Song Cuiling 05.20.2002

SONG Cuiling, female, 52 years old, was a retired worker in the Zhangjiakou City Coal-Powered Machinery Factory, Hebei Province.

In October 2000, she went to Beijing to make petition for Falun Gong. As a result, she was detained for one month and fined 10,000 Yuan. To protest the inhuman treatment, she went to Beijing again at the end of December in 2000. She was arrested again and wasn't released until early March of 2001 after she went on a hunger strike to protest the illegal detention.

On August 19, 2001, a bunch of thugs from Mingdenan Police Station broke into SONG's house. The policemen carried her from the sixth floor and took her to a brainwashing class.

On May 4, 2002, she went to Beijing to protest the persecution. She was arrested and taken away by Tiananmen policemen. The policemen used electric-shock to torture on her. Excessive electric shocks left SONG incontinent. When she was sent back to Zhangjiakou Detention Center, her pants were all wet, and her arms and legs were black and blue.

SONG suffered inhumane torture at the Zhangjiakou Detention Center. Every morning at 6 AM, she was carried outdoors to the courtyard and left on the ground all day. It was still chilly in the mornings in May of Zhangjiakou and by noon, she suffered from the scorching sun. SONG went on a hunger strike from the beginning of her arrest. By the 9th day of her hunger strike, she passed out. After she was in a coma for 3 days, the chief of Mingdenan Police Station, Song Quanlin, brought a doctor and a nurse to force feed SONG.

When Song Quanlin saw SONG lying on the ground, he said viciously, "It is her again. She's been arrested several times. Each time, she would fast and lie on the ground like this. It's all fake." He also exclaimed, "We can release all other people, however, we cannot release these 4 (referring to the 4 practitioners in his jurisdiction, including SONG)." The director of Zhangjiakou Detention Center Cui said, "Force feed her. Give her a checkup." The doctor went to feel SONG's pulse and said, "Her heart and pulse are all normal." Then they started to insert a tube into SONG's stomach.

SONG was getting weaker and weaker everyday. They could not even force her to take water. She was drowsy all day but from time to time she would open her eyes. She passed out on the second day and developed bedsores. Since she lost control of her bowels and bladder, the bedsores never healed. She could not even put on her pants each day. Another Falun Gong practitioner who was jailed in SONG's cell told the guard that Song was in critical condition, but the director Cui said, "We are only responsible for guarding prisoners. We do not have the authority to release any of them. We can only inform relevant departments to come have a look."

On May 20, a Falun Gong practitioner in SONG's cell found that SONG could not breathe normally. When she tried to feed SONG some water, SONG's head suddenly dropped. She hurried to touch her nose and found she was already dead. The time was 11:45 a.m. When the practitioner reported SONG's death, a guard named DING and a Doctor LIU came in. LIU felt SONG's pulse and said, "She's faking death." She then left. At 12:10 p.m., two criminal inmates came in and carried SONG's body out.

The second day the guard said that SONG was in Hospital 251. In fact, SONG had already died when she was carried to the hospital. In order to cheat the public, the police pretended that they tried to save SONG's life until 12:40 p.m. The doctor said that, "the cause of SONG's death is unclear." The police did not inform SONG's family until 1:30 p.m. when SONG’s body was already in the mortuary.
