Female Falun Gong Practitioner Guo Shuyan in Liaoyang County of Liaoning Province was Tortured to Death by Local Police

(Clearwisdom.net) Female Dafa practitioner Guo Shuyan, 38-years old, lived in Jidongyu Township of Liaoyang County, Liaoning Province. On December 17 2001, she went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong and was arrested on the same day for speaking out in defense of Dafa. She was detained in the Liaoyang Detention Center. She went on a hunger strike for several days to protest against the illegal persecution, but was still sentenced to 3 years of forced labor. When she was sent to the Masanjia Forced Labor Camp, the labor camp authorities refused to take her since she was so weak from the hunger strike that the physical examination diagnosed her as being in critical condition. Out of a personal vendetta, the corrupt Jidongyu Township police station officer Tang Lianchang, along with the County officers in charge of the case, decided to pay the chief and other doctors of the Masanjia Labor Camp Hospital to sign off on the physical examination results so that the labor camp would accept Guo Shuyan. (Guo Shuyan heard them discussing the matter when they thought she could not hear). However, the labor camp hospital chief refused their bribe because Guo Shuyan was in critical condition and could die any minute. Since neither the local police station nor the labor camp would take that responsibility, Tang Lianchang called Guo Shuyan's husband with the false claim that they needed money for Guo's medical treatment. Guo's husband refused to cooperate with them.

Dafa Practitioner He Xingzong Murdered by the Police While Posting Flyers

(Clearwisdom.net)He Xingzong, male, 55-years old, lived in Daluhe Village of Songbu Town, Macheng City, Hubei Province. He obtained Dafa in 1996.

On December 8, 2001, at 2:00 a.m., He Xingzong went out to post Falun Gong flyers on the wire poles in the village. However, he was caught by the policemen from the Songbu Police Station. Because he did not yield to the policemen, they killed him right on the spot. To cover up their crime, the policemen dragged his body to a roadside. They then tore down the over 100 flyers he had posted and tucked them into his pocket. After all of this, they called in a medical examiner to conduct a so-called "examination" of his body. The medical examiner colluded with the policemen and made a false statement saying He Xingzong died from an accident while posting flyers and there was no wound found on his body at all.
