Autopsy Shows Mr. Lu Zhen Suffered Severe Physical Trauma Prior to Death (Photo)
(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Lu Zhen, 33, died in the Shandong Province First
Prison on June 22, 2009. His neck, hips, stomach, and legs were covered with
bruises, and there were whip marks on his body. His family did not believe the
prison administration when they told them that he died of sudden heart failure
and that it was a natural death. They requested an autopsy on the morning of
June 30, 2009, and the results showed that he had suffered severe physical
trauma prior to his death. It is highly likely that a beating was the cause of
death. Mr. Lu Zhen in college The autopsy found that blood had accumulated in his chest, and his buttocks
and back sides of his thighs seemed fine on the surface, but the muscles under
the skin showed sever signs of trauma. It is likely the result of multiple
rubber baton beatings as reported earlier. Mr. Lu Zhen, born on July 25, 1976, was from Xirulai Village, Mengyin
Township, Mengyin County, Shandong Province. He was an excellent international
finance student at Chongqing University, where he first learned of Dafa. Since
beginning the practice, he strictly followed the principles of
Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. In May 2000, Mr. Lu went to Beijing to appeal and was dismissed by the
university. He went to Beijing again in June 2000 and was sent to Xishanping
Forced Labor Camp for one year. There remained deep scars on his head and arms
as a result of the tortures received in the camp. The university took him back to his hometown, where he was released, but the
Mengyin government refused to accept him as a legal resident. The local
610 Office ordered the village officials to call him daily, and
threatened people to not contact him. His family was terrified, so Mr. Lu left
home. In March 2004, the police arrested him in Mengyin Town, detained him in the
Linyi City brainwashing center in April 2004, and later detained him at the
Mengyin County Detention Center. He was sentenced to 11 years in prison in
December 2004 and was sent to the 11th Ward of the Shandong Provincial Prison. The 11th Ward is the new inmate ward, and many prisoners tortured
Mr Lu there. He entered the regular ward in 2005, but was taken back to the 11th
Ward in 2007, where many prisoners were assigned to torture him everyday. He was
forced to sit on a small stool for a long time and endured brutal beatings. In
February 2009, Mr. Lu and two fellow practitioners, Mr. Wang Fucheng and Mr. Shi
Lei, were locked in solitary confinement for passing along Teacher's scriptures.
They were forced to sit on small stools with their knees against the wall, and
the guards blinded them by shining bright lights in their eyes. Mr. Lu was in excellent health prior to entering the prison, and no one in
his family had any history of heart disease. His family was not notified of
anything until the day they were told that he had died, on June 22, 2009, in
Shandong Province First Prison at age 33. Due to the information blockade, we can only find bits of information on how
Mr. Lu was tortured in prison. We call on people who believe in justice to
provide details of the cause of death, and also appeal to international human
rights organizations to investigate the true cause of Mr. Lu's death and bring
the killers to justice. Shandong Province First Prison (Men's Branch) operator: 86-531-87075454 Earlier reports: http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2009/7/4/108838.html
