Brutal Torture Results in the Agonising Death of Dafa Practitioner from Sichuan Province

August 28th report: Dafa practitioner Mr. Cao Ping from Guangan City, Sichuan Province was illegally sentenced to four years in prison in 2001. While imprisoned, he endured brutal torture, which severely injured his internal organs. In May 2003 his family took him home. He passed away at 1: 30 a.m. on July 17, 2003. Following are details.

Mr. Cao Ping was 40 years old. He began practising Falun Dafa in 1998. In June 2000, he went to Beijing to appeal for Dafa and was detained for 15 days. In May 2001, he was arrested when distributing Dafa truth-clarification materials. Zhao from the County Police Department and Yang from the Chengbei Police Station brutally beat him until his arms and legs sustained fractures. Later, he was sentenced to four years in prison. With total disregard for his life, the brutal beatings he suffered severely injured his internal organs. He was on the verge of death when he was sent to a labour reeducation hospital and diagnosed as "untreatable." On May 27 2003, the callous authorities ordered his family to take him home, when it was virtually too late to save him. At that time he was suffering from excruciating pain throughout his body and had blood in his stool. He never recovered and sadly passed away at 1: 30 a.m. on July 17, 2003.
