(Minghui.org) After they failed to provide additional evidence regarding Mr. Hao Xiangtang, Gaokai District Domestic Security Division officers bypassed the Procuratorate and submitted Mr. Hao's case directly to the Qiaodong District Court.
This was their second attempt to put him in prison. Their first attempt was also rejected and returned by Qiaodong District Procuratorate due to insufficient evidence.
Mr. Hao's attorney went to the court on March 7, 2014, to obtain information regarding the case. He was not allowed to review his client's documents.
Mr. Hao's case was submitted to the Qiaodong District Procuratorate last year by officers from the Gaokai District Domestic Security Division.
Since he was not informed by the authorities, his attorney was surprised to find Mr. Hao's case had been rejected and returned to the police when he went to the Procuratorate to review relevant documents on December 27, 2013.
Mr. Hao Xiangtang, 48, was arrested at Shahe Train Station on July 14, 2013, when he was traveling from Xingtai to Shahe. He was taken by two plainclothes officers to the Gaokai Police Station in Xingtai City.
Tortured for “Evidence”
At the police station, he was cuffed to an iron chair for two days straight.
Liu Dongbo, the Domestic Security Division head, and other officers beat the soles of his feet with tree branches on the evening of July 14. They also stabbed his feet with a screwdriver.
In an effort to find out where he lived, who his contacts were, and who supported him, Wang Huanfang, political head of the Domestic Security Division, and Hao Qingbo, head of Shahe City Criminal Police Team, shocked him with electric batons the next day.
Torture Re-enactment: Shocked with electric batons
On July 17, Mr. Hao was brought to Shahe City Criminal Offense Squadron. He was interrogated and shocked with electric batons again that night. He finally told the police his address.
Liu Dongbo, Wang Huanfang, and other officers ransacked his home around midnight on July 18. They confiscated his three laptops, four printers, three Falun Gong banners, hundreds of Falun Gong flyers, more than 40 Falun Gong books, as well as 4,000 yuan in cash.
After being detained for 20 days, Mr. Hao was transferred to the Dongwang Police Station and held for 12 days. He was deprived of sleep there.
He was then taken to the No. 1 Detention Center in Xingtai City on August 20 and has been there ever since.
The authorities refused to release him even after his case was rejected by the Procuratorate last year.
Because he practices Falun Gong, Mr. Hao has been arrested, detained, and tortured by the authorities many times. He was homeless and had to moved from place to place for almost 10 years. His wife couldn't take the pressure and divorced him.
