Du Xu, male, 35-years-old, is a former employee of Nanyang Meat Processing Factory. Du graduated from a junior college. On November 15, 2000, he was arrested at home by the Police Department of Wancheng Branch, Nanyang City, for telling the truth about Falun Dafa and revealing the brutal crackdown on Falun Gong to the people.
Around one o'clock in the afternoon on November 28, the Security Team sent Du Xu to the First People's Hospital for emergency treatment. Du was barely alive as a result of the cruel torture he received from the police. The Team did not notify his family until after 7:00 p.m. Du's family came over to care for him at the hospital, and found that Du was not recognizable due to the beatings. Medical examination revealed trauma to a large area of the brain, and blood inside the scull. His left leg was broken and his legs and feet were black and swollen. He had wounds all over his body including black eyes. Du has been unconscious since November 28, and was declared to be in critical condition. Doctors have operated on his injured brain, and told Du's family that Du could lose his life at any minute.
There was no information on Du Xu from November 15 when he was arrested to November 28 when he was delivered to the hospital. Therefore, it remains unknown how the Security Team tortured him during that period of time. The Team claimed that Du Xu was in the state of unconsciousness because he fell off the building.
Du did not violate any provision of the current criminal law or the Constitution of China. His actions were simply to be a good person, to tell the truth, and to ask for fairness for Falun Gong. How could the police dare to physically and mentally torture him to such a degree when they are supposed to uphold and enforce the law? Where is their humanity and their conscience?
Du Xu is still in critical condition at the present time. We sincerely call upon officials from various levels of the government and kind-hearted people to offer their help for the sake of the future of this country and the Chinese race, and the in the interest of the people.
