1. [Huaihua City, Hunan Province] Mr. Yu Shaoqi Is Tortured For Clarifying the Truth of Falun Gong

In September 2004, Mr. Yu Shaoqi was arrested for clarifying the truth from a phone booth. Yu Qingchang and Xie Kaiji from the Chenxi County National Security Brigade tortured Yu Shaoyi during the interrogation and beat him until he bled. At the county prison, Yu Shaoqi went on a hunger strike in protest and lost consciousness while being force-fed. The minute Yu walked into the prison, the director, Liu Qiliang, had him shackled with iron chains meant for prisoners on death row and beat him. On his way to the Xinkaipu Forced Labor Camp in Changsha City, Mr. Yu shouted, "Falun Dafa is great" and was twice beaten until he lost consciousness. In the Xinkaipu Forced Labor Camp, guards arranged for three prisoners to closely follow Mr. Yu and torture him. Yu Shaoqi insisted on doing the exercises and explaining the facts about Falun Gong, so the guards have beaten him many times. Once when Mr. Yu's family went to the labor camp to visit him, his face was bruised and swollen. His family could barely recognize him. Yu Shaoqi is currently on a hunger strike.
