- Brief Report of Incident:
-
Shuai Liangcheng, a severely disabled retired serviceman from Yangwan Village, Suji Town, Leshan City, Sichuan Province, was abducted by the police on the morning of April 6, 2004. Since the Chinese Communist Party began persecuting Falun Gong, Shuai Liangcheng has been illegally imprisoned many times in the Yangwan Village government jail, the Suji Town Police Station, the Guihualou Detention Center in Leshan City, and in the Shizhushan Detention Center. He was illegally sentenced to three-and-a-half years for practicing Falun Gong. At present, he is imprisoned in the Jiajiang detention center and being subjected to torture.
After abducting Shuai Liangcheng, the police went to the school where Shuai's daughter is enrolled to pressure and intimidate her into writing her father to convince him to renounce his practice. At that time the daughter was facing university admission exams.
While Shuai Liangcheng was in the army, he developed severe rheumatoid arthritis and was seriously crippled by the disease. Eventually, the disease caused him to become hunchbacked, and his hands and feet curled up and would not unclench. His condition was extremely painful. Then he began to practice Falun Gong. After he had practiced and studied diligently for a while, his back began to straighten and his fingers and toes unclenched and began to move freely. He became a totally renewed and healthy person, and he strongly believes in Falun Dafa.
On April 6, 2004, Mr. Shuai was abducted and dragged off the street by several policemen. This time he was taken to the Jiajiang police station, where he was brutally tortured by several different methods, including forty hours of sleep deprivation. The police intended to torture Shuai to the point of mental collapse so that he would confess to the false charges the police had concocted against him. On the second day after Shuai was abducted, police officers Luo Jianhua and Li Changnai went to Shuai's house to extort money from his family, using the excuse that they would use the money to buy meat for Mr. Shuai to eat.
He is still imprisoned in the Jiajiang Detention Center, suffering from all kinds of brutal torture. We ask respectfully for help and attention from international organizations and all kind-hearted people in society. |
