Plain-clothed police from the Shanghai Cangning Bureau of Public Security kidnapped 39-year-old Zhang Ying on September 8th outside her home. Her mother says Zhang was taken away because she practices Falun Gong, a traditional Chinese meditation discipline.

[Ms. Cu, Zhang Ying’s Mother]:
“The police illegally arrested her and beat her. Zhang Ying was hung up and beaten by three people until she fainted. Now we can’t see her. It’s been over a month, nearly two months now. The police said, ‘You can go sue us.’ When we went to ask about her condition, they argued with us. Think how upset we must be, we can’t even fall sleep at night.”

Zhang’s lawyer says police tortured her, and he’s now suing the police on her behalf.

[Zhang Chuanli, Zhang Ying’s Lawyer]:
“Around September 22, at the Shanghai Prison Hospital where I saw Zhang Ying, she needed people to help her walk. She could not walk by herself and was extremely weak. She said police tortured her to get a confession, so now I’ve filed a law suit on her behalf.”

Zhang went on a hunger strike to protest her torture, but was later taken to a hospital and force-fed.

Zhang’s mother-in-law says this is the fourth time Zhang has been arrested for her practice of Falun Gong. She’s calling on the international community to help rescue Zhang.

Since 1999, Falun Gong adherents in China have been persecuted by the communist regime. Survivors consistently give accounts of brutal torture in labor camps and detention centers. According to the Falun Dafa Information Center, more than 3,000 people have been killed for practicing Falun Gong.
