Zhang Li 08.27.2002

ZHANG Li, female, age 40, resident at Tiexi District, Anshan City, Liaoning Province.

On March 19, 2002, the police abducted ZHANG Li and sent her to Anshan City Detention Center. During the period of her illegal detention, ZHANG Li suffered all kinds of torture until she was on the verge of death. On August 27, 2002, attempts to revive ZHANG Li failed and she died in the city hospital.

ZHANG Li was forced to leave home after July 20, 1999. On March 19, 2002, the Lishan District Police Department of Anshan City illegally abducted her, along with five other practitioners of Falun Gong who were living in the same place. During the period of her illegal detention, she was tortured with every method imaginable and passed out several times. Her face was lacerated from being beaten. Later, she was illegally sentenced to life in prison. During her imprisonment, the police interrogated and tortured her cruelly on many different occasions.

She held a hunger strike, and the police sent ZHANG Li to the city hospital for force-feeding. They also handcuffed and shackled her after throwing her into the lobby. She was dying and many people went to look at her out of curiosity. Somebody said, "She is dying but is still in handcuffs, so she must have received the death penalty". The police said, "She is a Falun Gong practitioner".

ZHANG Li was questioned many times during the period of her illegal detention in the First Detention Center. Every time when she came back from questioning, her body was covered in blood and her skin was full of lacerations from being cut with a knife.

On August 27, 2002, while the police were questioning ZHANG Li, she was beaten to the verge of death, and she was sent to the city hospital. A police officer ordered a doctor, "Don't treat her!" In response, the doctor asked the policeman to sign a document because the police officer asked him to forsake a life, thus breaking his professional oath. The police left ZHANG Li in the hospital and had someone watch her. ZHANG Li died on the same day. Her body was cremated and was buried in Anshan City Qianqiu Cemetery.

After her death, the police tried to withhold all information on the case and threatened ZHANG Li’s family not to contact outsiders. They confiscated pictures that the family had taken to document the physical abuse from her home. They also hastily cremated ZHANG Li’s body without permission from the family. The police covered her body with white clothing in order to hide the evidence of their crimes.

Zeng Xianmei 08.14.2001

ZENG Xianmei, female, age 63, Lushunkou District, Dalian City of Liaoning Province.

ZENG started practicing Falun Gong in 1995. On August 9, 2001, when she was doing housework in her daughter's home at Sanyuan Street of Xigang District (her daughter was not at home at the time), policemen from the Xigang District, Branch of Dalian Public Security Bureau broke into the home through the window after ZENG refused to open the door. Policemen illegally ransacked her daughter's home and found Falun Gong books and some other materials.

They used this as an excuse to take ZENG Xianmei away for "interrogation". On August 14, it suddenly became known that ZENG had passed away. According to internal sources, her body was full of wounds and bruises.

ZENG Xianmei's family saw her on the day before her death. Mr. ZHANG Zeyuan, ZENG ’s husband, wrote the following record:

"We really could not believe that this elderly lady, who had been so healthy and happy a few days ago and who was always so kind to others, could have died so tragically and suddenly. It was unbearable to see my wife’s naked remains under the white sheets. Although her head was wrapped with gauze, a bloodstain, which was as big as a fist, could still be seen near her cerebellum through the gauze, which indicated there was an injury there. Protruding black bruises covered her right eye. There was a round black and blue injury about 1 or 2 cm in diameter under the lower jaw, and about 2 or 3 cm inside the middle of the lip. On the right shoulder, there was a large area covered with bruises and some skin had worn off in the middle of the area. Black and blue bruises and injuries were also found on the right costal (rib) area, left waist and right hip. The backs of her hands were badly swollen. There was a wound on the lower left leg, covered with gauze, with blood on it. The backs of both her feet were swollen and covered with small cuts. We also found other bloody clothes that belonged to her in the garbage can in the bathroom. Anybody can easily judge the cause of the death through these injuries and bruises of different sizes and types on the various areas of my wife’s body.

When we asked for my wife’s emergency treatment record, the hospital authorities claimed that they were still working on it. After we kept requesting it, a female doctor told us that the police sent my wife to the hospital at about 1:10 p.m. and she died around 5:10 p.m. There was no blood transfusion during the several-hour emergency treatment even though she was over 60 years old and had lost a lot of blood. How could she survive by herself without any blood transfusion? Later, the hospital demanded the relatives to pay the expense for the emergency treatment before they would release the record.

After abducting my wife, the Xigang police department did not issue or process any legal documents. Five days later, what they returned to us was a corpse, completely covered with bruises and wounds. After the tragedy happened, they didn't inform her immediate kin. Instead, they prevented the news from getting out and delayed reporting things in a timely manner to prevent my wife’s relatives from seeing her at the hospital. What's more, they demanded that we pay the costs. This is totally unreasonable and there was no due process of law.

Until now, we still cannot understand why my wife was tortured to death so tragically just because she practiced Falun Gong. Why? A life was taken away during this five-day detention in a law enforcement agency of the state. Why did this happen? This has become a question, which nobody could answer.

I know that she can't come back now that she’s dead. But I hope that relevant leaders and government departments in this socialist country, which claims to have "a perfect legal system," can one day give us a satisfactory answer, the family of the deceased.

If what I have written here is not true, I am willing to be punished by the law of heaven." - ZHANG Zeyuan
