Ms. Liu Yanyun Dies as a Result of the Persecution in Heilongjiang Province (Photos)

(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Liu Yanyun, 55, lived in Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province. She used to have necrosis of the femoral head, and went to Beijing and Shanghai to find a cure, but her efforts were unsuccessful. After practicing Falun Dafa in 1995, all of her illnesses disappeared. A few days before the New Year of 2000, Ms. Liu went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Gong but was arrested and detained back in Jiamusi City for more than 100 days. She was released after police extorted a large sum of money from her family.

Practitioners Shackled to a Cross and Tortured at Weifang City Detention Center, Shandong Province

(Clearwisdom.net) A special instrument of torture is used on Falun Dafa practitioners at the Weifang City Detention Center in Shandong Province. It is made of steel bars and metal plumbs. When a practitioner is shackled to the instrument, his or her arms are stretched out like a cross. The person's hands are shackled separately and the legs are shackled together. The victim is restrained and kept immobile except for the head. Once affixed, the practitioner is tortured and force-fed, sometimes for as long as a few consecutive days and nights.

Mr. Li Yukun

Scar left by Officer Qin Jie's beating with a stick

Mr. Li Yukun, 60, lived in Zhenggong Community, Xiashan District, Weifang City, Shandong Province. During the past nine years, this quiet farmer endured unimaginably cruel torture. In October 1999, when his family had not yet planted their wheat, Officer Cao Jinhui and others ransacked his home and arrested him. Three officers brutally beat him in the morning and afternoon of the next day and took him to the detention center in the evening. These three officers went to the detention center during his detention and cruelly beat him for more than an hour in the center office. They beat him down to the floor, and then struck his face and head with a broomstick. They beat him so hard that the broomstick broke into pieces. They also pulled out a big bunch of his hair. They declared, "We want to beat you until several layers of your skin peels off and you lose some weight. We failed to beat you last time when you went to Beijing to appeal, because there were no such orders from upper levels. Now we can beat you to death without being held responsible." Mr. Li had two black eyes from the beatings. After his detention was over, they detained him in the community office for a long time. He was placed under strict surveillance after that.
