Case Description:
Mr. Li Quzhu, 51, was a resident of Liluo Village, Jiaxiang County, Shandong Province. In July 2000, he was reported to police while he was making truth-clarification posters. Three police officers followed him, abducted him, and savagely beat him in the Changqin Police Station, Jining City, Shandong Province. Later, he was detained in the Yutai Detention Center and was brutally beaten again. The guards at the Yutai Detention Center grabbed Li's hair, and kneeled and stomped on his chest. They slapped him and viciously beat him. His internal organs were injured from the beating, and he was released due to his physical condition. Later, his wife, who is also a Falun Dafa practitioner, was sentenced to three years in a forced labor camp. During those three years, Li's life was so miserable that each day felt like a year. His house was ransacked many times. Under constant threats and harassment, he died on October 2, 2003.
