Mr. Sun Xiaojun weighed only about 80 pounds due to one year's torture in the jail. He died on July 15, 2009, two weeks after being released to home.
Mr. Yang Guiquan was arrested on June 20, 2009 for talking about the truth about Falun Gong in a shopping mall. In the detention center, he was forced-fed by guards. The police took him to a hospital when he was on the verge of death on July 5. He died on the same day.
Mr. Sun Xiaojun from Fuyang City was tortured to the point of death by Zhejiang Province Police Department and the 4th Prison of Linping City. Since being released on June 30, 2009, he had not been able to eat. He vomited even drinking water and was bedridden even while relieving himself. He was delirious and experienced continual cramping in his body. At 11:00 p.m. on July 15, 2009, he passed away.
Mr. Sun was 32 years old and lived in 3 Yinchun Road Apt. 502, Fuyang City, Zhejiang Province. Because he practiced Falun Gong, he was repeatedly arrested, sentenced and detained.
On June 5, 2007, he was arrested again by officers from Fuyang City 610 Office, Fuyang City Police Department and Zhejiang Province Police Department, and detained in the city detention center. On January 17, 2008, he was sentenced to four years and six months in prison. On May 14, 2008, Mr. Sun was sent to the 4th Prison of Linping City in Zhejiang Province, where he was tortured for more than a year. He had been detained in the prison hospital and injected with unknown drugs. He weighed about 65kg (143 pound) before being incarcerated, but as a result of torture, he became emaciated and his weight fell to just over 35 kg (about 80 pound).
Mr. Sun's family requested his release on bail for medical parole many times, however the prison always denied the request. Eventually, in order to shift its responsibility, the prison allowed Mr. Sun to go home on April 16, 2009. Several days later, the police forcibly took Mr. Sun to the Sixth People's Hospital of Zhejiang Province in order to prevent him from contacting other Falun Gong practitioners. In addition, the police ordered the hospital to inject him with a double-dose of an unknown drug, which caused him to become distracted and not able to get up to relieve himself. His family asked that he be allowed to go home, but Zhejiang Province Police Department tried all means to detain him in the hospital.
