elephant news reporter jiang mingyuan

on september 13, elephant news and elephant gang received a call for help from ms. yu, saying that on april 17 this year, when she went to dengta village, anshan street, jiangxia district, wuhan to ask for money from her debtor, she encountered police officers from the jingang police station of the jiangxia branch who were catching gamblers. she happened to be at the scene and was arrested as a gambler and beaten by the police.

"i was about to answer a call from my granddaughter when a policeman hit me hard on the left shoulder from behind." ms. yu said that she went there just to ask for money. she only had 20 yuan on her and no money in her phone. it was impossible for her to be involved in gambling. she also actively cooperated with the investigation at the scene. "then another policeman came and kicked me in the chest with his leather shoe. i fainted at that time. he dragged me up by my hand and took me to the jiangxia branch."

ms. yu said that after she was taken to the jiangxia public security bureau, she was beaten again. "they asked me to admit that i had gambled, but i would not admit it if i had not. then another policeman came and dragged me into a small dark room and slapped me four times in a row." ms. yu was afraid of being beaten again, so she had to admit that she was involved in gambling. she was eventually detained for ten days.

on april 28, after ms. yu was released from the detention center, her son, mr. hu, took her for a full-body checkup. "after the checkup, we found that my mother had three broken ribs." mr. hu said that because his mother's injuries were serious, on august 1, he took her to the tianping judicial medical appraisal institute in lanzhou city, gansu province for an injury appraisal. "i wanted to see if the police beating of my mother met the standards for filing a criminal case, and whether i could apply for a criminal case."

according to the gansu tianping judicial medical appraisal institute's judicial appraisal opinion, ms. yu's injuries were grade ii minor injuries. it was determined that ms. yu, the person being appraised, had a clear history of chest trauma, which directly led to her right rib fracture, and there was a causal relationship between the two. ms. yu's son said that this incident caused his mother both physical and mental harm, and his mother also reported this situation to the wuhan municipal public security bureau, but did not get a satisfactory response.

"we showed our medical records to the people at jingang police station, but they did not agree. they told us that this only proved that my mother was injured, but it did not mean that they beat her," said ms. yu's son.

ms. wu, who claimed to have been arrested for gambling at the scene, said she was a witness when ms. yu was beaten: "i saw a lot of people beating her there, saying she was dishonest. several people at the scene also saw it."

on september 18, a reporter from elephant news called the jingang police station of jiangxia branch, and a police officer on duty said that there was indeed a gambling arrest at the time, but there was no beating. "our discipline inspection commission has already checked and there was no beating. those involved in gambling were arrested at the time, but we did not beat anyone."
