Police Torture Renders Daqing City Practitioner Ms. Tang Zengye Critically Ill

Daqing City Falun Dafa practitioner Ms. Tang Zengye was "illegally arrested¹" on September 23rd, 2005, and is currently being held in police custody at Daqing Detention Centre. She has vomited blood due to the torture she suffered.

On September 23rd, 2005, Daqing City police officers seized more than 30 practitioners. They sent the women to Daqing Detention Centre and most of them were tortured. Since Tang Zengye's arrest, policemen from the provincial police department have tortured her, confined her to a metal chair, and cuffed her hands and feet to hoops so that she could not move. The police also cruelly beat her and incited prisoners to beat her.

Tang Zengye has been on a hunger strike to protest the persecution. The police barbarically force-feed her daily, while prisoners slap her face and smash her head against a metal basin. The police and prisoners berate her constantly. Daqing Detention Centre killed practitioner Ms. Yang Yuhua by cruel force-feeding on May 12th, 2005. Tang Zengye is now vomiting blood and is extremely weak from the torture.

The police spread the word that arrested practitioners can't be released even if they die inside the prison. Recently they have been plotting to send arrested practitioners to forced labour camps.

International human rights organisations, the World Organisation to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong, humanitarian community groups and citizens, please investigate the atrocities in Daqing Detention Centre!

Note

1. “Illegally arrested”: Contrary to what former Chinese leader Jiang Zemin, who initiated the persecution, and the Chinese Communist Party would like the world to believe, practising Falun Gong is NOT illegal in China. Although the Public Security Department issued an unconstitutional set of restraints on the practice at the onset of the persecution in 1999, no laws have been passed by the only legislative body in China, the People's Congress, banning Falun Gong or granting the police the authority to arrest Falun Gong practitioners for practicing the exercises or distributing flyers.
