Dafa Practitioner Li Yequan Needs Immediate Rescue: He Is on the Verge of Death, His Oesophagus Ruptured during Force-Feeding

On September 23rd, 2005, Mr. Li Yequan, a Dafa practitioner from Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province was "illegally arrested¹". Li Yequan immediately began a hunger strike, demanding to be released without any charges. However, he was brutally persecuted through force-feeding. His oesophagus was ruptured from repeated force-feeding, and he frequently loses consciousness from the unbearable pain. His health is in a critical state.

On September 27th, the Daqing City Public Security Bureau, the Judicial Bureau, the 610 Office² and the forced labour camp held a joint meeting which lasted the whole night. They had Ruan Dianlong, the deputy secretary of the Daqing Municipal Party Committee, sign a warrant to send Li Yequan to the Daqing Forced Labour Camp.

Because the lab report on Mr. Li's blood showed that his white blood cell count was over 20,000, the Daqing Forced Labour Camp refused to take him. But under pressure from Cao Liwei, the chief of the Public Security Bureau, who claimed that Deputy Secretary Ruan Dianlong had already signed the warrant, the labour camp had no choice but to accept Li Yequan.

Li Yequan was imprisoned in the Second Section of Daqing Forced Labour Camp, which is specifically designated for the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. The police handcuffed and shackled Li Yequan and force-fed him every night after 6:30 p.m. They force-fed Li with liquor many times and even spat their phlegm into his mouth.

Li Yequan's oesophagus has been ruptured from frequent force-feeding. The pain that he has to endure is so unbearable that he has fainted many times. According to witnesses, the brutal force-feeding of Li Yequan by the police is a scene too horrible for description by any language. Li Yequan's health remains in precarious condition.

Falun Gong practitioners Wang Bin, He Huajiang, and Lu Bingshen were all persecuted to death in the same section of the labour camp. Swift action may save Li Yequan from a similar fate.

Note

1. “Illegally arrested”: Contrary to what former Chinese leader Jiang Zemin, who initiated the persecution, and the Chinese Communist Party would like the world to believe, practising Falun Gong is NOT illegal in China. Although the Public Security Department issued an unconstitutional set of restraints on the practice at the onset of the persecution in 1999, no laws have been passed by the only legislative body in China, the People's Congress, banning Falun Gong or granting the police the authority to arrest Falun Gong practitioners for practising the exercises or distributing leaflets.
