors continued to keep her in
the Dehui City Detention Center despite her health condition. Fourteen months
have passed since her arrest. The following is her story: Ms. Ma Chunli, thirty-five years old, worked for the Dehui City Water
Conservancy Department. Prior to practicing Falun Gong, she suffered from breast
cancer. All attempts to cure the cancer had been futile. She started to learn
Falun Dafa in 1997 and recovered quickly. To allow more people to benefit from
Falun Dafa, Ms. Ma Chunli had been validating the healing power of Dafa to
others through her own experience. Since July 20, 1999, when the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), under the
direction of Jiang Zemin's political regime, flagrantly launched the persecution
of Falun Gong, Ms. Ma Chunli was arrested five times. Incarceration, gross abuse
and mistreatment brought her near death a few times. On December 14, 2004,
policeman Ge Xuquan and others from the State Security Brigade at the Dehui City
Police Department arrested Ma Chunli again while she was walking along a road.
Later they tortured her to make a confession. After that, they sent her to the
Dehui City Detention Center and continued to persecute, mistreat and abuse her. Ms. Ma Chunli started a hunger strike to protest their actions. The detention
center villains subjected her to all kinds of violent methods: a torture called
the "Stretching Bed," (1) handcuffed and hung up, tied up with ropes,
beatings, violently force-feeding in which the perpetrators pried her teeth open
with a tool and all kinds of other evil tactics they could dream up. Ms. Ma
Chunli has been on hunger strike for one year and two months. She was at death's
door several times. Each time, the officials sent her to the Dehui City Hospital
for emergency treatment. Ms. Ma Chunli has been tortured to the point of looking
like a skeleton and she weighs only fifty Jin (55 lbs). She could die at any
time. Ms. Ma's husband Sun Qian was sentenced to twelve years in prison for
practicing Falun Dafa. Their seven-year-old child was left home alone. The child
had to eventually be placed in foster care. In spite of this, personnel from the
Dehui City Police department, together with those from the City Procuratorate
and the City Court framed Ms. Ma and fabricated charges to sentence her to six
years in prison. Because Ms. Ma was in critical condition, the prison refused to
accept her. The hospital affiliated with the police department considered her
physical condition incurable and also refused to accept her. Nevertheless, the
vicious CCP officials continued to keep her in the Dehui City Detention Center. According to the law, after Ms. Ma Chunli was sentenced to prison her family
should have been permitted to visit her. The detention center authorities
deliberately ignored this and forbade a family visit, saying it was a decision
by their upper level authorities. The Dehui City Court ignored human rights and
issued a so-called "decision not to allow the sentence to be served outside
of the prison." The lawless CCP officials not only persecute the good
people in society, but at the same time they slander practitioners by accusing
them of not caring for their families, having ulterior political motives, and
disturbing social order. After Ms. Ma was arrested, a policeman said openly, "Isn't she Mr. Ma's
daughter? This time we'll make him go flat broke." Here we appeal to all righteous people around the world and to the
international human rights organization to concern themselves with Ms. Ma's
condition. We will update reports on her situation. People and organizations responsible: The Dehui City Communist Party Committee: Secretary of the Political and Judiciary Committee: Zhou Hongwu

86-13844929038 (Cell) Note: (1) "Stretching bed": A torture method in which they tie the four
limbs of the victim to a special bed, with four rings attached to the corners.
They fix a practitioner's hands and feet to the rings, and put force on the
rings. Then the practitioner's body is lifted up, stretching the four limbs,
until the joints, muscles, flesh, and skin separate. It is comparable to being
'drawn and quartered' and extremely painful. The victim loses consciousness in a
few seconds. After several minutes of this torture, the four limbs are disabled
and the victim is unable to even crawl or to put on clothes. Posting date: 3/6/2006
