According to reliable sources, an undergraduate student of Harbin Industrial University whose name and age are unknown, was tortured to death on the morning of April 5, 2004. This student practitioner was unjustly sentenced and put in Harbin Prison, Heilongjiang Province. Because he refused to write statements denouncing Falun Gong, he was put in the confinement cell. The police ordered four criminals to torture him. They did not give him any food to eat, nor did they allow him to put any clothes on. In order to cover up their crimes, the police carried his corpse to the prison hospital pretending they were giving him emergency treatment. His body was covered with wounds and there was no trace of food in his stomach.

After his death, the prison has tightly blocked the news. Details about his death being investigated.
