Three policemen including Liu Guozheng, the deputy captain on duty from the Linghe Police Station and others from Shuangta District Police Department committed this illegal act. Both of Mr. Wu's hands were handcuffed to a bench at this station for a whole night. The next day they hung him by the wrists for a day at the Shuangta Police Department's National Security Team. Wu didn't cooperate with the police's demands. At 5:00 p.m., he was sent to Wujiawa's No.1 Detention Center. Mr. Wu caught a serious disease during his detention period, due to the deplorable hygienic conditions. On August 3, 2003, personnel from the Shuangta District Court secretly held court proceedings at the detention center without informing Wu's family members. There were over 20 policemen at the court. Wu Rongjie was carried to the court on a stretcher. They sentenced Wu to eight years of imprisonment. On September 15, 2003, Wu Rongjie was transferred to Shenyang City's Dabei Prison. On September 16, personnel from the Dabei Prison sent Wu back to Chaoyang City's No.1 Detention Center because of his serious health condition.
