Practitioner Mr. Liu Changling from Shandong Province Died Due to Persecution

Falun Dafa practitioner Mr. Liu Changling, an engineer from the Qiuji Coal Mine of Qihe County in Shandong Province, was arrested and detained numerous times after the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started to persecute Falun Dafa in July 1999. Mr. Liu passed away on July 22nd, 2005, at the age of 56. Just over a month before he passed away, Mr. Liu was still under surveillance and was almost arrested.

While Mr. Liu Changling was alive, he worked hard and was never upset by criticism. He enjoyed helping others and was favourably thought of by his colleagues. After the persecution started, Mr. Liu Changling was arrested numerous times. On July 20th, 1999, Mr. Liu Changling was detained for over one week by the police officers of his workplace under orders from the Qihe County Police Department.

In December 2000, when Mr. Liu was exercising his right as a citizen to appeal, he was arrested and held in the Qihe County Detention Centre. Later the Qihe County Public Security Branch authorities took him to a forced labour camp. He was found to be not qualified based on the physical exam, and the forced labour camp rejected him. Only then did the government authorities give up the continued torture.

In the autumn of 2002, Mr. Liu was again detained. This time he was subjected to brainwashing for more than ten days. In the spring of 2003, Mr. Liu was once more put through brainwashing and his spirit suffered greatly. The CCP's incessant, high-pressured persecution greatly injured Mr. Liu's body and soul. Finally, he was no longer able to bear it. He started to show illness symptoms and passed away.

The former head of the Public Security Branch, Zhang Guofeng (male), fabricated charges in order to extort illegal fines from Falun Dafa practitioners. According to an incomplete estimate, by the end of 2003, the Dezhou Brainwashing Centre and the Qihe County Police Department had extorted over 70,000 yuan¹ from more than 10 practitioners. On September 27th, 2005, the police officers from the Punishment and Investigation Department of the Qihe County Police Department broke open the door of the house where practitioner Mr. Meng Lijun was living and took him away. Two other practitioners, Mr. Yu Chuanqi and Mr. Sun Yinsheng from Yanggu County of Liaocheng City, were also arrested.
