Ms. Liu Xiaolian, 63, Suffers Five More Months of Severe Torture

June 20, 2004

(Clearwisdom.net) On May 29, 2004, having been detained in Chibi City Detention Center in Hubei Province for 5 months, 63 year old Ms. Liu Xiaolian of Chibi County was carried home by county officers and police station personnel.

Since Jiang and his associates' began to suppress Falun Gong, this senior lady has been suffering from all kinds of hardships. In December 2003, Minghui and Clearwisdom.net published the article "Surviving Extreme Torture - A Lotus Flower that Never Withers" to report her being crudely persecuted at a detention center with the "Five Horses Separating the Body" torture and drug injections. This called attention to people abroad and within and caused panic to those who persecuted Ms. Liu. So to silence her and prevent the world from learning the truth, they unlawfully detained Ms. Liu again.

On December 29, 2003, Chibi City "610 office" (1) and National Security personnel together with county officers and Director Yu of the Ladies' Association broke into Ms. Liu's home. They searched the apartment and took away 1000 yuan (2), which was the hard earned money from fellow practitioners for her to have physical checkups for her injuries. They threatened her spouse not to move or talk, while dragging Ms. Liu from the 3rd floor down to the police car beside the road. They shoved a sock they removed from her foot into her mouth and pushed her head down to the car floor for more than one hour while several people bent her arms behind her back. Then in a meeting room, they tortured Ms. Liu, causing her bones to feel as if they were broken and her joints to be dislocated, as well as causing her to lose control of her urination for a week.

On January 10, 2004, the city "610 office" and National Security personnel transferred Ms. Liu from the roundhouse to the city detention center. Before entering the cell, the center director Deng Dingsheng hit and beat her head while saying, "We'll give you Five Horses Separating the Body again!" (Deng was the prime culprit in previously applying those crude tortures to Ms. Liu.)

On February 19, 2004, while Ms. Liu was meditating and sending forth righteous thoughts, Detention Center Deputy Director Qian Yulan used a heavy boot and frantically hit Ms. Liu's head causing her eyes and ears to bleed, and blood to flow out of her nose and mouth like tap water, covering her whole body and blanket in the cell.

On March 27, 2004, Detention Center Director Deng Dingsheng pushed two pitchers full of water into Ms. Liu's face and the face of 71 year old practitioner Ms. Huang Cengxiu. Ms. Huang's nose was smashed flat and there was a big cut from her nose to the right ear exposing the flesh and bleeding. On 3/30/2004, the center police were concerned about these two detained practitioners' crying out "Falun Dafa is Good", so they put the two ladies into an isolation chamber. The police blasted them with high volume propaganda the whole day and cuffed their feet together inside the isolation chamber.

The long-term illegal detention and torture led Ms. Liu Xiaolian to lose her ability to take care of herself and she became bedridden in the cell. The guards were afraid of being held responsible for her death, so they told her family members to take her home. Ms. Liu's family members demanded three things from the center:

  1. Rescind her 2.5 years forced labor sentence and clear her good name;
  2. Take responsibility for all persecution applied to her;
  3. Promise not to disturb her any more.

The police did not respond to the conditions but just carried Ms. Liu home.
