Practitioners Mr. Hong Fei and Ms. Liu Shumin Persecuted to Death by Police Officer Lu Ping and his Colleagues in Qinhuangdao, Hebei Province

June 10, 2006

(Clearwisdom.net) Police officer Lu Ping from the State Security Division of Qinhuangdao, Hebei Province, instructed police officer Wang Mingxue of the Daonan Police Station and resident committee director Mr. Li to break into practitioner Mr. Wu Wenjin's home around 8:00 p.m. on March 7, 2006. They illegally arrested seven practitioners from Mr. Wu's home and beat them without reason. Two practitioners died shortly thereafter. I urge the Global Investigation Organization to launch an investigation into this case.

Based on the neighbors' statements, the police officers beat and kicked the practitioners in the hallway while arresting them. One practitioner, Mr. Hong Fei, was terribly frightened and did not have the strength to stand. The police insisted on dragging him into the police car. On the way to the police station, the policemen discovered that Mr. Hong was dying, so they dumped him on the roadside and covered him with a blanket, trying to avoid any responsibility. Mr. Hong, a college student, spent his last moments in in a roadside ditch on a cold and windy night. He was only 21 years old.

Another practitioner, Ms. Liu Shumin, died at 52 years of age in the Qinhuangdao First Detention Center in Hebei Province. Record shows that Ms Liu, in poor health, spewed blood and fainted right after the police broke into Mr. Wu's house. The officers arrested everyone in the house, including Ms. Liu's husband. Her husband was detained, tortured, and questioned for 24 hours, even though he does not practice Falun Gong and needed to take care of Ms. Liu.

Mr. Hong Fei's body was sent to Hospital #281, while Ms. Liu's was sent to a Chinese Traditional Hospital. Their bodies were soon delivered to a funeral parlor since both of them were "medically valueless." Mr. Hong died with his eyes and mouth wide open.

The 610 Office, the State Security Division, and the Police Department of Qinhuangdao in Hebei Province were extremely worried about the truth being uncovered after persecuting two practitioners to death. They used their supervisory position to exert control over many practitioners that were released after being "illegally arrested." Any practitioner who sought to learn the truth was followed.

Participants in the persecution: Lu Ping, Wang Xueming.
