63 Year-Old Dafa Practitioner Li Xuechun Is Tortured to Death by Gulou Police Substation of Macheng City, Hubei Province
[Clearwisdom Net]
Li Xuechun, a 63 year-old, male, was a cadre of the Macheng City Light Industry Bureau. In 1999, Li went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Dafa according to the permitted laws and consequently was arrested and detained illegally for more than 10 months. During the detention, this healthy old man with a ruddy complexion was tortured so severely that he became just skin and bones; even walking became extremely difficult for him. He was released for one month and had not yet recovered, when he was once again illegally arrested for distributing Dafa truth clarifying literature. In the Gulou Police Substation he was tortured on a bench for 36 hours [a torture method where the victim' legs are tied down to a bench while bricks are inserted under the tied legs, causing excruciating pain]. Six groups of police personnel took turns interrogating him. During the whole process, Li was not given any food and was not allowed to sleep. Facing the evil, this respected old man never yielded. When the police realized that they could get nowhere having used all means of torture, they illegally detained Li for a further three months. In December of 2000, after having suffered numerous brutal tortures, Li passed away.

Tan Yongjie, a Falun Dafa Practitioner's Incredible Journey of Survival
(Clearwisdom.net) People see pictures of Tan Yongjie, knowing that cruel tortures were inflicted upon him. Even so prepared, they are still shocked. More than fifty days ago, officers in a labor camp in China branded him with a hot iron bar, deeply burning him over a dozen times on his legs. Despite these extensive third-degree burns, he not only survived but also managed to escape, crossing an ocean and half a continent, alone. His courageous and miraculous arrival here in the heart of the United States has amazed many people.
