[Beijing] Four Practitioners Suffer from Cruel Torture After Being Arrested in Zhongguancun

The police arrested four practitioners when they were shopping in the downstairs area at Zhongguancun's Science & Trade Building.

A practitioner named Li Gang was shocked to the point of incontinence and went into a coma for several hours. Later the practitioners were separately sent to Zhuozhou City Detention Center. (This incident is part of a retaliation plot on the part of the police after the recent rape of two female Falun Dafa practitioners in Hebei Province was publicized worldwide.)

To resist the persecution, several practitioners staged a hunger strike. They have stopped drinking water and eating for over ten days and have become extremely weak. Yang Yugang and other personnel from the National Security Team send the practitioners to the Emergency Section of Erkang Hospital daily for force-feeding. One practitioner's life is in peril now.
