(Clearwisdom.net) On the evening of July 3, 2008, officers from Chang'an Police Station in Dadong District, Shenyang City tried to arrest Ms. Chen Yumei, 48, on Pangjiang Street near Ms. Chen's neighborhood. They brutally beat and kicked her. Many bystanders witnessed the brutality, and saw that Ms. Chen passed out from the beating.
At around 9 p.m. on the same evening, a 110 emergency police vehicle arrived at Ms. Chen's home, and her family was asked to identify her in an ambulance. (The police had called for the ambulance.) Her family identified her, but she was in a coma. An ambulance worker said her condition was critical, and that she must go to the hospital. There were five or six officers in the emergency vehicle from Chang'an Police Station, and they all left right away.
Ms. Chen was taken to #463 Military Hospital. The doctor found a large amount of bleeding in her skull, and said that he must perform an operation immediately. Her family collected a ten thousand yuan deposit for her to have the four-hour operation done. After the operation, she was unconscious. Her family saw that her arms and legs were covered with bruises, and her body had severe scratches as a result of being dragged on the ground. Doctors said the marks were caused by being beaten or dragged. The doctors spent 10 hours trying to revive her in vain, and she died at around 8:30 p.m. on July 4, 2008. Her family said that she left home around 8 p.m. a healthy woman, but died less than 12 hours later from police brutality.
When her family took her to the hospital, several 110 police vehicles surrounded Ms. Chen's home. Officers prevented other family members from entering or exiting, ransacked her home, and took many Falun Dafa books, DVDs, and materials.
Ms. Chen Yumei was a kind, righteous person. She kept practicing Falun Gong and tried to be a good person, but was brutally mistreated multiple times by the Chinese Communist Party. She was once detained in a brainwashing center in 2002, and went on a hunger strike to escape the torture. Her husband was once sent to forced labor for practicing Falun Gong.
