Mother, Father and One-Year-Old Child Imprisoned by Qinhuangdao City "610 Office" Personnel

Lixian County, Qinhuangdao City is one of the places where the Jiang Zemin regime uses the cruellest methods to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners. The officials once were so proud of such achievements that they openly publicized the cruel torture methods they had used. They revealed them to the whole country on China's Central Television. Falun Dafa practitioners in that county have been suffering horribly, physically and mentally, from these torture methods.

It is very possible that in present-day China no one would believe that someone would be detained merely for wanting to be a good person and for not wanting to renounce ones beliefs. Yet, this miscarriage of justice happened to a family of three: husband, wife and their one-year-old daughter. All three were detained in prison.

Th child is called Guo Yuetong, the mother's name is Liu Aihua and the father's name is Guo Yuting. Ms. Liu Aihua has benefitted greatly, physically and mentally, from practising Falun Dafa. She risked her life so more people would hear the truth. She went with fellow practitioners to Tiananmen Square to unfold banners. She brought her baby along, although it was only 28 days since she had given birth. Afterwards she was forced to become homeless and wander about for a year to evade being arrested.

Upon returning home, personnel from the "610 Office" (1) collaborated with the Lixian County Police Department to arrest her. They then sent her to the county detention centre and detained her for 23 months. Subsequently, they sent her to a brainwashing centre where she was held for more than a year. What is beyond the understanding of people is that her one-year-old child had also been detained. After the persecution of Falun Dafa practitioner Liu Aihua and her daughter at the county brainwashing centre was made public, those depraved people released the mother and daughter. This was only possible through intense outside pressure. However, they detained the child's father Guo Yuting instead. Upon his arrest, Mr. Guo could not walk, as his legs had been badly injured because of torture.

(1) "610 Office": a bureau specifically created by the Chinese government to persecute Falun Gong. It has absolute power over each level of administration in the Party, as well as over the political and judiciary branches.
