Mr. Yu Shaoqi, 27 years old, is a practitioner from Chenxi County, Huaihua City, Hunan Province. About two weeks ago, after reading articles on policeman Tang Yubao disfiguring Dafa practitioner Gao Rongrong with electric shock torture, he phoned Tang Yubao. He asked him kindly to stop violating the law. The Chenxi County "610 Office" promptly arrested him. The Head of the National Security Division Yu Qingchang beat him cruelly. All his teeth came loose and his mouth bled profusely. Yu Qingchang also twisted Mr. Yu Shaoqi's hand to the point that it was about to break. Mr. Yu Shaoqi is now still under detention.
Note:
1. "Tying the Ropes": The police tie the practitioner with a thin rope, circle the rope around his neck and tie his hands behind his back. Then the police would use all the force they can muster to tighten the rope. The rope becomes tighter and tighter around the body of the practitioner, making it more and more difficult for him to breathe. The pain is so intense that the practitioner sometimes loses control of his bladder. There are instances when the rope was tightened enough to break a practitioner's arm.
