To:
Supreme People's Procuratorate,
My name is Peng Zhenxiu and I live at Jixiancun, 191 Chongren Road, Qiaokou District, Wuhan City, Hubei Province. I am a 70 year old woman, and a Falun Dafa practitioner.
Recently, I read the following news report:
"From May this year to June the following year, the Supreme People's Procuratorate will conduct a national investigation of all government officers who, in the course of carrying out their duties, have breached the Human Rights Act by using their power unlawfully.
The investigation will target five major offenses committed by these officers:
The persecution I personally experienced at the Legal Education Center, Qiaokou District falls within the above categories. The Legal Education Center openly disregarded the Law, set up its own court, and applied torture to force me give up my belief in "Truth, Compassion and Forbearance," - my right to live as a good citizen.
On October 15, 2003, an Officer Yang from the "610 Office," three local police officers, and two District Secretaries came to my home. Officer Yang tried to force me to rebuke my Teacher using slanderous language, which I refused. Because of that, they wanted to take me to their Legal Education Center in the Qiaokou District. When I shut myself in the washroom, police officer Chen broke the door down and dragged me out. My daughter held on to me and did not want to let me go. Chen pulled her away and warned her that he would take her away as well if she did not let go. Despite my protesting their unlawful actions, and before a crowd of neighbors, I was forced into a van. That night, at about 7.00 p.m., I was sent to the Legal Education Center at Etouwan in Qiaokou District.
About ten people were selected from various related departments to run the Legal Education Center, which is in fact a brainwashing class. At the time, I was the only Dafa practitioner detained at the center. On the second day, they put on a CD showing a series of pictures of someone slandering Falun Dafa, with the intention to brainwash me. I could not watch and I could not listen any more. My seven years of Dafa cultivation have told me that this practice is genuine. Falun Dafa is really good. Hence, all the slander had no effect on me. Four days later, another elderly woman, Gui Popo, was also sent in. We were then forced to watch the CD program during the day, and listen to fabricated stories slandering Dafa at night. None of their information was factual.
Day and night, from October 16 until November 1, we were forced to listen to these lies. I did not give up my practice so they locked me up in solitary confinement for four days. I continued to hold to my beliefs. From November 5 onwards, the ten officers assigned to conduct the class were divided into five groups of two each. They changed roster every four hours to supervise the class until midnight. Then from November 6 onwards, I was not allowed to sit and had to stand and listen. During a cold rainy day, the temperature dropped to about 3 degrees Celsius. For over half an hour, they forced me to stand outside in the cold and wind before taking me back to the cell, where the only bed had no bed covers on it. On the morning of November 7, at about 8 a.m., I was forced to stand and listen to the brainwashing materials. Because of my persistence, a person named Li dragged me out one day and asked me to slam my head against the wall and kill myself. I told him that Dafa practitioners are not allowed to kill. Suicide is also killing. Two officers, Lin and Wu, were present at that time. They witnessed all that had happened to me. Because I refused to read those materials against Dafa, I was forced to stand for 6 days and nights, and not allowed to sit down even during meal time.
Afterward, seeing that I was still very persistent, they tied my arms together behind my back and hung me up. This caused excruciating pain in my arms and torso. Li said, "We want to dislocate your bones. I was left hanging there for the next two days.
At the Legal Education Center, I, an elderly woman, was more dead than alive after all this torture. Even today, my physical and mental injuries have not fully recovered.
I sincerely hope that the members of the Supreme People's Procuratorate will conduct an investigation into all these activities, restore the human rights to every citizen, and uphold the supremacy of the law.
Regards,
Falun Dafa Practitioner
