Guo Ping 05.17.2002
On December 29, 2001, GUO Ping and her husband, Liu Peidong, were at home when several policemen from the Ershilibao Police Station of Kuiwen District broke into their house and abducted them. The couple was held in the Detention Center of Kuiwen District.
On May 15, 2002, GUO Ping was sent to the No. 2 People's Hospital of Weifang City for emergency treatment when she was on the brink of death after being detained and tortured for five and half months in the detention center. During the emergency treatment she was still handcuffed. Several police officers controlled the patient's room. People from the local Procuratorate and Court came to see GUO Ping. A judge asked a police officer that why they didn't release the person after torturing the person to so bad a condition?
Her husband was escorted from the detention center to the hospital to witness the condition of his wife who had swollen hands and feet as a result of the torture. After he returned to the detention center, he started a hunger strike, protesting the police's inhuman, brutal torture.
At 11:00 pm on May 17, GUO Ping lost her life as a result of the torture. Family members including parents and parents-in-laws were very angry with the thugs at the Bureau of Public Security for torturing their loved one to death.
