The Persecution-Caused Death of Falun Gong Practitioner Ms. Xu Shufen at Qianan City Detention Centre, Hebei Province in 2002

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Xu Shufen was from Qianan City, Hebei Province. She was held at the Qianan City Detention Centre and died as a result of torture on November 6th, 2002. She was 49 years old.

On the morning of September 28th, 2002, police station head Zhang Man led other police officers to arrest Ms. Xu Shufen, and took her to the Chengguan District Police Department. Ms. Xu pleaded with them not to tear up Dafa books as she watched. As a result, Zhang Man violently beat Ms. Xu, making one of her eye sockets and eyeball swell. Her head was badly injured, and she was in severe pain. After savagely torturing her, the policemen handcuffed her so that she could not move, and they also tied her up tightly.

At around 7:00 p.m. on September 28th, the police transferred Ms. Xu Shufen to Qianan City Detention Centre. While there, the guards often cruelly beat and abused her. At each interrogation session she had to endure different degrees of abuse and beatings. She was inhumanely tortured at the detention centre.

Before she was tortured to death, detention centre female guard Shao Yanhong ruthlessly beat Ms Xu. The guards also declared that they would beat her to death. At the time, guards Guo Zhiqiang and Yang cruelly beat her together and then handcuffed her until past 3:00 a.m. Ms. Xu still felt physically uncomfortable on the day following the tortures.

Ms. Xu would perhaps still be alive had the detention centre doctor Chen Xue and guard Feng not participated in her gross abuse. At the time her blood pressure was very high. Despite this, the detention centre doctor and the guard forcibly pulled her up and also accused her of faking her condition. Later they did not prevent her from falling and handled her roughly. She subsequently had a brain hemorrhage and died as a result. The gross physical abuse under the persecution was a deciding factor in her death while in police custody.
