Mr. Lu Renqing Dies after Being Transferred to Three Different Prison Facilities
(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Lu Renqing, 39, lived in Majiazi Village, Xinbin
County, Liaoning Province. He was known for being ill tempered. He suffered from
severe headaches, and he was also very attached to money. After he began
practicing Falun Dafa in March 1999, he became a better person. People wanted to
befriend him, he was willing to help others financially, and he no longer had
headaches. He could not understand why the CCP banned Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, so he
decided to go to Beijing to appeal for this good practice that had benefited him
both spiritually and physically. He was arrested in Beijing before he was able
to get to the Office of Appeals. The police took him back to Xinbin County and
he was detained for 15 days. He returned to Beijing after released but was
arrested again on September 9, 1999, and once again taken back to Xinbin County
and sentenced to two years of forced labor After he was released from Fushun City Forced Labor Camp in March 2000,
Dasiping Town Police Department Director Guo Jian (male) and four or five
officers went to Mr. Lu Renqing's home and arrested him again. He was taken to
the Xinbin County Detention Center. Mr. Lu escaped on the way and had to leave
home to avoid being arrested. On July 1, 2002, officers from Fushun City Police Department arrested him
while he was clarifying the truth in Fushun City. He was cruelly
beaten and detained in the Fushun City Second Detention Center for four months,
where he incurred scabies all over his body. He was sentenced to six and a half
years in prison and taken to Dabei Prison located in Shenyang City. In December
2002, he was transferred to Huazi Prison in Liaoyang City. Mr. Lu remained steadfast in abiding by
"Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" during his term lasting several
years in Huazi Prison. He was inhumanly tortured by being locked in a small cell
(1) and brutally force-fed. On the morning of September 27, 2004, under orders from the guards, three
prisoners coerced Mr. Lu into an empty cell, stuffed his mouth, and then beat
him until all three of the prisoners were exhausted. He was injured all over his
body and had two broken ribs. The three prisoners carried him back to their
cell. Two male guards Wang Jianjun, and Xu Chanhai, especially assigned to watch
Falun Gong practitioners, tried to call Mr. Lu to their office but he could not
walk, so the three prisoners carried him. Mr. Lu said to the guards, "They
tortured me as if they were trying to kill me." Xu Changhai replied,
"No one saw that." They placed Mr. Lu on a bed under the window so
that no one could see how badly he was injured. Mr. Lu was unable to take care of himself for over a month. He was forced to
sit on small plastic stool as another form of torture while he recovered. He
asked to see a doctor many times but was always ignored. The guards constantly
denied the fact that he was brutally beaten. Although Mr. Lu was very healthy
before he ended up in prison, starting in September 2005, he began to cough up
blood and had difficulties breathing. He was never allowed to see a doctor and
was never treated for his progressively weakening condition. On December 9, 2007, Huazi Prison officials transferred him to Ganjingzi
Prison located in Dalian City. He was still forced to do hard labor even though
he was in such poor physical condition. He could not walk, so the guards had two
prisoners carry him to the workplace. He went on a hunger strike for seven days
to protest this brutal mistreatment. He coughed up blood and became extremely
weak. A doctor diagnosed him with advanced tuberculosis. Huazi Prison officials
transferred him to Tieling Prison. Another examination revealed a large hole in
his lung, and the prison administrators were told twice by physicians that he
could die at any time, but they still refused to release him. Finally heeding his family's urgent requests, on March 10, 2008, Tieling
Prison officials finally took Mr. Lu to the Tieling City Tuberculosis Hospital
for treatment. He had water in his lung, and his heart did not function
properly. The doctors operated on him but announced he would not live long. The
long term mental and physical tortures that Mr. Lu had endured damaged his
health beyond recovery. Mr. Lu Renqing died on April 19, 2008. Posting date: 5/14/2008 |
