The 54th Practitioner Died of the Persecution

Sept. 27, 2000

Cui Jianguo, male, 36 years old, was a resident of Yongqiang Sub-district, Changba District in Jilin City, Jilin Province. On July 5, 2000, he went to Beijing to appeal for the right to practice Falun Dafa. He was taken away and sent to the Miyun town on the night of July 7. Earlier that day, he had displayed a banner at Tiananmen Square. At around 10 AM on July 11, he was transferred to Jilin Detention Center and locked on the 8th floor. At 11AM, he was sent back after being taken away for interrogation. He told other practitioners about how police abusively interrogated him and his fellow practitioners. The police wanted him to swear at Teacher and Dafa, otherwise they would beat him in various ways. He said, "How can a practitioner rebuke the Teacher, rebuke Dafa?" At around 1 PM, he was taken away for interrogation a second time. The other practitioners returned only to discover Cui's pair of shoes and insoles thrown within a meter from the door entrance; he never returned since. The police came later and asked Cui's family to collect his body, informing them that Cui had jumped out of the window and committed suicide.

Practitioner Cui is now gone -- gone in such a hurry because of maltreatment and injustice while in police custody. His jobless wife and little daughter are now left on their own.
