Two Brothers and a Sister Arrested and Tortured

Mr. Fu Hongru is over 50 years old and lives in Tonghua City, Jilin Province. On April 23, 2008, he was arrested by the Tuanjie police and for the next two days was shocked with electric batons and beaten. When he was taken to the Changliu Detention Center on April 25, he was covered with cuts and bruises. To cover up the truth, the police officers wrote on the arrest warrant that he was arrested on April 25.

Fu Hongru's brother, Fu Hongjian, 46, and sister, Fu Lisa, were also arrested.

Mr. Fu Hongjian was also arrested by the Tuanjie police. At the police station, he was so brutally tortured that he was unable to walk. He had to be carried to Changliu Detention Center. Results of a physical examination showed that all of his injuries were caused by the Tuanjie police. Just 12 hours after arriving at the detention center, he was taken to the central hospital of Tonghua City for medical treatment. After nine days in the hospital, he was allowed to go home. But the cuts and bruises had not healed and his left eye was so severely injured that it is permanently damaged.

Seven or eight police officers from Tuanjie Police Station moved Mr. Fu out of the hospital, telling family members that he could be released on bail for further medical treatment. When his family arrived to collect him, he was lying on a stretcher, his left eye was covered by a cloth, and he was very pale. The hospital staff said they could do nothing more to help him, but his family did not want to take him home, as he looked so sick. The Tuanjie Police Station chief lied and said, "All his injuries were incurred when Fu Hongjian tried to beat up the police." But when the hospital requested a medical fee of four thousand yuan, the police chief said, "The police station will pay the cost."

At present, Mr. Fu Hongru is still in Changliu Detention Center; the whereabouts and condition of Mr. Fu Hongjian are unknown. Their sister, Ms. Fu Lisa, was arrested on April 27, and has since been detained at Tonghua Detention Center.

When the Tuanjie police arrested Fu Hongru, Fu Hongjian, and Fu Lisa, they confiscated pictures of Fu Hongru and Fu Hongjian with Master in 1993 and 1994 and a bag containing Falun Gong books. 

Police in Huai'an City Arrest Head Nurse Ms. Hu Yunqin

Ms. Hu Yunqin is very dedicated to her work and never complains. Around 9am on April 15, 2008, Qinghe District "610" office policemen Zhang Shulin,Wang Jianhuai, and two other policemen came look for Hu with the help of Wei Yujie, the head of the security department at the hospital. They wanted to search Hu's home. Ms. Hu refused to cooperate with them and continued to work.

The police surrounded Hu and took away her keys, cell phone, ID card, a few pens, and other items related to her work. The officers handcuffed Ms. Hu and dragged her toward the police vehicle. The handcuffs cut into her wrist and left a blood stain on her clothing.

Once Ms. Hu was forced into the police vehicle, policeman Wang Jianhuai started beating her, grabbing her hair and slapping her face. Several police took Ms. Hu's key and went to her home led by Wei Yujie. They took away a computer, a MP3 player, two U-discs, a picture of Teacher, Falun Gong books, CDs, and personal items.

Ms. Hu Yunqin was detained at Huai'an Detention Center. Because she refused to cooperate with police at the detention center, a policeman named Wang beat her so badly that her left eye had hyperemia, and she lost control of her bladder. The next day, she still had blood in her mouth and nose, and her face was covered with bruises.

During her detainment, policemen Wang Jianhuai and Zhang Shuling went to the detention center several times to torture her. Ms. Hu's family was not allowed to visit her.

After being detained for 15 days, Ms. Hu Yunqin was released on April 30. None of the articles the police had taken from her was returned.
