Mr. Wu Shanhai of Wuhan City, Hubei Province Died as a Result of Torture
(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Wu Shanhai was an elderly practitioner who lived in
Wuhan City, Hubei Province. Because he persisted in practicing Falun Gong, as
well as clarifying the facts about Falun Gong, he was illegally
incarcerated and tortured. One week after being released, on July 19, 2007, he
died from the injuries resulting from torture. In December 2001, Wuhan City police officers rushed into the residence of Wu
Shanhai. They arrested him, ransacked his house and confiscated Falun Gong
truth-clarifying materials. Three days later, he was released on bail. As Wu refused to give up his practice, when he was clarifying the truth to
people in August 2006, he was arrested by plainclothes police. His house was
then ransacked, he was detained for three months, and his pension payments were
suspended. He suffered from physical, mental and emotional blows. On July 10, 2007, Wu was exchanging experiences with a few practitioners in a
park. He was followed by local police officers and once again arrested and taken
to the police station on the grounds of "gathering to overthrow the
government" and "colluding with overseas anti-China forces." Three days later, the police ordered his family members to fetch him. At that
time, Wu Shanhai's body was extremely weak and he could not eat. He had been
tortured until he was on the brink of death. One week later, he passed away.
