(Minghui.org) An Anyang City, Henan Province, man died in custody one month after he was arrested for practicing Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline that has been persecuted by the Chinese communist regime since 1999. 

According to Mr. Li Xianxi’s family who saw his body, he was emaciated. His head was swollen, and there were injuries on his back and knees.

Mr. Li, in his 50s, had operated a small shop and was the breadwinner in his family. He went out to buy steamed buns for dinner at around 5 p.m. on May 11, 2021, and never returned. It’s reported that he was arrested when the police saw him talking to people about Falun Gong. 

Four officers of the Beiguan Police Station ransacked his two residences without showing a search warrant or their IDs. A criminal detention notice was issued the next day and Mr. Li was held at the Anyang City Detention Center.

Because Mr. Li did the Falun Gong exercises at the detention center, the guards handcuffed and shackled him. He held a hunger strike to protest the persecution. 

On the morning of June 13, Mr. Li’s family was suddenly informed that he had died the day before. The authorities refused to provide further information about his death.

Prior to his latest arrest, Mr. Li was arrested in later 2007 for posting messages about Falun Gong in public areas. He was given one year at the Xuchang Forced Labor Camp.
