(Clearwisdom.net) At around 6:00 p.m. on August 14, 2003, the police from Suining City, Sichuan Province broke into Ms. Zhang Yuhua's home and ransacked it. Then they forcibly arrested Ms. Zhang. One policeman beat her until she fell to the ground, then two others pulled her up and continued to kick and beat her until she lost consciousness.
The police detained Ms. Zhang in the Domestic Security Division and interrogated and tortured her for 24 consecutive hours. Ms. Zhang was later sent to the Shelter and Education Center and detained for 37 days. The persecutors are Zheng Dashuang, Xiao, Chen, and another seven to eight people from the Domestic Security Division.
The beatings by the police caused Ms. Zhang's whole body to swell and her eyes to be red and painful. They also kept tearing. After she was released, she went to get a physical examination. She was told that she had permanently lost her vision in her left eye. Her feet and legs were still bruised and the beatings caused her to develop tuberculosis in the knee.
Ms. Zhang wrote a letter to appeal her case to the Suining City government, the police department and the Provincial Public Security Bureau. She received a response letter stating that the police didn't beat her, without further investigation.
Since the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) began its persecution of Falun Gong in 1999, Ms. Zhang has been harassed, tortured and detained many times. In 2000, she was arrested and detained for 15 days because she did the Falun Gong exercises in public. In July 2000, Ms. Zhang was arrested while on her way to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong and was detained for 20 days. In 2002, in Yongxing Town of Suining, Ms. Zhang was reported to the authorities and arrested while talking to the public about the beauty of Falun Dafa and the horror of the CCP's persecution. She was detained at the Lingquansi Detention Center for nearly a month. During her detention there, the guards handcuffed her to iron frames, pulling her limbs apart. They also extorted 8,000 yuan from her.
