Party Officials Liu Songhua and Luo Xun Relentlessly Persecute Guiyang City Dafa Practitioners

1. Crimes Committed by Liu Songhua

Liu Songhua, is the former deputy general secretary of the Party area office at the Southwestern Tool Manufacturing Factory in Xiaohe District, Guiyang City. Since July 20, 1999, he has taken an active role in assisting Jiang Zemin's regime, the "610 Office" of the province and the city, and the Xiaohe District Police Station to persecute Dafa practitioners [The "610 Office" is an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Dafa, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems]. Some Dafa practitioners who used to work in the factory have been sent to prisons, while some others have been sent to forced labour camps. Liu Songhua also fabricated charges and expelled steadfast practitioners from the Party. He also sent many Dafa practitioners to different brainwashing centres organized by the province, the city and the district.

For example, in January 2002, Liu forced six Dafa practitioners who worked for the factory to participate in a brainwashing class held by the provincial government of Guizhou. The factory was on the verge of bankruptcy and was not even able to pay the factory workers' regular salaries. The brainwashing class charged the factory 2000 Yuan per person each month [500 yuan is the average monthly income for an urban worker in China.]. In addition, for every practitioner, the factory was ordered to send another person to guard the practitioner, and each factory guard cost the factory 2000 Yuan each. So a total of 12 people went to the brainwashing centre at a total cost of 24,000 Yuan.

Some Dafa practitioners were very busy at work, but were forced to attend the brainwashing classes. Some had to flee their homes to avoid the persecution. Even women with young children were forced to attend. Liu personally led the factory security guards as police escorts in enforcing the practitioners attendance at the brainwashing centres. He has received awards and recognition from the heads of the "610 Office."

2. Crimes Committed by Luo Xun

Luo Xun is the head of the security department at the Southwestern Tool Manufacturing Factory in Xiaohe District, Guiyang City. Even before the Jiang regime began to officially persecute Dafa practitioners on July 20, 1999, Luo started to gather background information on practitioners who worked for the factory in preparation for the persecution. After July 20, 1999, Luo devoted even more energy to persecuting practitioners who worked for the factory. He worked closely with Liu Songhua and committed many crimes against practitioners. He ransacked the homes of many and had the practitioners followed or watched. He also sent many to different brainwashing centres organized by the province, the city and the district, and assisted the heads of the "610 Office" and the local police in trying to brainwash the practitioners

3. Practitioner Zhou Rong Tortured to Death

Mr. Zhou Rong lived in Guiyang City. He was arrested in 2000 for going to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. He was sent to Tianjin and then to Hebei Province where he was tortured and sent back to Guizhou in critical condition. His family sent him to the 44th Military Hospital in the Xiaohe Distirct of Guiyang City for treatment. He died in the hospital in 2001. He was only in his twenties when he died.
