While a group of investigators from the United Nations has been investigating cases of torture in China since November 22, 2005, police from Dongchengfang Town Police Station, Zhuozhou City, Hebei Province, under the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) policy of persecuting Falun Gong, took into custody two female Falun Gong practitioners, Ms. Liu Jizhi and Ms. Han Yuzhi, removing them from their homes. During the so-called “official investigation” at Dongchengfang Town Police Station, a policeman named He Xuejian raped Ms. Liu Jizhi and Ms. Han Yuzhi.
According to a Clearwisdom.net report on December 1, Ms. Liu Jizhi, 51 years old, is from Xitong Village, Dongchengfang Town, Zhuozhou City, Hebei Province. She has two daughters.
Around 8:00 p.m. on November 24, 2005, while Ms. Liu Jizhi was alone at home with doors locked during her husband’s absence, six or seven policemen climbed the wall and broke into her home. They pressed her to the ground while they ransacked her home, leaving nothing unturned. The police confiscated Falun Gong exercise music tapes and an audiocassette player with an English-language cassette.
In the dim light, Ms. Liu could tell that they were wearing police uniforms, but they did not show Ms. Liu their police badges or any search warrants. That night, Ms. Liu was brought to the village’s jail, where she was transferred to the police van and sent to Dongchengfang Police Station.
Raped after Shock by Electric Baton
After years of persistent persecution since July 20, 1999, the local police seem to have come accustomed to hating and torturing Falun Gong followers. At the police station, the police asked Liu, “How many people are practicing Falun Gong in your village?” Ms. Liu replied, “I don’t know.” The police immediately jumped on Mr. Liu and brutally beat her.
They also made her squat with her arms stretched out in front of her chest. Next they began to beat her with stun batons and rubber clubs. Then the police forced her to slightly stand up with her knees, causing her to collapse to the ground. After repeated torture and beatings, Ms. Liu’s hips, thighs, and many areas on her body were severely bruised and injured.
A policeman even groped her body in a lewd manner and told her obscenely, “Do you think I am being thuggish?”
