Case Description:
Mr. Li Shaochen, a resident of Tianjin, was arrested on December 7, 2016, and sentenced to four-and-a-half years in Binhai Prison by Hongqiao District Court in October 2017.NNThe Binhai Prison carried out a campaign since May 2019 to force imprisoned Falun Gong practitioners to renounce their belief. All practitioners, including those who are ill, those in their 70s and 80s, as well as those who are scheduled to be released soon, have been required to “transform (renounce their faith).”NNDifferent forms of physical torture, as well as sleep and food deprivation are being used to try to “transform” the practitioners. This has resulted in the death of Mr. Li on March 6, 2020, at the age of 77.NNYet one prison guard boasted, “I'd rather have one dead Falun Gong practitioner ‘transformed’ over a live one who is not.”
