Ding Gangzi 06.11.2001
On October 3rd, 2000, police arrested DING and detained him in the Zanhuang County Detention Center. This was the third time Ding had been arrested for petitioning to the government. While in detention, Ding’s hands were handcuffed behind his back, his feet were shackled, and he was not even provided with food.
Ding was also savagely beaten and shocked with an electric baton. The police left him in an inhumane condition and absolutely neglected him until his body started to decompose.
On June 11th, 2001, in order to escape responsibility, the police delivered Ding’s dead body — still in handcuffs — to the local hospital and forced doctor there to fake an emergency operation and rescue. Afterwards, the police issued a notice of death, claiming DING could not be cured. The location of DING’s torture and death was Zanhuang County Detention Center, Hebei Province, P.R. China.
