Mr. Song Shijie Tortured to Death Within Three Days of His Arrest in Siping City

Mr. Song Shijie, 56 years old, was a retired employee from Siping City Art League in Jilin Province. He had been practising Falun Dafa for many years and he was very healthy and strong. At around 10:00 p.m. on May 12, 2003, he was arrested at his home by Tiexi Police Officers in Siping City. Two days later, Mr. Song's family was informed that he was dead. His family members were shocked to learn of this news and they planned to sue the Tiexi Police for torturing Song Shijie. The Tiexi Police did not want their crimes to be exposed, so they gave 50,000 yuan to Mr. Song's family as compensation. It is reported that Song Shijie's family members are still in the process of bringing a lawsuit against the Tiexi Police.
