Dafa Practitioner Li Zhongmin from Dalian City Tortured and Killed in Dabei Prison (Photo)

May 19, 2003

(Clearwisdom.net) Dafa practitioner Li Zhongmin from Dalian City, male, 31, was illegally arrested by the Dalian City Police Department on January 12, 2002. He was shackled on the hands and feet, and held in the No. 7 cell, Yaojia Detention Center, Dalian City, Liaoning Province. He was tortured while in detention, and this was reported earlier on Clearwisdom. Later he was secretly and illegally sentenced to 15 years in jail. He was transferred to Dabei Prison in Shenyang City and subjected to constant torture until his death on March 4, 2003. When he died, some witnesses saw numerous wounds on his body, with bloodstains at back of his head and a big area of bruises on his inner thighs. There were many red marks on his back, and his eye sockets were deeply sunken.

The police department had all along regarded him as a "key person," and several police units had asked their higher levels to record their "achievements" for his arrest. The higher authorities they had petitioned included Dalian City Police Department, Jinzhou District Police Department, Wafangdian Police Department, Pulandian Police Department and others. After being arrested, Li Zhongmin refused to cooperate with the police's demands. Over the course of more than one year of detention, he maintained hunger strikes to protest the illegal arrest and persecution. He suffered horrendous abuse and mistreatment, and as a result, at the age of 31, he looked like an old man.

Zhongmin's brother, Li Zhongke, also a Falun Gong practitioner, is being held and abused in Dalian City Labor Camp. Hearing of Li Zhongmin's death, his maternal grandmother passed away not long after as a result of extreme sorrow.

We call on all Dafa practitioners in Dalian City, as well as police officers who have a sense of justice, to report the details of what happened to Li Zhongmin and those responsible for his death, so that they can be brought to justice.
