Tortured to Death: Practitioner Liu Zhibin from Xiguan Village, Wuling Town, Lingqiu County, Shanxi Province

September 09, 2004 |   By a Falun Dafa practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Liu Zhibin was from Xiguan Village, Wuling Town, Lingqiu County, Shanxi Province. He had been detained many times for going to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa. In July 2002 he was sentenced to four years in prison and died in Shanxi Provincial Prison on July 20, 2004.

Mr. Liu Zhibin, 50 years old, was a small business owner in Xiguan Village. As a dedicated Falun Dafa practitioner, he was frequently arrested for daring to tell the true facts about Falun Dafa.

In July 2002, Liu Zhibin was arrested for passing out informative materials designed to help the public learn more of the facts about Falun Dafa. He was detained in the Lingqiu County Detention Center several months before beginning his four-year prison sentence in the No. 1 Shanxi Provincial Prison located in Qi County. After he died in prison on July 20, 2004, his family was notified that he had died of a heart attack. But when his family saw his body, they found it covered with wounds. Handcuff marks were clearly visible on his wrists, as were many scars from electric batons and wounds from cruel beatings. His body was in a horrible condition. In the end, prison officials tried to Page: 1
pay his family off with a sum of money. The details of this case need to be investigated.
