(Clearwisdom.net) Pucheng Detention Center in Fujian Province has been torturing Dafa practitioners under the direction of Du Defu. Whenever Pucheng County practitioners are escorted back from appealing in Beijing, they face torture and are sent to the detention center for further persecution.

Practitioners who went to appeal in Beijing in November 1999 were detained in the detention center. The head of the detention Center, Du Defu, not only ordered the police, but also incited inmates to beat up the practitioners. Besides that, he went even further and directly got involved in the beating. He knocked out two teeth of practitioner Cai Jinfu and yelled desperately, "Beat you to death, so what. Your death will be counted as suicide. It is what Jiang Zemin orders us to do. Nobody will speak for you even if you can report us to the central government. You can report us to the United Nations if you have the ability!" Practitioner Cai Jinfu was sentenced to one and half years in a forced labor camp.

Between April and May 2000, Pucheng practitioners kept going to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. Wang Yong (He was previously Police Chief of the Public Security Bureau at Chengguan Branch. Because of his active performance in persecuting Falun Gong, he was promoted to the position of Deputy Chief of the Pucheng County Public Security Bureau) along with several policemen went to Beijing to arrest practitioners. In a hotel in Beijing, Wang Yong relentlessly beat up practitioners and caused practitioner Zhang Tingli to have a bleeding nose. Under instruction from the County 610 Office and the Public Security Bureau, Policemen Wang Yong, Du Defu, Luo Zhaoxing, Ren Qiwen and Xu Yonghua have inhumanly persecuted and tortured practitioners. They hung up female practitioner Liu Guifeng and beat her until she lost consciousness, then poured cold water on her to awaken her and then repeated the torture. In the detention center, practitioners went on a hunger strike to protest the mistreatment and imprisonment. Seven days later, the police began to force-feed practitioners. They forcefully inserted tubes into practitioners' noses and caused bleeding in their noses and stomachs. The scene was very brutal to watch. The longest period of the hunger strike is eleven days. Despite that, the police did not control their illegal and inhuman action toward practitioners. Liu Guifeng was sentenced to four years in prison. Zhang Tingli was sentenced to one and half years in a forced labor camp.

Female practitioner Wu Wenying is nearly sixty years-old. In March 2001, Police searched her home without a warrant and discovered dozens of truth-clarifying flyers. They took her away and tortured her, trying to force her tell where the flyers came from. In less than three days, police officers Wang Yong, Du Defu, Liu Shichuan, Xu Yonghua, Luo Zhaoxing and Ren Qiwen, tortured her to such an extent that she could not stand, sit or lie on her back. Yet they got nothing from her. They had to admit that she was very steadfast. Some police who still have conscience gave a "thumbs up" and said in front of other practitioners, "Wu is very determined. You should all learn from her." Later, Wu WenYing was sentenced to four years in prison.
