Outstanding Former Military Officer Beaten and Framed by Xinmin Police

November 24, 2012 |   By a Minghui correspondent in Liaoning Province, China

(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Pan Youfa was beaten and arrested by officers from the Xibei Street Police Station and Xinmin City Domestic Security Division on August 28, 2012. He has been held at the Xinmin Detention Center for more than two months. The police made up a false charge and submitted the case file to the Procuratorate. Mr. Pan's family went to the Xibei Street Police Station many times demanding Mr. Pan's release. The police refused their requests, using deception and false accusations.

Mr. Pan had been missing for three weeks, and his family had received no information about him, so on September 17, 2012, the family went to the Xibei Street Police Station to inquire. Director Su Hualin and other officers received them and told them that Mr. Pan had been arrested. The family asked, “Why didn't you notify us?” The police took out a “detention paper” and said, “We don't know your address. It was mailed to xx and returned.” The family told them that Mr. Pan's illnesses disappeared after practicing Falun Gong and that he strives to be a good person. Su said, “Not interested. We have been wanting to arrest Pan Youfa, and we have monitored your home many times.” The family asked, “We haven't moved in over ten years. You can send police to monitor our home, but you don't know our address?”

The family repeatedly visited the Xibei Street Police Station and mentioned the fact that officers from the police station beat Mr. Pan and had him handcuffed with his hands behind his back for nine hours. Mr. Pan's legs and ribs were injured, and his arm was cut by a knife. Director Su avoided it all saying, “Don't go to a lawyer or legal department. It's useless and won't help solve it.” Su said that the arrest of Mr. Pan was approved on charges that related to Falun Gong. Su said to others many times, “Practicing Falun Gong is more serious than murder or arson.”

According to the lawyer, the so-called crime does not exist in the constitution. Practicing Falun Gong and spreading the truth about it is within the boundary of religious freedom. The arrest and persecution of Falun Gong practitioners violates the law.

After the family's repeated requests and attention from society, the Xibei Street Police Station used deceit, in order to avoid responsibility. On the afternoon of September 29, 2012, they called Mr. Pan's family to pick up Mr. Pan. The family traveled from Shenyang City to Xinmin City and arrived at the police station at 6:00 p.m. that day. Director Su said, “You're too late. He has been transferred away. Don't blame others. You should blame yourself for being late.” The family checked with the related unit and learned, "There is no such thing as being late. There are cases where people are picked up at midnight."

On November 13, 2012, the family exposed the lie to director Su, and he stopped the family. The family said, “The police station violated the law and the regulations.” Su said, “Go sue us! Anywhere you want you can sue us!” Su admitted that he would never release Mr. Pan, claiming, “This case was decided by my superior (deputy director Wang Yonggang). It has been filed. It's useless no matter who you talk to or where you go!”

Parties involved in the persecution of Mr. Pan include the Shenyang City Domestic Security Division, Xinmin City Domestic Security Division, and Xibei Street Police Station. The Xinmin City Domestic Security Division and Xibei Street Police Station have now taken charge of the case. The Xibei Street Police Station is responsible for making up the charges and filing the case.

Mr. Pan was an outstanding military officer. During his years in the military, he developed many problems from overwork. Mr. Pan suffered from stroke, heart disease, and nephritis. He tried many types of medical treatments, but to no avail. He consulted with medical experts at the 202 Military Hospital, and asked “Can I be cured?” One said, “Patients with less severe conditions have died.”

In May 1996, as he was seeking medical attention and treatment, a doctor of Chinese medicine whose expertise is healing hard-to-diagnose and hard-to-treat diseases suggested that Mr. Pan try Falun Gong. After three months of practicing Falun Gong, eight different health problems disappeared. He benefited greatly both physically and mentally, and he became more peaceful and kind.

Mr. Pan follows the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and strives to be a good person. However, he has been repeatedly persecuted.
