A 77-Year-Old Man From Tianjin Is Imprisoned For Being A Steadfast Practitioner

Mr. Wang Shouke, 77, is from Lutai Town, Ninghe County, Tianjin City. After practicing Falun Gong, he was healed of brain atrophy. On March 4, 2004, Mr. Wang was arrested and imprisoned in the Tianjin City Prison simply because he firmly insisted on practicing Falun Gong.

Before he began Falun Gong, Mr. Wang suffered from brain atrophy and could not take care of himself. He had been to many doctors and spent more than ten thousand yuan (1) for medicine and treatments. His wife helped him learn to practice Falun Gong. Not long after he started the practice, Mr. Wang was healed of his illnesses. However, the police abducted him in May of 2003 and tried to force him into giving up his belief in the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance," by brutally torturing him. One police officer even wrapped metal wire around his neck and almost suffocated him. Mr. Wang's blood pressure went up to 240 because of the torture and the shocks received from an electric baton, leaving him in a state of dizziness and only semi-conscious.

On March 4, 2004, the police sent this 77-year-old man to the Tianjin City Prison and illegally imprisoned him because of his persistence in practicing Falun Gong.
