Officers from the 610 Office told Mr. Xie's family and relatives, "We don't care if you expose our actions to the international community. That is why we mobilized so many people."
At noon on May 30, 2009, staff from the Chengdu City 610 Office cremated Mr. Xie's body.
Mr. Xie died the evening of May 27, 2009. Four days earlier, on the evening of May 23, at 10 o'clock, Fang Guofu from the Corporation and officers from the Chengdu City 610 Office brought Mr. Xie back home. At the time, after twenty days of imprisonment, Mr. Xie was emaciated, had lost bladder control, could barely swallow, suffered from severe chest pain, and fell in and out of consciousness. They wanted to shirk responsibility for Mr. Xie's condition.
Mr. Xie was detained in the so-called "Chengdu City Legal Learning Center." Within 20 days of relentless torture, Mr. Xie turned from a very healthy man to someone barely recognizable, a man with a broken body. After Mr. Xie was taken home, he spoke intermittently about what had happened at the so-called Learning Center. According to his family, staff in Chengdu City Legal Learning Center (also called Xinjin Brainwashing Center) injected him with unknown drugs.
Mr. Xie was 69 years old and lived at No. 188, Qingjiang E Rd. He had retired from the Hydro China Chengdu Engineering Corporation because he had been quite ill. His wife Ms. Yu Qinfang, 67 years old, also retired from the same company. They practiced Falun Dafa since 1996. All of their illnesses disappeared once the practiced Falun Dafa.
Since former Chinese leader Jiang Zemin launched the persecution of Falun Gong in July 1999, Mr. Xie and his wife have suffered a great deal. The Qingyang District Public Security Division in Chengdu City, the Fu'nan Street Party Office, the Fu'nan Police Station, the HydroChina Chengdu Engineering Corporation, the Science Research Institute of HydroChina Chengdu Engineering Corporation, and the Residential Committee ordered people to monitor and follow the couple, ransack their home, fine them, arrest them and take them to brainwashing and detention centers.
On April 29, 2009, the Gaoxin District Court tried practitioner Mr. Chen Changyuan. Mr. Xie and his wife went to the court to support Mr. Chen. However, police officers arrested them outside the court and took them to the Xinjin Brainwashing Center.
The Xinjin Brainwashing Center is located in Caiwan, Huaqiao Town, Xinjin County, Chengdu. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) spent five million yuan (~US$720,000) to remodel an old air force base and made it into a brainwashing center. At the brainwashing center, the guards torture practitioners, inject them with nerve damaging drugs, mix health-damaging drugs in practitioners' meals and water, force-feed practitioners, extort money from practitioners and torment them in an attempt to force them to renounce Falun Dafa.
Many practitioners had suffered a mental collapse due to the torture, some became physically disabled, severely ill, and some died at the center. Practitioners who died in the center include Ms. Deng Shufen (in her 70s) from Shuangliu County, Chengfu; Ms. Li Xiaowen (67 years old) from Shuangliu County, Chengfu and Ms. Liu Shenglv (53 years old) from Xindu District, Chengdu. Those who suffered a mental collapse included Ms. Zhu Xia, Ms. Liu Ying and Ms. Tan Shaolan. According to staff at the center, over 1,000 Falun Gong practitioners had been taken to the center and were tortured.
After Mr. Xie returned home, he suffered severe chest pain and could not move his body. On May 25, he fell into a coma. At 10:00 p.m. on May 27, Mr. Xie died. Before he died, he said that Fang Guofu from the Corporation and officers from the Chengdu City 610 Office abducted him near the Gaoxin District Court. His health deteriorated because of torture and he couldn't eat or drink for more than ten days while detained at the brainwashing center.
After Mr. Xie died, his family demanded that his wife Yu Qinfang be released from the Xinjin Brainwashing Center. After she returned home on May 28, 2009, the CCP officials, police officers, and plainclothes police surrounded their home. Their phone calls were monitored. All guests had to sign a document and were interrogated.
At 1:00 a.m. on May 29, 2009, a dozen people from the National Security 610 Office of Chengdu, the Shirennanlu Community General Political Office, a local police station and the corporation broke into the funeral home. They wanted to confiscate Mr. Xie's body and cremate it to destroy the evidence that he was tortured. Mr. Xie's two sons and relatives refused to release the body to them. At 3:00 a.m., a large group of riot police surrounded the funeral home and forcibly took the body. The two brothers tried to stop the police but were pushed to the ground and kicked and beaten. They were both injured all over their bodies. Mr. Xie's oldest son's leg was badly injured. The police covered the heads of the female family members with the cloth that was used to cover Mr. Xie's body so that they couldn't see what was happening.
