Liu Yuqing 04.13.2002
LIU Yuqing went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong on October 23, 1999, and was arrested on the October 25 at Tiananmen Square. The police put her into a detention center. Later she was taken back by officers from the Wanghua District Police Department and detained in Fushun City Rehabilitation Center. One and a half months later, she was transferred to her work unit for detention, not allowed to go home and monitored by persons from the plant’s security section, without being allowed any personal freedom. This situation continued until February 2000.
On December 31, 2000, LIU Yuqing went to Tiananmen Square again and unfolded a banner reading "Falun Gong Is Good", telling people around the world that Falun Gong is good. She was arrested on the site and suffered brutal beatings and the "Tiger Bench" torture. She went on a hunger strike to protest her arrest and was unconditionally released seven days later.
On February 15, 2001, three officers from the Putun Police Station in Wanghua District forcibly dragged her down from the third floor at her work unit and took LIU Yuqing to the police station against her will. On the second day she was sent to Fushun City Detention Center, and half a month later she was transferred to Fushun City Wujiabao Labor Camp. During this period she suffered from torture, brutal beatings, interrogations, sleep deprivation and other physical and mental tortures. Her internal organs suffered serious damage from the beatings. In just over one month, she became extremely weak. She had a fever, blood in her urine, and looked sick and emaciated. Upon hearing the news, her family went to the labor camp asking for her release. On April 11, 2001, she was taken home.
However, the police department pursued this matter. After 8:00 p.m. on February 9, 2002, over a dozen people from Wanghua Police Department, the Guchengzi and Yanwu police stations, and from the local residential committee, led by police chief Yu Shoujun broke into her home by jumping over the wall and took away her personal property. LIU Yuqing suffered another round of persecution. Only 40 years old, she passed away on April 13, 2002. At her death, LIU Yuqing’s eyes were open and her mouth half open, with an expression of sadness for the injustice.
One police officer in Guchengzi police station admitted that LIU Yuqing passed away on April 13, 2002.
