(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Xie Chunze, over 30 years old, lives in Waisha Town, Chenghai City, Guangdong Province. He was arrested by officers of Waisha Police Station in June 2000. He was then detained in Sanshui Forced Labor Camp for two years, where he suffered inhuman torture, and extreme devastation of his mind and body. Under this pressure, he was once known to have lost consciousness for three days and nights. After he woke up, it was seen that he had suffered a mental breakdown.

Mr. Xie went on a hunger strike in protest of the persecution. As a result, his prison term was extended by two months. When he left the forced labor camp, he was emaciated and did not even have the strength to walk. He had completely collapsed mentally, had irregular breathing, and weighed less than 35 kg. Those who knew him thought he would not live much longer.

When he returned home, Mr. Xie lay in bed for two months, immobile. His breathing problems worsened and he nearly suffocated several times. Wounds sustained while being force-fed by prison guards did not heal completely and became permanent scars.

Officers of the Waisha Town CCP 610 Office and the Pengzhong Residents' Committee continued to harass Mr. Xie at home. With Mr. Xie in a state of complete mental collapse, only his mother, Cai Yu'e, a fellow practitioner, was left to take care of his ailing father. Nevertheless, thugs from the 610 Office arrested Cai Yu'e and sent her to the Chenghai Brainwashing Center in an attempt to convince her that it was her son who was at fault. Those who committed these crimes were staff of the Chenghai Public Security Bureau and 610 Office, Waisha Police Station and Pengzhong Residents' Committee.

In January 2004, officers of Waisha Police Station, Shantou Public Security Bureau and Shantou Longhu Public Security Sub-bureau broke into Mr. Xie's place and ransacked it. They took him to the Longjin Police Station in Shantou City. At the police station, Mr. Xie suffered more brutal torture. He was continuously interrogated for six days and nights, and was not allowed to close his eyes for even a moment. He suffered threats and humiliation. Mr. Xie resisted with a hunger strike, and spent the six days without food or water. During the interrogations, a police officer struck Mr. Xie in the head with a blunt object, leaving him with brain damage.

Mr. Xie Chunze's life was destroyed. After being taken home by his family again, he was forced into destitution. These crimes were perpetrated by the officers of Waisha Police Station, Shantou Public Security Bureau and Shantou Longhu Public Security Sub-bureau.

Since the persecution of Falun Gong started on July 20, 1999, Mr. Xie Chunze's family has been torn apart by constant threats and harassment from the officers of Waisha Police Station and 610 Office, and the Pengzhong Residents' Committee. His father Xie Jiqi, ill from the constant fear and fighting, died in January 2003. The officers of Waisha Police Station and 610 Office, and Pengzhong Residents' Committee are responsible for his death. In April 2005, police officers of Waisha Police Station again arrested Mr. Xie's mother, Cai Yu'e, and held her prisoner at the Sanshui Brainwashing Center for four months.
