Mr. Huang Fujun Died on November 6, 2007, at 44 years old Mark on his head from being hit with heavy object He was as thin as a skeleton; festering sores covered his buttocks

Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Huang Fujun lived in Acheng District, Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province.

On July 24, 2007, policemen from the Songfengshan Town Police Station arrested Mr. Huang and beat him until both of his feet were crushed and broken. The police detained him in the Acheng District First Detention Center. Mr. Huang went on a hunger strike to protest the detention and was tortured with force-feeding. He lost consciousness and had difficulty breathing. A large area of his skin festered with open sores. He had multiple injuries on his body. His hands and feet were severely swollen and showed deep scars caused by shackles and cuffs. The authorities deprived Mr. Huang of his right to have visitors for three months until, on November 2, 2007, the police notified his family to visit him in the Acheng District Traditional Medicine Hospital, because he was dying.

He was unconscious and as thin as a skeleton; his face was deformed from the force-feeding tubes, which were still inserted in his nose. Dry blood filled his nostrils; the tubes had remained inserted for long time. His buttocks were covered with terrible festering sores. The guards had cuffed and shackled his wrists and ankles. His family repeatedly requested for him to be allowed to return home. The Detention Center Administration finally released him.

On November 4, 2007, Mr. Huang’s family picked him up. He could not talk or recognize people. At around 8 p.m. on November 6, 2007, his face turned pale, and he died with his mouth and eyes open. He could not say one word to his family before his death.

After Mr. Huang died, Mr. Huang's family hired a lawyer and found the District 610 Office agents. One agent said viciously, "You are lucky we are meeting with you. Mr. Huang Fujun's death was a suicide." When Mr. Huang's family and their lawyer went to the Legal Justice Office of the Acheng District Police Department, the Office Chair Xi Jinglong took the lawyer to the side, and threatened him, "How come you dare to accept this case? Do you still want to keep your license? How can you win a case against the Communist Party?" The lawyer emphasized that there was a life involved in this case. But the family and the lawyer still got no results.

Mr. Huang's family filed a lawsuit against the Acheng District Police Department, Detention Center, and the 610 Office. But to this day, they have been unable to find justice.

Previous Persecution:

On February 16, 2001, he was detained in the Yagou Brainwashing Center, and then transferred to a detention center. A guard, Zhang Jingyi, gave him six slaps on the face. In the cold of winter, a prisoner, Zhang Bao, ordered other prisoners to pour more than twenty basins of cold water on him until he was shivering and icy cold all over his body. Later, he was sent back for forced brainwashing and was tortured there for over two months.
