Dalian City Police Arrest Practitioner Zhang Guoyu Again; His Family Can Find No Refuge from the Persecution

On September 12th, 2006, policemen from the Dalian City National Security Team, National Security Team in Ganjingzi Branch of Dalian City Social Security Bureau, Jiaojinshan Police Station in Ganjingzi Branch, Navy Square Police Station in Zhongshan Branch, broke into Dafa practitioner Zhang Guoyu's workplace. They arrested and detained him at the fifth prison in Yaojia Detention Centre in Dalian City. Zhang Guoyu is now on a hunger strike to protest the unjust detention.

For the past few years, Dafa practitioner Zhang Guoyu and his wife Shen Lian have been persecuted repeatedly. They were once sentenced to forced labour camp for two years, and were dismissed by their company for no reason. They suffered physical and psychological abuse on a daily basis.

Zhang Guoyu and Shen Lian were employed by the Dalian Branch, China Netcom Group. They both cultivated according to Falun Dafa teachings and became excellent workers that displayed good character. They were repeatedly recognised for their good work.

After the persecution of Falun Gong began, in 2001, Zhang Guoyu and Shen Lian went to Beijing to appeal to higher authorities for Falun Gong, but were detained and sentenced to forced labour for two years. During that time, nobody took care of their seven-year-old son, and thus a happy family was torn apart.

Under Jiang Zemin's policy of "destroy them physically, ruin their reputations, and bankrupt them financially" against Falun Gong, the China Netcom Group dismissed Zhang Guoyu and Shen Lian, and placed both of them on probation for two years. On September 13th, 2004, because they went to the higher authorities and appealed for Falun Gong, the company gave them low scores in work performance evaluation and ranked them at the bottom of the company. Because of this illegal decision, Zhang Guoyu and his wife appealed to the Labour Arbitration Department in the High and New Technology Area and to the Zhongshan District Court and Dalian Intermediate Court, but did not receive any responses.

In these several years, Zhang Guoyu and his wife suffered great mental pressure every day and experienced inhuman torture and persecution. Zhang Guoyu went to a new department to work and within only one week, on September 12th, 2006, he was arrested by policemen again from the Dalian City National Security Team, Navy Square Police Station in Zhongshan Branch, and Jiaojinshan Police Station in Ganjingzi Branch, and was detained in the fifth prison in Yaojia Detention Centre. The department responsible was the National Security Team in Ganjingzi Branch of Dalian City Social Security Bureau.

In 2001, Shen Lian suffered a mental collapse and was taken to the hospital. Seeing her husband detained, she is devastated and cries every day.

Xuanxuan, the son of Zhang Guoyu, misses his father very much. He wrote on a piece of paper: "There is nothing wrong with believing in Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance. Give my father Zhang Guoyu back to me."
